Apple Homepage Now Redirecting to Event Countdown Ahead of Tomorrow's Announcements

The Night before the Keynote

'Twas the night before Keynote,
when in Cook's house,
Not an iMac was stirring,
Not even a Magic Mouse;

His jeans were placed on his dresser with care,
With thoughts that "a whole lot more" would soon be there;

Jony and Craig were snuggled up in their beds,
While visions of wearables danced in their heads;

But Tim could not sleep, no he couldn't rest,
For tomorrow he would unveil Apple's very best,
Then from his iPhone there arose such a clatter,
Tim ran to his dock to see what was the matter;

He intuitively slid to unlock with a flash,
Thinking as he did Samsung still owes Apple cash,
His dimly lit screen emitted a glow,
That illuminated his shrine of Steve Jobs below;

When what to Tim's wondering eyes should appear,
An iMessage from Phil Schiller that read 'Oh Dear!',
Tim's heart skipped a beat as he read on,
"Tim after today all our critics will be gone."

My genitals are super ready.

 

[Caliber26]

As I noted before, and I will say it again...

My genitals are ready

Picture - or it didn't happen.

New menu bar too

Looks like they finally updated their menu bar on the desktop version of their website to have a more flat look. Also added blue lines separating each navigation option. The lines to me look like the lines on the iPhone 6. Perhaps we'll be able to choose the color of our iPhone 6 lines.

 

[KUPARA]

It's after a normal day's work, and I can watch this live with a couple of beers and pizzas with friends!

Just 22 hours left...

You have FRIENDS?

The future of the iPod

Am I the only one who thinks the "iwatch" will in fact be the new generation "iPod". The iPod makes up 1 percent of their revenue. What will they do when it drops below 1 percent in a few years? Kill off the iPod line? They have to evolve that product line some how. Turn it in to a wearable. I think this is the answer. iPod. iPhone. iPad. No more, no less. No fourth category of device.

My wishlist:
iPhone 6 with 4" screen that's not a low-end model.
An iWatch that I'd actually consider wearing.
iPad mini that's thinner and lighter.

I have a feeling I'm going to be very disappointed tomorrow.

No offense but as someone that is tired of the tiny screen, I hope that a the only 4" iPhone offered after tomorrow is the 5S.

Still no word on an AppleTV channel... :/

The website says streaming would require a 2nd gen ATV with 6.2 or later but still no channel... hope it's coming soon...

 

[swingerofbirch]

For some reason I have a feeling they're finally going to update the Apple site in terms of its navigation bar at the top. They're going to be adding a new product category. Seems like a good time to change the design. Will iPod live another day in the navigation bar?

Yeah, I've made this case before. I thought that's what they were going to do with the iPad (iPod slate) and was wrong. But this would make even more sense as the wearable is very portable, which was what was revolutionary about the iPod.

Motog.. He has a point... Dont brush it off like it is nonsense.
Apple biggest growth will come from people who dont use apple products yet.. and apple is choosing to leave them out of the live presentation.
Definitely does not compute... But then again who knows what their thinking behind this is ! .??

Come on, do you really thing that the people who never bought Apple before are the ones who will slog through this kind of presentation... Are you serious? This is for the hard core fans and the media.

The rest of people will hear the buzz escaping wildly through the grapevine through the media, social and traditional.

 

[richwoodrocket]

The excitement is killing me.

It appears to only be happening on my Internet Explorer, Windows 8, Late 2013 Retina MacbookPro, Bootcamp. Here is comparison screenshot with Chrome and IE on that set up. Probably just glitch with IE

Logo not flat

For Apple to redirect their home page to the live event page is astounding to me.

It seems as though tomorrow is the equivalent of Apple sliding all of their chips to the middle of the table and saying, "all in". At this point, I fully expect to be blown away tomorrow.

For a normally slow and steady company to be ratcheting up the hype like this, it must be a big deal. Either that or tomorrow will be the biggest letdown in the Apple world in years.

That's exactly how I see it too. Either tomorrow we will lose faith in Apple entirely or have everything reestablished after the death of Jobs. Sorry if it sounds cultish, but I believe it to true.

I'm a huge Apple fanboy, but I'm afriad they're overhyping this thing. Unless they come out with something so earth-shattering, none of us even suspected it.

The earth shattering thing is a U2 performance and U2 album art as the default wallpaper

Tnx to the pizzas and beers...

 

[DerekAndonian]

Apple is making a really big deal about the amount of TIME that's left until their event- iWatch confirmed....

 

[sem07]

Now, I also can See a watch. Can't wait.

What ”Wish we could say more” REALLY means

What ”Wish we could say more” REALLY means

I´m totally amazed that no one have pointed this out but its obvious when you think about it.

Back in the days when Steve Jobs where alive we all know he was famous for the
term ”There is one more thing” . One more thing became the trade mark for Apple Keynote and an introduction of something special .. Something new. Something better …

Now that dear Steve is gone there is no one there at the Keynote to say ”one more thing”

Thats why the Keynote is label "Wish we could say more” .. To honor Steve because I bet he have been a part of the early making and birth of the product we are about to see and Because everyone at Apple wish Steve Jobs where there and he could say ..

There is one more thing ..

Apple has been showing off in the last few years with their secrets. The Mac Pro and Swift came out of no where. Maybe they have something up their sleeve this time?!?

Well yeh . at Apple the "There is one more thing" part of Steves Keynote speech have been known as just "say more" part ... so its clear that Wish we could say more his to honor steve that they wish he where there and for Apple behalf he could do the say more part ... ergo .. Wish we could say more ...

 

[waitforitben]

No longer doing the redirect

Apple's homepage is no longer redirecting to the countdown... maybe because its within 12 hours??

 

[ErikGrim]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was the last time Apple used a countdown to an event on their homepage for the iPod event?
