For a split second my thoughts went to the space-ship-campus-building. When that's done, I think they'll do most everything 'at home'. Might as well get used to it.

Saw it. I didn't see anything really new, just confirmation of all the rumors we've been hearing for months.
If they have waited 16 months to release a new phone with NO new physical characteristics, then I'll be surprised. And tons of people will be sorely disappointed, I fear.
Exactly. That was just most of the rumors put together. They know as much as we do! NOTHING!
I did, and I liked what I saw. I'll be getting it, regardless of the form factor. I buy a phone (and any electronic commodity) based on what it does, not necessarilly what it looks like. Yes, a pretty phone is a bonus, but not a deciding factor.
A phone is like a person. The outside may become outdated, it might develop some scratches and blemishes over time, but it's what's on the inside that counts.
Apple doesn't have the right to disclose a person's protected health information (PHI) without that person's permission. And being a former CEO of a major company doesn't automatically waive a person's right to privacy when it comes to his/her health.
Go figure.
A phone is for making phone calls and sending texts on, most of us have iPad's for big screen browsing.

He has been promoted to chairman though, he is still running the show just putting in less hours and probably working from home as opposed to commuting to Cupertino every day.
Jobs is Cook's boss, still the most important person in Apple and Mr Apple as far as the public are concerned.
He understands, he just doesn't give a *****.
----------
That still doesn't mean he waives his right to PHI. President of the US? Maybe. Chairman of the Board of Apple? Still a private citizen, with rights.
He is still the most important man in the country outside of the president and possibly the vice president so is not like a regular company boss, he is the chairman and former CEO of America's biggest company and the most high profile company in the world
If Apple are not honest about his health then they could surely be guilty of fraud by concealing information likely to affect the stock price ?
I think you'll have to ask all the people saying they're "not buying it if it's not bigger, brighter, faster, louder, etc."
I'm due for a new phone, so I'll be buying it regardless.
Even if no one is using it but Apple?
You ever think that just maybe smartphones aren't for you?
+1
Ah, this is the biggest pile of dreck I've ever had the misfortune to read...
Your rose colored glasses need a serious dose of reality. "still running the show...just working from home...". If you think he's involved in anything other than fighting for his life with everything he's got, you're fooling yourself.
only foolish investors
Worship much?
Only foolish investors would expect him to ever return - since January most investors should have been assuming that Steve would be dead soon.
If it's built - the backlash against that stupid building is growing, and Steve won't be around to "wow" the town council.
Hopefully Tim will shelve the design and come up with a smarter solution that's better for the area and the environment.

Steve Jobs is not a commodity he is a human being with a wife and three children. So much for treating a great man with respect. How about treating him humanely. If you can muster that.
Forget about iPhone... just bring in the new faster Macbook Pro's
... or the even faster Powerbook G6

Steve didn't resign before the iPad 2 launch. He has resigned now. Apple is moving along without Steve.
Very well said. Now it is about the company, not Steve.
You should try to get out in the world and broaden your experiences with great people and people who do good in the world. It may be hard to believe, but the world doesn't revolve around Apple. But I'm sure you know that. You're merely playing this ultra fanboy logic for reaction here.
If you think Steve is the next most important person next to the President, you need to reassess your priorities. That has to be one of the most foolish thing I have ever read on this forum, and I have read plenty. My guess is you're going to the extreme viewpoint to get a rise out of everyone, just like LTD does. I don't believe any adult would have this type of viewpoint.
Do you research. Apple is not Americas biggest company.
If other people can't see that you have bought the latest iPhone, then what's the point of buying it?
Superficial people.
Actually, seeing how the iPhone is the best selling phone there is, there are good reasons to not let other people you bought it. Kinda defeats the whole "standing out of the crowd" by itself.
If your goal is to "stand out", you should buy a more obscure phone. For everyone else who wants an iPhone, we don't really care what it looks like as long as it is functional and the iPhone 4 design is perfectly functional.
Apple is the most valuable company on the stock market, I believe its value is the same as Exxon so joint most valuable then so I would say the founder/till recently CEO/chairman of the most valuable company and the man that revolutionised the entertainment industry is by far the most influential businessman and business is how the Obama administration gets its money in order to be able to govern, if there were no businesses there would be no tax revenue for the government to spend so Steve is incredibly important.
Wrong. Apple is a consumer products company. We can survive w/o iPhones, iPads. Exxon is a basic infrastructure company. Without Exxon we can't even have an economy. One is truly valuable overall to society and other only to investors.
Yeah but who knows who the president of Exxon is without looking it up on Google ? probably his wife and family and the board of Exxon and Obama but that is about it whereas everyone around the world knows who Steve Jobs is, go to the foothills of the Himalayas or the outback in Australia or the jungles of Kenya and you will find people who know who Steve Jobs is.
Do a poll of members of the public anywhere asking them to name an American businessman and the top 3 by miles would be Jobs/Gates/Zuckerburg, no one knows who the president of Exxon is so Steve is by far the most important businessman in America in terms of the public.
Steve Jobs' celebrity has nothing to do with whether Apple is truly valuable to America. Without the big oil companies, our cars don't run because they don't have fuel and we don't get groceries because the trucks have no fuel. Oh, and without the natural-gas based modern fertilizer we don't have "big agriculture" either to support feeding a population of 325 million people. In the grand scheme, Apple is a glorified toy company. Even Microsoft has more value because of their enterprise software.
With each post, you outdo your previous one. Please do a little research before posting. You are blinded by your fanboyism. The good news is that it's reversible.
Comedy gold.
Not if federal health privacy laws require that concealment, no matter what the size of the corporation nor the potential effect on the stock market.
