Apple Issues Media Invitations for September 9 Event: 'Wish We Could Say More'
- Thread starter MacRumors

Even though it sounds like you're joking around I'm still gonna say: Apple's stock always drops the day of the event, because the event never lives up to the rumors apparently in wall street's eyes, stupid I know, so yes, you're idea is correct but wait until the day of the event after the stock takes it's routined plunge, buy, and then wait your couple weeks, sell, and boom! Free iPhone 6 and iWatch lol
It's labor day weekend so everyone gets a day off on Monday. Maybe the marketing guys are taking Friday off too so better to launch it early

This is doubled down. We still don't know what kind of bonding glue is being used inside.
And where's the "there is no iWatch" per the "not one leaked part" argument that dominated the "there is no 5.5" iPhone" arguments. We're now closer to the rollout date than we've been, not one iWatch part has been seen, but we readily accept an iWatch will be revealed???
Damn! Lol... I guess that's good! I like it better that way. It just means my guess is wrong. Lol
This is the most obvious Apple invite ever:
The day and month are single digits, not proceeded by a zero (09.09) while the year is complete, not abbreviated as "14". Followed by "wish we could say more." All this is intentional and a clue.
So it reads like "99" and 2014, clearly a reference to the old song "99 bottles beers on the wall."
Yes, this "event" is going to be a big party, everyone is going to get so smashed they won't be able to "say" anything negative about whatever is being announced. Now, that's what you call controlling the message. HA!
Note: the preceding was made purely in jest. If you were not amused, have a beer then read it again. Repeat until it is.

My interpretations of it.
1. The "wish we could say more" makes me think there is some voice or speaking announcement. A better siri maybe? Or something voice activated? Or maybe it's Beats related. But that's music which is not really said, it's sung.
Or maybe it's talking about more of something. More battery life, more places to use something. Or more screen size, ie the Apple phablet.
2. Part of the logo is zoomed in. You're only seeing a very tiny portion of the logo. Makes me think either you're talking something zoomed in "ie more pixels" or zoomed in to notice something small attacked to something much larger. Like something wearable.
3. The shadow on the stem of the Apple interests me. I really can't say why that is there. Anyone with any ideas?
4. The colour scheme of the invite. All white. Very strange as Apple moved away from the white plastic products some time ago. I think it's colourless to say what will be announced is something you will look at and go wow I want that. And in a few years time you'll not even notice you're using it. It'll blend in with your life. But you won't know how you coped in your life before you got it.
5. The font is just the standard one Apple has been using of recent, so nothing to read into there.

That's all MR says sometimes. Apple is expected to do X. I'm glad Apple doesn't follow what the crowds expect. Then they'd be a Samsung.

Of all of the ideas spun in this thread, I actually prefer this one to be the one that plays out.
I'm guessing you will ignore everything they say in the keynote, other than "NFC". Then you will say, "Meh, I wish they had said more than just NFC."
