I wonder if they will bring u2 to the event...lol. Maybe they will force us to get free songs.

Wow, that's never been used before...

Hope this isn't a premonition...the installer fails

Remember to go to the bathroom, and get some popcorn.

Whether you are excited about the new products or not,Tim at least deserves a big standing ovation for not giving into the FBI.

Does Apple invite MacRumors journalists to these events?

 

[Costino1]

Said this yesterday, but I still think we'll be downloading the new IOS update this afternoon

 

[pat500000]

The best part of being at the event is "hello" and "thank you for coming."

Asked this in another thread, but got no advice:

What is everyone's favorite live-blog of Apple's announcements?

Years back, mine used to be Engadget, but their reporting went downhill and I have their new website's format.

Then I used TheVerge for a while, they seemed to get center-row seats for good pictures and have a good website. Their commentary seems to have gone from mild to annoying. Now it seems they have more quips and sarcasm than actual quotes of what is being said on stage.

MacRumors is ok, but they live-blog website isn't so great and they always seem to get terrible seats, and thus all the pictures are pretty bad.

Which do you guys recommend, taking into account quality of commentary and transcription of what is being said, quality of pictures, and quality of live-blog website format?​

have no answer for you unfortunately. I've discovered basically the exact same things. Cannot stand the new engadget format of their site and have basically stopped going to it because of the redesign. TheVerge is all about commentary and opinion rather than substance. MacRumours is toxic enough with fanboys cluttering up these events, and the live threads aren't really that well done.

I'll probably just have engadget's open in the meantime for lack of any other place to go

Actually, some of that stuff was ok. The rest was crap.

Just don't forget to boo on 16GB storage.

( EDIT: And 5400rpm spinning disks, in case they reveal a new Mac desktop. )

 

[yaxomoxay]

it will be a three hour lecture on privacy rights, all explained by a lawyer.

Na. I am looking forward to the new iPad Air 3 aka iPad Pro Mini or whatever they call it.

Ready to buy !!

Ars has been good in the past. Obviously the past is no indication of the future, but http://live.arstechnica.com/apples-march-2016-event/ could be worth opening in a tab.

I guess you wanted to tell us something.

That's what I'm thinking: engadget for lack of anything else. Someone above suggested Ars Technica, which I'll have in another tab to check it out.

EDIT: Nevermind, Ars is already awful.

You really think not? I'm expecting about a 5-10 minute segment on it.

Apple goes to court tomorrow. There might be a reference to the issue but don't expect much.

 

[mrgraff]

Koolaid...

(Although to be historically accurate, I'd have to say Flavor Aid)

Sounds about right.

 

[loopmein]

It hasn't.....in a long time.

It wore itself thin in a couple of hours

I agree.. Saying too much at this event would just give ammo to the DOJ. They would use it as evidence Apple is just doing one big PR stunt.

Everything points to this being quite a low key event. Unless of course we do see a 'new' iPhone, then all the news outlets will claim they've released the iPhone 7 early and everyone will say it looks like the old one.

 

[pat500000]

I wouldn't be surprised if FBI agents are waiting inside with handcuffs ready after the show.

 

[ghost187]

From this event I can confirm that Samsung will release Galaxy S7 Mini, and Galaxy Tab S Pro 9.7 lol
