Just over a month after it introduced the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch, Apple is back with another media event where it is expected to show off new iPads, new iMacs including high-resolution Retina displays on some models, and likely a final look at OS X Yosemite before its imminent public launch.

Today's event is being held at the Town Hall auditorium on Apple's Cupertino headquarters campus and begins at 10:00 AM Pacific Time / 1:00 PM Eastern Time. Apple will be providing a live video stream on its website for Mac and iOS users and via Apple TV.

Very excited, really hoping for the Mac Mini refresh, not too bothered about the rest if I'm honest - hopefully Yosemite might be released too.
 
this will and must be more about Macs (30 years anniversary) and Apple knows that. So mac mini/imacs for sure because Intel cpu for desktops are available starting November. Maybe an Apple TV too
 
Yup, just spotted UK Store is down.

I wonder which pages are receiving an overhaul today...

I expect a full set of announcements.

New iPads
iOS 8.1
Apple Pay
Yosemite Release Date
Updated iWork
Retina iMac (maybe...)
Updated Thunderbolt Display (maybe...)
New Mac Mini (I really think so)
iPad Pro (?)

Not everything may get screen time, but I think you'll see a slew of updates on Apple's website like maybe an iPod touch with A7 SoC.
 
You're forgetting the 30 minutes of pre-amble, about how many apps have been downloaded, how much has been paid to developers, a video of a new Apple Store somewhere in Asia, and a few quotes from the US press about how magical the new iPhone is..

Most of which they skipped during the last event, which made many happy!
 
My Prediction: Apple is changing the set-top cable box and the way we will get/view our content. Steve Jobs said "I've cracked the code". Tim Cook also said in an interview, the cable box interface and the way the family gathers around the TV is like something from the 70's.

HBO and ABC announced subscriptions without having to have a cable/satellite package. I'm sure many others will follow suit, or already have the plan, but have not yet announced it.
