I see, so you are singling out Samsung? I would be fairly sure the Note 4 will match any 5.5" iPhone and then some. But we will see.
Got a tip for us?

You can tell Apple has WAY too much money on their hands when they could build that gigantic structure at De Anza College just to support the keynote for the new iPhone 6 models. 
Of course they will. You think they're gonna see apples version and say "its ok we got the galaxy gear!"
No. If apple introduced a wearable, samsung will release something with the same features in short order.
Pretty much yes, if anything Apple will just launch a device that copy's the Samsung Gear and Gear Fit. Not including all the other devices out now or already announced.
We won't have to wait a month...if apple introduces some feature that the galaxy gear does not have Samsung will add an S to the front of it. Guaranteed.
So, what are we expecting from the structure? What is most likely? A place to immediately demo new device(s)?
- iRocket / iSpace / or anything that goes to space
- iCar (no, not the navigation sys but an actual car made by Apple) and the demo round
- iHouse complete with iHome system
- Probablly just for afterparty concert
- One more thing!
- iMall (a new shopping mall concept completed with iRobots and iPayments and iBeacons and you can buy your iWatch on spot.)
I hope they work harder then Apple does. How long has it taken to get out a +4" phone, it's almost 2015.
Smaller less wealthy companies built structures almost this size inside the convention halls in Vegas just for a trade show. Same for major fashion shows. Not THAT big of a deal.

I was thinking the same thing. But they can do what they want.
The rewards of a beautiful price point, profit margin and demand.I want to see Tim Cook descend from a crane.
"Samsung wasn't optimistic it could be done. But I didn't take 'wasn't optimistic it could be done' for an answer!"
And then the house falls apart.

Do it in a large convention center floor is one thing. But taking over a sizable chunk of space at a junior college, that's quite something else.
Maybe a cavalcade of activities and a cornucopia of demos a typical major wing ding.
Well none of this stuff has actual laws but based on everything we know and how the world generally works, Apple will either do a 90 minute or 120 event. If you do the math that leaves time for only a few new products with demos that everyone would expect. Could they do a 3 hour event? Yes but they won't or else everyone will walk out asking why did they take so long instead of talking about the few hot new products they just saw. Besides, journalists and their readers have such a headline mentality and iPhones, iWatch, iHome, iPayemnts, iHealth will not all fit in one clickable headline

Actually in this day and age, journalists have a page hit mentality. And the more articles they can generate out of the various bits and pieces the more page hits they will get.
That is the giant mockup of a iPhone 6 retail box, for Map satellite purpose.
