Expect the unexpected from apple

[needthephone]

Everyone is expecting apple to launch 3G Iphone next week.

They probably will but there will be a surprise something else like the tablet or a second nano iphone or a surprise at no iphone announcement.

Sorry to state the obvious but lets not get complacent and assume apple will do what we all want it to do.

i made a thread like exactly the same as like a couple of weeks ago
and yeah i think they will release somthing totally random, like nano touch or somthing, or tablet. who knows

what about if theres no mention next Monday of the new iPhone. He may instead talk about the new software then maybe 10.6
Then a special event at end of june for iPhone 2??

If it's a surprise, it won't be the MacTablet, since everyone knows about that.

Conversely, if no one expects a MacTablet (As much as I want one, I certainly don't), then we will get one.

Wait a minute...

*Ahem* "Apple will never release a MacTablet. That'd be silly!"

*waits to be happily wrong*

Its kinda hard to expect something unexpected when its not expected. That makes the unexpected expected to be expected. Er, what? :p

OnT: I dont think we'll see a iTablet, neither will we see a iPhone Mini. Prolly something mac-ish, like a mac mini update or some'

No iPhone announcement = Apple stock -> kablooie.

the iphone has been out of stock for nearly a month now. They must release the iphone 3g on the 9th june as they're losing iphone sales everyday at the moment. People who go into an o2 shop to get an iphone will be persauded by the staff to by something like an n95 instead.

[LiveForever]

Agree, I think they will announce several iphones

"There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don’t know." Donald Rumsfeld :D

He should be spokesman for Apple.

Man, he'd make a perfect president :cool: ...or Apple employee...

This logic can be applied to the government with one addition: "There are unknown knowns. That is to say, there are things that we once knew but have either forgotten or have pushed to the side and now ignore."

See now I don't get this. People keep forgetting that the D in WWDC stands for Developer, as in software.

If people are expecting this to be a big hardware announcement even, well then they are going to be disappointing.

You're right, the D in WWDC is very important. I'll take back my statement of a new mac mini.

On the 9th and 10th we'll see the new iphone in jobs keynote and then it will all be SDK. :) And some numbers and figures of sales and profits and marketshare. ;)

No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[Tallest Skil]

Only available from Apple Spain: The iNquisition. €1478*.

*Hatred of the Jewish faith not included.

[olternaut]

It seemed like we've been waiting forever. But suddenly its only ONE WEEK TO GO!
My thoughts? The "one more thing" has got to be an iphone nano. And lets not forget the onslaught of killer apps thats going to be showed off at the WWDC. Lets not underestimate that. There is going to be this one killer app thats going to make people's jaws drop I can almost guarantee that.
Steve is going to lay the smackdown on the industry this June 9th. That is fer sure!!! :cool:

Maybe Julie Chen will be there to interview the next person voted out of the Big Brother house. :rolleyes:

Yeah. Most likely some iphone software stuff, maybe more about osx, who knows.

+1

I would EXPECT a new iPhone.

[pavvento]

I am partially torn on this topic. On one hand it would make pefect sense for Apple to release something else since this WWDC will probably have the most press coverage Apple has had. On the other hand could one announcement pottentially minimize another? It will be interesting for sure.

[zainjetha]

i just cant imagine apple not releasing a 3G iphone now due to all the hype i have seen on MR, it would be so sad and funny simultaneously..

Exactly. It amazes me how many people don't understand the nature of the stock market. Stocks ebb and flow, and personally, I hope they do drop again so I can maybe snatch up a few shares. Sure wish I did back in January when everyone was saying how Apple was doomed because of the drop in their spike. Even with a sharp decline, its all but guaranteed to climb up to $200 again.

If they (apple) comes out with a few duds...ala Apple TV, their price will drop (alot) and may never rebound. Jobs knows this and has to please Wall Street.

Not going to happen. Apple is in a better position now than they have ever been. They have a bigger market share in nearly every market sector they are in than ever. I don't see an "epic fail" of the iPhone bringing Apple to their knees. Guess what? Expectations are already higher than could possibly be met, just like they were a year ago, and Apple's stock keep climbing up to that $200 line. Even with the Apple TV.

Hey now, easy on the ATV. I personally think it is one of the best devices to supplement my Mac. I have kids and man is it easier (and safer) to let the kids watch movies via ATV vs. a DVD.

I expect an iPhone or S*** is going to hit the fan.

[netdog]

I expect:


iPhone 2
iPhone apps with a lot of emphasis on mobile 3G media (streaming tv, movie rentals), GPS applications and mobile computing on your phone...

...and then on to the developer stuff (OS X Leopard, maybe something about 10.6, and the iPhone 2.0 software environment).

I don't expect an iPhone Nano until Christmas is just a wee bit closer. A fall launch (September, October) makes a lot more sense. Why cannibalize iPhone 2.o sales?

All in all, I expect it will be great WWDC. That said, I am not expecting some long hoped for Apple appliance that isn't going to materialize.

I love Apple TV. Its a shame more people don't appreciate its awesomeness.

[BornAgainMac]

I like my Apple speakers. I think they sound better than the Bose speakers for the iPod. Too bad they don't sell those anymore. I know I would like Apple TV and don't think it is a flop. Disappointed in the rental prices for movies.

I expect another device like the iPhone or the iPod Touch. I also expect some really must-have Apps for the iPhone.

so you're saying that the new iphone 2 hardware won't be introduced at WWDC? like the whole world is predicting, tech analysts, industry experts, insiders?

There's a thread on this subject here. People's reactions seem okay.

I don't think he's saying that, but I do think he's saying that the iPhone has brought the bandwagon WWDC "fans" from outta the woodworks who seem to confuse WWDC with Macworld.
