Apple's September 7 Event Page Features Animated Space-Themed Logo

[MacRumors]

Apple will hold its first fall event on Wednesday, September 7, and the event is now featured on Apple's website. As with all Apple events, if you visit the page on an iPhone or iPad, you can see an interactive augmented reality easter egg.

For the September 7 event, which is titled "Far Out," Apple has designed a space-themed Apple logo and a black hole-style experience. Initiating the AR experience puts a black hole in the center of the room, which then shows stars in the shape of an Apple logo as you approach.

The stars continue to coalesce in and out of an Apple logo shape, and you can use pinch gestures to adjust the size of the black hole.

To view the AR experience, open up the Events website on an iPhone or iPad and tap on the Apple logo. From there, you can scan the area around you to see the logo in real time, or view it in "Object" mode to get a clearer picture of what it looks like without having to navigate your physical environment.

Apple's event will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 7. In addition to being streamed on YouTube, the event can be watched through the events webpage and in the Apple TV app. If you're unable to watch, you can tune in to the MacRumors live blog on the site or follow along with our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

Anyone else thinking that "Far out" is a reference to the screen being "far out" towards the edges - no notch hint

Space Gray, Space Black, Starlight, Moonlight. The space reference must be a new space-themed color coming soon.

Because they can’t mean the literal thing (iPhone zoom) since they don’t have a 10x optical zoom yet, and we’re not getting that until at least next year.

I was thinking far out because of the rumored feature where you'll be able to send a text for help when you don't have any service, say on a hiking trip in some Canyon or if you get stranded on the international space station with no service.

Far out = better optical & digital zoom lens quality?

Black holes 👀

With the new iPhone 14 Pro lineup. The future is looking brighter. Larger than life!

Far-out = Astrophotography

 

[BuffaloJim]

Finally … an astrophotography mode that can compete with the Google Pixels.

Or at least I can continue to hope.

 

[Realityck]

The AR easter egg tradition continues, that started two years ago.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I think the black with white only on it may be a reference to an always on display. And the appearance of stars may be a reference to the much improved camera being even better for astrophotography. The last iPhone could do a pretty decent job with the Milky Way (I tested it in rural Vermont where there were very clear skies and it was beautiful), so I bet they highlight that here as well.

For a second there, I thought that was a gigantic spinning Everything Bagel. Whoosh!

Black holes 👀

The phones will have such a strong attraction that not even the money in your wallet can escape.

Space Gray, Space Black, Starlight, Moonlight. The space reference must be a new space-themed color coming soon.

Black is the new black.

 

[psxp]

Better night sky photography I am thinking.

Black holes 👀

Apple marketing trying to use intense external forces to attract you to watch the Sept 7th event.

 

[C7 POWER]

My FAVORITE time of the year!! New iPhone time followed by the Pre Order panic, then the tracking from China obsession's!! LOL WHOO HOOO!! Cant wait for the Purple Pro Max!!

 

[jdclifford]

The cameras will be so great it will be like having the Webb telescope in the palm of your hand. You will be able to take pictures of the "Big Bang" in all its glory. BUT ONLY IF YOU ORDER THE 14 Pro MAX!

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

If you look hard enough, you can see Tim laughing at you

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

My FAVORITE time of the year!! New iPhone time followed by the Pre Order panic, then the tracking from China obsession's!! LOL WHOO HOOO!! Cant wait for the Purple Pro Max!!

It will be even crazier if iPhone comes straight from India. Whole different tracking route!

 

[peripatetic]

My wild prediction for the meaning of "Far Out": iPhone 14 adopts long-rumored satellite connectivity.

 

[rictus007]

A black hole? Maybe a reference to how they attract money

 

[-BigMac-]

innnnnteresting theme theyre running here.
There's always some sort of connection in the invite with what is presented.
The new camera zoom enables photos of stars? Idk but it's interesting

 

[Rockanrolero]

Those aren’t stars, those are Apple Watches

 

[JM]

That’s it! iPhone confirmed!
