Apple Issues Media Invitations for September 9 Event: 'Wish We Could Say More'

[Supacon]

I can't believe nobody (as far as I can tell) is picking up on this, but the invite says "Wish we could say more.", not "We wish we could say more."

That subtle shift in grammar makes a big difference to the meaning, and I'm sure that the people in charge of Apple's marketing know how to write proper English.

When one says "Wish we could say more." that's an imperative command telling you to make a wish.

The "We" is probably referring to all of us (Apple and its customers) and not just Apple.

I suspect that the phrase is referring to a voice-based feature. Perhaps it implies that Siri will become a lot more useful and that this rumored new wearable will be used primarily with a voice interface, much as Siri is now.

I think that the new feature allowing you to send voice recordings through iMessage will factor heavily into the messaging capabilities of an iWatch.

This makes sense to me!

I think the word to retain here is "more" and not "say" like some people says (it's not related to siri as it's an hardware event) :

More screen estate
More battery life
More new products (iWatch?)
More sizes available (4,7 AND 5,5 instead of only 4)
One more thing????

If you listen to Beatles' song "Revolution #9" backwards it's full of hidden messages...

9.9

Being sceptical, I think Apple will launch iPhone 6, which will feature 2GB RAM and NFC chip for mobile payments and that will be it.

Being optimistic, Apple will present another game changes - similar to original iPhone or even Mac Pro. I hope I'm wrong and there will be some exciting products though!

I really do hope/and think something (new) Mac related will be released, might be a new Mac Mini, or a new Thunderbolt UHD or ....

I think it just means that they can't wait for September 9 to come because they can't say anything more on the invitations. So they mean that the event is going to be huge and they are way too excited about it.

I think it's a reference to Siri and the iWatch. You'll be able to completly control the iWatch with Siri.

Wish we could say more, but we actually don't have much to say. But the pipeline is full of new and innovative products.

Look at what I found when I brought the image into Photoshop and took the shadow and midtone sliders in LEVELS over to the right!

I've used this technique before to see concept car teases that the auto makers have used to hide details.

So full of it. That's so obviously fake (it doesn't even use the right font), plus I analyzed the image myself and found nothing.

Plus: If Apple calls anything 'iWatch' I'll eat my socks.

 

[elmaco]

This is what we can expect.

My interpretation in 1 Picture

 

[propspain]

Mmmm... I think it's the first time that the date of event is that big. For me looks like it's something related with time/date (watch)?

Say no more!

which makes me think, rounded traditional design on the iWacth? sundial is circular.

 

[oliversl]

Let me try it:
- porcelain material
- solar powered something
- watch, the dial shadow is from 10 hours (from this forum)
- something about voice activation

Perfect. The two 6's (for two iPhone 6s) in the 9.9 is obvious, and I like the sundial connection.

 

[Nautilus007]

Haven't been this excited for an Apple event in a while...

Me neither...but usually when i get excited it ends in Dissapointments. I am already convinced the iPhone 6 will be a letdown

 

[madmaxmedia]

I believe the tagline means "we can't announce products we would like to because of component manufacturing issues".

They should have just had that on the invitation!

 

[Snookerman]

I don't remember them writing the date with dots like that before. The dots look like a sideways colon like the one between the hours and minutes on a watch.

 

[RestUnknown]

O god every time the same story. People getting overhyped just because of Apple posting some clever slogan or trying a new location. Probably just the iPhone 6 and a wearable watch (wow such an innovation, it's gonna revolutionize the world, you don't need that *****!).

Uch people...

turn those 9's upside down = 6.6
20-14=6

6.6.6

It's the mark of the beast! The end is near!

 

[iMcLovin]

"We wish we could say more" - hints at their apology for those ugly antenna lines on the back sides. "There´s no excuse, we wish we could say more, but there´s nothing else to say than sorry! fans"

This is my take on the invite. Bezel like the new iphone and the sundail
