Apple Event Announced for September 9: 'Awe Dropping'

[Ghengis LeMond]

And, one last thing……and we know you’re going to love it! We can’t wait to see what our users are going to be inspired to do and how it will open new doors to the ways they work, create and accomplish wonderful things. Things we’ve only dreamed of before! …………

…….. Even more than last year, in newer and more indescribable ways, the new iPhone is even MORE ready for Apple Intelligence! We love this and hope you will too!

That looks like a thermal image. A heat map. Maybe excellent thermal management with the vapor chamber?

Possibly, but maybe also the addition of a thermal sensor or something?

 

[dampfnudel]

Maybe they should’ve held back “awe dropping” until next year when we get the official price for the folding iPhone at the 2026 announcement. Maybe “jaw dropping” would be better actually.

 

[Lone Deranger]

Hey, maybe they'll announce storage increases for the free 5GB iCloud tier? You know, the one that hasn't been upgraded since its inception over 14 years ago?
Who am I kidding, we're still under the Tim Cook regime, so nothing groundbreaking, unexpected nor exciting will be announced. If there are any increases it'll be the prices. 🥱

This event is but a shadow of its former self. Further diluted by the tens of thousands of "leaks" that precede this "awe dropping" spectacle, what remains is a demonstration that Apple continues to perfect smoke and mirrors hype. Google events pale in comparison.

 

[Parowdy]

I predict... "This is the most durable iPhone we've ever come out with."

The toughest glass ever in a(n i)phone

Kinda burying the lead in the article, which is in-person events are back!

Tim won’t do in person,..he’s too scared & really not a great public speaker. Every year is just a commercial now,..so boring.🥱

 

[bLackjackj]

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.

It really is. It absolutely surprises me that people are willing to go all the way there, just to watch a video on a screen.

Don’t they also get hands on time with the products as well? For creators like MKBHD, this is essential to pushing out your videos on day 1.

 

[glockenSquish]

Ooo, I bet it’ll be “the fastest Mac ever made!”

 

[Neil J. Squillante]

It really is. It absolutely surprises me that people are willing to go all the way there, just to watch a video on a screen.

There's a hands-on area for those invited so for YouTubers at least it makes sense as they can generate channel revenue by recording a video showing the new iPhones.

 

[Lone Deranger]

I'm sure any jaws that will be dropping will be because of all the yawning. Apple keynotes under Tim Cook have become a snooze fest.

 

[Lioness~]

Only way I awe-drop any money on them this year: None
I'm all good with my Apple stuff right now.

But I'm interested in and if they release a small Flip-phone.
But will wait for 2nd release to avoid the initial problems.
iPad mini 8 - will it have any larger updates, probably not - give it a M-chip, might buy it.

if you dont buy a new iphone the predator (powered by Apple Intelligence) will be sent to your house

 

[Happy_John]

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

I f****ing HATE „best in class”.

That is all.

In awe of how ugly the camera bump will be on pro iphones?

i love my OG SE flush mounted camera!

 

[CocktailHour]

iPhone 17 Pro

 

[ButterF1ngers]

They ought to bring back Steve Jobs Theater - such a waste of money if not!

 

[eifelbube]

…

Really, really clever by Apple not to capitalize ”awe”. Everyone will be taken by complete surprise when they announce the Apple Watch Extreme with a 7-day battery life …

Been wearing my Casio g shock solar watch for years. No battery issues. And no notifications!

 

[jeremz1ne]

Apple is going to release a night vision camera / heat sensor by the look of the logo

 

[Takeo]

Thinnest ever iPhone? For sure. Lightest ever… I highly doubt that. The iPhone 5 was 112 grams.

 

[Hkfan45]

meh. Your hardware is fine, apple. Your software truly lags behind competitors. It's embarrassing. I don't care if it takes every dollar you have - fix it. Beat everyone.

So excited! iPhone 17PM here I come!
