Apple Invites Media to September 7 Event: 'See You on the 7th'

[Thunderhawks]

so, it's time to hear everyone's theory as to what the image is secretly telling us.

Maybe Charles Manson will be released?

No MacBook Pro

Siri still not usable?

See you on the 7th of September 2016 .. 7+9+2+0+1+6=25, 2+5=7, illuminati confirmed

 

[smacrumon]

Still excited. Hopefully there will be some saving grace.

 

[Bubba Satori]

What a blurry photo. Terrible.

Bokeh is the new thin and light.

 

[DCINKC]

Excellent!

 

[mleonm5]

The invite picture on Apple's website has a full sized picture with even clearer text and blurrier circles. So further hinting at the camera theory.

 

[mattburley7]

looking forward to iOS 10, macOS sierra, watchOS 3 and apple watch 2!

It's telling us that Apple is losing their focus.
I'll be here all week.

Ok so It represents the 3 products they're introducing;
the big grouping of bubbles is the iPhone,
the smaller grouping is the Apple Watch,
and that small, lone, greyed out bubble in the back is the Mac.

The iPhone bubbles go in waves like iPhone sales, the Apple Watch bubbles are still just coming on the scene, and the Mac, well, its all but forgotten.

I'm so excited! Modest iPhone upgrade but I'm interested to see how they sell us the lack of headphone port.

As Daring Fireball said "None of us outside the company seem to know [if Apple is making a mistake removing the headphone jack], because all that has leaked is that the new iPhone won’t have the port, with no explanation why."

...annnndd the Apple Watch 2. I'm hoping the Mac will get some love, too, so the Buyers Guide here goes green.

 

[macduke]

So this thing should go on sale September 23rd if last year is any indication. I hope they address how the iPhone upgrade program will work since this is the first time everyone will be trading up. I hope it's easy to do online, with a box mailed that I can easily send in, because last year I had to drive 120 miles to the nearest Apple Store so I could get it started so I could consistently upgrade every year at launch. And that time I didn't even need to trade-up, just start the freaking program.

 

[brunosh]

Definitely a clue about the new dual-camera. But what font is that? Looks kinda amateur.

 

[ke-iron]

The light bloom from the Apple logo probably relates to the new capabilities of the multi-focus dual-lens camera.

Let the speculation begin...

"The light bloom from the Apple logo probably relates to the new" and improve HomeKit light integration with Philip hue and the new home app.

 

[jamezr]

Please just give me the space black iPhone 7 plus!

 

[bobob]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's an apple logo, blurred out. I like it, its kinda artsy an obscure, which is all they need for an invitation.

We have a winner!

It harkens back to their old logo.

 

[BeardMan7]

First I read: The fail 2016 event...LOL.

 

[PipSeg]

And this article implies that there are going to be a lot of pissed off MacBook Pro people as they will have to wait longer for a new MacBook Pro.

I personally am waiting to buy one and this whole delay thing with not releasing or at least announcing one at this event is not helping Apple at all. I am not in a position where I have to buy one now but I am one that will wait for the newest version. I am not buying the current MacBook Pro when there should be a new one out soon.

WOW

 

[Stella]

I'm guessing any new Macbook Pros will be announced in an iPad event, since Apple defines an iPad as a computer...

 

[Cineplex]

Bring on the watch bands and emojis.

 

[sw1tcher]

iPhone 7... on the 7th!

Oh I get it. See you on the 7th. Because it's the iPhone 7. So clever.

That probably makes more sense than an event for new MacBook Pros with new Intel i7 processors.

 

[webperfex]

At least make the invite look decent! Smh

 

[clunkmess]

It's actually happening!

 

[1041958]

See you on the 7th of September 2016 .. 7+9+2+0+1+6=25, 2+5=7, illuminati confirmed

Ah, I was hoping for a "Half Life 3" confirmed. C+ for effort.

 

[canadianreader]

Oh I get it. See you on the 7th. Because it's the iPhone 7. So clever.

Does that black background with those contrasting vivid colors mean we are finally getting OLED?

Smart! I didn't think about the 7th iteration of the iPhone. Makes sense!

When will the preorder be and what time for the east coast
