Apple Building Massive Structure at Flint Center for iPhone 6 Event

[Solver]

Some fly a GoPro drone over there

This must be more then just the iPhone 6 and a wearable device ( which may act as a watch as well but not as the main purpose ). I am really excited.

This is Apple saying "Samsung dropped an "iPhone killer? Lets just drop something too! Lets drop a "Entire Company Killer"! Your move ANDROID, not just samsung anymore. Apple is going for the THROAT.

Illuminati HQ, that is all

Here is the correct location (ignore my last image post in this thread)

It's a large Beats headphones kiosk.

Given how much they are tossing into this I doubt there will be an Oct event. On sale dates sure, but another announcement I'm not believing.

Do you believe they're going to cram iPads into this September event too?

Or are they going to silently release all new iPads without an event?

Neither one of those seems as likely as an October event to me. But then they'll need more than just iPad for a real event. Apple TV updates too?

Though really it seems to me that this is the hands on area for everyone after the event to get a closer look at the new iPhone and all that. I'm willing to bet that this is all this is.

Google had mysterious barges, Apple makes a mysterious building.

I would buy all 3!! not the phone or the watch, well maybe the phone.

I've been waiting for significant updates to those same ones! I have a fist sized wad of money I'm getting ready to throw at the screen come the 9th.

It is on top of the sunken gardens.

These newest photos help. At least one of them also seems to show a corner of the Flint Center. The building seems to be covering the garden area to the south of the theater.

I think you are right.

We have solved it. The temp Apple structure is being built on top of the sunken garden.

Now if I can get my lvl 100 human warrior into that sunken temple I might be able to get the drop from the big boss.

Ha !

World of Warcraft reference.

 

[Illuminated]

Honestly, it kind of looks like a stage!

 

[paulsdenton]

It's looking like a huge sound stage, really.

 

[newyorksole]

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.

Lmfaoooo . I'm dead omg .

 

[uwdude]

Well I think a really good guess for this might be some kind of memorial or statue for Steve Jobs being placed in the garden. That would explain moving the event over there this year.

Did the original iPhone get leaked much before it was announced? As in weeks before?

iPhone, iPod, iPad...I don't think any of them leaked (original models) before they were revealed. There was lots of speculation about the iPhone and iPad but nothing concrete. Can't think of any new product lines that were leaked prior to their reveal.

Now, for new released of existing products, they don't seem to be able them under cover at all these days.

This place holds more than the WWDC venue and WWDC is normally the biggest event of the year.

Not this year though! Cannot wait!

I wonder how many Apple employees know what's being announced at this event?

OSX and Mac.

Should we go find some and see if we can "persuade" them to tell us

 

[theBB]

please, please, please, no. A fake, model home sounds 100x more interesting than a U2 show.

god help us if this is true.

On the other hand, Apple now owns Beats, so it might make sense to emphasize music. Granted, U2 may not be all that popular with Beats demographic, so another band might make more sense.

iPad was leaked hours before announcement.

 

[theBB]

That's not a rumor.. I think the building is really there...

It may not be for Apple though...

To guess at the order of business, the announcement will be held in the theater and afterwards the press will convene to the magic box to see the product.

I'm just hoping that it hasn't been built to reveal a gigantic statue of Steve.

It can be hit or miss trading around AAPL events. I trade AAPL stock and options daily and track all sorts of data.

Yeah, the share price used to go up before an event or earnings announcement based on speculation and come down substantially right afterwards. The last few times though, it did not come down, it went up even more.
