Interesting choice of venue and I'm happy that an event is scheduled in EST instead of PST this time--I don't have to wait as long.
or a modular mac?Sliced Apple indicates better internal cooling for iMac.

The SE is dead at least for now. There is less than a 0% chance it makes an appearance at this event. Buy the Xr if you are in the market for a phone and the Xr is your second option after an XseI was expecting AAPL to announce the Single Lens Version of the iPhone XS today (i.e., the Next-Gen High-End iPhone XSE), but this pops-up instead ... so now, it's either take a chance on ordering an XR tonight after midnight, OR hold-off till the 30th, & see if the iPhone XSE gets announced then.
I think AAPL wanted to announce the iPhone XSE today, but it wasn't fully planned, & ONLY started to gain momentum AFTER it become obvious that sales of the 5.8" iPhone XS weren't doing so well.
An XSE with 4 GB of DRAM & priced @ $899 would sell well, so I'm NOT sure why we've NOT heard much about it via the rumor mill.
And, it would be priced as low as the 256 GB XR, $37.45/month, vs $31.20/month for the $749 64 GB XR.
Common sense says they should have offered this along with the others.
First apple event in a while that i've been excited for.
I cannot wait for October 2020 event so I can finally see the AirPower being announced for the confirmed released date. I have been holding off my wireless charger till now.. sigh...
This is a crucial keynote for Apple. It will show us their direction for next few years. If there is nothing interesting (nice tech for a reasonable price), I will have to get out of the ecosystem.
Thank goodness. The whiners in these forums will give it a break until Oct 30 11:01am (1 min after the event ends)
Why not? They can do whatever they want. They have the $$$I wonder why this is in NYC and not at Apple HQ like all other events.
Redesigned iMac!

Come on Apple! Honor it's 20th year anniversary!
Looking at those illustrations... it's obvious they will talk a lot about iPad.
But... I got this idea few weeks / months ago: There was a rumor that the new Mac Mini will be focused on power users / developers. That suggest that it might not be just an underpowered device. What if the new Mac Pro and Mac Mini will be fused into a single modular product. I know it might sound silly but imagine a Mac Mini that you can upgrade will Apple branded modules (to turn it into Mac Pro). Because I don't think that Apple will give up their idea to control everything, so I doubt the future Mac Pro will be upgradable as the old one (2010-2011) just using "classic" computer components.
I know, I'm a dreamer.
MacBook Air gets “updated” (what they mean by “update”: remove MagSafe, remove standard ports, and make it boot at opening the lid or pressing any key).
You know, when Apple literally has machines that haven't been touched in 4 years, it's really not fair to call people whiners. There are certain expectations about tech products that Apple has been neglecting in regard to their computers. It's not whining.

You must be new here if you think it's just the Mini they complain about...how about the complaints 1 min after a new CPU is put into a Macbook Pro retina? etc. etc.
Apple today sent out media invites for a second major 2018 event set to be held in New York City on Tuesday, October 30 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Howard Gilman Opera House.
Apple's October event, which will focus on products not introduced at the iPhone-centric event in September, will kick off at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Apple sent out multiple different Apple logo designs on the invitations that it sent out to members of the media, all of which feature the tagline "There's more in the making."
We're still awaiting multiple product refreshes before the end of 2018, including updates to several Mac models and the iPad Pro, which are likely to see a debut at the event.
2018 iPad Pro models are expected to adopt an iPhone X-style design with no Home button, slimmer bezels, and a TrueDepth camera system that will enable Face ID for biometric authentication.![]()

Along with new iPad Pro models, we're also expecting refreshes to the MacBook line. Refreshed 12-inch MacBooks are said to be in the works, and based on rumors, Apple has developed a low-cost notebook with a Retina display that could be positioned as an updated MacBook Air.![]()

The Mac mini, which has not been updated for more than 1,400 days, is expected to be refreshed for the first time since 2014. We don't know a lot about what to expect for the Mac mini update, but upgraded internals and faster processors are a sure thing.
It's possible that at this iPad and Mac-focused event, we'll also hear more about the modular Mac Pro that Apple is working on for a 2019 debut.
Apple's 2018 iPhone keynote event will begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Apple typically streams the event live on its website and on Apple TV, but for those who are unable to watch, MacRumors will be providing full event coverage both on MacRumors.com and through our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.
