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

The 4in iPhone better have the same body design as the newer iPhones. It also better have 3D Touch, and every other premium feature. If it doesn't have all these things, mark it up as another Flapple (Apple flop).

Thank you for explaining what Flapple meant.

Full WebRTC support in Safari? Apple would be loopy not to keep up here.

Before everyone jumps to conclusions about the tagline (oops too late), realize that the event is taking place at their town hall located at.... 1 Infinite Loop... And will likely be the last event at that location. I'll just let that stand.

don't spoil the fun.
Loop --> pooL . Apple Pool confirmed.

 

[coolfactor]

sounds quite boring.

I hope to be impressed. It must be getting more and more difficult for Apple to continue to out-do themselves on these events, so we have to give them some leeway on that. Not every event is going to be breathtaking.

I really, really, really hope they deliver the 4" iPhone at an affordable price. The iPhone 6 is just a tad too much (in Canadian currency), and getting the 5s just feels like investing in outdated technology, when combined with a two-year mobile contract.

Seems like a small event so...i'm not expecting anything earth shattering. Lot's of time left this year for the big reveals...

 

[darkknight14]

I think we may be in for a few surprises at this event, iPads, iPhones (low end), Watch bands and iOS 9.3 will all be highlighted of course.

Craig said in a recent interview about a big update coming to iTunes, I wonder if that will get some screen time..

No. It's clearly about the Space Black Milanese Loop. Event headliner.

Rotten Apple = Rapple

Sell your stocks before the event. It's going to be very underwhelming and it'll take a hit.

 

[Crosscreek]

A new MC would be nice.

Fruit Loop?

Don't you mean short?

 

[MacRazySwe]

This has got to be the least interesting invite so far. My expectations are lower than they've ever been for an event.

...However... This is a good thing! Maybe Apple will surprise, once again. It's been a good while since last time.

 

[Jal217]

No... Why should those who want a 4in phone be punished with an inferior device? Besides, I remember at one point Apple would brag about the fact that each one of their products contains their premium features. Just goes to show you how far they have drifted away from what made them great.

Wait wait wait, as far as I can tell they still do this. All watches have the same features, and the iPhones of the same year are only differentiated by the screen size and the optical image stabilization. All of this other stuff is rumors. Saying they've drifted based on rumors is ridiculous.

I'm hoping for a CPU bump in the macbook line

A bump to 0 GHz. The Macbook line will be discontinued, alongside any other Macs and OS X.

Why would they lose such a good business?

 

[acidsoul]

Loop as in infinite?
Maybe it'll be mainly about their new campus.

Side note, I'm fairly new to Apple products, only from the iBook G4 after they hooked me with the iPod and iTunes.

I know that their style is to sort of put you in to a loop of their products, for ten+ years I willingly chose to be in that loop since it offered me satisfaction and haven't regretted it.
Sadly, I'm not sure if it'll stay that way recently and hopefully this next event will still let me think my choice was right.

 

[BillyMatt87]

New watch straps. Is that really what Apple is nowadays? A fashion company?

I hanker for the good old days when Apple launched proper hardware which blew away the competition.

Innovation my arse.....

If I can remember correctly, one of the things Jobs would've never wanted Apple to be was a fashion company. I guess that's what happens when you hire the former CEO of Burberry to take over as Retail VP.

 

[rweavere]

Look at the shape in the top left corner containing all 4 phone colors on the invite. It's the same curved edge shape as the 6. It even represents the back case (darker color) meeting the screen (lighter color). The iPhoneSE will be the same shape as the 6!

Pink Panther says: "I have a suspicious feeling about this keynote."
Cool Joe (cigarette camel): (puffs cigarette): "Don't worry...it's gonna be COOL."
Darth Vader: "I hope so ...for your sake."

 

[jonnysods]

Will it be streamed? On keynote days, our whole office orders food in and watches together.

Hook me up with a job at your place!

 

[yaxomoxay]

Probably, but he was very flexible. He cared about success, not about being right.

Why is the stock going to take a hit? It's not like Apple is booking the biggest venue in San Francisco for this. Nor has Tim or anyone else set expectations for something big.

Why would that be sarcasm? Most people who want a smaller iPhone want it for the size, not a cheaper price, so if Apple tries to pull it off as a low end model it won't sell well.

I agree with where your coming from never was I doubting that, but I feel Apple would create a 4inc non-flag ship iPhone.

As you say they have drifted away so far.

 

[Benjamin Frost]

as awful as it might sound... I would buy one.

As should Tim Cook, so he can flagellate himself for buying Beats.

Only joking.

 

[QCassidy352]

Part of me seriously wonders if they will announce the end of the Mac and OS X.

Spoiler Alert:
No, they won't.
