I know this may sound dumb to some, but can someone explain to me how this affects the rumored iPad event on the 15?

Very interesting. Here was last year's schedule
Tuesday, 10/16: Invites to Event
Tuesday, 10/23: Event
Thursday, 10/25: Earnings
Friday, 10/26: Pre-order
Friday, 11/2: On-sale
We'll see how this year lines up. Already a slightly different schedule by having the earnings call on Monday - and maybe a sign that Apple expects to beat the numbers and dominate the news cycle for the week.
I can never remember. . .do these calls follow major product launches typically or precede them?
If you'll remember back to last year, the iPad 4 and mini were announced two days before the Q4 earnings call (OCT 23rd and 25th).
*edit*
And they announced the iPad 4/mini media event on the 16th. I assume we'll be seeing the same thing in the next couple weeks.
Earnings. Thank you Apple. Whatever.
Please don't forget to inform about the new ipad, ipad mini, macbooks and apple tv as well.
mavericks is 100% for sure coming soon though.
Here we go, countdown to once again not being able to meet unrealistic expectations, and the Apple is doomed comments.![]()
*sigh*
These "usually" happen every three months, as dictated by the securities exchange commission & have f * * k - all to do with product releases.
So...
Tuesday, 10/15: Invites to Event
Tuesday, 10/22: Event
Friday, 10/25: Preorder (if they allow)
Monday, 10/28: Earnings
Wednesday: 10/30: Mavericks
Friday: 11/1: New iPads, rMBP, MP, etc..
I understand that; but you can't tell me that Apple doesn't strategically time product launches to coincide around the times of these quarterly earnings calls when it can to give investors something juicy to sink their teeth into.
Mountain Lion GM was released a month before the final build.I feel like it must be coming sooner. Why would they release a GM and then have the official build come out a whole month later unless it has bugs they must correct.

*The GM was the final build for public release.
Actually, this is a week later than normal (look back at past several years). Could be interesting.
