Apple Event Announced for September 9: 'It's Glowtime'

My speculation: iPhones will finally ditch lithium-ion batteries for plutonium-uranium ones. Time to stop inhumane lithium mining conditions!

It’s Glowtime😜

And the new generation of Watch comes with the new Geiger counter sensor to help new iPhone buyers know when they need to put some distance/time between themselves and iPhone... making Watch an absolutely essential add-on purchase with each new iPhone sold... increasing transactional cost dramatically. Genius! 💰💰💰

Next year, Geiger PRO (only available in the newer iPhone and newer Watch) will require so much data processing, we will need the all-new M5 Macs with the new Radiate MAX cores to convert the data into actionable information. Again, Geniu$$$. 💰💰💰

And forget Apple Cloth for "only" $20. Everyone is going to desperately want the new Apple Hair. You can't be a cool kid without Apple Hair. Only $199 in 5 colors. Pre-order now. 💰💰💰

All ;)

Prepare for a slew of pre-recorded videos, highlight the "more evolutionary than revolutionary" next iPhone.
Click to expand...
To be fair evolutionary over revolutionary is how companies stay relevant and sell products. If it was revolutionary every year then it would cease to be revolutionary anyway. Whilst I’m sure Apple would love everyone to be on a yearly update cycle the fact that you can buy a watch or phone and not have it outdated in a year draws a lot of people to the brand. I agree there could be a bit more, but ultimately this is a smart strategy and what makes Apple products sell so well.

I’m more interested in iOS18 than I am iPhone 16 - but that should be expected for anyone running an iPhone 14 or 15 (I’m using a 15PM). New cameras aren’t going to be enough to get me to upgrade, nor will added battery life, as I always get through a day and half to two days of use. It will make me mad if Apple makes AI features 16 Pro specific, but it won’t be enough to get me to upgrade. I also have the M4 iPad Pro 13”, so I expect any advance AI features will be available for the M4 iPP’s.

It's go time!

My theory:

September 9, 2024 = 9/9/2024

Add all numbers: 9+9+2+0+2+4=26

On that day at 10am, the moon is at 35% illumination

35% of 26 is 9.1

On that day at 10am, the moon is 247,456 miles away from the Earth

247,456+9.1=247,465.1

Now let's decipher each digit to the left of the decimal point in 247,465.1

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

Eddy Cue's favorite number is 12
4+12=16
Sixteenth letter is p

Craig Federighi's favorite number is 1
7+1=8
Eighth letter is h

John Ternus's favorite number is 11
4+11=15
Fifteenth letter is o

Jeff Williams's favorite number is 8
6+8=14
Fourteenth letter is n

Phil Schiller refused to say, therefore
5 remains 5
Fifth letter is e

Put all letters together, we get iPhone

On that day by 10am, the moon will have entered the sixteenth lunar mansion

iPhone 16 is confirmed!

Every inch counts: 6.69 to 6.9. Even a small difference can make a significant impact.

Similarly, a staggering number of people seemed to think it wasn’t possible for humans to detect the weight difference between the 14 Pro & 15 Pro. Turns out, almost every human could - and did - upon holding a 15 Pro for the first time. I’m used to it now, but for months, it was THE aspect I talked most about, when asked about the device. The difference was significant.

I think millimeters difference in screen will prove similarly noticeable. We’ll know, for sure, in a few weeks.

I honestly don't know how some people can afford to keep buying the latest Apple tech...on top of all other costs of living. Alright for some, I guess.
Click to expand...

Apart from those with private wealth or massive salaries, most of those who can afford it are probably those who learned a long time ago that it's not worth doing. I can afford to upgrade every year, but take pleasure in not doing so. Of course if I feel my phone is tired or there is a new killer feature, then I'll buy it.

IM READY! If they are emphasizing glow, does that mean a glowing Apple Logo? Or maybe it has something to do with the watch?
Click to expand...

No, it'll be the glowing Siri animation when you ask it stuff. I hear that now Siri is AI powered it can actually tell you both the day of the week and also the time with around 60% accuracy.

Some wish lists for me and hopeful for:

- Apple Ring w/ Siri. Can be used as a remote to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV with finger/hand gestures.
- Apple Watch Ultra 3 (Space Black option and 53mm size by shrinking bezels). Improved battery life by 30-40%.
- Mac Mini M4 16GB/512 base option at $599.
- Eliminate A Pro series chips for M-series chips in iPhone Pro series rather than A18 Pro.

They've been doing Tuesday events for what seems like forever.

A departure for sure. I always assumed Tuesdays were used to give media a non-weekend travel day. At any rate, better for us!

It's because of the American Political Debate! Easy!
