It would be very hard to not know anything as the media will be all over the event. You pretty much have to shutdown the Internet for 3 hours or lock yourself in a dark room...

On past events when is the stream availabile to view afterwards?

I'm at work until 8pm and wouldn't mind just watching it in full later than the actual event at 6pm (UK).

I have an iPad, iPhone, iMac and Apple TV so either will so

Thanks

Teeth getting cleaned at 1PM. They called to change to 9AM and then back to 1PM again. Oh well, I was happy for a few hours anyway. :(

I wonder if Apple is simplifying their product line with the iPhone 5C... Right now the carriers sell three iPhone generations: the 4, 4S, and 5. Obviously the new flagship will be the 5S, but I'm thinking the 5C will replace all previous generations as the new low-end option, leaving only two generations to be sold. If the 5C really comes in at $400 (contract-free), then it would be at the "free with contract" price point, so why keep anything less expensive in the lineup?

Then they would only manufacture 2 generations of phones, both standardized on the new taller aspect ratio, Lightning connector, and LTE. I would expect they'll only offer the 5C in one storage capacity. That would reduce the total number of SKUs that they have to manage, which would make it easier to manage all the new SKUs with the various new color options.

I'm thinking that managing essentially two different models (5S and 5C), even in numerous colors, would be easier to manage, since the internals for a given model are the same, and it's just the housings that you have to make differently (even then, it's the same part, just different color). Managing three different generations means there are hundreds of internal parts you have to manage separately, all the different chips and circuits and switches and cables that are different between generations.

The livestream had died halfway through the event almost everytime I've seen it. I am not going to bother myself this time and just watch the recorded event :D

Hmm, I don't recall having that problem with this year's WWDC keynote which was also streamed live...

I never understand people who want a spoiler free topic, though I'm quite certain there will be a live stream and thus no need for it anyway. I'm pretty sure anything they announce has already been spoiled for avid MacRumors readers, regardless.

And Snape killed Trinity with Rosebud.

How long are your lunchbreaks dude? The keynotes are usually up to two hours long

It's hard to say where it starts and ends - the whole thing is on the clock. We're a start up with a very casual work environment. I haven't tried, but I suspect you could throw porn up on any of our big screens and so long as none of our clients are present, nobody would care.

I hope Phil Schiller says his ultimate catch phrase at the end of the event. "Can't innovate my ass!".

Gotta love Phil!

Yea, and the 'innovation' he was talking about involved sticking fairly standard pc components into a black tube that kinda looks like a trash can.

Wow, maybe their next innovation will be sticking standard pc components into something shaped like a starfish! Then, maybe something shaped like a human head! At this rate, the 'innovations' at Apple may know no bounds!!!

Really what Apple should do is start the keynote at 10:00AM Greenwich mean time. Then tell people not start watch or reading until 10AM local time.

Fairly standard PC components? I think you need a reality check. The new Mac Pro is a BEAST. And so what if the design is a cylinder. It's radical and its less than half the size of the old Mac Pro which gives it more portability. Apple hasn't had ugly hardware since the original iMac and as long as Jony Ive is around, it will never have ugly hardware.

The problem with waiting until after the Keynote is posted is sometimes ordering has already happened and if you want to get in the queue, you need to know what to order!

I think the iPad 4 for was available for order right after (maybe a few hours) the keynote. Can't remember for the iPhone 5 (did not get). I think I got up in the middle of the night for the iPhone 4s ordering.

Yes, fairly standard PC components... I'm sure the engineers would be glad to hear that ignorant comment

lol spoiler free? Over a keynote? "Apple just said something about the new iPhone, I can't tell you but it's awesome" "Oh wow that feature is so cool!"
