Apple Issues Invitations for Media Event on September 12

[drpellypo]

Last I checked when BMW releases a new 3 series, it isn't called a 4 series or 5 series. It's usually 3xx whereas the xx may change, if at all. Cars are designated by the model year and model of make.

That is incorrect. They call it a '3' series or '5' series, and following numbers are to indicate the approximate engine size (so 325 is a 2.5 etc) The actual models are designated E so it would be a BMW 325 E46 etc etc.

Edit - ignore me! I misread what you wrote.

Ok so when the Playstation 4 is announced (for example) will people be up in arms at Sony for calling it the PS4 when technically it's the PS7 (if you include slim releases)...?

Why all the fuss? Just because it's the 6th iteration doesn't mean it HAS to be called the '6'...damn people!

iPhone 5 = 5th generation of the phone

It's not hard to understand, unless you are extremely stupid or simple.

 

[Talarspeed]

Seriously . . . 90% of you need to get a life.

Xbox 360 = 360th generation of the Xbox
Nokia 5110 = 5110th generation of the Nokia

It's not hard to understand, unless you are extremely stupid or simple.

Lmao! Best reply yet.

will the event be available in streaming?

 

[Geckotek]

will the event be available in streaming?

No, unless that rogue Ustream feed actually works.

Does anyone know the length of the media event tomorrow?

No, that hasn't been publicized. I'm guessing about an hour, maybe an hour and a half.

Um, where does it say "iPhone 5"?

I told you. The 5 means 5th anniversary of the iPhone. It won't be called the iphone 5 or 6.

Care to expand on this now?

[jungwook72]

maybe 5 news?

Does anybody think there is a chance that the 5 on the invitation could be five new products?

iPhone(5)

iPad mini

Macbook Pro 13 retina

iMacs

iPods (nano and touch)

Just a thought.

I also thought that 5 would mean not only iPhone 5 but also 5 news.

Thinking about 5 updates/upgrades, I may list 5 i-line ups as follow.

iPhone 5
iPod (touch, nano, and shuffle?)
ipad (mini?)
iTunes Update
iOS 6

Since there is another rumor saying that iPad mini will be announced at a separate media events, iPod lines may be divded in to two groups, i.e., touch and nano.

Oh Boy...

That's my guess. Anyone have links to live blogs?

Edit: this is what I was looking for, just posted.

It did work

But i ended up reading from The Verge live blog instead..... As uStream went up and down constanly.

Wondering why MacRumors didn't do it this time though.

Apple doesn't stream live.

 

[Surely]

Apple doesn't stream live.

They have at least once in the past.

 

[Tech198]

They have at least once in the past.

Thats true.

 

[ghostlyorb]

Because they didn't announce iOS 6 months ago, and have betas out for months, lol.

Whatever are thou talking about?


ha. Well I was obviously being sarcastic due to the smiley....

Hardly anyone buys these incredibly expensive, box-looking 'tech spec geek' advanced professional machines. I don't see why they even continue selling them, they must only sell mainly to professionals. 99% of people only need the speed of normal PCs/macs now. Facebook doesn't require much.

True, very true. But in the past Apple made name by doing both, building great looking machines that blew the pc in order of how it was made and when looking at the horsepower. And horsepower is no facebook, it's what "pro" users simply need.
