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!
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.
Yes. If you notice the curve to the left, it is in the shape of Infinite Loop - current Apple HQ. And if you look at the other curve which is a circle, that is the shape of the new mothership scheduled to finish this year.
Indeed.
I would say that there isn't even century upgrade demand for the Apple Watch. It's a one-hit wonder that has already reached its total audience. By that token, Apple can rest on their hind legs for a long time.
As to the iPhone, if the 4" only comes with 64GB, I shall be very annoyed.
This is what happens when you have to cater to Wall Street. Though when you think about it Apple products have alwyas made somewhat of a fashion statement going back to iPods and earbuds.
Damn! And here's me thinking socks were a new thingExcept that the "iSock" has already been made by Apple
My predictions:
– new Watch bands in collaboration with Victoria Beckham, Kylie At Home and Karl Lagerfeld
– sneak peek at OS X 10.12: "less new features, mostly focused on performance, under the hood upgrades and security, also we redesigned the Disk Utility icon so it is flat now"
– sneak peek at iOS 10: "less new features, mostly focused on performance, under the hood upgrades and security, also introducing a revolutionary new option where you can put icons on iPad Pro in six columns"
– one more thing: Apple Music 2 presented by Jim Dalrymple of The Loop: "finally, an Apple Music I can stand behind together with all my Megadeth live bootlegs!"

Impressive if:
they get a certificate of occupancy for the new Theatre by the 21st, and "looping in" means (and not the sole meaning) that all attendees park at Infinite Loop and are then shuttled over to the Theatre.

What I want from this event:
- New, significantly updated 15" rMBPs with Skylake CPU, a powerful dedicated GPU, Thunderbolt 3, 4k display and without redesign at the expense of features and performance.
- New updated Mac Pros with current Xeon CPUs, powerful current GPUs, and Thunderbolt 3
- An updated 4" iPhone with underwhelming specs, missing features, an outdated design, and a too high price.
- A rebranded standard size iPad with minimal improvements.

599 and 699 for a 4" iphone? Nuts.
Don't forget immediate availability. I want to walk down to the apple store at 12:01 and have it in my hands.

I still have a sealed full packet of these lol.
Lowendmac.com used to call them Road Apples, because they fell off the cart on the road to greatness and are compromised in some way. I feel like the base model MBA and rMBP are like this because their 128GB storage is ridiculously low for a computer in 2016, streaming and the cloud be damned.
This one sounds like a yawner. Take the products Apple has out today and put them in a 4" and 10" form factor with some lesser specs/features. That's it. Don't think they need a conference. And great, we get to see new colors and materials for watch bands. That will take up 10 seconds of time even if I was super interested in the Watch.
Only thing that can save this event is an "oh and one more thing."

I don't consider the 6 and 6+ design to be "premium". It's awkward to hold and doesn't look as nice as the 5S design. I really hope the design is much closer to the 5S. It could even be literally the same external chassis as the 5S with updated internals and I will be extremely happy, especially if the power button is on the top.
"Loop you in" makes me worried Apple is only going to increase the emphasis on the Watch again; let's hope they have something really special in store, because the current Watch is a pretty pointless companion device I don't care about.
Apple, you are already few years late, but please, new Airport Express!
Thanks!
Thanks!
