Endless Mike: Aug 13, 2003

The current AppleTV OS is already derived from iOS, so that's not much of a prediction.

According to Twitter Apple redid the typography of all the signs in the center they are holding the event in. Apple is just so adorable.

Kenderama: Please take this as intended (internet fun and games, not trying to call you out), but I think you'll be wrong on quite a few points:

Kenderama posted:

OS X 10.11 Launch Date - Likelihood: 100%
Tim will disclose this and maybe give 5 minutes to this.

I think the closest we'll get to a release date is "later this year"/"fall" which we knew already.

Kenderama posted:

New iPhones - Likelihood: 100%
I'm not quite entirely sure what will make these stand out - a processor bump, low-end being 32gig or 64gig storage, or maybe the lack of a physical touch-ID button.

I don't think we'll get a storage bump or the non-physical button; Apple were quite defiant about moving data to the cloud meaning 16gigs was enough last year, and this year they've made pushes towards reducing app size, so I can't see them stepping up the low end. As for the button, I can't believe we'll see any hardware changes these days without them leaking months in advance.

Kenderama posted:

I do not expect a new iPhone '6c' though.

I don't disagree, but this is the only place I hope I'm wrong. I've used iPhones for years and my day job is an iOS developer, but this is about the only thing that will stop me jumping ship to an Xperia Compact. I'm still using an iPhone 5 and really don't like the 6 size/design.

Kenderama posted:

I think we'll see launch dates as "Available to Order on September 25th"

I'm pretty sure history suggests availability the Friday after the announcement, i.e. Sept 18th.

.. Let's see who's right!

Froist posted:

The "force touch" on the phones will just be varying levels of pressure resulting in different actions, not haptic feedback from the display.

(I own the MacBook and it is really cool there, but I'd be amazed if that's what we get on the phones. It hasn't been rumoured in that regard anywhere.)

NYT posted:

So, theoretically on an iPhone, you�ll be able to get to different software features depending on how hard you press down on the screen. Then with haptic feedback you will �feel� a physical response to touching those virtual buttons.

The NYT is suggesting that haptic feedback will be there "theoretically." We will see in a half hour.

TinTower: Apr 21, 2010; You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

El Capitan may be released concurrently, as the betas have been coming out quicker than they did for Yosemite. Especially with more features being reliant on having El Cap and iOS 9.

Stream's gone live. The earlier VLC-compatible links don't seem to be working.
Here's a 960x540 link: http://appleliveevents-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/222436/1509pijnedfvopihbefvpijlkjb/master/2500/2500.m3u8

Can't seem to find a 720p one currently (I assume the HLS stream is 720p)

Hello I am here to watch the the AppleTVTVTV be launched.

The last apple live stream I watched was a hilarious highschool AV-club hour long technical folly. I hope a few of those people kept their jobs to bumble through this one. It was kind of fun how low rent it was for a $600 billion dollar company.

It's 10am for me and I am down for a drinking game.

I may have a problem, though.

E. The only thing I have is a bottle of cognac. This might get dangerous

I'm hoping they show a videogame utilizing force touch today, which will really highlight it's uses.

TyrantWD: Nov 6, 2010; Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible

Cue everyone talking about how stupid it is to have a large tablet, or how the new Apple TV doesn't do anything that their Roku doesn't already do, and that no one wants to play iOS games on a TV anyway.

drat, MUCH higher production value on this livestream than in the past. It's like they're a multi-billion dollar company or something!

Hopefully every dress shirt is tucked in this year. Last year it looked like a freshman highschool dance up there.

A story has already leaked out that an official launch channel exclusive to apple is a fashion channel.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

So far it's looking really good for Kenderama.
