Has apple ever sold or made preorder available right after a keynote speech?

I'm curious if it's ever been done?

Not that I know of, and it's definitely not happening for this one.

other things, sure, but not for an iphone.

Why definitely not, in this particular case?

I agree it's very unlikely but they are making a big song and dance about this event and I'm sure regardless of all the leaks they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. It could be order today, right after the announcement, why not?

pre-orders (if they do it this year) will most likely be on the friday after the event. In this case the 12th.
