If that happens I will immediately buy the 5s specifically to avoid the ugliness of the newer iPhones.
"Let us loop you in".
Welcome to the new iPhone SE, the most amazing endless boot-looping device you've ever seen. You don't even need to set the date to February 1, 1970. Just push the power button.
What a perfection. What an amazing experience.

Considering the size of Apple these days one would think that they would release more and better. If they have an event where they 'launch' new wrist-bands for apple watch would be an insult.
1. iPhone 5SE or whatever it will be called. If they miss the opportunity to make a hardware re-design when they have the best hardware design on the planet? Also - Apple ruled with their often updated iPod-design and well differentiated. Get with the program apple!
2. iPad Air 3? iPads are not that interesting anymore. An iPad Air 3 will not bolster that market.
3. Wrist bands!? Who cares? I have an Apple watch and I could not care less. Update it to Watch 2.
4. Why on earth have they not updated their laptop line with skylake yet!? Honestly...
Hope I will not be underwhelmed but betting I will.

The invite copy makes it seem like the Watch will have much more importance than MR wants us to believe. I think we're going to get much more than some new bands. I'll go out on a limb and say that Apple will show off the 2nd-gen Watch. Since it will probably have a cellular radio, they want to announce it before FCC filing.
Last year when they introduced "The New MacBook" they updated the processors in the MacBook Airs to Broadwell at the same time. Yet there were no leaks ahead of time.

It sounds like you work in a very cool office. I'm very envious of you.
From this event I would like a Rose gold iPad Air 3 (or whatever they are calling it) with pencil support and the smart connector to use with accessories like an Apple Smart Keyboard! Please and thank you!
Maybe there won't be an Apple Watch "2", as such. Perhaps they'll just quietly upgrade the internals a little, put out some new bands and colours, and still call it the "Apple Watch". That way the Watch can continually evolve and they don't have to deal with negative press and people getting pissed off that their watch is outdated (even though it will be) because of a new model every year. They won't even have to hold events to upgrade the Watch.
This makes the most sense out of anything to me.

That was my first thought too, I love the keynotes even if I'm not in the market for anything that gets walked out there in a particular iteration.
Yes! And why can't I upvote that about forty times...The image in the announcement reminds me of the blue wallpaper from OS X Panther / Tiger.
They say be careful what you wish for. I guess hoping is safe enough Is there anything to suggest they're releasing a Watch soon with a cellular radio? I just don't see the purpose of a 3G watch at this point. No one is replacing their phone with a Watch yet.
Yeah the whole of Apple must have been working on that one, eh.

No. That's the bottom.
As someone who owns a Watch, I think being able to do iMessages and other small internet tasks when you don't want to bring your phone with you would be a great feature. It would also open up the Watch to a wider market than just iPhone owners.
Its all gravy.

I will never understand why Apple felt compelled to pay $3 billion just to hire him and Dr. Dre...
Exactly and that's the problem. Everybody claims they want innovation and revolution but they don't know what that is.
Apple can finally have a 1 week battery and people will still say that is not enough. They can implement wireless charging and people will say that's old because the competition has done it since 3 years ago. Same with OLED screens.
To me the charging of the Apple Watch looks like innovation: no ports, magnetic, no hassle, the watch doesn't look like a gadget that needs something plugged in, everything in a small device and they still say is nothing out of the ordinary.
And let's not talk about the different implementations of the haptic engine. Making something unmovable feel like it has a button and is moving and incorporate that in a thin profile is something nobody has done before and people don't pay attention.
The biggest improvements to the Watch that Apple could make are a FaceTime camera and the ability to work independently of an iPhone because it's technically an overpriced accessory as of right now. You can't really consider the Watch to be its own product category as long as it's dependent on the iPhone to function.
I agree. Personally, i think it'll be more than simple watch bands. I'm willing to bet they'll release a more sophisticated fitness band that has better monitoring capabilities.
Not to me!!!
Longest any of us have ever waited to see an iPad update, since inception.
& it looks well worth the wait. =)
Largest leap ever- new screen tech supporting thinner unit w/ brighter & crisper color & (of course) support for Apple Pencil!! Four speakers (twice as loud, if you believe the iPad Pro reviews) is VERY welcome on a machine that people play a lot of Netflix & YouTube on... camera flash I don't care about, but the possibility of a jump to 4gb RAM is the really big one!
You and I and everyone else on this site would most likely be down for this, or at least understand it.
However, Apple is all about usability and an easy learning curve. They must appease everyone from tech-savvy 12 year olds to 80 year old grandmas. I doubt anyone else in my family even knows what cortana and Google now is. Of course, they could just set Siri (and apple's own native apps) as default for the non-techies, and let us enjoy it
