What to Expect From Apple's September 7 Event

The nice thing about everyone being so pessimistic about the new phones, is that I can sleep in on pre-order day and order at 9am, and still get it the first day.
One to take a Europa League exit photo when Manchester gets ousted and the other one is a long distance lens not to miss when Mourinho leaves.
At this rate you can walk in to any store on launch day or anytime during the week, and pick one up no hassle.
The test will be finding the updated phone instore and distinquising it from the 6S.
I'm planning to go into a store and try my headphones with one
want to see if the staff have adapters in their pockets or if it will be usual, the accessory does not ship on launch day
I wonder when people will realise that the smartphone itself has peaked. Not iPhone but the whole smartphone market. That's just how things go. Do you expect to get a new TV with astonishing and innovative features every year? No. Do you expect to get a new car with astonishing and innovative features every year? No.
I hope you get my point.

On the latest Ctrl-Walt-Delete podcast Walt Mossberg and Nilay Patel of Verge fame both coyly mentioned that they had heard of a "surprise" from different sources coming at the event. They didn't elaborate and kind of acted like they weren't sure if it was real or not. Hard to say what that means, but food for thought.
Much rather have airpods with no wires than onces with. Certainly in the gym it's a damn pain wires getting in the way. Each to their own though.
It's what happens when the hounds are forced to eat the same food for such a long time, they get restless and turn on each other. Not the pups fault the food manafacturer has got lazy....
What to expect? The world's fastest phone and most powerful processor for starters. If they use dual cameras I expect they'll put that processor to good use utilizing real-time image processing to bring new features we haven't seen yet.
i don't need a watch, i only use my pone to talk, i don't need a phone.
I simply want a new computer.
I have been using Apple since 1986, please don't make me stop using it.
I am old school, i don't need everyone knowing where i am at all times.

Now, that would restore my enthusiasm, if they didn't screw it up too badly.
Another free crap U2 album at the end of the keynote
They seemed to indicate it was product/service related. Happened at 54:11:
Walt: ...aaand there's a possibility of another surprise
Nilay: Yeah. I've heard some whispers of this other surprise as well
Walt: I can't reveal my source...haha
Then they moved right along. Who knows?

Yes sure Apple got upset. But during the iPhone 4 keynote Steve Jobs himself joked about it. As he revealed the new iPhone 4 he commented, "stop me if you have seen this before" to a round of laughter. Tim Cook's first comment on the matter was about "doubling down" on security.
Yea except that is not what happened. It was not the guy who picked up the iPhone 4 prototype. It was Jason Chen, the editor at Gizmodo who wrote the "hands on" story about the unreleased phone (not much hands on, since the phone was disabled the night it was lost). Still it was strange, especially considering the prototype had already been returned to Apple by then and no charges were ever filed. Jobs said they (Gizmodo) tried to "extort" them (Apple).

Oh for crying out loud, please Apple stop with the phones and watches. Make this event all about the Macbook Pro.
We are all (myself included) guilty of ragging on Apple for not continuously pushing the envelope, but the fact is that Apple is *NOT* the same company they were 10 years ago. Back then they were a much smaller company making forward-thinking devices and software for technically driven people. Now they make devices for the masses, which means commodity items that have appeal to most anyone. Those people care about cool apps like facebook/snapchat/etc. and bragging rights. There is no longer a financial incentive to drive innovation.
OMG! Can't wait for those new watch bands. The share price will go through the roof.
Actually, can't wait for another of those Groundhog Day cringe-fests with all those personality-free execs trying to be cool. It's one of the funniest on-demand programmes you can stream. The audience are almost as funny, whooping it up every time some minor change is announced.......keep up the good work.
Second most awesome live-stream is https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/HDEV/ Its a great way to chill after going incandescent at the BS and non-announcements at the latest Apple event.

iPhone 7 gearing up to be better than I thought. It still seems like the Apple Watch is not going to be a must have product and will be lagging the Microsoft Band 3.
Hopefully since the new MacBooks have been pushed back to October/November, we'll see them sport Kaby Lake CPUs instead of the outdated Skylake.
