What to Expect at Apple's 'Hey Siri' Media Event on Wednesday

"One more thing..." won't be a thing this year, right? It was recently trademarked by Swatch to get back at Apple. So, wonder what it will be instead.
 
My iPhone 5 just died last week, interestingly while I have the Samsung S6 Edge during the test drive (I'm questioning if Samsung did something to my phon, ha). I've been using the S6 edge since then and I have to say, the hardware is pretty amazing. The screen and cameras are far above the iPhone's.

I'm hoping the new iPhones tomorrow get the improved cameras because it will be tough to give up the Samsung phone, and I'm a diehard Apple user.

One thing I really hope they do - get rid of the 16GB phone. Seriously, if we're moving into 4K/UHD territory for videos we need a bigger base model for storage.

Just because they offer 16GB doesn't force you to purchase it. The bigger the selection, the better. Some of us only make phone calls and surf the net, so don't need a lot of memory. Why force us to buy what we don't need?

I simply can't contain myself. I'm still in possession of an iPhone 4 and I get to finally upgrade this month. I feel like a kid in the candy store.

On a side note:
Does any one know when the new iWorks is said to be released? I'm curious to see how the new one will measure up against Office. I know Apple takes their time, damn how much longer do we have to wait?!?

I counted 11 usages of "will" about something that has not been confirmed by anything than "a source." That is 11 chances to look like fools for reporting rumors as facts.

One could argue that the headline reads, 'What to expect' and that every 'will' should be read with that in mind, combining to: 'We expect xyz will happen'.

I want a 4" phone but if I want the flagship iPhone I don't have a choice these days.

They'll probably recommend you scale down your recordings to 1080p if you have the base model.
 
The most happy person on this planet would be on suicide watch after reading this forum. Every time the same negative comments, followed by the best ever sales of the announced products. I wish the moaning people would just buy one of those, more affordably priced, Android things and be happy ever after. I am an optimist, at least until the whole thing is over. My gut feeling predicts, that I will love just over 70% of which is announced. Disappointments will mostly hit the non english speaking countries, which is a huge mistake by Apple. I see no doom for Apple just yet.

Don't you see, they want you to buy the 64GB or higher model. They're not going to get rid of it anytime soon. People complain about them still offering 16GB, but they also offer 64GB and 128GB - these are the models they want you to buy.
 
I know it's a long shot but I'd love if the rumor about Nintendo games for the Apple TV comes true. It would be an incredible game changer.

Gruber is convinced Apple won't show off iPads tomorrow, not because he has inside information but because he thinks it's too much to cover at one event and from the rumor mill it sounds like the iPad Pro won't ship until late November.

I'm thinking Apple will show off iPads tomorrow mostly because of the new Force Touch/3D Touch stuff. If both iPhone and iPad are getting this technology this year it only makes sense to announce them at the same time. I do share Gruber's concern that it's a lot to pack into one event. On the one hand I'm hoping this forces Apple to focus and have a really tight event (the opposite of the Apple Music presentation at WWDC). But on the other hand I hope it doesn't cause Apple to rush through things in order to finish in 90 minutes or whatever.

I would be surprised if the iPad mini 4 got Force Touch, but if the iPad Pro gets announced tomorrow and it has Force Touch, I can see Apple giving the mini 4 Force Touch so it's not left out. A good two hours should be more than enough time to tell us about all of the goodies the 6s/6s Plus is getting, ATV 4 and both iPads.
 
Here's hoping for...

iPhone 6S and 6S+ (pretty sure on that one...)
E*Trade Bank in Apple Pay
Force Touch stand alone trackpad
iPad Pro
Apple TV 4
iOS9 (pretty sure on this one, too)
Wireless BT keyboard with numeric keypad
Retina 4K 21.5" iMac
OSX in iPad Pro (9to5 pretty much shot that one down)
Gold Apple Watch Sport (anodized gold, not solid)
Taylor Swift giving out the Apple Music numbers
