Hopefully this is one big iOS device announcement and we get an ipad 5 and ipad mini (hopefully) retina.

0% chance.
Why distract users with so many new products at once?
Even copySumg only announces S4. Than Note 3 at different events and announces tablets at different event.
iphone event
Let me get this straight. Apple is taking last years model iPhone 5, throwing an s on it and now calling it a NEW phone to be released Sept. 10th. Hmmm, isn't that like taking last years food, putting this years label on it and re-selling it in the stores? Snake Oil Salesmen now working for Apple.

A low cost iPhone would make a really great pre-paid second phone indeed.
Heck it might even help pull me back to the iPhone as a primary.

We could all hope, but Apple couldn't do that much product advancements that quickly.

hope for
at least one Mac announcement after the iPhone 5s and it's plastic sibling are unveiled.
My 2010 iMac is running fine, but the itch to upgrade is starting up again.

do you understand that India and china cannot afford the iPhone? apple is going to serve those markets. it's not for you.
----------
just like the iPod did...oh, wait. it didn't.
----------
what world is that? here on earth apple's product announcements spawn main stream media attention and lines of people, as the products become industry best sellers in each category.
nope. there's nothing stopping thrives from threatening to cut your fingers off if you don't give your PIN, but it doesn't happen. either because 1) you give up the device and unlock it for them, or 2) muggers don't care that much because they sell them cheap to phone rings that can wipe them.
----------
really, whys that? profits reduced to a trickle? cash reserves near exhausted? lack of interest in their products...all the '90s symptoms? er, no.
----------
it's not for you.
but it's funny that your tired crit is the same one applied to the original Mac, the iPhone, the ipad, etc... I'll bet on apple over you.
Sadly many people have no idea what's going on in the wider world. They live in their own little bubble.
Apple need a cheaper iPhone to target emerging markets, they need a more colourful and youthful iPhone to appeal to the teenager and 20 something market. I think the iPhone 5C would address both those markets.
They also need a larger screen option but I expect that will come next year.
Predicting: This event will be a fail, just like iOS 7 is, customers will complain about buggy and ugly OS, fans will whine about iPhone 5S lacking innovations, new customers won't differentiate between iOS and Android and will buy cheaper Android phones, stock will drop, Cook will fire one or two more guys, Mansfield finally leaves Apple and this is the beggining of the end. iPhone 6 will be an ugly disaster due to a lack of original ideas. iWatch will be a bulky gadget with complicated unintuitive interface, Apple TV will never see the light of day.
Sony will then make a movie about a guy who destroyed the greatest company in the world in just 3 years, titled "How to Cook the Apple". Scott Forstall starring himself.
Then Scott tries to revive Apple, succeeds and Apple is in its glory again for the next 20 years. Then the story repeats itself.
End of prediction.

you muse be new. welcome. if you review apples product history you'll discover they've been doing a tick-tock strategy for iPhone exterior design. that strategy entails reusing the exterior while placing new hardware inside of it -- double the CPU, gpu, ram, storage, antennas, etc...
do you get so worked up over home receivers using the same body design for a couple years?
Didn't you hear!?!?! They made it so you can pause videos by looking away! And more importantly made it so you can turn this and the other new features off! /s
funny, people have been predicting DOOOOOM for apple since its inception. yet it just keeps sucking in more and more profit in more markets.
I'm surprised they let you turn that feature off. It could be great for advertisers. Imagine video ads that you *have* to watch. They could be used to subsidise the cost of phone: $0 up front cost and $0/month service charges! Provided you watch a mandatory 5-10 minutes of video ads per day.
Perhaps we will see something like this in the next generation of Google/Android phones?!
Well, I must have skipped the iPhone 5 and iPad 4 + iPad mini part.
Of course it's in a way smart, but nonetheless, if some person wanted to be at both events he'd have to take some time off twice within one month apart. I'm only sayin'...
The Samsung Galaxy Note started a new category. SGN2 has sold 10s of millions and spawned many copies to date.
Samsung has the highest resolution displays in 13 inch laptop, highest dpi. Samsung makes the best and highest quality display so much so that Apple has gone back on their word and will once again use Samsung displays. Off the top of my head.
