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

[volcomvenom]

“You thought you were here for iPhones? Sorry—here’s a 2013 Mac Pro trash can in Rose Gold! Enjoy!”

I lol'ed by that comment, thank you for that.

 

[eoblaed]

Gather round, round Apple Watch confirmed.

Yeah right!

Nope. Round iPhones!

 

[MacsRuleOthersDrool]

Gather round, round Apple Watch confirmed.

Yeah right!

The "Round" refers to the "Spaceship", nothing more.

 

[UnfetteredMind]

It looks copper to me (not gold). Perhaps a reference to the rumored copper wireless charging coil?

 

[draumkved]

What about iMacs? I'm waiting for new non-pro iMacs.

 

[volcomvenom]

Anyone have a feeling on when they’d launch a sim free iPhone X plus in US?

I am guessing Oct. 31st.

 

[Dave245]

I have my iPhone X from last year and I’m more than happy with it, I hope they announce Series 4 Apple Watch, I need to upgrade from the very first Apple Watch, iPad Pro’s and the new MacBook Air.

My MacBook Pro 2011 died yesterday (pink lines going across the screen then sticks on a white background before restarting itself again) I really hope they announce the new retina Air so I can make a decision between the new Air, 12” MacBook and the 13” MacBook Pro.

 

[eoblaed]

Apple is finally releasing a rotary phone!

 

[MacsRuleOthersDrool]

Remember when we were waiting with anticipation? Now it's just boring
with a boring leader taking the stage.

Speak for yourself. I, for one, am somewhat excited.

And, at least the "boring leader" knows enough to hand-off the majority of the Keynotes to more "vibrant" presenters. Give him credit for knowing his limitations...

 

[DocMultimedia]

Black and Gold HomePod. Can't wait!!!!!!

 

[zombierunner]

Home park? touch id? home pod? rings?

 

[eoblaed]

Unfortunate you feel that way.

I'm pumped.

1. Shape is to honor the new campus.
2. Color is a new option for the new iOS devices.
3. The tag line is to indicate better interoperation between devices, iOS,tvOS, WatchOS and MacOS.

[zla]

That gold ring.. probably has a red eye in the middle HAL-9000 confirmed.

 

[mac4good84]

Are you guys ready for the Apple Frisbee?

 

[Belly-laughs]

Getting fired for something like that?
Time to look for a new job bud

Could be a strict Windows-only environment.

 

[zla]

So the new Apple park building is a giant camera lens. Hmmmm.

Or it's turning earth into that deathstar planet from the new starwars movies.

 

[zombierunner]

It's Saturn's rings, obv.

unmistakably

 

[UOThief]

1) I hope the new iPad's facial recognition works both in landscape and portrait mode. I use my iPad almost exclusively in landscape mode.

2) No news about AirPower? (wireless, multi-device charger for iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods) edit: I read the entire article and somehow missed those 2 lines referencing AirPower at the end. Selective reading strikes again. Oops.

 

[ChrisMoBro]

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.

 

[nvmls]

Apple logo changing to round orange confirmed.

 

[MacsRuleOthersDrool]

'And another thing. Remember that great laptop that had all the useful ports, Magsafe, great keyboard but the screen was lacking a bit? Well we have fixed that for you. It's now a retina display. We have also removed those pesky ports and Magsafe so we could shave 4 grams off the total weight. Don't worry, we have all the dongles anyone could want in our stores. Oh, the good news? It's only $1199! (Applause screen flashes)'.

Sorry; but the USB-C/TB3 MacBook Pros have, hands-down, the MOST I/O Expandability of ANY laptop on the planet!

And most of the "Dongles" (more correctly, Docks and Adapters) that people use are NOT made by Apple. Check out Amazon some time. You'll be amazed! And even the MagSafe issue (which I agree with you about) has been dealt with by SEVERAL different third-party USB-C magnetic "breakaway" cables, some even as cheap as $10(!!!)

This article actually mentions that new watch bands are likely to be introduced.

Pathetic.
