California Theatre Decorated In Anticipation of Apple's Media Event

[Aluminum213]

1. "Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for coming. We have some exciting things to show you!" - Tim
2. Update on the business, specifically iPhone 5, iPods, and store openings
3. Update on Macs, specifically Mountain Lion and the 15" rMBP
4. Updated iMacs, Mac Minis (same design, no retina, spec bump). No Mac Pro. Available Today
5. 13" rMBP - "Great for college students!" - Phil. Available Today
6. "iPad Air". Available 11/2
7. Demo of iBooks 3.0, iBooks Author Update. Available Today
8. Demo of games/apps with education focus (Guided Access)
9. Cases and adaptors (education focus - "kids can be a bit rough on iPads, haha!", "plug it into the projector in your room, it just works.")
10. iPad 3 updated with Lightning connector. iPad 2 discontinued. Today

----------



My guess is that iPad Airs (I'm on that naming convention bandwagon) will be available in the standard black/white/anodized aluminum, but Apple will offer cases/covers in a wide variety of colors aimed at the education market.

Pretty much how I see it going down

Good summary, but you forgot iTunes 11. Which I would guess to be available tomorrow, as well.

Good call. Added.

Colors...

My guess is the whole colored thing is actually related to the ipad minis which will come in different colors. Supposedly they want to get more into the educational sphere and since that's the device that they are most likely to do it with I think we will see colored iPad minis...

That wasn't the case with the first iPad keynote (and the banners with the paint splattered Apple logo), although in this case we have different posters with different background colors. I guess we'll find out soon!!

Maybe Apple will introduce a new product just like they did when they were last there!

iCar? or new trainers to end the collaborations with Nike too?

Wow, nice job, that's a +great+ predicted outline of the event.

Very excited at the Apple media event and product launches/updates! I was wondering, will this be streamed live via Apple's website or YouTube? In Ireland, it will be about 6pm when this event starts. Thanks.

 

[TechOnThe.]

I don't know If this was mentioned yet, but notice how the Apple logo on the poster gets smaller symbolizing "mini"?

 

[alzapa]

Is it weird of me to hope they come in colors? I know I am a guy and hoping for different colors is "childish", but I really want a blue Ipad mini. This will be my first Ipad, the wife finally said yes

I'm still not sold on the business case for discontinuing the iPad 2. It will have a higher profit margin than the Mini/Air, so how would it benefit Apple to not offer the iPad 2 to consumers as long as it remains a top seller?

I'm still not sold on the business case for discontinuing the iPad 2.

Despite this being a logical step, the missing shortage of iPad2 doesn't really indicate it. I think.

Hello ignorance. I seek spoiler-free page on the event keynote like there previously were on Macrumors. Apple.com will pop the new products right in your face before letting you watch the keynote. Smart Ass.

 

[4God]

I want "one more thing."

want "five more things"

Shrinked apples: couldn't be more obvious.....

You're on to something for sure...wish it was a "shrinked" MacPro.
