Maybe it is about the iMac, it has looked the same for years now,maybe time for a significant revamp in how it looks.

couldnt agree with you more... Take a look at the ammount of leaks from the iPhone and iPad, yet zero from the iWatch and Macs... Also, that's why knockoff company's make what the leaks are a about a month before the real iphone comes out.
It better be compatible with my '13 Mac Pro. I didn't shell out $6k+ on a system with dual FirePro D700's for 4k display support to find out that Apple skips 4k for 5k and the latest DP my Mac won't support.
I just noticed that it looked like a finger on a wavy surface and skimmed the comments to see if someone caught it. It reminded me of a patent Apple filed years back regarding tactile feedback touch screens (the display could physically change surface form depending on the program in use). Another patent filed this year explores pressure sensitivity using a combination of capacitive touch and infrared light sensing.
I wonder if Apple has devices using any of these concepts under wraps.

yes it is, actually
"OMG I FIGURED IT OUT
It's been way too long since we took your money"
My last major Apple purchase was this 2009 Mini. They haven't had anything that interested me since. I don't care for an iPhone, or an iPad, and I already have an iPod. Mac Pro is overpriced, and I don't like the the iMac's screens.
And since it is my money, I'm sitting on it. However, the mini is showing it's age, so I could be persuaded to part with some green paper rectangles.
But if they neuter the new mini the same way they did with the new low-end Macbook, I'm out of Apple land. I can get a nice Dell Optiplex with Windows 7 instead. The small format desktops at work are actually quite nice.
We'll see what happens next week.

theorys:
my theorys about this
1. too long since the IMAC was called Macintosh (I.e dropping the I)
2. too long since the IPOD line was updated ( new ipods including the classic)
3. too long since we thought different ' hinted at the iphone 6 event ( return to think different and coloured logo)
4. too long since steve's death?

I'd love to see a thinner iPad mini. I am seriously thinking of using it as my regular phone (using FaceTime audio and Skype).
Think about it: The current iPad mini still fits in my pocket, has a bigger screen than the 6+, and is $10/m data access vs $40/m.

The iPod classic is dead. It just is. I wouldn't be shocked at a 256GB iPod touch in a new line that replicates the size of the iPhone 6. Then Apple satisfies the high capacity crowd without needing to use such an outdated product.
A neat little surprise would be to see the iPod nano revert to the square shape that people used as a watch with some customization. Use the Apple Watch OS, install just the fitness trackers that your $99 competitors like Fitbit use and make it an iPod/budget fitness device. I'm guessing this would've been announced with Apple Watch had it been real, but it's a neat idea.
New Apple TV I would assume.
I would love to see a new iPod classic though.
Uh, why would you want a shorter power cord? If anything some of my Macs don't have a long enough power cord.
