I think it's unlikely. I didn't read any iPad mini 5 rumors until now and it looks like early Spring is the new launch period for the iPad Pro line.
Maybe, but as others have stated, the circles look like lights that form a pixelated apple logo. The first thing I thought of was "lights, camera, action." I assume the new camera will be a big "Focus" of the event.The image forms an Apple with circle, maybe signifying a new home button ?
But forcing people to use a proprietary adapter? Nothing futuristic about that, just obnoxious. Also said it before here, but will repeat... wireless may be the future but the sound quality is just not here in the present. And digital... what difference does it make if the source material is poorly mastered. Apple should push out lossless tracks on iTunes if it wants to tout music quality. Then it can make the case for a proprietary digital headphone port.

This will prompt a bigger backlash than the removal of the floppy drive, optical drive, and the 30-pin connector.
I will never spend $50 on an antenna convertor. Just as I'll never ever adopt Lightning earphones or use some stupid converter. Don't care how much better it is. The headphone jack we've had all this time is good enough. And will be good enough for another 100 years.
What the hell is it with Apple and setting events at the same day as others. This is the same time the Sony 4k Neo is being announced as well.
Sony should have known. Apple usually has their iPhone events that week.
On the plus side, I want to own some Apple stock, so maybe after it tanks a bit with the iPhone 7 I can pick up some on the cheap?

Has Sony confirmed that date or is that a rumor?
If we're lucky, it could be sooner than that, with the announcement coming in June 2017. Actual release could be on June 29, 2017 (303 days from today). It's a Thursday, not a Friday, but Apple can make an exception.
Glad this is coming up soon. My upgrade date with Verizon is 10/5 (2 year contract not Edge or whatever they call it). And I shattered my screen over the weekend on my 6+. I hope that Verizon will bump my date slightly so that I can upgrade in the presale.
The colored circles could indicate that the flash on the iPhones now comes in colors too
Don't get excited, the colors represents new watch bands.
Now you're giving non-puter-nerds the impression that we don't have a sense of humor. But we are both correct. It's the 10th iPhone, but it's number 9.
Fair enough. I apologize for my snarky tone.
The non-puter-nerds already get the impression I don't have a sense of humor when i try to tell a spherical cow joke
.Delays shouldn't occur, and if they do it's an issue with the headphones. Two people listening to the same video on two sets of headphones? Is this even a thing? If anything having wireless headphones would would make such a thing easier (Airplay to multiple devices - wish Apple would enable that).
The technology is ready. And even then how do we not know that Apple has some crazy new wireless thing for new AirPods?
And, don't forget, bluetooth audio is an industry-wide standard.
If you're ok with forcing the future then why do you care about them removing a 100 year old analog audio jack?
but you can't compare the headphone jack to the change of NTSC to ATSC. just like people shouldn't compare the headphone jack to dropping of floppy. Each change is unique in it's own right. FTC (and other agencies) had to move from ATSC from NTSC because of limitations of the analogue signal over the air running out of bandwidth. Changing to digital opened up the airwaves for far more channels, and far more functionality.
Dropping headphone jack isn't nearly the same. I agree with you. Unless there's some new universal standard that every single audio maker decides to switch to, I'm not buying a phone that doesn't have a headphone jack.
so i think we're in agreeance overall
Verizon is notorious for not caring, they'll probably tell you to go **** yourself or you can upgrade, but you have to turn in your device and get a new one on DPP. 'Oh, you shattered your screen? Oh, I'm so terribly sorry, I guess you have to wait until October.' They just don't like to work with you.
I'd be shocked if they move your date up, honestly.
I will be shocked as well, but in the past they have always moved me up if I was within a month or so. Even if not, I can wait, as it will only be a couple of weeks wait.
Shouldn't but they do. Layer of difficulty added.
For kids, yes. For my wife and me is less of a problem, but it happens; mostly when we go to spend a good chunk of the night and day at a korean spa around here and we bring one device to watch a movie together while relaxing. Uncommon? Yes, probably.
Because it's not a matter of years, it's a matter of what the substitution implies.
What's weird is that a month or so ago, they reported that I could upgrade immediately, that stayed for a couple of weeks. Then they fixed it back to 10/5
I'm not sure if it was just a lack of information given to userse when the forced change happened. But yes, nothing changed with antenna technology. Just the tuner.
When I was a poor unemployed student a few years back, I couldn't afford Cable, but was in a great location to pick up Toronto based TV signals and US (buffalo) based signals. I had a TV with ATSC tuner, so I saved a few bucks. I took a piece of cardboard (8.5"x11" standard paper size). I then took old and broken guitar strings (metal ones). I created a coil of those guitar strings that created a pattern spread out on the cardboard sheet of paper. Then I attached a wire to one side of the the guitar string, wrie to the other side. I then bought a 20cent coax cable jack, and wired that up to the wires. and Voila. I was getting Full HD OTA signal for < $5 in parts / materials
Digital audio does not exist. Audio is by definiton analog. No way that Lightning headphones will provide better audio quality. And even if they could (theoretically only possible by using headphones that incude a better DAC than the one that's already built-in in the current iPhone), you can also achieve "digital audio" by not removing the 3.5mm jack.
