My first thought too! Maybe they will finally have the working space to update the Mac Pro, or design a non-disposable computer!
Got a tip for us?

Your so blinded by looks of the device.
Does the change of design really imply innovation? Releasing a thicker iPhone with bigger battery and completely new design does not imply innovation.
There are so many innovations year over year in every single iPhone, and even more so from the past few years, it is really astonishing. Why are people so caught up in the looks? It literally is what inside that counts.
Their AX processor line itself are huge leaps year over year over any other mobile processor out there. Then you have the amazingly well implementation of Touch ID, which I think we all agree now is not a gimmick.
Same goes for 3D Touch, sure it seems like it was nothing but the technology behind it is innovative, it is amazing what they were able to do. And like Touch ID, it will prove to not be a gimmick to all the nasayers. As it is when I go to use my friends 6, I find my self trying to push into the screen for shortcuts.
Their W1 Bluetooth line, although in its very early stages will prove to be a huge move forward for bluetooth for Apple.
This is only to name a few, I could really go on.
They made a state of the art facility in the USA and people whine. America needs stuff like this there is a bigger picture than just your next fr1gg1ng iPhone.
Official Apple video but on an unofficial Apple Youtube channel.

Cosplay??
Wtf does that have to do w/ Apple, or the new campus, or technology, or ANYHING that anyone has mentioned in this thread?
Does ANYBODY at all on this forum understand what this guy is talking about?
Lol, sooooooooooooooooo weird & random.
I'm sure you could because you are an Apl fan...
I have a wider perspective, Apl ARM of so the make ARM chips , that keep it in house (margins) , they also us a gimped chicklet-springboard old UI OS so the chip really does not matter, its like running an I7 on Ubuntu...ya you could but why? Apl batteries seem to uneven even with their fancy custom ARM chip, custom OS , custom every detail , what gives? Perhaps a SnapDragon would be better?
3D touch is a gimmick , no one really uses it ..very confusing and only supported by some devices, too similar to "force touch" again confusing people just say , "meh."
Touch ID is nice for fingerprint reader, can be spoofed and even when not spoofed 4-5X less secure than other authentication methods like 3D facial Scan. Despite the "30% of retailers claim" still Wholefoods is about the only place people use Apl Pay..sad.
Most of these "innovations" were acquired for a couple Million.... integrated into the Iphone...a modern higher scale version of a maker-device doing an Arduino and plopping things together...that's what Apl does. Then put some fancy name and marketing on it.
W1 kinda cool but tends to drop calls according to Apl fanboi Leo Laporte, so another potential gimmick to get people to spend $180. The air pods are not stylish at all. Take away headphone jack forces people to make a bad decision evidently..more ASP...more stuff yay. Good for investors.
So its not just the looks its inside as well, and don't started on basic services that lack, non repairability of environmental harm. Hard to see when all you use is Apl , get out more. Read non-Apl centric sites for different opinions.

Funny how some here can sneer at anything especially funny as they've never been worth more....Its just a shame they dont know to follow the correct story, bad Apple !!
Unlikely. They are naming the theatre after Job, so the main building will likely go unnamed.
They won't call it the Jobs Building; it would be too confusing if multiple venues at the same location were named similarly.
Point taken, but aren't mWh and kWh (etc.) the standard ways of measuring output from devices such as batteries and power generators?
I am as well. If the "karma" point was Steve's cancer...well, we're all going to die under a spectrum of conditions so I really don't get the point here...
Or, you could adjust for inflation and realize that the alleged big change isn't actually so big. You do realize that the price of every category of product rises over time, right? And that the current model is appreciably more capable and powerful than the one 4 years ago? And that there's a cost to R&D? And that companies exist to make profit? And that lots of people buy Apple products?
So why don't Windoze computers cost as much as Mac gear?
Answer: Apple Tax + trapped customer base with no other OS options = Overpriced Mac gear.
As well as handed a badge that has a tracking device to make sure you do not go wondering off the tour! /s
