hello and welcome to the first apple event in over 6 months. did you have a nice christmas? happy new year! it looks like apples new year resolution was to honor savior of computing who died for our sins steve jobs because theyre making the best versions ever of the products he loved the most:

- an iphone for donald trump-sized hands
- the the new ipad
- apple watch bands
- mobileme

:siren: if youre in europe the keynote is at 6pm cet, 5pm london because the us is already on daylight savings :siren:

the iphone se is rumored to have most but not all of the 6s features. mark gurman says it will look like a 5s while others say it will look like a 6. mark gurman is the 9to5mac guy i had to look up his name. i never read his site i prefer apple inside her but they never get any scoops

the ipad should be an ipad pro mini but hopefully they will not call it that out loud. that means you will be able to draw on it and attach bad keyboards to it using magnets because people dont understand that bluetooth exists or what it does and we must keep it a secret

the watch bands include a black milanese loop for people who have bad taste and nato-style bands for guys who wanna feel like theyre jack bauer

ios 9.3 will probably be mentioned. it includes a mode where you can simulate what it would look like if a person with kidney issues urinated inside your phone. this is supposed to be good for your eyes, claims an idiot

-an idiot

hopefully this will be the keynote where tim discusses why the iwatch was a bad idea and announces that it has been discontinued, along with the ipad mini, maxi and phones larger than the se

i'd even take no discussion of the failing iwatch while they quietly remove it along with the ipad mini/maxi from the apple store

I just want a phone I can fit in my reasonably sized pockets and my 5S is about as large as I'd like

the watch is bad and i sold mine a little while back. it took forever to sell for a reasonable price because no one wanted the loving thing

if the SE is reasonably priced i'll probably sell my 6 for hopefully most of the SE's full cost and upgrade

also ground floor. iPhone 5 form factor was the best so I'm really hoping it's this even though I'm happy with my 6s (success) and not planning on getting a new phone yet

I preferred the 4/4S form factor but we're never going to see a phone that size again.

are they really gonna remove the headphone jack

am i really going to end up buying a goddamn $30 lightning to headphone adapter

the only prediction im willing to make is that apple is going to do at least one thing to further besmirch the "professional" market. exceptionally underwhelming macbook pro update?

i'm really excited that they're gonna make a phone in a good size again but if they seriously didn't put a headphone jack on it then it's all a fakeout and the iphone 5s was the last good phone apple ever made

i'll bite, but i've only ever upgraded on the non-s cycle so i've had this phone since release, same as the 5 i had before it. the 6 is a good phone and all but the 5 was my favorite form factor and really durable too so i'm glad they're making it.

My 5S was bought on release day and looks pristine. My wife has a 5 bought on release day and it's pristine too. Bombass phones.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Small phones are cool and good, i already have an ipad and that's why i bought a sony xperia z5c, the thinking mans choice

I was one of the dudes who hated the idea of the iphone 5 when it was announced and now I think it's probably the best cellphone ever. odd how that works
