Apple Invites Media to September 12 Event at Apple Park: 'Gather Round'

[CPPMaster]

I'd love to see what the invite-analysers will make of this

Means , "we are going to go around in circles over and over trying to understand why another round of almost the same thing again, and "this is the best iPhone as ever made""

Jokes aside, that refers to the format of the new Apple Campus, is already is other blogs about the meaning.

Apple is finally releasing a rotary phone!

There you go!

I hope they play Windmills of Your Mind before the presentation!

Lol, the invite image is simply the Apple Park's structure.
People trying to find their own meanings when there's none.

OR....what if the new mini uses the same basic concept (smaller, natch) as taught by the MacPro Trashcan, remembering that the expandability of a mini is not so much of a requirement as was the Trasher. Or the same basic design with, perhaps 1 - 4 plug-in / drop-in cores for expandability?

Looks like a home button. A bit ironic because this will be the death of the home button.

Yeah- I think the poster (black background) looks like it is in memoriam for the Home button, good bye to Home Buttons for new iPads no more home buttons for all iPhones

This might be it, actually. Home button ending its venerable journey.

(Haven't missed it on my X at all, btw)

Today I woke up thinking, hey it's almost september already and Apple has not sent the invites. Just in time.

Round notch confirmed.

“Gather round all you clowns”

You have got to hide your love away by the Beatles

Such a pretty invitation-I’m looking forward to an updated iMac.

The circle is about how they now say bye to the home button thats been since the first iphone..

 

[BaltimoreMediaBlog]

Why would Apple advertise the home button when Face ID is their future?

The only problem is that more people bought the iPhone with the HOME Button and clearly you did not read what I typed. Is English a second language? You missed the key word NO.

Remember when Apple used to tease cool new features of the latest iPhone in the invites? Now the new products are such tiny updates they now just put the damn building on the invites. Such a boring company.

So sad that Apple users do not expect that much anymore. They get happy when they bump the speed of a processor and do minor internal upgrades and Animojis...

True Innovation has been dead for quite a while. Look at the iMac deisgn, not upgraded in 10 years. Mac Pro same thing,

OK. The gather round invite must be referring to the new apple watch with a round case! you heard it first (and last) here!

No, I don't think so. It refers to the new Apple Park building and the Steve Jobs theater.

Looking forward to upgrading to the new iPad Pro! Can't wait!

I can see a gold HomePod!

 

[BlueMoon63]

First thing I thought when seeing this was a fingerprint reader.

 

[GadgetBen]

MacBook Air 2 here we come

half life 3 confirmed

This may have already been said in one of the previous 250+ comments, but that round shape in the invite makes me wonder if we're actually looking at the new health-related sensors on the underside of the Apple Watch. Total speculation (obviously), but imagine the gold ring is the new health sensor and the black "doughnut hole" in the middle is the existing heart rate sensor just blacked out to make the tease more abstract.

 

[MrJM]

It's Saturn's rings, obv.

iPhone with built in Sega Saturn?

 

[shplock]

I believe we would have had more notice to resolve the UI for our watch apps -- I agree with you.

Not necessarily because Apple gave no advanced warning when they introduced large screen iPhones with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.
Developers then has to adapt once they were released.

To gather forever...

Picture shows the New Mac Pro with passive cooling.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

That's the Microsoft Cortana symbol. Apple is scrapping Siri.

Round = apple campus
Round = round watch
Round = round corner of new iPads and phones

Please new iPad mini, so cool for my dji drone....

Or a mini mac pro
