Apple Building Massive Structure at Flint Center for iPhone 6 Event

[2005CTS]

Steve is going to announce the new iPhone with a previously shot announcement video.

I actually had thought that possibly Steve would have recorded a video for the iWatch or whatever it will be called. No matter what...this is going to be huge. I can't wait!!!

It isn't going to be a fake home. The rumors massively underestimated how large the screen on the new iPhone is going to be. Current estimate is 4032 inches.

That can't be right. I did the math and the pixels don't scale properly.

Wouldn't it be funny if the announce something which the press never even knew about such as a car lol

I wish. Sometimes I feel like I should stop reading rumor sites, because it spoils the surprise. I used to read movie websites, but I stopped for that same reason.

On the other hand, I have taken some good stock-buying hints from the rumors in the past. If I had money right now, it would all be in NXP stocks for example.

Where on the campus is this structure? There doesn't seem to be much open space in the immediate vicinity of the actual venue.

Strange how Apple seems to be pulling out all the stops for one single event. They really are going all in on this pre-holiday season without a need for spacing out events. And they still might follow up with October event too!

 

[ianKent]

Would be pretty epic if they pulled a fast one and introduced a product none of us even thought was coming...

Wish we could say more, instead heres Steve. Then the hologram Steve comes out ala tupac.

Maybe Apple are just building an empty shed just to see if Samsung will build a bigger one before September 9th?

So that people can go on about how Samsung is out-innovating Apple?

 

[TXCherokee]

Wow...this could be a big one...

...And here is the obligatory, "That's what she said."

Apple Car would be late. Already done:

Next it will be apple underwear, I know I'd buy it lol I know just where to put the bite of the apple

 

[tridley68]

this is such great news I can not wait till 9/9/14

 

[atrevers]

The building looks like a stage to me - the white bits are covering the speaker stacks and the screens. Given the slogan - "Wish we could say more", they've clearly managed to re-animate Michael Jackson, who is going to be performing a rendition of his duet with Paul McCartney, Say Say Say.

There you go, all discussion can now end.

The least likely though craziest thought would be a Apple TV/iWatch/iPhone/Macbook/iPad Announcement...

Would that make it the best product line in 25 years?

 

[BrettApple]

iPhone 6 on September 9th. 9-6=3. Half-life 3 confirmed.

But really, so excited, selling my 5c and using a BlackBerry Z10 in the meantime. Lol.

 

[Tom8]

Possibly some sort of gym facility that will allow people to test the heart rate monitor, blood oxygen, calorie burners and step counters on the iWatch/Band?

 

[Amazing Iceman]

It's the Borg's ship, disguised as a new product, the iCube...

 

[dugbug]

Aside from the new iPhone and possible iWatch (both of which I'm ecstatic for), I'd like to see:

• Refreshed AppleTV
• Refreshed Mac Mini
• Refreshed Thunderbolt display

I would have to clean my monitor if they released all three of those.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Three story high???
What if it's a personal iMax Theater?

 

[\-V-/]

Oh God, I forgot about that.

I envy you. It's forever burned into my mind.

It's the Borg's ship, disguised as a new product, the iCube...

Its going to be a a fake home to show off the home automation features of iOS8/the watch

Actually I was thinking that it might have something to do with showing off products. If this is the standard college auditorium there isn't likely a huge atrium etc to set up demos. especially one big enough for a couple thousand attendees etc. So Apple could be building their own.

And yes a fake home to show off home kit could be part of it.

It's the monolith! Apple is building the monolith! Hooray for the future.

 

[dugbug]

I just soiled my pants. The front and back.

Now they are color-coded so you know which way is the front.

 

[charlituna]

wonder if they will livestream their own event for once instead of having to go through other outlets

"For once" implies they have never done their own live feed. They have

If they do announce the iWatch then they've done an amazing job at keeping it a secret with no parts leaked at all. Fingers crossed.

quick! someone photoshop the monolith with an apple logo. That way we can say that MR forum is reliable.
