As we all know the Mac Universe is highly focused on hardware and gadgets with Software stuff being a secondary interest. This leaves the Mac universe very vulnerable to missing some big important possibilities that are right in obvious but almost never discussed. I'll bet anything Apple will be announcing further iCloud features and services that could be earth shattering, in my opinion.

Apple keeps saying they are going to do new and different things and they've also said over and over again how important and strategic iCloud is for them. So how about iPay or iBank or something along those lines? They've got the resources to do just about anything including many possibilities in the non-gadget world that could be an amazingly successful expansion to their business.

Something that might have gone under the radar is the iCloud Keychain feature to save credit card informations... it may be a step toward that... just need to integrate it with passbook/NFC/LBE/something...
 
iCloud features make iPhone much more competitive and unique

I would also add that improving the iPhone with amazing iCloud features and services will produce a competitive smartphone advantage that will be very difficult for the competition to match. Has anyone noticed the effort Apple has been putting into the facilities to support iCloud? One more amazing thing Apple is doing!
 
I also think the iPhone 5 will be going away. I think Apple is making changes so they can have 2 iPhones at all times - the lower end and the flagship. This year it will be the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

At the moment they have the 5, 4S and 4. If they just have the 5S and 5C that would surely leave too big a gap. Atbthe moment is someone doesn't want the 5' the 4S or even 4 would likely be a preferred option over a plastic 5C.

I'll be surprised if they don't go from:

5, 4S and 4

to

5S, 5 and 5C.
 
Are you serious? What was their iPhone 4 leak? Tell me a story.

If you're still interested, here's the original post from April 2010, when they got a hold of an iPhone 4 prototype lost at a bar. They paid a guy cash for it:

Here's the conclusion to the story:
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/gawker-gizmodo-off-hook-iphone-4-leak-case-180334600.html

Charges were filed, then dropped. And Gizmodo was never at another Apple event ever again.
That is why they provide "meta-blogs" on Apple event days. They aren't actually there. LOL.
 
Based on the colored (circles) apple event photo, it means that apple will launched the rumored colored iPhone 5.
 
I hope they stream the event live and preferably for all users, not just mac and iOS ones.
 
I'm a little surprised that only the two new phones are to be revealed...No information on the MP? I'd be surprised if we don't at least get some kind of price point announcement.

I think the new Mac Pro is coming after Mavericks is released. I would say November...
 
I'll go out on a limb and say a larger IGZO screen would absolutely brighten my day!
 
Perhaps a new brighter thunderbolt display in addition to the 5C and even better displays on their products? Hope we get more news about the mp
 
Sorry if this is has been asked and answered (too many posts to read in this thread), but do we have any idea yet if the media event on the 10th will have a live video stream like the one back in June?

Most likely. They've done it since last year in October.

As far as I know, PC users have always been able to watch it as long as they are using safari. I may be wrong though.

Thats nice. I hope macrumors have a no-spoiler stream link up for those who wish to catch it much later

It should be up, if not go create a thread!

I'm sure all of our MP questions will be answered.

What they showed us as a "Sneak Peek"

Would be good if that is true. Because i have already downloaded safari on my windows PC. i have iPad as well so i can watch in iPad also.
But PC would be better.
 
Availability

Just curious. Does anyone know when the iPhone 5S will be available to buy? I know it's said to be announced on the 10th but does that mean the next day it will be able to be signed onto a new contact?

Any info would be fantastic :) Thank!
