WWDC22 Online Announced for June 6-10, 2022

[Middleman]

Nintendo, it's been mooted before when Apple met Nintendo at WWDC a few years ago. Nintendo had launched the DS and Apple needed some help with its iPhone. If Apple bought Nintendo that would be a great acquisition.

Actually Apple had been venturing into gaming way before Apple Arcade or the iPhone ever first appeared.
Remember the Pippin? It was a product they had made with Japan's Bandai (and several others) based on the Macintosh to get into the gaming and set-top box markets.

Aah the Pippin!, not one of Apples finest moments. But at least Bungie can claim to have they're FPS on a console before the Xbox and the next Playstation. I still kind of feel Apple doesn't get gaming, I'm sure they're making a lot of cash from Apple Arcade, but not as much as AppleTV or Apple Music. @Bustycat pointed out that Nintendo is an industry leader, so an acquisition probably won't happen, which is a shame. It's all about exclusives now.

Right before WWDC, all Mac Pros and Hackintoshes with an Nvidia graphics card that requires the Web Driver, just exploded.

It's just a coincidence. BTW have you heard about the New Mac Pro coming soon to an Apple store near you ?

Maybe because it's McLovin's b-day...

You may have all seen this on 9to5mac but if not:

Apparently a placeholder for a new product over at BH Photo/Video:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1694666-REG/apple_mac_mini_8_256_m2.html

Of course it may be a no-show, or it may be a spoof-test to see who's looking at what? Should know tomorrow.

This is likely a fake listing. Mac mini is never spelled in all caps. The current listing says MAC MINI TOWER.

It may just be one employee's fake listing to get traffic to their website.

Look at the listing on B&H Photo for the Intel mini 8th gen with 512GB of storage. Look everywhere you see Mac mini on Apple.com or anywhere on the internet.

Then the M1 mini listing:

They would never show: MAC MINI in all caps or put 8/256 M2 in the title.

@pastrychef Maybe Mc LOVIN is responsible for this ?

That's a very good point.

That's a very good point

Look at what the Best Seller on B&H is now:

People who see the 9 to 5 mac article go to B&H looking for an M2 mini then end up buying a discounted Intel i3 version that's getting closed out. At least you can still upgrade the ram yourself from 8GB up to even 64 GB ! Little do they know, Apple will drop support for it in the near future.
