He wouldn't be there to cut the ribbon. He's too busy selling Chevy's in the Bay Area.
Every time they repeat those old messages, it cheapens them. I think the crazy ones stuff was awesome, but it belongs in the past. To use it today would just dilute the meaning and association.
Blender to see if it.....never mind.........Sounds good to me
I’m much more interested in what else Apple will do with infrared or thermal imaging, there is a whole bunch of cool things outside of faceID.
My reflection was on a compact laptop such as the 12" MacBook I'm using just now rather than the 12 core MacPro warming up my office. Keyboard is the thing I'd miss most but with voice recognition making diction possible a phone could replace a compact laptop whilst on the move.
Nah, Apple's going to do the same thing they've always done. They'll wait until 8k has become so mainstream and commonplace on windows that everyone is bored with it. Then they'll introduce 9k like it's the most amazing thing ever. Even though it will run on integrated GPUs. All the fanatics will say it's Intel's fault for taking so long making a powerful enough integrated GPU sooner but 8k is so much better than 9k it was worth the wait and it lets you edit 8k video in full res plus on screen controls so it's the greatest thing ever.
A nest thermostat can dock in the middle and act as a screen. I'd hate to see the price of the dongle though.
Good for you! I wish I had waited -- I jumped from a 4S to last year's 7 Plus (I had my 4S for 6 years and it was more than a little long-in-the-tooth. Enjoy the 8!
Haha, I see where you're going with that and it would be 10k, but Apple can make whatever fancy proprietary keynote rig they want!
As a side note, I love my new 5K iMac at work. I'm glad they didn't compromise the desktop space at retina resolution. I selected an area using screen capture shortcuts that was 4K and it's actually quite a bit smaller.
Oh no, don't get me wrong, Tim has been great. However, Tim and crew still displayed much respect for Jobs, as a boss, and a friend. I would not be surprised if there is an homage or something. It would be cool to have Jobs talk about the future, AR, biometrics, etc...and that this phone is the one he was working on a few years back, (but they had to release the finger recognition because the facial recognition tech wasn't good enough...).
However, I always wondered if facial recognition was perfected years ago....but Apple wanted to roll out Apple Pay and dominate. To do so, they needed two things 1. Partners, financial institutions, ...and 2. People to use and trust the system. If they rolled out facial recognition, people wouldn't trust it...but touch? my fingerprint? .. People understand fingerprints. It's used by law enforcement, they've seen it on TV, etc....it's' tactile, physical...people would use it and embrace it. "IF my fingerprint is good enough for my phone, then it's good enough for my payments". I truly believe this has been the plan for years. Get people to adopt..then push the tech forward.
For me, I'm most anxious over the Amazon app on the Apple TV.
When that happens, the cycle will be complete. I will not need any other system.

Super stoked for THE RING to be utilized...FINALLY!!!
Time to innovate and invent the iLifeVest for folks in Hurricane areas. The life vest will have built in food/water filtration/GPS/2way Emergency band Radio/ and will broadcast Personal ID (position, name, address, age, email/phone, medical condition, pulse, etc. to industry standard survivor network). Cajun Navy / Government rescuers will get data from ALL flood victims. It may be bulky but if it saves your life.....the phone/watch could be integrated into it so some of the functionality is not redundant.
Or, a simple watch size waterproof beacon with sensors to monitor heartbeat. The iBeacon. Would help gauge which rescues are priority.

What time in the UK did pre-orders become available for the iPhone 7 via Apple's website? Was it in the early hours of the Friday morning? Around 3am? I just want to know what time I should be up, using the Apple Store app to buy one.
I have the iPhone 5. I charge it three times daily. I need this new iPhone. I could get a cheaper one, but I'm going to go all out following the five years of deprivation I've had to go through, as someone who was once the owner of all things new with Apple. After owning the 3GS, 4, 4S and 5... iPad, iPad 3 and iPad Mini, MacBook Black, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, I finally stopped investing in Apple products and built a business instead... and now I'm buying the iPhone 8 with money that I've made from my own business... this might be some food for thought for those of you who are upgrading from the 2 iPhone 7s that you own... there's nothing wrong with keeping up to date, but there are better ways to invest your money. I was addicted at one point and all of my money went to Apple... now I can control myself. Life is better.

Prediction: The colors within the logo in the invite are going to be the new colors for iPhone 8: White/Light Grey, Midnight Blue, and Copper Red.
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.
