Apple are doomed you know.
It's not as if they've posted record numbers of iPhone sales pretty much consistently, or posted the largest quarter for a U.S. firm ever is it?
Oh, wait...

The location is big, so it will not be an iPhone only event.
In the past some iPhones (4S, 5 and 5S if I remember correctly) were announced in Cupertino to a small audience. This time, like in 2014, the invite is extended to thousand of people so they can't show only a revamped iPhone
Not that I am aware, they are just taking the discount as a sign. I don't use it myself, I am not really in "THE LOOP".

LOOP, THE: Location where Apple employees involved in the design or executive areas of Apple are in. Not to be confused as where those with no credible evidence their claim to be on their posts.
There are plenty of rumours suggesting it will be announced on the 9th.
Apple TV: Everything We Know
I can't wait until battery life becomes a focus point of new release phones. With the rumors of the battery being even smaller, it makes me think the battery life of the 6s won't be any different than the 6 at all.
Well that's a useful comment in no way whatsoever. Like who? Who has the money to develop in the way these companies do?
Even the next gen stuff like Oculus and Cast AR and Magic leap are developing innovative tech but all have big company backing now. Tesla are innovating in their industry. Ideas are cheap. Actually producing something real is not.
The next real big innovation will be someway down the line. I am sure someone somewhere is doing working black ops research into direct to Ocular or Neural interfaces and that will be the start of the next paradigm in computing.

I wanted to give this a shot, but being around people who aren't aware of voice assistants they'd take me for a freak. So I tried to say "Siri give me a hint" in a very low voice. I guess this was a bad idea to begin with. I probably scarred Siri for life.
Interesting that Siri is using non-American date formatting for the responses. 9 September?
Edit: Apologies, looks like the screenshots are simply from someone not using American date formatting.
Anyway, speaking as someone who can quite easily fill 64GB with large music playlists, having 128GB at the 64GB price point would be pretty awesome.

If the wave is moving left to right, what does the loss of the blue and green signify? (Haven't read every response on the thread so don't know if someone mentioned that)
Don't want to build up too much hype otherwise we're let down but this venue is quadruple times 3 the size of the usual place where Apple hosts their events.
Bill Graham Civic Auditorium: 7,000 people
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts: 700-ish people
Also whats with the street barricades, seems awfully odd for an Apple event.

Didn't we see that at the last keynote? Its hardly a massive secret even if they didn't show it since the new Siri had been implemented across the line for the beta versions of the update.
unfortunately probably not, Apple tend to announce iPad's in October at the same event as Mac's. I would love for them to announce the iPad Pro because it's what I'm waiting for, but i think the September event will be new iPhone's and a new Apple TV. Unless Tim Cook does a "One more thing" and surprises us all.
Update: Siri itself is also getting in on the festivities with some witty responses.
No, there isn't. There are vague rumours about a new Apple TV, but nothing conclusive. Everything you read here is just a continuation of rumours and speculation on top of those rumours based on the invitation.
That still doesn't indicate an Apple TV at all. I don't see a reason to switch to a larger auditorium just to announce a new Apple TV with Apps.
Maybe to demo it on big TV screens, apart from iPhones and Apple TV what else could they announce?
The only reason is to invite more people and to have room to showcase the products after the event.
There is no specific clue about Apple TV so it could be anything else but at this time the TV is a good guess.
In 2014 they introduced Apple Pay and the Watch so they needed a broader audience to include people interested in payments and in fashion.
This year the audience may include people interested in TV shows, movies, maybe games.
