Apple's iPhone 15 Event Page Goes Live, Features Animation Instead of AR Easter Egg

[iZac]

Two weeks lead time is quite generous, normally they put out invites the week before, no?

OK, for teaser theories ... err, the speckles look like grains of sand so ... the iPhone Ultra is sandblasted titanium?

It's animated? Sound? I tried Safari, Safari Technology Preview, and Firefox and it's just a simple silent static image for me. Same thing on my iPhone, just a silent static image.

I also didn’t get sound. Do you at least see the “play” button in the lower right of the black area of the header?

Me too ☹️

So Grey/ Dark blue iphone 15 pro, right ?

Yeah, real inspiring colors. (not)

 

[TechnicallyAMechEngineer]

I think the dust is a reference to DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) i.e. “metal 3D printing”.

This was my thought exactly.

Nope. No play button anywhere. Same thing on my phone, my wife's, my iMac (in three different browsers), our MacBook and a work iPad. I mean, at this point I think people are kidding around saying it's animated.

Maybe it means Apple will be introducing their own glitter cases. 🤪

I had sound with mine. I can’t remember the link I clicked on since it was on another thread.

"the Events page features an animated Apple logo made from grains of a metallic material. The grains float off into the distance continually, for a swirling effect. It has not gone unnoticed that the Apple logo is a metallic gray and blue shade, which happen to be two of the colors rumored for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max."

Kudos for the brilliant artwork on the Apple logo. This looks so cool, and Apple have pulled of the theme for this year's event, subtle again!

The curved line coming from the..."bottom"...of the apple logo looks like a butt
🤪

That's what I thought. Passing wind.

Wanderlust also means “restless” and the image appears to be a continuous, infinite loop of movement.

The main groove in the logo also resemble the grooves found in the watch where the lugs for the straps slide in.

It was animated on my Windows PC using Edge. The twitter post one in the OP message anyway.

Apple nailed it! Hands down! Exciting times ahead!!!

I just love the animation and the music in the background. Only Apple can pull it off. So powerful! 💥

Right on.

Interesting ... anyone else notice that despite all the hate towards X/ahem - Twitter that Apple STILL chose to push this special event on that platform first and foremost?!

Right on.

Agreed! That’s a good point. Makes me wonder why Apple didn’t use Threads or Mostadon to push the special event? The answer is right there!

Excited!! Surprised that there is no AR invite

 

[Tagbert]

Reminds me of the animated murals in Foundation.

Obviously this means that Tim Cook will step down and hand over control to… Tim Cook.
This is the start of the genetic dynasty. 😉

It’s just a video. Perhaps you are seeing a prerelease cached version?

The highlight for me is usually Craig's new hair do

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

Yes same here! We were able to enjoy the latest and greatest tech with camera enhancements during the summer!
I remember in 2009, I was able to take my new 16GB White iPhone 3GS with me on my summer vacation. I shot so many videos on it, and those. memories are preserved.

Same! That was my first iPhone (except black). Made the start of summer more fun!

Reminds me of the animated murals in Foundation.

And the intro in season 1 (which signifies the crumbling of a dynasty…)

Miss the AR element

Ah no music. I AM on the beta, wonder if that. would be a difference?

 

[Killbill2]

Empire is not impressed.

It's funny but as a kid I used to hate September so much because it meant summer vacation was over and school was starting.... but as an adult it's my favorite time of the year... New iPhone announcement and the start of Football season.
