It's been a long time since Apple hasn't updated these products

"It's been too long", That is the phrase that Apple has included in the invitation of the event on October 16 in which we will meet the new generation of iPads. If we stop to think, there are some products in the company's catalog that have not been updated for too long and need an urgent renovation.

Not renewing the iPad or iPhone every year does not make sense because it is already a "norm", both for Apple and for users. We have become accustomed to an annual renewal cycle that brings Apple a succulent income that each year seems to increase. Seeing this, it is normal that they focus on their star products, however, below you have some of the products that could use an update.

Apple TV

I still don't understand how Apple does not get more out of its set-top box. There may be enough multimedia content to enjoy in the United States and other territories, but in Spain it has become a mere AirPlay receiver with many limitations.

For many this is enough but what is not understandable is that having the hardware of an iOS device, Apple does not open the doors of its App store to Apple TV. It is clear that it is much more profitable (for them) for us to spend 700 euros on an iPhone 6 for just over 100 euros on an Apple TV but when they sell an ecosystem, they will surely find the key to get more out of it and make that profit profitable. decision.

I am one of those who is waiting for a Apple TV renewed and vitaminized with new functions. Will we see something like this in a future generation of the product?

IPod range

After sales of the iPod Classic ceased, the range of Apple music players is doomed to go extinct. The smartphone is stealing sales of these products year after year and it shows. It is clear that each iPod model is irreplaceable for a very specific thing but when versatility prevails today, it is difficult to keep an iPod just for being good to go to the gym with it.

The iPod Shuffle and the iPod Nano more or less hold there because of their size and what I mentioned before but iPod Touch is nonsense. It costs "only" 200 euros but we are talking about it being equipped with the Apple A5 processor (three generations behind the current Apple A8, it is the processor of the iPhone 4s), a chipset that is clearly outdated and survives for the optimization of iOS but is on the verge of not being supported in the next generation of the system.

For little more money, we bought an iPhone (even if it is second-hand) that will not only be more powerful but will also allow us to do more things.

Mac Mini

717 are the days that the company's entry Mac has not been updated. This period of time in the world of technology means a outdated hardware Clearly, and although computer owners are surely still happy with its current performance, buying this product today is not a good idea since it is almost two years old.

As with iPods, I also know that there are a lot of people waiting for one. major renovation on the Mac Mini and there are signs that it could come very soon. Perhaps the event on October 16 in conjunction with the launch of Yosemite is a good opportunity to renew the little Mac.

Thunderbolt Display

If the 717 days without updating the Mac Mini seem like a lot, watch out for 1121 days wearing the Thunderbolt Display monitor. We do not know what Apple is waiting for to renew it, perhaps the jump to the Retina Display in the iMac is the excuse they have in Cupertino to make us wait but if that is the reason, it gives me that we will still have to wait a long time until we see an iMac of 27 inches capable of moving such a monstrous resolution without being an oven (more oven yet).

In short, we have new iPads on the way but any of the products that you have in this post could become a good candidate to be renewed next Thursday.
