I wish this meant a round Apple Watch! Seriously doubt it though. I prefer round watches but understand how it would need to be a lot bigger to have similar usable interface area. Either way I’ll be happy to upgrade my Series 0 which is absolutely limping along at this point.

Uh. Round watch does has its nostalgia going for it. Yet it’s only efficient for the dial face as that doesn’t waste any space. Have a look at the WearOS and other Google or Tizen watches all round, all having lots of water space and horrible UI layout for information. Sure the circular dial around the edge is useful for macro/micro controls for data manipulation in some aspects but his is easily replicated using the Digital Crown.

Rectangular shape of the Apple Watch clearly shows more data and decent space allocation to separate data being displayed. Also allows for better touch controls.

Our opinions vary but nobody yet has shown a great digital watch not wasting so much space with a round face like a traditional watch.

Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ in all black please like SS versions. MBP already purchased and used. iPhone 8 will keep me for a few months. Hoping great deals here in Canada for 2yr contracts that allow providers to buy back devices to reduce monthly costs of device ownership.
 
The only problem is that more people bought the iPhone with the HOME Button and clearly you did not read what I typed.

No I Understood you meant and others seem to agree with my reply to you, but you also use the word “Advertised”, why would I ever ‘Advertise’ something they don’t plan on keeping. That was my point would you seemingly took out of context.
 
MR readers' prayers have been answered! The metal ring is obviously signaling the return of Touch ID!
 
Something rounded is coming...

Of course everyone knows what is the image, but this suggest something. A rounded smartwatch? never says never. They can have both form factor.

IPhone xx: XS, XL, 11 or 8S? For me is obvious that all 3 versions have 2 characters.
 
Round? Clearly it’s an updated hockey puck mouse!

I’d take any shape new iMac ... trying to avoid the order button for a 2017 version!
 
I'm pumped, but I would be happy if they would just skip straight to the "available for preorder on September 14 for $XXX". I don't foresee any big hardware improvements over the X other than the expected 20% or so increase in performance.
 
Perhaps... Apple is unleashing a line of products to compete directly with Amazon Echo/Alexa, and these round products will not only be Siri smart devices that work with smart home products like Nest and ring.com but also will combine Apple TV hardware/services. <boom>
 
Did anyone guess this date?

Everyone guessed this date. It wasn't going to be next week right after labor day weekend, it wasn't going to be on 9-11, and it is never on a Monday (9-10).

I will be in the US by the end of September. I am aware they don’t sell sim-free versions until a few months later but can anyone buy a T-Mobile iPhone or do I need to show some kind of US citizen proof?

I will be in LA, SF and most of the time in Hawaii. Does Hawaii have an apple store too?



Yes cuz preorders supposedly start on the 15th in Germany

If it is in the store, then the store will take your credit card and give you a phone. But T-Mobile stores might not have them in stock. End of September might be too soon to just be able to walk in and buy.
