Apple to Hold Media Event on December 2 'Honoring Favorite Apps and Games of 2019'

[satchmo]

Cook will come on and give some insane number of apps downloaded which at this point is irrelevant. I mean do we care if it’s 1.8 or 2.5 billion?

He’ll then proclaim Photoshop for iOS as ‘amazing, amazing!’

Seriously it’s probably just a way to thank developers and keep them from jumping ship.

 

[DVNIEL]

Damn, this is how you negative people must look at your desk...

 

[LeonardXW]

How about a services bundle?
I would love to see Apple Music + iCloud Storage + Apple TV + bundle.

 

[Cleartz]

Unless a product gets announced, I feel like this event will be boring. I hope I'm wrong. If Apple release new apps, that would be great. The numbers will be interesting.

 

[triangletechie]

The News/TV event was a complete bore. I guess they want 2 of those this year.

 

[ErikGrim]

This will 100% be an award ceremony to celebrate developers with no other distractions. Stop trying to read the tea-leaves.

It took me a while to figure out your post. I couldn't understand why you were talking about Norway. 🤪

Anyhow, it's always possible to have One More Thing, but I'm not counting on any hardware releases either, even though I'd love to see the new iPad Pros then.

The event is in New York City at 4pm. On Cyber Monday. That’s not a time or day Apple has ever announced hardware. And I don’t see many of the usual suspects tweeting about it so we don’t even know who all got invitations.

For all we know Cook might not even be there. It might just be Schiller and developer relations.

Then again, not every Apple event has to be arranged/formatted to entertain you. I don't think you're even required to attend/watch.

 

[mejsric]

The event is honoring favorite apps and games of 2019, why you guys asking for hardware and another? Weird!

*whispers*
Apple Tags?

I recently upgraded my iPhone and 13" MBP. I am keeping my current iPad and AW Series 4 so Apple Tags are the only hardware I am really interested in at the moment.

You know that really boring part of the keynotes where they show off affinity blade or AR minecraft? It's going to be like that but for 2 hours... two long hours...

It's happening ! 16-inch macbook pro announcement !!!

Perhaps they will introduce it with micro SD card, VGA, HDMI, floppy disk drive, removable battery and DVD burner. Then all the Macrumors readers will be happy. LOL

 

[Marco Klobas]

Is everyone going to wear tuxedos? Is this going to be the app store academy awards? Will there be speeches by the winners thanking every tom dick & harry for their success?

Eddy Cue will wear colorful tuxedo.

So weird that the text at the bottom is in Myriad Pro instead of San Francisco. Is it even legit? So weird that they would overlook something like that

It is apparently not Myriad Pro, but simply the body text of the e-mail viewed in a Windows app.

 

[giebe]

Introducing the Apple AR Glasses...for better gaming experiences of all those AR apps.

Final cut for iPad would be awesome.

 

[Martius]

I think making an event just to talk about App Store would be really weird. I don't think they will launch some new hardware, but there have to be some new software from Apple (like that Final Cut for iPad that people are talking about in this thread).

That invite looks fake. The bottom font is wrong. It's Segoe (Microsoft's font). Top font is San Francisco. Apple would never use Segoe.

 

[Winni]

Final cut for iPad would be awesome.

The iPad does not remotely have the necessary compute power to make that fly in any meaningful way.

If they show off Xcode on an iPad, THAT would be a game changer -- because then the iPad would finally become a self-hosting platform. And Apple could stop developing and selling Macs altogether.

You cannot embed custom fonts to emails, so if that text is not a part of an image, it's rendered using the default system font. So if you recieve it on Windows, it will use Segoe.

Final Cut Pro for iPad....

I got tired asking for it and kind of gave up. Luma Fusion it's great and for what I do does the job. But competition is always good.

And you cannot turn it off, or go outside, or even look away!

 

[wim.v]

announcement of a virtual reality headset maybe?

 

[Zmmyt]

I’m in the market for an Apple TV and iPad. Here is hoping for some new hardware before the end of the year.

 

[freezelighter]

iPhone SE 2

I hope they do this so that we can see what happens if Apple stopped selling Macs / MacBooks. It sounds like a wonderful idea for those that live in a closet.

Apple Oscars.. sort of!

It’s the Appies!!
They can get a little brushed Aluminium “Tim” statue.
