With No Sign of Invites, When Could the Spring Apple Event Be? [Updated]

Trolled by horrible MacRumors reporting actually. Hopefully they learn to wait for the week to end first before reporting on the status of an event.
“When in danger, or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!”
Orrr maybe not. Announcement just dropped. Doesn't at all change the fact ???❤️!!
See? It's usually after 10:00 AM PST (1:00 PM EST) when Apple's posts announcements and releases.

Doesn't really matter, because there is always war... somewhere...
What matters is the profit for shareholders and for a company like Apple. That's why there must be an event, when they announce new products or whatever. The show must go on!
And as you and I can see, they already sent out the invites for the media/press/developers etc.
Well, I mean this thread has 4 pages and each one of those are a few ad views… so, you’re right, it WAS a good idea!
While I'm happy to see the gleeful attitudes after the invitations finally came out, I'm still hung up on Macrumors' complicity in the incredibly outrageous, scandalous, and I dare say treasonous years-long nationwide effort to change the word "invite" from a verb to a noun. "An invite" is not grammatically correct, nor is it cute. It's just wrong. Happy Apple Event, everybody.
Can You Use 'Invite' as a Noun?
People have been sending invites since the early 1600s
www.merriam-webster.com
If this makes you break out in a linguistic rash, you may continue to avoid using invite as a noun yourself, much as you may continue to avoid any gatherings which send you invites, rather than invitations. However, the word does meet our criteria for inclusion as this part of speech. And just in case we have not yet done enough to ruin your holiday spirit....gift can be used as a verb.
The same page states "You don't have to use 'invite' as a noun, but there's no reason to judge other people for doing so."From the page…Can You Use 'Invite' as a Noun?

Well, I will happily be judging other people for no reason, then, But judge them I will. Moreover, I am not impressed that the reasoning the Merriam-Webster page gave for "invite" being used as a noun "for centuries" is, essentially, poetic license, which by definition means "the freedom to depart from...the conventional rules of language when speaking or writing in order to create an effect."
I do hope to see an updated 27" (or larger) iMac on Tuesday.
I was wrong haha! Still I can't imagine them getting the front page ads. Haven't heard anything about Covid let alone tech companies lol
It’s funny that you call out people for using a shortened form of a word… and then ask for a 27 iMac.
27 iMac… what.
27 inches?
27 mm?
27 feet?
Is it the 27th iMac?
No "last edited" notation on the post, so the person you are calling out obviously had the " there all along...?
20 days ago, but hey, go Apple! Will the Studio survive a nuke? Only with the ultra chip!
