you want waterproofing but you want a headphone jack that is susceptible to moisture...hmm
Got a tip for us?

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

Super curious to see if they prove us wrong and show a compelling reason for removing the headphone jack and change the audio world. They've done it in the past so I'm hopeful.
I don't think I can take another event this year with no MBPs announced, but chances are we won't be seeing any this event either.
I hope that dark background means dark mode is confirmed! I know, I'm dreaming, right?
Seriously though. There's something weird about that invite. The typography seems kinda weak for Apple. It seems so plain, but not in their usual elegant way. It's not as thin, it's set uncomfortably close to the baseline of the graphic. And that might be an actual photo, and they haven't used an actual photo for an event in quite some time.

Perhaps someone else has mentioned this, but having the "7th" in the graphic seems out of the ordinary. Looking back at past events, I don't see much evidence of them phrasing things that way. So this really might be called the iPhone 7 instead of the 6SE.
Nah, you folks are reading too much into the 7th.
It'll be a 6se.
See you on the 7th.

Don't give a crap about innovation, I just wanna replace my 6+ and sell it before it dies like they say they are.
In case anyone didn't notice it (I didn't at first), the color bubbles pattern is the top of the Apple logo.
I think the dual camera on the Plus will make for a very impressive demo.
Here's some of the features the dual LinX Imaging camera could bring:
I think the dual camera on the Plus will make for a very impressive demo.
Here's some of the features the dual LinX Imaging camera could bring:
- Bokeh effects, changing the depth of field after the picture was taken.
- Much better performance in low light situations.
- Augmented Reality (AR) applications - LinX cameras provides a true pixel-precise depth map, which would greatly help virtual object placement and orientation.
- 3D photos/videos - tilt your iPhone to get some 3D parallax depth effect while watching your photos/videos. Not easily possible with traditional stereophotography which needs shape recognition to estimate a fake depth map from two 2D images, and often fails at it.
- Ability to create a 3D model of a room just by scanning it with your iPhone.
- Background removal/replacement. With a depth map, it's easy to isolate subjects from the background.
So you're saying that it's going to be a bokeh kind of keynote, eh? Perhaps the new and improved device camera is the primary selling point.
Man, you americans are lucky! I have to be watching this live at 3am on Thursday the 8th
It's your own fault, for living in the future!

I think they'll have a separate "Pro" event for MBP, Mac Pro and iPad Pros and the iMacs/Minis on the side in October.
I'm not as excited as I was a few years ago for these events anymore. I'll probably stream it over my iPad while at work if I'm not too busy. Otherwise, I've been content getting the cliff notes version and summaries after the events.
No. but some new material would be nice.
i agree. only true inspirational apple geniuses could have created something so simple yet elegant like apple have in this picture: circles covering a black background.
Yes, the screen quality is top notch, but the performance is very bad. I have a colleague who has a Note 7 and we compared the speed/performance with my 6S+. Well, I think I do not have to say anything. we all saw that video.
Let's hope that Apple will make the next iPhone with an OLED display.
