The 1 means that they are only making ONE iPhone and everyone has to fight over it, last one alive can keep it. Just try calling someone...once you are alone...
 
Saw this on an Engadget comment... it makes sense:

"picture tells me: Oct4(calendar), 10AM(clock), appleHQ(map), 1 new iPhone(phone alert)"

Oh My god !

Stop the thread !

Did you all read this guys post ?

Finally someone has contributed a explanation :rolleyes:


I'm so glad people don't just open their mouth and start swaking like a parrot before reading the other comments in the thread !

It is clearly obvious that the Green Phone icon means that Crocidlie Dundee will be on hand to make the oficial announcemnt about the new green iPhone. Either him or Kermit.

Seriously, I think the 1 is in reference to a Voice Mail. The Voice Mail will be played and it will be Mr. Jobs announcing the one more thing and it will be the iPhone 5 announcement. That is my predicition.
 
I am pretty sure the "1" is a reference to Steve Jobs favorite book/movie trilogy-- the Lord of the Rings. '


Three Blackberries for the chubby executives in their swivel chairs,
Seven Windows phones for the tweens on their school buses,
Nine androids for nerds doomed to be virgins,
One for Steve Jobs in Cupertino
In the Land of Silicone Valley where the Shadows lie.
ONE phone to rule them all
ONE phone to find them
ONE phone to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
 
Other wild ideas for the "1"

Could it be that Apple is tired of all the iPhone 4s/iPhone4GS/iPhone 5 talk, and have decided to start all over with the iPhone One, the ONE iPhone to have..?

Or maybe the release date is november 1st, due to the delays..?
 
Perfect Timing!!!

Sweet! Meeting with someone today after work to sell my 32gb iphone 4!!

At last. This will be one to watch.

Looking forward to it!
 
I agree. Phones are on 2 year contracts because the phone companies expect you to be able to get 2 years out of them before you have to get another one.

Actually, there on two year contracts because they expect you to use them for two years so they can recoup their subsidy on the phone before they subsidize a new one,
 
64GB iPhone or screw it. I always said that 16 is plenty enough but when you shoot a lot of video and have a decent music collection (5-6 gigs) it begins to seem low. Imagine if they added 1080p, 64 would really be a must.
 
Hmm just a day later they could have it on the 5th.

iOS 5, iPhone 5, A5 on October 5th.

At this point, who really wants to wait another day to find out what's officially going to happen and finally put an end all these rumors. :)

Those Android fanboys will be envious now! I wonder how long until Android phones have turn by turn?

We already have it (and have had it for a long time).

My low budget prepaid Android has turn by turn. Google Navigation is amazing.

Now who's being sarcastic?
 
It's cool how all the info regarding the event is depicted in the graphics.
The date is of course stated in the calendar app image, but the time and location as well.

The pin is located at infinite loop, and it's at 10am. pretty neat.

Maybe ....

Cus it's no crazier than any of the other theories tossed out there, albeit a bit more obscure ...

Maybe the 1 is a reference to:

by Three Dog Night (adapted for MacRumors)

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No 5 is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, 4s it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since Steve went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
