Apple Event Announced for September 9: 'Awe Dropping'

[thebeans]

How is the aluminum frame of the new iPhone pro ”more durable” than the titanium in the current iPhone pro, given that in general aluminum is LESS durable ?

There’s more of it. The camera bump area is Al

Unfortunately a studio display is an spring 2026 thing , probably

Indeed, just wish it were the other way around!

I've never heard of the phrase "awe dropping" until now.

 

[iMac The Knife]

"Awe dropping"? I can't...I just can't! 😂

My theory:

September 9, 2025 = 9/9/2025

Add all numbers: 9+9+2+0+2+5=27

That day, the moon will be at 95% illumination: 95% of 27 is 25.65

Earth to Moon distance will be 227,014 miles: 227,014 + 25.65 = 227,039.65

Now let's decipher each digit in 227,039:

Tim Cook's favorite number is 7
2+7=9
The ninth letter in the alphabet is i

Greg Woswiak’s favorite number is 14
2+14=16
Sixteenth letter is p

Johny Srouji’s favorite number is 1
7+1=8
Eighth letter is h

Lisa Jackson’s favorite number is 15
0+15=15
Fifteenth letter is o

Katherine Adams’s favorite number is 11
3+11=14
Fourteenth letter is n

Phil Schiller doesn’t have a favorite number, but his least favorite number is 4
9-4=5
Fifth letter is e

Put all letters together, we get iPhone

That day, the moon will enter the 2nd lunar mansion precisely at 8:52am.
Add all numbers together: 2+8+5+2=17

iPhone 17 is confirmed!

I guess you’re a swiftie!

 

[johnrlaporta]

The cameras are better.
Their commitment to improving the world is better.
They think we'll love it.
Yawn dropping indeed.

Yes. It will be:

A Phone.
With a camera.
Also a touch screen.

It will do the same thing they have done for almost twenty years.

Amazing innovation.

Very excited for the event. Cannot wait to see the new 17 Pro Max. Hopefully the Pro model will get that beautiful orange color. Also waiting to see what else Apple will announce at the event besides the watches.

 

[iMac The Knife]

I'd prefer "Bra dropping", but that's me. I remember a time when Apple would've supported this type of event. I kid, I kid, sort of.

Flame Roasted Apple!! 🍏🤔

It’s an infrared shot of the iPhone’s logo when Siri is trying to be smarter

 

[joaoxvuivakh1]

What do we think the colours mean? I'm thinking maybe the new rumoured colours (orange and blue) but idk

I think that's right

There is dark blue and orange (17 pro) and light blue (17 air), which are the rumoured new colors this year

iPhone Awe?

Say it ain’t so.

 

[hch720]

Nope. They invite press to watch the pre-recorded video on a screen at Apple, and then go to a hands on area. It's beyond pathetic.

Pre recorded is better

 

[bobtamboo]

Good morning!

 

[iMac The Knife]

No more pre recorded awkwardness? That’s a definite positive. The iPhone? Yawn.

Right, now we are back to live awkwardness on full display. Brutal.

 

[Kiwamu]

I do hope for a ONE MORE THING in terms of the A18Pro powered MacBook, but I also know, this is a stretch.

The iPhones that use titanium are nearly entirely aluminum. They only have a titanium facade. See the cross-section here:

I already dropped my awe years ago. Good to see that Apple is joining in.

 

[winxmac]

Pre recorded (and edited) announcements were a covid thing.

They need to get back to live events for nothing more than a live audiences reactions to the announced products.

Steve was a master at this.

******* rollercoaster, we ride!

I don't see anyone other than Craig that can match Steve Jobs during a live in person keynote.

 

[Rogue AI]

First time in years I won’t be preordering a new iPhone. I went to a Z Fold 7 and I’m not looking back.

 

[hovscorpion12]

Good morning!

I was about to say. It gives off predator, infrared vibes.

 

[gaanee]

Will it be iPhone 26 to go along with iOS 26. It would nice if they synchronize iPhone and iOS numberings.

 

[vegetassj4]

Are they finally admitting their products no longer inspire veneration and wonder?

Apple has dropped the awe from their products.

I’ll take my notebook and count the words: "new," "incredible," and "beautiful" and also "amazing," "best," "great," and "exciting"

 

[mhilferty108]

I've definitely seen my iPhone screen fail with this exact color deterioration.

 

[goonie4life9]

I’ll take my notebook and count the words: "new," "incredible," and "beautiful"

Don't forget their new buzz phrases: "a whole new level/next level," "game changer/changing," "best in class," "truly X," etc.
