It’s all hype. By noon tomorrow, there will be very little value to any "exclusive", as it will all be exposed and common knowledge by then.

Meh. Not impressed with ABC news or any such tripe.

Cool find.

REALLY hope Apple can live up to the hype they've built, however. Unusual for them to hype this hard.

I think its more of us the people who buy Apple products are are doing the hyping. Apple just sorta sits there and say this is the date of the event lol. With that being said. I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Ummm Apple has commented more than once that they think they have an amazing product line up... The best in 25 years they claimed.

This keynote better be amazing with fireworks and everything with this type of hype they're building.

We'll see in less than 15 hours now.

I'm can't wait anymore...

An exclusive at the "historic" Apple event...

ABC has some sort of "exclusive" coverage for this "historic" Apple event...http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/08/abc-news-teases-exclusive-report-of-historic-apple

This seems like a pretty big deal

 

[The Doctor11]

Yeah but that's ABC. I don't care what ABC has to says.... I want Arn and the of rest of the MacRumors staff to have exclusive access.

I gathered from it simply that he's the only anchor invited to the event. We'll all be getting news from either the live stream or Apple websites, anyhow, but it is good that apparently ABC is going to be promoting it to viewers who may otherwise not know about it.

(Though it's not surprising. Disney, a longtime Apple partner, owns ABC.)

It's hard to tell if their use of the term "historic" is genuine, or if it's hyperbole they're using to help promote ABC. We'll find out soon enough.

I'm definitely looking forward to the iWatch announcement though. I hope Tim or Phil knock it out of the park the way Steve did when he introduced the iPhone and iPad.

What do you KNOW about the 5.5 inch one???
I will tell you - NOTHING, except a leaked battery (and even that is just a wild guess)

I bet you're feeling pretty stupid right now.

A reporter with ABC news labeled it as historic. I don't consider that (in and of itself) noteworthy.

The Camp David Accords were historic. A new iPhone? Not so much.

The Camp David Accords were historic. A new iPhone? Not so much.

A new device that might change or affect the direction of personal technology can be seen as historic as well. Hard to say if this was such, but let's say the original iPhone announcement certainly was, and iPad announcement probably fits into that category as well.
