How often does the guy in the 3rd photo get mistaken for Snowden?
Or the guy just above his head in the background for Jony Ive.
Wanted to see how the war room actually worked.
Got a bunch of still photos instead.
Oh well, it is Buzzfeed. That's how they work. Bad me for falling for it.

I wish Apple would just record it, edit it, and show us how it works, while protecting their privacy.
As a huge Stormtooper fan (check the avatar) I can't help but picture the outfit Angela is wearing as Burberry's take on Star Wars.
Am now mildly freaked out as a work email about a launch war room (with my company, who is not a retailer in the classic sense) just appeared in my inbox.
I guess this is a thing everywhere now?

LOL! Maybe it is. I could totally see that.

Not seeing the hordes of people lining up at the Apple Stores does not surprise me! Just a few years ago we didn’t have such a powerful online store fronts as we do today.
Today the malls and many major stores are dying, fewer and fewer people are going, many are just closing up. Apple is not immune to this change on how we buy things, in someways they created the change!
That does not mean the new iPhone 8 & 8 Plus was not well received. And, I agree many are likely waiting for the iPhone X.

RIP the Thunderbolt monitors they're using

It's alright, she's probably fine with that.

definitely so! and a reciprocal sentiment as well
What did you want them to call it, 6SS? The only big upgrade was from 3G to 4. They release these things yearly, so it's gonna be almost always incremental. If you're like me, you only update every 4 years.
A whole room of engineers couldn’t make the website go live at 12:00. Lol. Somehow my company’s web team (2 people) can manage to do it.
Yup I’m still salty for not getting the first round of watches.

Just wait for X-Day. The kind of people who line up are the ones who want the flagship device. With the rumoured limited availability, it's going to be a frenzy.
Nope. I was constantly refreshing it, on multiple devices. I didn’t get anything until at least 12:06. The app went live but the website did not. By the time I entered in a shipping address the ship date had slipped.
Very difficult. Plus you would have to make it through the security upon exiting. Good luck with that.
Having worked in the World Port (before they expanded it and rename it that) along with working in FedEx's hub here in Louisville, there are cameras everywhere.
Back in Sept. 2014 when the 6 shipped, I found an empty box inside the container at FedEx. Cameras recorded everything and there was one aimed at the inside of each container.
That's happened to me before. I get treated differently based on what I wear, even from the same people!
That said, I think Angela is EXACTLY the kind of person Tim wanted at Apple. It is he who wants to turn Apple into a luxury brand, and I can't think of anyone better for the...ahem...jobs than Angela.
The fact she looks good is a credit to her abilities and skill set.
Whether or not I like that Apple has taken this turn towards luxury is another matter entirely, but Angela is only the 'messenger' here so the shot needs to be redirected to the individual in charge.
