Im betting with Uncle that he will say the following when the picture of the new iPhone.

"So iPhone HD/4G (or what ever the beep its called). This is what it looks like (Goes to slide that shows a picture), but most of you already knew that."

hahah I'm so confident. It's such a Steve thing to do.
 
Wouldn't doubt it. There's no way they can get through the keynote without cracking a couple jokes.
 
How great would it be if instead of showing the leaked phone, he shows a pic of a 3GS just long enough to piss everyone off and then he says "Nahhh, I'm only kidding, here's the real new iPhone..."

That actually sounds very..."Steve."

I also wouldn't rule out a joke with another iPhone 3G model design. When he first announced the iPhone it was so sudden, but he got a joke in there quickly. He showed a picture of an iPod with a rotary dial instead of a click wheel. Then he just flashed a picture of the front of the real iPhone.
 
Nah he'll just walk out, post up the photos of Chen with the leaked prototype and say "Balls" then he will go into the discussion of the features. Guarantee it.

Or he would show the photo and said, because of this guy there is no iPhone update this year. (yeah that's not going to happen).

I think he'll go for the warm fuzzy factor and let Gray Powell introduce the phone.
 
Actually I could see him going on with the introduction like nothing has happened. Like no one other than select people at Apple have seen the new iphone. I doubt that Jobs would give the people responsible for the leaked images of the iphone any such clout or acknowledgment.

If I was betting on anything, I would count on it being business as usual, with few jokes about the whole gizmodo thing. Though I could be and usually am wrong.

Well you didn't listen to him at the D8 conference then. He might just introduce it like normal, but he already acknowledged what went down.

I was not able to catch that interview. So forget what I said about him not mentioning it. ;) I guess that's just what I would do, if I were the man. I don't like other people dictating how my plans should go. I've always believed that if someone steals your thunder, just ignore them and go on with your plans like you had orginally planned to do.
 
I doubt he'll acknowledge it at all. He quickly talked about it at d8 in an interview setting...but in this setting, it's all about control...he maintains it.
 
I think all of the photos he puts up there should have a big "APPLE EXCLUSIVE" watermark on it to take the piss out of gizmodo
 
I wouldn't be surprised if he mentions the incident, but definitely not as part of the reveal.

That would be funny and it would also calm down a lot of people who say Apple has become this miserable company that is doing everything they accused their competition of doing in the past.

But with that said, there's no way it'll happen. Because, as we know, Gray Powell has been hanged, drawn and quartered and his head is on a pike at that beer garden.
 
If I did the presentation, I would act as if nothing happened and would introduce all of its features in detail. I hope Steve does the same. Jokes are not necessary at all. I would put Gizmodo′s people in jail together with the person who sold it to them.
 
"The iPhone is an incredible success story, over X millions have been sold, blah, blah... Today I am happy to introduce the new iPhone...

Words might be different but we can all imagine his body language and tone.

Steve Jobs impressions and Apple keynote parodies with new iPhone mock adverts will follow during the day. That will be the most entertaining part.
