Shapes in and of themselves can’t be gay. As such, saying what you did is really illogical and rather laughable.

Edited to add: He changed his post as he originally said it kinda looks “gayish.” That is why I responded like I did.

Something I haven't seen discussed around here is that both Prosser and Gurman may be right, in various ways.

For example, we might get the new iPads via press release tomorrow and maybe the Watch, and we might get the event announcement too (which would include iPhones, AirPods Studio, AirTags, Apple Silicon Macs...)

Or, considering Gurman said "this week", not Tuesday, we might get the iPads tomorrow and the event announcement later in the week (or even next week, who knows).

So we'll find out tomorrow whether Jon was right, but that might not necessarily mean Mark was wrong.

As much as I hate Jon Prosser and his arrogant, ******* attitude, don't forget that his credibility will skyrocket if it turns out that the new Apple Watch and iPads are released - after all he is the first person to definitively lock in a date and even the exact 9AM time a month beforehand.

Well he already has a 77% accurate record

I’m boycotting all apple products until they change their stance on xcloud, GeForce now, stadia, etc. should be interesting, since I’ve used iOS for 10+ years. But I’m done. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Until then you will remain in Apple enthusiast forums to tell everyone how done you are with them, correct?

How about something Off the Radar ?

Specifically, what is the wildest thing you can think of that AAPL may announce this week, that might Offset ANY iPhone announcement delay ?

I'll start:

A new Pricing & App Discovery structure for the iOS App Store !

Intended to help spur demand, as well as help with Antitrust pressure.

I’m sure they’ll release a new sort of keyboard that automatically randomly capitalises 20% of what’s written.

They’ll call it the Macrumors Pro keys.

Boom, first to call it!

New iPad Air release is quite plausible... but new AW6? Not really sure about that. Why would Apple rush to release them just a few weeks before the final Watch OS7 is released. Apple is not doing such things. Releasing them with Watch OS6? Apple I know would not do that. Showing them and ship them in October? It doesn't really make sense. If they want to ship them in October, they could clearly just release them on iPhone event.

So I think the schedule for the end of 2020 is looks like that:

iPad Air: September (maybe tomorrow)
iPhone / AW6 / AirTags / AirPods studio: October event
AS Macs: November (press release if it's just a MacBook / MBA, streamed event if it's more than that).
 
Checking Apple campus stores others close by, looking at iPad Pro's, iPad Air, iPad stock they don't have any. iPad mini is available at all 12 stores. Phones and Watches are commonplace. Both iPod touch (A10), Apple TV 4K (A10X) need refreshes.

Maybe shipping date for 12-inch MacBook powered By Apple Silicon?
 
This guy on Twitter replying to Mark has a point.

Any other year, this would have a very simple solution. Split it into two events. September for iPhones, watches, and iPads. October for everything else. But 2020 isn’t a normal year, so it makes complete sense to announce smaller things like the watches and the iPads this month, and announce all the bigger stuff next month.
The new watch is going to look exactly the same as the series 5, the new bass iPad will probably look identical to the current one, and the iPad Air is just recycled 11 inch iPad Pro design. None of those things really need to be introduced on stage, or on a live stream.
Meanwhile, 4 new iPhones with complete new designs, over ear AirPods studios, air tags which is a completely new product, a smaller HomePod, and the first Mac with an Apple processor in it are all things that make sense to announce at an event.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see two more small things announced via website refresh, an Apple TV update, and a new 16 inch MacBook Pro with 10th gen Intel processors
 
If it was just Prosser’s report, I’d say maybe it’ll be announced with the iPhone. However, the EU filings and fact that you can’t buy a series 5, I’d say it’s either coming next week, or Apple is announcing everything including the iPhone before October, and just saying the iPhone ships later.

Lol @ Prosser. I take Gurman’s word over him. And yay if the iPhone event is this month.

I don’t see Gurman as a leaker. He regurgitates info of big items mentioned here in these forums and has since joining Bloomberg.

Gruman also uses Bloomberg analysts research and his press or other contacts within Apple to mention stories.

ever notice any articles or video appearances he makes is just about a week or less before a product is released?! It’s almost like pumping up the stock. To me I see his “reporting” as a conflict of interest. He’s terrible at his live video feeds on Bloomberg with their “tech” section. Have a look it’s quite comical.

Posser well he’s a guy that lives for this, a geek really, there is no specific credentials like having a big blog before as Grumman once did - that’s when he had his best work.

oh well differences of opinion is fine.
