Apple Issues Invitations for September 10 Media Event: 'This Should Brighten Everyone's Day'

[robpow]

Isn't it obvious. The backlight in the iPhone 5S is now even brighter than the 5.

 

[EricByer]

Omg they are colored circles! Quick everybody try to figure out what that means!

Obviously an invite to a game of Twister.

 

[DowdyFick]

Actually, the iPhone 4S was announced at headquarters as well. So it probably makes sense that the iPhone 5S would be as well.

In other words, don't expect anything earthquaking.

Ah okay good to know

 

[prehnra]

I guess it is officially time to put the countdown on my site…

 

[Erphern]

...and everyone's day just got darker in the "Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread".

 

[dazed]

Great. Am in market for new phone. Will now be able to compare Apples new offerings to those of Android.

Should be an interesting month or so with all the new phones about to be announced.

 

[Steviejobz]

This phone is a fail on so many levels. When did Apple get into making skittles? Why would an iPhone 4/5 owner want to downgrade to powder blue? Ever hear of a case? Does this open a new market for them? Sure, perhaps. But I also think it cannibalizes high end sales to a degree. Lower margin to grab market share. Happens when companies peak or reach a saturation point. I guess once you can't find something to improve upon you can change the color and call it a new product.

Still waiting for iWatch, iTV, and retina iPad mini.

5C

C is the 3rd number of the alphabet, 3 + 5 = 8 + 10th september = 18

25 dots on the invite poster

25 - 18 = 7 = ios 7

i = 9th number
o = 15th
s = 19th

9 + 15 = 24

24 - 19 = 5

iOS is 3 letters so 3 in the alphabet is C which means

5C!

Inconceivable!

 

[thekeyring]

I really suspect (and this event invitation almost confirms it) that the 5C is the only new iPhone we are going to see on September 10th.

This is such an interesting idea. I think everyone's expecting a 5S, so it'd be nice to have a curve-ball.

Seven pages and no one's yet commented on the meaning of the font that was used?
Really?

 

[mattnotis]

Fingers crossed for an entry-level 32 GB on the 5S!

Enlighten us?

I can't help but notice that there are different shades of each color present in the invite. Not just one shade of blue, but what looks like 3 or 4 different shades. 2 different yellow's, 3 different purples. Does it mean nothing? Does it mean everything?

And what gives with the grey rings?

The different shades are just to display depth . Like the active wallpapers in iOS 7. I'm using dynamic and when the floating balls move further back they become lighter. Point being they all start off they same color blue for example and change cause technically they are moving away from us.

What would brighten my day...

.... a ios 7 GM release today!!!

 

[anshuvorty]

looks cheap and childish, just like new iOS7 icons, especially GameCenter

yeah, the bubbles on the invite suggested gamecenter to me at 1st glance. Maybe new social features with gamecenter, to please the casual gaming crowd?

 

[Steviejobz]

New lawsuit coming.

 

[dru`]

could there really be anything we don't already know about these phones? Zzzz.

 

[jaybrown81]

Obviously an invite to a game of Twister.

lmfao

I assume the grey rings (on the white background) represent the white version.

 

[armandxp]

This will be the wording on the iWatch invite next year (or the year after or possibly never).

Good one!

 

[JHankwitz]

count how many colors of bubbles in the invite? I see 10:

Red, 2 purples, yellow, gold, blue, cyan, green, white and pink.

Hmm... no black.

Black isn't a color. It's the lack of color.

1. No phone has been announced, this is merely an invitation to an Apple event on September 10th.

2. Apple has been releasing stuff like this for years. Note: iPod, Photo, Video, Shuffle, Nano, mini, Touch, Classic, etc. The list goes on. And guess what, they're all iPod's. And all sold VERY well.

3. How is a retina iPad mini any more earth shattering? Retina displays already exist, but what your saying is by putting it on an iPad mini - which most people expect to happen at this point - it would restore your faith in Apple as an innovative tech company?

Funniest comment I've read in a long time. I'm literally at work lol with tears running down my face.
