Ah you are correct. But that one word you did not initially say "mobile" makes all the difference. But in the mobile world you are totally correct. Maybe everyone knows what 7 and 10.9 is and Apple needs to say nothing more on the billboards there. Everyone who paid the $1500 knows Apple's 2x OS's are going to be updated soon. I think Apple is targeting the attendees and not the outside world (ie us watching the keynote) with them. But in saying that many people would understand what 7 and 10.9 means in relation to Apple as well.
 
So glad I switched to iPhone. Can't wait to see what they've got

Tim Cook:

"We're announcing today, the world's thinnest smart phone. It's a whole 1mm thinner than the iPhone 5. We're so proud of it. The most innovated iPhone yet."

:p
 
Looks exactly like the Roboto Thin font used in Android...

Get your eyes checked. Roboto is a mismatch of rip-off typefaces from Myriad, FF DIN, Helvetica, Ronnia to Univers. It was called out by many pro designers and typographers that the Roboto designer himself, Christian Robertson, went on a major defensive.
 
Oh the disappointment, it will be huge! True story, get ready for another underwhelming release. Muhahaha :D
 
it for the Mac Pro 7?! I walkd by there after work and it really does look like a Mac Pro's grill. I really can't think of anything else it would represent in the context of a developers conference. The "7" is kind of out of place in that context. The other banners are VERY strange. They look like an LSD version of the Windows XP "Bliss" desktop background. There is a third one not pictured which is kind of a mirror image of the multicolor one. But more like a wave. And Metreon is PLASTERED with IOS looking icons. First time I have seen conference signage go form Moscone West to the Metreon. (though Oracle and Peoplesoft take over the entire street, literally).

Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days! Two more days!


Oh, I forgot to mention: "Two more days!" :D

Up vote for the effort.

Interesting what a simple banner can do to the Apple world... Truly can't wait.
 
Will be interesting to see how iOS 7 and the next iPhone turn out, I need a new phone soon so I'm looking forward to seeing those.
 
I hope that we will see at least some of Jony's influence and taste in OS X 10.9.
I know iOS is the main focus, the cash cow, but OS X is were the allegiance sits ... so please a fresh Jony Ive breeze for OS X!

"A fresh Jony Ive breeze"?

Ew.
 
Remember back when the yahoo weather app came out, people were saying how sleek it looked in comparison to the stock app, it has an almost 'panorama wallpaper effect' as the background image transitions to frosted upon scrolling. It has exactly the same ultra light Helvetica font as this banner.

Apple and Yahoo are getting closer since the Google purge, maybe from ios7 we will see something similar to the yahoo weather app style. I sure hope so.

Why not make the yahoo weather app the default?

Something

Isn't the iPhone5 technically the sixth rendition model of the iphone franchise? If that's so wouldn't 7 have more prevalence to a new iphone model being technically the 7th model to have been released by apple? Or do I just need to go get coffee and wake up this morning? :p
