OS X iPhone and OS X Leopard Banners at WWDC

sticking with at&t?

If you really want to fan the flames of the rumor mill, don't you think it's suspicious that the iPhone blocks out the name of the machine it's in front of?
On a more serious note, whilst the bottom of the Bezel is wider than the sides on the Air, there is a much more glaring difference, and that it the thickness of the front edge of the machine. I'm sat typing this on my MBA, and there is no way the front edge is anywhere near as wide as that on the poster. Added to that is the dimensions of the IR sensor on the right hand front edge: On the MBA it's much thinner, wider and further to the left than the one on the photo.

I've attached a couple of images to illustrate what I mean:
The first one is from the poster, the second one is an MBA from Apple's site. It could be perspective, but there's quite a difference...

These posts are getting ridiculous. I do hope for a new mac maybe something like a tablet and a revamped macbook and macbook pro line. Also there is without a doubt that the new iphone will be shown at the wwdc. There are none left anywhere. Apple has to be releasing a new one.

But did anyone notice that the iphone still has at&t as the carrier. I guess that att will be the only carrier in the US. This means that i leaning toward att not subsidizing the iphone but hopefully they will.

No, I think people are speculating that it could be an updated Macbook with styling similar to the air.

except they are overlooking the fact that its is a Macbook Air. I doubt Apple is going to redesign a macbook to look JUST LIKE the Macbook Air. Then what does the Macbook Air get redesigned to look like? A Macbook Pro?

so lemme get this straight...

new 3G iPhone (extremely highly rumored, basically a fact)

phone/touch firmware 2.0 (extremely highly rumored, basically a fact)

MobileMe (highly rumored)

Mac OSX 10.6 "Snow-Leopard" CODENAME (rumored somewhat high)

MacOSX-esque tablet (decently rumored)

New Macbook/Macbook Pros (rumored, low-medium ranked)


anyone think that is a little bit too much for WWDC? I mean, whoa lol. If they announce even 60% of those, I will be amazed :p

Again, just you.

Next person to start a supposition with "Is it just me" gets reported*. If you think that it's just you, it is.

*Not really. I hate the hype.

Is it just me or does Safari seem just a LITTLE bit snappier the moment I saw the banners? ;)

Is it just me or is the iPhone in front of the Air waaaay to big to be an iPhone? Looks like a 7" display to me.

I dunno.

It's obviously out of scale, unless there's an 11.25" MacBook Air on the way. Then again, it's clearly not parallel projection (the unless the keyboard area is a trapezoid), it may just be the perspective.

They should be careful with the word "world". The iphone is pretty crappy and only has a fraction of features compared to a lot of Japanese phones. Who are they trying to kid exactly? Really its not even a matter of opinion, its just not possible to argue that its more advanced than other phones in asian countries.

Americas most advanced phone? Sure. Europe's most advanced phone? Maybe after 3g, right now its doing very bad there. Asia's most advanced phone? Well thats just funny.

What does advanced mean?

If it means the number of features, then yes, the Japanese phones have many more than the iPhone currently has. I am sure that iPhone 2 will close that gap a little at least.

However, when it comes to ease of use the iPhone is way ahead of many competing phones -- especially the Japanese ones in which many of them have a terrible interface system. In this regard, the iPhone is way more advanced than most other Japanese phones today, IMHO.

Don't forget the iPhone is at least 8 inches in front of the MacBook Air screen and will therefore not be conducive to a direct comparison. You are probably correct in assuming it's the perspective.
 
This thread has me convinced that Apple must throw information to fuel rumors? Why? to keep people on their toes; to fuel the excitement; to keep people busy for hours analyzing banners; to laugh at us all.

Think about it. How fun would it be to know everything (be Steve) and watch all the idiots (us) play?

Then again...This thread may be proof that Apple doesn't need to do anything to fuel rumors. We fuel rumors. Steve we want on the payroll!

Hey, I'm just explaining. Obviously, there are people on this thread who think it doesn't look like a MBA. And is it really such a stretch to think that apple might take some design cues from the MBA for their other laptops?
 
Anyone else find it odd that the developers conference posters headline the most consumer based of Apples product line? I know they are the "sexiest" products to show off, but i'd like a bit of Mac Pro loving!

Also, no black sheet banners makes me unhappy in my pants.

Its also free marketing research. They can pull this up to see what people want without any work.

Is it just me or are you two mocking me? :cool:

That's what I love about the MacRumors bunch; we're all good-natured... except for the people who complain when "their" line isn't updated when there isn't a CPU to upgrade to.:p

It reads:
"The world's most advanced mobile platform."
Not "... phone."
There may be a few more advance mobile phones,
but not a more advanced mobile platform.... big difference.
Click to expand...

It says mobile platform instead of phone platform cause OS X runs on the iPod as well as on the phone.
 
I think its the tablet, maybe
the screen looks a little more set closer
they rnt showing the dock
and the rest is obscured by thr iphone
think about it

or maybe it is just MBA
or what is left of rosweld
 
if they call it os X iPhone, then wats the ipod touch os called? hmmmm:rolleyes: they are in the same category! i wanna see a new ipod touch to accompany my new iphone :D
