When September 12th at 10am PDT (1PM EDT, 1700 UTC) Where Apple (Note: requires Safari or Microsoft Edge), or the Apple Events app for iOS and tvOS. Various other outlets will live blog the event too (Ars, TheVerge for instance) What
Wild Cards This is the first Apple event to take place in Apple's new campus and at the Steve Jobs Auditorium. It's also the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the iPhone (hence the X moniker for the new high-end iPhone). Apple hasn't surprised the public in some time (mostly due to supply chain leaks in years past) but if there ever was a time for them to announce something unexpected, this would be the time and place to do so. The Animoji feature leaked out only the Friday before so who knows. After the event, please keep all discussion of shipping times, delivery confirmations, and ordering status in this thread.

We also might get 7th generation iPod Touches according to: http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/09/11/7th-gen-ipod-touch-with-face-id-hinted-at-in-ios-11-gm-code ..which would be nice since they pretty much killed off most of the other iPods and haven't updated the Touch since.. July 2015.

Also AirPods are getting a reportedly minor revision.

Just in from Vegas: The O/U on the length of the 10th anniversary Jony Ive wank video is 4.5 minutes.

Like unofficial Apple PR machine John Gruber said, I'd be really worried if Apple makes a big deal out of the "10th anniversary" of the iPhone. It's the obvious thing to do, but it's not something Apple does...

Can't wait for Apple to release the device I'm waiting for, The Pippen 2017.

I am hoping that they'll be releasing a thing like google daydream glasses (but for their ARkit) as the "surprise release." I know there are probably a bunch of ways to hook up your iPhone to a head mounted display for AR gaming and the etc, but it feels like this would be a product space that Apple would want to monetize.

That is such a great entry, especially how the 20th Century Mac was priced and discounted. Also the first line under History where the 3 Apple founders are listed, but only two are worthy of hyperlinks. Krispy Wafer fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Sep 12, 2017 |

That dude actually does have a Wikipedia article: quote:[Wayne] co-founded Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, providing administrative oversight for the new venture. He soon, however, sold his share of the new company for $800 US dollars, and later accepted $1,500 to forfeit any claims against Apple (in total, equivalent to $9,296 in 2016). lol

As a cellphone junkie since I got a Nokia 6110 back in the day, the 6+ is my longest serving phone, and I wouldn't have bothered to upgrade this year were it not for the redesigned iPhone X. I've been wanting to replace my Fitbit with an Apple Watch, but I'll hold off until the battery life is doubled. I forget to charge my Fitbit all the time, and the ability to last a second day without charging is critical. I'd have also been more interested in a 4K Apple TV a year ago, but since then I have upgraded my TV, and my old Apple TV is just collecting dust. I have no need for a 4K Apple TV unless a ton of 4K content becomes available on something other than Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon. I'll be refreshing the website non-stop at 3AM on Friday to get an iPhone X, but if inventory is as constrained as rumored to be, and shipping dates slip into December/January, I might just wait for next year's model and keep my upgrade cycles somewhat in sync with product releases.

In any situation worth step-counting you're going to have your phone on you. It's built in gps-assisted counter is really good. You don't need a watch unless you really want one for whatever reason.

gently caress health.app, i take the subway to work and i work at a desk, I AM NOT A PARAGON OF HEALTH THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME, PHONE but yeah it's actually really accurate, other than heart rate monitoring i don't see what a fitbit would even be for at this point

It's built in gps-assisted counter is really good. I don't need a watch. If anything, I often have weeks where I forget to charge my Fitbit, and go without it, but psychologically, it provides more motivation to walk 20 blocks over taking the train. I used to use the step tracker on the phone before I got a Fitbit, but I feel the need to justify wearing a step tracker, and end up walking a lot more when I wear it. I also find having a smart watch helps for little things like checking the time or a text message, because I'll take a quick glance and get back to whatever I was doing, whereas when I take out my phone, I'll scroll through all of my news notifications, catch up on my different Whatsapp groups, and end up wasting time. Sure I could get over this with a little more discipline, but a technological solution is just so much easier. If the Apple Watch could last 2 full days, I'm sold.

My S2 does. I charge it every other night, just to get some extra mileage out of the battery. The charger stays on my nightstand so you kind of have to deliberately 'forget' to charge it. If I charge it up overnight, by the time I go to bed the next day I'm probably down to ~60% battery. Hell, I'm on 79% right now after not charging last night but giving it a 15 minute charge this morning whilst I took a shower. I mean if you're doing 60 min workouts where the heart rate monitor is on constantly every day then you're gonna get less than that, but I get my 30 mins a day most days in the form of brisk walks and I can't complain.

Is there any way to watch this on an Android tablet or Chromebook? I know the Apple website is Safari or Edge only but I feel like there has to be a secret Youtube mirror or way to play it in VLC or something with the right link.

There's YT mirrors nearly every time, plus buckets of tech channels reshowing the stream and "REACTING" to it. e: most Apple news sites seem to broadcast it too, without the weird tech caveats.
