To me it looks like a tongue licking a phone.... or, if you just look at the red, it looks like sorbet....
Don't count your chickens yet. Remember the AirPod experience from just last year. iPhone X may be announced but not really available, except in very small quantities, for a while. Or not. Who knows?
Yeah totally agree with you, if you look with more attention you can see even a middle finger
I think the stage should rotate and at the end have a water show with fountains and multi-colored lights. Anything less and I'll be disappointed.
There better be at least 20 fountains, and then raining coming from the roof... If not, I'm going to write a complaint to Apple and ask for a free phone.
I think if by the first keynote of 2018 they don't mention the mini then it's dead. Right now this event seems to be iphone and some accessories.. appletv included. Any mac stuff I would assume would be at the beginning of 2018 along with the new iphone se.
That's a pretty detailed script you got there - you into marketing/event coordination?
I do think it's a bit too cheesy even for Apple, though I have to admit, I had a similar idea in mind as well already.
I'm willing to bet there will be some sort of montage like you mentioned or at least a short flashback showing Steve introducing the first iPhone ("an iPod, a phone.."). It's taking place at the "Steve Jobs Theatre" after all..
No I don't. But I'd be willing to bet you that you can't make a logical connection between this even on Sept 12 and a rumor that the iPhone wouldn't be coming out until November. I'd take that bet. I'd take it because there's no correlation between the announcement and the device being released. I'm honestly not seeing how you're seeing this announcement as some sort of indictment against a rumored November release. The phone could release in Sept. It could release in Oct. It could release in Janfebmarbruary... still has nothing to do with this event.Do you wanna bet me the iPhone doesn't come out by the end of September???
Same here actually. I wonder whether I'll manage to stay spoiler-free until Apple provides the whole thing a couple of hours afterwards...
I have a feeling that Jobs recorded a bunch of videos before his passing. I bet there willl be a message from Jobs, welcoming everyone to the new headquarters.
Even perhaps, video of his involvement in the design of the new Iphone. It was said before he died that he had left apple with several years of product line plans and designs.......yup.

Guess most Central Europeans which view this are the luckiest ones since it's at 19.00, after diner, most already took a shower, it's the right time for a (few) beer(s) too.
Perfect timing.
You're a genius! You have actually solved the naming crisis... SEX - new iPhone SE released and iPhone X name confirmed!

Apple today sent out media invites for its annual iPhone-centric event that will be held on Tuesday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the Steve Jobs Theater at the company's new Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. The media invites offer a first look at the theme of the event and feature the tagline: "Let's meet at our place." (via The Loop)
Apple's fall 2017 event will be its most significant in years thanks to the debut of a radically redesigned iPhone that features an edge-to-edge display, a vertical rear camera, facial recognition capabilities, a much improved processor, and wireless inductive charging functionality. The new iPhone features a display similar in size to the display of the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, but with a body closer in size to the 4.7-inch iPhone 7.
Along with a nearly bezel-free display, the device includes a glass body and is promised to be the most advanced, most revamped iPhone we've seen since the introduction of the iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. We expect the OLED iPhone, which is rumored to be more expensive than traditional iPhones, to be sold alongside two 4.7 and 5.5-inch LCD models that more closely resemble existing devices.
The upcoming 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones have not been heavily featured in rumors, but they too are said to feature glass bodies, support for wireless charging functionality, and improvements to the processor, camera, and other components.

The iPhones aren't the only upgrades Apple will unveil at the event. Rumors suggest Apple will introduce a third-generation Apple Watch with an LTE chip that allows it to be decoupled from the iPhone. There's been some talk of a potential redesign, but it's sounding like the third-generation Apple Watch will look a lot like the Apple Watch Series 2.
At the event, we may hear more about upcoming products like the iMac Pro and the HomePod, and there could be one other major hardware surprise in store for us - a new 4K Apple TV. Hints of such a device have been spotted in firmware leaks and we've known Apple has had a new Apple TV in the works for some time.
As for other hardware, many iPads and Macs were refreshed in June, so we are not expecting any updates to the Mac and iPad lineups, but expect to see new Apple Watch bands and new iPhone cases.
We've already been testing next-generation operating systems including iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, tvOS 11, and watchOS 4, but following Apple's event, we may see some of these updates released to the public. iOS and watchOS updates are often released just ahead of new iPhones, while macOS updates tend to come somewhat later. tvOS 11 is such a minor update that it isn't clear when it'll be released, but it could come alongside the other updates. One thing we may not see -- an Amazon Prime Video app. There's one in the works, but word is it won't be ready in time.
In line with past events, Apple's 2017 iPhone unveiling will kick off at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple will stream the event live on its website and on the 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.
