October 4th Media Event to Be Held at Apple's Headquarters?

No. iPhone 4 (s) and iPhone 5 will both be unveiled. iPhone 5 has 4 inch screen, 8 mp camera, tapered design.
The venue has nothing to do with whether or not they are launching a minor upgrade or a redesign. This has everything to do with correctable manufacturing issues.
thanks for your link.
i remember being one of two kids in high school that had an iPod my freshmen year. i also remember having to explain to all my friends what it did.
Alternate venues
Apple has used a venue other than Town Hall or Yerba Buena Center once. That was the California Theatre in San Jose in October 2004, for the U2 RED iPod. It's a restored theater and is probably not technologically sufficient, so I wouldn't expect an event there. But if they need pure capacity it's there, as is the much larger Flint Center in Cupertino.

No great mystery, Super Sleuths. ;-)
There is no great mystery as to why Apple is not hosting the event at Yerba Buena in San Francisco.
The actual answer is (drumroll pls....)
Oracle OpenWorld is being hosted in SanFrancisco for almost the entire week of October 2nd.
The entire Moscone complex and most all other Yerba Buena venues are booked. Even part of Howard Street is blocked off, with temporary tents/facilities erected in that spot.
There are an estimated 50,000 attendees and virtually no hotel space/rooms available.
End of story.
Lol.

What makes you think they get texts from girls?
Logically, members of the press don't boo like newb forum members would.

Yeah, but Wi-Fi gives off less radiation than 4G.
And Wi-Fi allows you to have a network of devices rather than just one device that has access to the internet for a ridiculous fee per month.
God, when I saw that "ultra-portable" iPod, I almost fell off the chair.
Even the current MacBook Pro is thinner than that beast. Who would've thought that's where would be in 10 years.
P.S. Thanks for sharing. I felt quite nostalgic.
You think that is impressive watch this keynote and press response from 1984. Bragging rights of 50,000 Computers sold in 72 days when others took over 100+ days
1984 - Macintosh First 92 Days

Maybe because they really are just introducing an iPhone 4S with minor upgrades and perhaps don't want to draw TOO much attention to that fact.
Or perhaps they are so anti leak that they are moving everything to the campus because they know folks are watching the calendars. And they will blow everyone away by issuing invites this Tuesday for a live stream on Thursday announcing the new iPods, iPhone, etc. The iPods will arrive in stores over the weekend. The iOS will start on Friday the 30th. And the iPhone will launch the next thursday. The blackouts will be due to Apple knowing that weekends are always high traffic times etc

if Steve was that much of an invalid why not just FaceTime him in from his 4 star deathbed.
You DO realise that Steve Jobs owns his own family home and that he does not live at 1 Infinite Loop, don't you?
Hopefully they do it like last time where they stream over iOS devices. I'll be at work with my iPad 2, and iPhone 4 handy just in case!Maybe there planing to live stream the event.

True! BUT now:
It is Tim's show he is CEO. And now, Steve is not on leave but Steve has RESIGNED big difference!!
It's different but there have been Keynotes without Steve before. Also rest assured this is a Steve Jobs iPhone inside and out.
Can we just get this show on the road??? If I don't get my new iPhone announced that first week if October, oh boy.....

I don't believe that this is photoshopped tbh and that is clearly his wife in the pic

He is chairman now, he is Tim Cook's boss
Cook may do the day to day stuff as CEO but he answers to Jobs as chairman is higher up than CEO
Indeed but I also know that Steve is probably the biggest hands on businessman in the modern era, I find it impossible to believe that he does not take an active role in what is going on at Apple
