Apple Invites Media to October 16 Event: 'It's Been Way Too Long'

I tell you what...I'm going to be severely depressed if this doesn't pan out. :confused::apple: I *may* upgrade to the iMac but I really don't want to. I want a mini. :(
 
My Prediction: Apple is changing the set-top cable box and the way we will get/view our content. Steve Jobs said "I've cracked the code". Tim Cook also said in an interview, the cable box interface and the way the family gathers around the TV is like something from the 70's.

Just my 2 pennies
 
It has been way too long since people were able to use their stylus. It looks like a brush on paper.

Since Apple is playing catch-up with Samsung (phablets), perhaps it is time to introduce an s-pen to the Apple line, sort of like the Samsung Note series.

But I really would like a stylus... just makes since for taking notes and making drawings... finger painting was fun when I was 6yo, but since than, I used a pen to write with.

Before you all flame me, I have 3 iPads, 1 iPhone, 2 MBA, and no Samsungs...

EDIT: darn it, someone beat me to it.

Hmm, doesn't the leaf look a bit like the tip of a pen? .

Yeah, maybe they will have Gorilla glass crystal on the Apple Watch, and can release them ahead of schedule instead of waiting for the no show Saphire?


Or another possibility is a logo refresh?

I'm still curious about the tagline
 
I have a great record of picking these things and I say it's the iMac chin that has been far too long for far too long. Time for a shave.
 
What's with all the stylus suggestions? Didn't Steve say that we already have 10 styluses on our very hands?
 
A new Macbook Air with retina display would be very good, i've been looking to upgrade from my 2011 Macbook pro but i'm holding out for a retina display and hopefully a higher flash storage (maybe a 1TB) to store all my iTunes content.

Depending on what they do with the iPad's i may upgrade from my iPad 3 if it's worth the upgrade.

The issue with the stylus is where to store it, as the iOS devices don't have a slot for it. I can see Apple announcing improved stylus support, but I don't see them releasing their own stylus.

Yup, the little non-AIO desktop powerhouse the rest of us can afford….. whisper-quiet eye candy with a plethora of connectivity options along with the introduction of gorgeous new monitors of course….. here's hoping…..

Yep. I'd like to replace my 2010 iMac with a new, and improved, Mac mini.

Tim has been saying this for the last several years and nothing has materialized in the TV space and all rumors point toward a delay in Apple's TV plans.

I would love one, but the fact they just had a major update to the software and this signals nothing else is coming this year.

To quote Steve, "the TV is always going to lose because there's no go to market strategy."

As for the stylus: it is very necessary if Apple wants to puncture deeper into creative space and education. Having an iPad in the 12"-13" range would be perfect for schools, have great battery life, but it also would need handwriting for math and others notes. Steve wasn't wrong in that a stylus to use basic functions of the device is a non starter, however a stylus on a larger tablet for these purposes makes complete sense.
 
Updated apple tv please!!!

Definitely OSX Yosemite release, Im looking for a new Apple TV, but not getting my hopes too high.

How would a larger iPad be better for pupils? It would be more cumbersome to handle, for one.
 
Could it be an update on iPod range with IWatch OS? Since an update to iPod have been way too long. Colors have all the while be linked iPod.
