John gruber on tomorrow [something big is going down tomorrow]

[tac22]

John gruber on tomorrows apple conferance... I definitely knows something we don't

"MG Siegler:

My sense is that the main idea behind this event is to get a bunch of big publications and other key Apple influencers into a room to go over the iPhone 4 antenna issue once and for all. I have little doubt that Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself will be leading this discussion, with other Apple executives talking as well. I also suspect we may see some antenna and wireless industry experts to offer their insights as well.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, but I now have a hunch it’s going to be more — maybe a lot more — than just a defense of the iPhone 4 antenna. Sounds crazy, I know, but I think something big, or at least biggish, is going down tomorrow. This is not one of those “hunches” I get where I actually know something and play coy; I could be wrong and the thing could wind up just being 20 minutes of Steve Jobs telling us “not to hold it that way, or buy a case”. I’m betting on my hunch, though, and flying out late tonight."

He is so vaque, that I have no clue what the hell it could be, but if he's using the word big.... I think it will surprise a lot of us.

He's being vague so if something else happens he can say 'I told you so'.

 

[3goldens]

sorry don't think so.

 

[Compile 'em all]

A recall.

Steve Jobs is going to announce that AT&T will start boosting the transmission power at each of their towers by 4x so you can hold the iPhone4 however the F&#@ you want.

If only

 

[AdeFowler]

They're announcing new Bumper colours; Flower Power and Blue Dalmation. You heard it hear first.

 

[heavensblade23]

I have no idea what he could be speculating about.

 

[japasneezemonk]

I like John Gruber's site and try to get to it daily, but I really don't think he knows much about what's happening tomorrow. He even admits that he just has a hunch.

Paul the Octopus chose Free Bumpers.

 

[antiprotest]

I am guessing something very, very small.

[antiprotest]

Yeah, they will announce the iPhone 5 tomorrow.

 

[VSMacOne]

iPhone 4.5

This is going to be the most interesting Apple press conference ever in my opinion. Nobody REALLY has a clue what Apple's response will be..
At this point it's all up in the air!

 

[heavensblade23]

They're going to blame it all on AT&T and break exclusivity...

 

[dborja]

Paul the Octopus chose Free Bumpers.

Hahahahaha!

 

[prot0type]

They're going to blame it all on AT&T and break exclusivity...

Will Mel Gibson be the guest speaker for that portion?

 

[pooryou]

Just curious: what has this got to do with the iPad?

 

[ssdeg7]

Lets just wait

It would be nice to see something big coming tomorrow, but I really don't think something big is going on.

 

[Full of Win]

Aside from the recall of the phones, the only other big thing would be that Steve Jobs announces his retirement.

 

[iPhonedHome]

In all those crates are chitloads of stupid bumper cases!

Aside from the recall of the phones, the only other big thing would be that Steve Jobs announces his retirement.

Which seems pretty unlikely.

It's interesting. Almost looks like promo materials or displays.

 

[iThinman]

iHand release announcement. I'm camping out and will be first in line....suckkkkkers!!!!!

 

[CarboysDesire]

I think they'll announce that 4.1 fixed the problem, that they are sorry, and FREE bumpers for everyone.
