iPhone Media Event All But Confirmed for September 10

[TAI182]

So excited to finally upgrade from my iPhone 4.

 

[appleisking]

Let me get the trollish Android lot comments out of the way:
"Meh, the iPhone 5S is the same as the 5"

"The XXXXX phone had this feature 3 years ago"

"That's another thing they have copied from Android"

"Overpriced garbage"

"iSheep go baaa!"

"Where's the SD card slot and removable battery?"

"Lol it hasn't got quad core"

"Safari feels sna..." Oh wait, wrong bunch, sorry

You forgot tiny screen, toy os, and they still haven't fixed Maps!

 

[BruceEBonus]

I'm really curious to see the differences between the iPhone 5S and the mid-range iPhone.

Me too. And Ive bought a magnifying glass for that very purpose

 

[g88bo]

Can't wait to see what the invitation hints at.

something with double. like double flash but also a hint to the new home button.

Maps is fine. I have no problem at all with Apple maps.

 

[powers74]

There it is

Bam!

Me too. And Ive bought a magnifying glass for that very purpose

You know Jonny?

 

[appleisking]

Maps is fine. I have no problem at all with Apple maps.

Was being facetious in case you missed it.

 

[STiNG Operation]

Here we go again...again.

Now the one man who made a difference five times before... is about to make a difference again, only this time, it's different.

 

[rdlink]

Maps is fine. I have no problem at all with Apple maps.

Not sure, but I don't think he was actually trashing Maps. I think he was referring to what the Android trolls might say.

 

[Tankmaze]

Ooo yissss
Excited for this !!

 

[Jsameds]

You forgot tiny screen, toy os, and they still haven't fixed Maps!

So I did. You should have said "You're trolling it wrong"

 

[peteullo]

I'm sure the unveiling won't be quite as good as the Galaxy S4 debut!

I'm sure the Sept 10 date was planned well ahead. But this 'early' leak could be a controlled one. Usually Apple doesn't like advanced leak of an event date like this because it cut into the sales on current version of the devices as more potential customers will hold on to wait for the new one.

I doubt that. It's more likely they planned this date some time ago. Apple doesn't respond to rumours, let alone create media events to react to them.

It's still less than a year since the iPhone 5 launch.

 

[azentropy]

Hopefully unlocked phones will be available the same time the others are released for a change. I'm done with doing 2 year contracts.

 

[Sodner]

something with double. like double flash but also a hint to the new home button.

I'm thinking a hand displaying the two finder peice sign.

Sybolises two iPhones, two flashes and the finger print scanner.

 

[designaholic]

Yep. That's what I wanted to hear.

I guess this is a direct response from Apple to the rumor regarding Apple board's concerns with regard to the pace of innovations. Expect big surprises at the event.

Surprises? New iPhone, budget iPhone, iPad refresh.. hardly surprising.

 

[Madhawk]

iOS 7 here I come!

 

[Ryth]

Im calling it here:

It will have a pointless processor upgrade. The phone is already fast enough.
Dual LED - for those who care (could be ok)
12 MP Camera
Some proprietary hardware sensor that only the 5S will have (Finger print?)
Same screen, but they will boast that is has a higher contrast ratio "more colors".


Thats about it. Slight upgrade from the 5 realistically, and next year will be a larger phone.

You could say the same thing about every Android Phone, every car, every computer, every camera, etc.

I mean if Apple comes out with a larger screen, that's not going to be touted as innovation (nor should it be)

Sooner or later, technology hits a plateau and we're there with cell phones.

 

[cosmic68]

Just for laughs, I'd kinda laugh if Jim called this one wrong.

"Nope"!

 

[Carlanga]

Why is it that you guys are always 'confirming' with Dalrymple what other sources tell you.

I mean I can probably answer with a yep or nope depending on what source you guys are confirming with as much accuracy as him.

 

[OneMike]

Hopefully unlocked phones will be available the same time the others are released for a change. I'm done with doing 2 year contracts.

Unofficially they kind of were last year. When I got mine I opted to pay full price initially.

I'm with you on that one though. Definitely done with 2 year contracts.

He has an inside relationship with Apple. He has never been wrong.

 

[Carlanga]

He has an inside relationship with Apple. He has never been wrong.

Yes he has been, less than others, but he is not always right.

He is always 'confirming' things, why can't he then actually give a rumor himself instead of confirming one, because when he does say something that other sources haven't then like last time he gets it wrong.

Strike! September 10th is marked at my calendar for weeks now.

Let's see which venue is choosen by Apple this time. At Moscone Center there is an Intel convention from 09/10 to 09/12. Another two locations left:

- Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
- Apple Campus Town Hall

I think the latter would indicate just a product upgrade i.e. no iPhone 5C.

Daily checking YBCA calendar for event updates now...

 

[Gix1k]

Anyone else not excited at all for a marginally new iPhone in addition to a cheaper one? Apple events are blah!
