Apple's March 2016 Media Event: Spoiler-Free Video Stream [Video Posted]

im surprised at all the hate, given the fact new hardware is being released tomorrow. nobody really knows what the iphone SE holds since thereve been no solid leaks but plenty of case leaks suggestingg it will look at least a bit different than the 5S so youd think thered be anticipation.

i for one am excited as this is pretty much the first keynote i can remember where we dont already know everything. silly how people are focusing on how its going to be lame due to watch bands when apple is about to release an off-cycle phone.

If the "loop" refers to Apple bands. I hope we get lower price points for them. I mean $49 is ok for the sport bands but anything higher then $99, and I am out.

I know wishful thinking.

25 minutes to tell us how great the Apple Watch is progressing.

5 minutes to show us new watch bands.

You forgot the 30 mins about how customer data encryption is important to Apple and not giving these data to FBI matters to them...

As an aussie, and being early morning on a weeknight, I will be catching up on the pressentation later on.
My prediction for the keynote is as follows...

  • General Apple blah blah blah (new store openings, 1 trillion apps downloaded etc)
  • New watch bands (shouldn't even be mentioned but they will be because they have nothing else)
  • New iOS and OS X update info (about time. There has only been like 20 betas already. I want my night shift!)
  • iPad 7th Gen (what it really should be called and will be marketed as "the most expensive regular iPad ever")
  • New 4 inch iPhone (I really hope it's not called the SE. Please call it the mini.)
  • Then one more thing..., a 20 minute rant about Apple's stance on security and privacy that we already know all too well about!
I'll still watch the video as I have always done with every Apple event!

P.S, i'll also throw in that at some point there will be a really "boring" topic covered like education or medical research or books or something similar!

I have a strong feeling an all new iPhone design will be previewed to catch everyone off guard in the most pleasant way possible. The new design will be all glass, flat glass front and back with curved glass sides. The antenna bands will run inside the glass and be hidden from view, so will the dual camera be hidden inside. The front will use a semi mirror glass finish and the back will be painted inside in one of six colours; black, white, silver, gold, rose gold and deep blue. Someone please render this before it is unveiled in a few hours.

And then you woke up.
 
Two comments I would like to make

1) This event is such a minor one and the details are so widely known that I can't imagine too many people care as much about being spoiler free

2) I tried doing the spoiler free thing once... for the iPhone 4 announcement... Anyone remember that one? They had to edit out some facetime issues, so the keynote wasn't uploaded until like 3 in the morning. I wanted (needed!) to see the new iPhone before I went to bed, so I think I broke down at like 2am before going to sleep. Something about that experience made me realize that it's not really worth it :p
 
How come it starts at 5PM GMT today? They've always been 6PM GMT in the past. Daylight savings?
 
didn't know there are people who would watch apple's keynote like soccer game.

interesting

i guess i am the kind of people who want to know about the results first. plus keynote is not interesting anymore after jobs' death. maybe thats why i wouldn't care about the keynote that much now

Or, you know, people have different interests.

Not that I think you are right in your predictions, but since the leaked renders don't actually show the back of the device, maybe the back of the phone could be different than what we expect.

On the renders the front/sides edges do seem to be slightly curved instead of chamfered like the 5/5S, which would make it closer to the iPhone 4/4S design.
