Apple Sends Invites for 'Let Us Loop You In' Media Event on March 21

11 pages and not 1 mention that the colours are a visual dog whistle to China?

Red & Gold - going to be popular in China. Cool that the use of colour to sell products like iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches will help possibly bring colours to Macs

Pretty much identical to my prediction, except for the Apple Watch I'm not predicting a small chance for a new casing material, but rather a price drop or new faces. Also, iOS 9.3. Almost forgot about that!

Ah yes. Forgot iOS 9.3. That's fairly obvious though. I almost said a price drop on the Apple Watch, but I don't think that will come officially until a new model comes out. For now they've been giving retailers quite a bit of leeway on pricing.

I don't believe we'll see new colours of Sport band. There's already quite a few of them and any more would surely confuse things further, there's too many to choose from! But choice is never a bad thing, just worried about them having to produce lots of stock.

A new style/material of band would be nice and I like your suggestion of nylon. I 'hacked' a nylon Daniel Wellington 'Nato' band and it looks kinda neat although was a pain to do, something like that but official would be nice.

I wouldn't like to see too many more collaborations with 'high end' brands and designers, cause they end up producing products which are outrageously expensive due to the names attached to them. I think maybe there shouldn't be too much of that.

I think the new colors may replace some older colors, or be tweaks to them. The Apple Watch is a fashion accessory as well, so it's good to keep current with trends.

I'm not sure what I would pick as a new case material. Maybe tungsten? I have a tungsten wedding band that I really like. Would be nice to match it. Preferably I'd like an Apple Watch that is more of a medium gray than silver or black—without having to go down to the sport model. If I had the sport model my watch face would be scratched to crap by now!

599 and 699 for a 4" iphone? Nuts.
Click to expand...

What's crazy about that? It's rumored to be mostly the same specs as the 6s. The original iPhone was $499/$599. But after that, from 2008–2013 the iPhone 3.5" to 4" was sold for $649/749 and sometimes even higher capacities for $849 off contract. Are you new to Apple products? So what's the problem with a 4" iPhone starting at $599? Personally, I think we'd be lucky to get $599. They might just charge the same as they do for the 6s. But I feel like there needs to be at least a little separation. There's absolutely no way it will be lower than $549 if the rumored specs are accurate.

Guesses for what "let us loop you in" means?

It's finally here --
01-APPLE-iCAR-home-365x200.png


....A more modern example of human-in-the-loop computing would be Google’s Apple's self-driving cars. While some at Google Apple would prefer to cut the human out of the loop, regulations currently require a steering wheel in the car and a driver behind that wheel — just in case the computer has a hard time predicting the movements of other drivers or a particularly difficult judgment call needs to be made....

But skylake Xeons are not available yet

Will they be available by WWDC? I said they're likely to be announced by then. Might ship a little later. Apple doesn't seem to have as much of a problem pre-announcing Mac Pro stuff.

The tagline references the location of the event (Infinite Loop) and that's it.

Among everything else, I think they'll give us a preview of the new campus during this event.

Yes, but you'll never convince the Sherlock Holmes around here converting the pantone color # used into letters then making anagrams out of those + "loop" to solve the certain riddle Apple is posing.

And for them here is the answer: black polo. That is the color and type of shirt TC will be wearing. :)

The very first rumors stated of the 4" iPhone following the latest iPod touch. If they could jam the updated phone internals into that chassis I would buy it in a second. For people that want a smaller screen, have you held the latest iPod touch - so much thinner and the perfect size. Also, it has nice colors blue, red, etc. The loop hint makes since for that. Hoping...

the IOS remote app will get a new update, making it better to use, it's linked to Apple TV OS which will be updated, so I suppose they'll promote that as a Major new killer feature.

the apple watch app will be updated to allow pairing of more than 1 apple watch, so that's another killer feature

I think WWDC will be worth watching this event seems to be BOOOOOOOOOOORING
 
You're on the right track, but it's specific to a few IOS features, setting default apps...and also the apple watch. Open up all the APIs on the watch, allow devs full access.

Obviously new bands and straps.

Regarding the colours in the invite: new ipads in all colours - space grey, silver, gold and rose gold.

also, notice the dark grey, and shading effects in the invite resembles the half-moon icon of NightShift feature...

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 :D

What if "let us loop you in" finally means that iOS 10 will integrate third-party applications as native handlers for email, text, phone calls, browsing, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders, voice integration, etc.?

I like Siri, but she's admittedly frustrating at times, and Google Now seems to understand context a lot more often. And others may like Cortana.

It could just be better integration with everything else, and maybe that will include third-party apps that have gotten too robust for iOS not to ignore any longer.

Siri just sent me all the available information via synthetic telepathy:

There won't be any Apple products with the 'Air' moniker anymore after this event. Apple will discontinue MacBook Air and rename the iPad Air as iPad Pro. iPhones will be named SE, ME and LE: at this event we will only see the 4" SE, but 4.7" ME and 5.5" LE will be introduced in September.
