Not to mention itunes has been erasing my playlists one by one on both my ipod and iphone!
What is wrong with everyone? Is everyone on this thread really high?
I don't think this appoints to anything other than Apple just being creative with the Yerba Buena window designs. It's not like their putting a secret message in it or anything saying "The new iPhone will have a stretched screen!", it's just some apps to make it more iOS and Apple themed.
^ Apple has done this before BTW. And there wasn't any damn secret messaging.
No I'm not one of Tim Cook's employees trying warning you different of the release, but can you all please just wait it out. Jeez
Ok Mr "No it all". Since there's no message in this window design, then what current app is missing in the photo??? U know the one we cant seem to identify.
Indeed!

what if the iPhone 5 is the same 3.5-inch screen? will everyone disappointed?
Cant speak for everyone, but I would be hella disappointed
My guess is that this hint is suggesting that the new iPhone will be both taller and wider as we can identify 8 apps in the photo. If the phone was taller by one row and wider by one column that adds 8 apps to the screen. Far fetched I know but it's fun guessing
I think this is a cool discovery even if it is insignificant, but the "possibly hinting at a taller iPhone 5" part should be dropped. That's what I call generating your own meaning, and really, it's obvious at this point that the iPhone 5 is going to be taller.
You realize by assuming someone reads 20+ link lists of speculation is truly idiotic when the first two pages of nothing is all one needs to come to the free time conclusion, right?
Clicking and glancing through it's clear nothing has been uncovered, period.

I wouldn't care except for the part where my AAPL shares drop 10% or something.

Beats audio is not a feature; it's a logo. As for the 4G LTE, it's pretty apparent that Apple keeps it out on purpose to generate hype when they do release it way late as part of their money-pumping marketing technique. People say it's because the tech is not mature enough, and that's a lie. My friend's Nexus has 4G LTE, and it works fine. But this doesn't bother me since my data plan is a mere 200MB/month, so I don't care how fast it is.
And many other features are left out because Apple and many of its customers want moderation when it comes to these things. Widgets and other stuff can be perceived as useless clutter.
The unknown next to the stocks, in blue is the App Store or Safari, but no idea what the green above it is. It could be the phone app.

Not a "know it all" yourself at least.

That would be the same troll action that apple pulled last year when all the rumors suggested that a taller next-gen iPhone would be released....and BAM!!!Tim Cook pulls out the iPhone 4S......rumors were totally incorrect...case leaks....broken...you get my drift...it would be crazy if Apple pulls this off again.....
And you clearly don't know what you're talking about. First of all, the existence of your friend's Nexus 4G is exactly why Apple wouldn't leave out LTE "as part of their money-pumping marketing technique". If they are, that's the stupidest technique I've ever heard of. You know why? BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND ALREADY BOUGHT A NEXUS 4G!!! Do you not see the contradiction of our own post? Apple lost a sale by waiting. They would not intentionally lose the sale unless they realized the product they offered would be sub-par and therefore they would rather not sell it until it meets their standards.
No, Apple is not holding out LTE to as some "money-pumping marketing technique". Also, do you not realize the Nexus 4G uses an LTE/CDMA chip that wouldn't work for the iPhone?? Apple was waiting for the MDM9x15 chip to be ready before the launched an LTE device.
last year got so much rumors of bigger-screen iPhone, what tear-drop design, then same-design iPhone 4S was reveal .haha.
Unless they change the phone to be able to lock orientation both in portrait OR landscape, I couldn't disagree more.
Wow I am amazed that people picked this apart. This just goes to show you that Apple designs are under incredible scrutiny these days. I don't think it reveals any secrets about the event just the secret behind the design chosen for the side of the building.
