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

Time to overanalyse the image and look for the hidden meaning

Apple is getting into records (FINALLY!!!)

 

[groove-agent]

You'd think an invite named "Gather Round" would allude to the series 4 being available in a round chassis. Using "Gather Round" to simply indicate the new complications are displayed in a circular fashion seems odd.

All I want is a Mac mini with usb a and SD slots...and a fusion drive option .

And can they make Apple watch compatible with Android for the first time?

 

[groove-agent]

I'm thinking the image is just saying how this is the first iPhone event at the new campus. Can't imagine what else round has to do with anything.

The more I think about it, the more I agree that it's just the campus. Given the leaked picture of the square Series 4, I doubt there will be round Apple Watches (although I would love to see the option for one).

I hope it's not a round apple apple watch but that's just my opinion. Square smart watches just work so much better and again just my opinion.

It's the watch crown. That's what the circle is.

 

[Hater]

They've gone full circle, all new iPhones will be 3.5".

Se & 6S will die; certain nations may have it in stock as part of government policy for Apple retail store. 7 will be the low end. Those on last year appleCare+ with the 7 may get an 8 as replacement.

Don’t mind if 6S goes, makes total sense. SE, on the contrary, is a neat compact iPhone and would be a pity to lose, IMO.

Urgh, there's not gonna be any new iPads is there.

 

[axlpicanha]

Looks like a condom ad

 

[Brazzan]

Round would be purely aesthetic and would require developers to spend more time on watch apps that are already sorely lacking.

Apple sacrificing utility for aesthetics? Inconceivable.

 

[iLLUMI]

in before someone suggests "gather round" means round apple watches
...
(it'll never happen)

Round iPad then? lol
Round Mac Mini?
Round Mac Book?

Looks like the new crown on the apple watch series 4.

 

[oldhifi]

New Mac Mini?

 

[Falhófnir]

Touch ID under the display.

I would probably jump in with both feet if they did offer the option, unfortunately I don’t see it, just yet anyway...

 

[Release]

What I'd like to see with the "Gather Round" theme is a round stage with everything they're going to be talking about already set up and visible and they go around and talk about each one. Get it all out in the open. BOOM! THIS is what we've been up to. They gotta start mixing up these keynotes a bit, they're becoming stale. Do something completely different. Bring the excitement back instead of us just going.... "I have no interest in the Watch, what else is there?!" I like the idea of seeing something on stage and the anticipation of.... "it's coming up next!!"

“You know ... for kids.”

I can't believe anyone is still trying to figure out what the image is. It's Apple's graphic for Apple Park.

Or Apple’s latest product:

God I love that movie!

 

[Krayzkat]

It’s obvious that the ‘gather round’ refers to the legend of King Arthur and the round table.

The new campus is probably a giant modern round table.

New iPhone to be called iPhone Xcaliber

Round = Rings (Watch Series 4)

That's the last time the Mac Mini was updated.
