Drone Aerial Footage Reveals Mystery Flint Center Building for iPhone 6 Announcement

[Gasu E.]

So... a strip club?

You may be right, as the next Apple store is going to be in Atlanta.

Update: Shortly after this post was published, Apple confirmed it will be streaming its September 9th iPhone event to compatible Mac, iOS and Apple TV devices.

You're sure they didn't mean compatible Samsung, Android, and Windows devices?

Does anyone else think it looks like a big watch? Take away the left and right lower platforms and tah-dah! A big watch.

I think you may be onto something.

I found another flyover video and took a screenshot, then photoshopped it a bit to try and get more details what's inside the structures. you can see that the ones on the left and right have some sort of tents or roofs inside.

The video: http://vimeo.com/105242123

Perhaps someone can get even more details.

Top portion looks like roof peaks.

I doubt it's a performance stage for the musical act at the end of the keynote. How awkward would this statement be at the end of the keynote -- "Ok, everyone, come join us outside for a special performance."

I'm thinking it's probably a demo area for the press.

Exactly it just can't be for a performance. It is most probably 98% surely a demo area

Wasn't there a story on here a month or so ago saying Apple were going to give their store layouts a makeover? Make them more amenable to selling jewelry-type items.

Maybe it's a prototype of the new store layout?

Watch try-on area. NFC checkout using iPhone 6. Bluetooth beacons. All that good stuff.

The idea of owning a drone like that excites me more than owning an iWatch or iPhone.

I have one and I can't blame you.

The powerbook G5 is finally here.

At this point, I feel like they should make a one off, just for giggles.

I've seen more and bigger hype from Apple in the past.

The original iPhone hype was out of this world.

I was a young one when that debuted. Well, much younger than I am now anyway.

Seven years.....

It's the new iSight megacamera. Megapixel count is OVER 9000. Take that Samsung.

Drone Footage!

Drone footage is really cool, like with the spaceship campus just brings a whole new dimension to the size than before! Love IT!

Seven years.....

Big difference between being 7 and 14 or even 14 and 21, for example.

 

[burgman]

My money is still on a performance stage for U2 and makes me wonder why Apple went through all this trouble just for them.

If the rumor is true that the new iPhone is going to come with their new album on the phone by default, then I will be very disappointed and not happy.

Money buys cool stuff... FU money buys more...

Sergey/Page to Cook conference call "WE got Barges!!!"
Cook to Sergey/Page conference call " We Don't need no stinking Barges!!"
Apparently neither does Google

Seven years.....

Yes? And I'm 19 now. 12 is considerably younger than 19.

 

[brinary001]

Big difference between being 7 and 14 or even 14 and 21, for example.

12 and 19? Hmmm, I guess the spike in growth is only in the eye of the beholder.

12 and 19 doesn't present a big difference in growth and maturity? Really?

 

[woodekm]

Wow. That dude snuck into the fence like iPhone leaks getting out. So much for "doubling down" on security.

My prediction: this is a staging area for demos, but with one major difference: scenes.

Regarding Homekit at WWDC apple mentions "scenes" for Homekit. Their example was you could set up a "scene" such as bedtime. You simply say "hey Siri, it's bedtime" and the actions you've selected (furnace turns down, lights dim, garage door makes sure it is shut, doors lock) are performed.

Though the poster who mentioned the retail store overhauls could be onto something, my apple store has been renovating for month, and with what Burberry did in their NYC store, I see Angela going whole hog in revamping the paradigm on this front.

What? Yeah, I'm saying it does. I was in middle school at that age, and now I'm an engineering student. So I'd say something changed XD

Sorry didn't notice it was you posting that to further make the point rather than to say it sarcastically.

my money is on a performance stage

You just left it there? I hope noone steals it.
