Apple Store Goes Down Ahead of 'Far Out' Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and More Expected

[Jumpthesnark]

Really? But iJustine is already in Cupertino

Look, no one can predict the future. Especially here on MR, where factual accuracy goes to die (I mean the word "rumors" is in the site's name). But according to earlier stories the announcement was being pre-recorded a month ago, and there would be a live component, likely hands-on product demos for accredited media folk for after the presentation.

Tim Cook better not be able to wait until I’ve tried it.

He better hope I have a good morning

Apple VR Headset coming today. They’ve been telegraphing it, but no one has been paying attention.

Phil in space? Far out? Bundles of Apple services? Bundled insurance? Coincidence? I think not!

 

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

I’m in the same boat, but I am really going to miss my 13 mini

Yeah I got ya buddy. I’m going to miss the rounded edges of the iPhone 11 Pro. It’s so smooth! But I read a lot so Promotion is kinda tempting. Maybe, maybe I’ll manage to hold off for just one more year. Lol. We shall see..

 

[madeirabhoy]

whats the approx timeline between announcements and watches/phones actually sitting in shops or in stock from amazon?

 

[Pezimak]

Oh, you mean just like the world being spherical? So much misinformation on the interwebs these days. Next you'll be telling us Elvis is dead and I was adopted.

He isn’t dead he just went home…

 

[AirunJae]

I wonder what shade the rumored purple will be? I'll probably just end up getting silver anyway.

You are literally Gengar, you're getting the purple iPhone regardless of the shade.

For the last few years, I’ve been more curious than excited about iPhone announcements. I know part of it is the fact that I’m getting old / I am old, but I think that we’ve been at the point where smart phones and watches have hit their peak as far as performance and material utilization goes and the updates are more iterative than revolutionary.

Excited to watch 40 min of game developers showing off what the new iPhone can do. /sarcasm.

Usually they announce on a Tuesday or Wed then the following Friday preorders start. Delivery a week later if all goes smoothly.

Last minute rumor:

There will be One More Thing: NFL Sunday Ticket.

When I was a child I used to watch these events live. Now I go to the verge for the highlights and snippy comments.

Have times have changed.

Last minute rumor:

There will be One More Thing: NFL Sunday Ticket.

Wouldn't shock me if they mention it, even though the deal would start for the 2023 season, it still be good timing since lots of people are now in football mode.

I doubt it'd be a "One More Thing" moment though.

One more thing is dead. There was only one ‘one more thing’ and that was with Steve Jobs.

He’s dead. Thanks for the memories Steve. Rest in peace.

I’m sure you’d be proud of Apple today.

 

[MozMan68]

I guess I subconciously scheduled to be on a flight shortly after the event starts. Will read the updates on here and watch tonight in the comfort of my fancy hotel room.

EDIT: Oh..and hoping for a HUGE Maps update (LookAround for the entire US, please!!!)

This is just factually incorrect, they've done "One More Thing" since Tim took over.

 

[antiprotest]

I'm so looking forward to find out in what ways I will be disappointed that I'm getting excited.

 

[Lucas Curious]

Alright, folks, prepare your wallets…

prepare your wives

 

[DarkCole]

Seriously hoping for a purple color today on the pro line! That alone will be enough of a reason for me to upgrade.

 

[Flow39]

Getting my bonus the day before the iPhones should launch next week...I'm looking forward to (possibly) upgrading for the first time in 3 years. If I'm still not blown away by the 14 Pro, my 11 Pro Max will easily last me another year though, so I'm not worried.

 

[Abazigal]

Good night everyone. It's 11 pm right now and here's to waking up tomorrow morning to something new that I can spend some money on.

 

[rgeiger97]

Two hours!

 

[CmdrLaForge]

No. Pre-orders should should go live on Friday

So why is the store down if we cannot order today….

Sad but true…

Purple on the Pro line is something else. I’m imagining purple stainless steel and preparing to fork over my $$$
