you saw ipad pro leak new design? no, only CAD drawing...i think Apple managed to keep the non iphone product close to the chest, no parts leaks from any new ipad, new mac mini, imac or so on...
Got a tip for us?

Apple Starts Decorating Howard Gilman Opera House Ahead of Next Week's Event

I seriously think it’s gonna be a huge event. I think the Mac Pro will be announced. It makes sense, under promise over deliver. “We’re working really hard on it but it’s a 2019 product” but we’ve managed to pull it together now. Instead of the pro community being disappointed, we’ll be surprised they managed to bring it to market earlier. And honestly the amount of companies that have been forced down different paths because the lack of update is astonishing. Bare in mind they don’t have to sell as many units because they are way more expensive than MacBook Pro’s, or the cheaper far greater selling products.
It's not about the name or an idea of an "opera house" in the sense of perception, but rather the structure of one. The seating of an opera house isn't like the seating of the venues Apple normally uses. It has balconies with optimal / priority seating to aid visually and acoustically. I have a hard time believing that a company like Apple, that focuses on visuals and acoustics, a company which can pretty much have an event at any venue they want ... picked an opera house randomly / because it amused them. That they didn't think about how it would be presented in such a layout, but yet put so much attention to detail in the visuals of the invitations.
"Wall Street Journal, we don't care if you arrive late, you have to sit on the third floor, first come first served."

"Really wonder why they are doing it on the east cost instead of "at home" on the Apple Campus. Nice to see it coming though."
Maybe the announcement of the choice of the East Coast location? Hoping Tim will introduce James Taylor to sing "Carolina In My Mind"

For so long, I have felt like the Mac options were limited because of being outdated or badly designed. I owned a cheese grater Mac Pro, but refused to upgrade to the thermal pocket that was the trash can Mac. I was the previous owner of a Mac mini, but after they lost the quad option and starting gaining weaker processors they lost me. In the meantime I had the touch-bar MacBook Pro, but did not prefer the new keyboard. Then starting looking at iMac but figured I would wait until they updated it. Now I'm caught between all of these, so this event has me more excited than any of Apple's events ever, can't wait!
I agree, the guitar work is pretty nice.I actually really like it. Especially those electric guitar riffs. Piano + guitar is one of my favorite fusions.
Shazam didn't turn up any results.
I thought it sounded a little like Joe Satriani; but not quite enough to have me poke around and try to find it in his catalog.
Hope so too, but doubt it. So close to the event there should have been more rumors to confirm it.
Oh, I thought you were saying that Apple looked at Tim Cook's calendar and decided to hold the event in NYC because it would be more convenient for his travel schedule.
I'm sure it goes the other way and he is adjusting his travel schedule so he is ready to go for the event. And he won't rush out of NYC and instead will stick around to do follow up meetings and maybe TV shows and such.

Oh, I agree. They thought of everything. I'm just saying that it isn't necessarily music focused because the theater is an opera house. I think they started with thinking East Coast and NYC particularly would be a good idea. Then they thought Brooklyn would be cooler. Once you get that far, BAM starts to become an obvious choice. I'm not unbiased here since I'm from Brooklyn and got married at BAM. But I'd say it is one of the more iconic venues in Brooklyn if not the most iconic.
Maybe we will get Home Pod 2 with better sound and that will work well in an opera house. But besides that I don't necessarily see a music connection because the event space has good acoustics.
It's possible, but I doubt it's a music-related. I think whatever it is, they just want the event to be experienced, and to me it's too much effort for a mere iPad event. I don't think even a new HomePod would call for that much effort, and the next HomePod they'd drop would probably be the smaller one so that makes it less so. The only two things that would require that much effort is: augmented reality glasses, or the Apple Car, but I don't think they're anywhere near ready to announce those (maybe two years) ... but when they do, they'll care about the event experience.
The Mac Pro is the only thing semi-realistic to me, and even that's kind of iffy. Is the Mac Pro really significant enough to put that much effort into an event? Possibly. If they've done something revolutionary, which it seemed like they were aiming to, and people have been waiting for a long time. Color it the "new era of the Mac".
But if they only announce iPads, and MacBooks, I'm gonna laugh. smh. Watch it be a simple "art" event, and the "theatre" is a reflection of art, lol.
Kinda makes me want to go (I'm in Manhattan).

I always kinda felt this was a bit over the top, Apple decorating these events... It matters more whats indie the building, not out..
Just put a sign up and leave at it..... Otherwise, it's basically Apple showing how good they are to everyone.
I'm starting to agree, just release products online silently (like they do sometime), instead to talking about it on WWDC just to get money from attendees. They can still showcase them on front page.

I live in Brooklyn and could walk to BAM from my house. So I'd like to go just to see what I can see. Sadly I have a conference to attend in Manhattan that day. So I won't be able to watch the keynote live either.
But I think we are getting the full assortment of Macs. The rumors are strong.
