If cowardly 'yellow' pennants and a scad of shiftless, druggie SF bums sleeping in the grass is 'amazing' you have a 'be different' view that the late Mr. Jobs used.
Speaking of 'Steve'..I kinda think he would fired 80 percent of the vapid presenters who now mount the stage to peddle the 'same same' products he first introduced.

That's known in much of San Francisco as 'home'.
I'm sure security will have the bums and other unwashed cleared out before the event starts on Wednesday. If those that live in the city were not so sympathetic, there would not be this problem.
Yes. Invited guests who are given first hands-on looks at brand new products and treated to a live keynote and performance will surely be throwing fruit at the company that every single year produce the highest quality smartphone on the market....
Maybe Siri is finally going to understand Scottish?
They are getting to work for the event. Typical configuration for a roadie unload. Curious to see what crew they have working this. Bill Graham management tends to be very particular on who works their stage.

Had day or so pub crawling around Inverness where I needed and Scottish to English translator. Oddly, the more I drank, the more understandable the local accent. Same thing in Alice Springs down under years ago.
Seriously? It's a product announcement. Do you think everyone takes this stuff that seriously? It's a freakin' phone. It will have enhanced functionality, better specs, etc. Changes in the smartphone are incremental at this stage. Did the Samsung Galaxy 7 et al, change the world; solve world hunger; cure cancer? Admittedly the Note 7 was an incendiary and explosive addition to the industry.
If they remove the headphone jack, the iPhone 7 can be thinner. Thin enough to slice fruit! Forget virtual Fruit Ninja!
Big misunderstanding, they are selling Apple products not actual Apples.
In for a white iPhone 7 128GB (unless they keep 64GB around) and an SS AW2.
Definitely taking a long lunch break to watch this hehe
Also interested in seeing how their supposed AirPods (or whatever Beats refreshes with) competes with my Jaybird Bluebuds X earphones.

If a product launch sucks, it is the typically Hollywood passive insult that has some backhanded complements without up front criticism. The real brow beating is reserved for the mass media outlets.
If it sucks, you get responses like, "Congratulations on completing the production.", "How was it on set?" and "You had a lot of talent to work with here." Then there is the biggest passive slam, no comment about the release but they say, "Look forward to seeing you next project after this release."
Maybe a bit off topic, but does anyone know when the iOS 10, watchOS 3 and tvOS 10 would go live?
Maybe a best guess of the date? I'd appreciate it.
Also, Mac OS Sierra will go live only a month after right?

That actually works.New: exchangeable bezels matching your Apple Watch armband.
I just hope someone with balls boos when they announce how they removed the headphone jack.
I hope they explain their reasoning in an obvious enough way that it is clear why the pros outweigh the cons for most people.
This will be the biggest spin of the launch. Removing a hardware feature that has been in consumer electronics for almost 40 years is a big ball to pitch. I'm sure the usual "old technology" rhetoric will be used with an immediately replacement for the loss.
On a lighter note, was told that the Steve Jobs house that was never built was going to have very minimal 110 VAC power outlets reaching for a new level of minimalism.
Wasn't Billy Graham a conservative evangelical Christian who endorsed both Richard Nixon and Mitt Romney, but opposed John F Kennedy? Hmmmm? I guess there are times when politics take a back seat even at the ultra politically correct Apple.
One thing I'm really looking at closely is who, what order and how much stage time each of the Apple execs get at this launch. That has been a harbinger to upper management actions in the past.

Steve Jobs always said never to mix politics with business. If your business plan gets political, you reduce your market share by half no matter which way you go.
Tim keeping Hillary bashing apps out of the App Store is a total dick move that will haunt them for a long time.
Are those people OK?
Not the same person. However, rushing to hasty assumptions IS required on this forum, so you may proceed
