Expect it 2 days prior to new hardware launch at the latest.
Isn't it straight after the conference?

The developer GM version will be released right after. That's supposed to be the final version and anyone can install it but it's technically still not a public release. It should be available to everyone about a week later.
I get the same thing.

iPhone 5s or iPhone 6 4,7" it is then (although it would be more like 5" thanks to those bezels)

That and a dev GM sometimes ISN'T the final version.

Yeah I would expect GM at conference. Public release 1 week after that and new iPhones on sale on 19th.

Was reading The Verge summary about tomorrow's event and totally forgot about the iPod line. Last iPod Touch update was in 2012, and the last iPod Classic was in 2009...which was just storage increase. Gone are the days when the iPod line got its own conference, and so much effort was put in to their design. The 5G iPod looked so good at the time, and the old black Apple website page made it look really classy.
I think it usually is.

It was expanded in lineup, but not updated.

There will be no new Macs. They'll already have their plate full. Macs will be either October or November most likely. Probably November. October will be iPads. But who knows. No one.

I'm watching last year's iPhone announcement

I need to sell my iPhone 5. Issue is, I use it. So I can't sell until I get the new phone. Wonder how bad the prices will be by then...

Nice, but needs a ghostly image of Steve smiling down on the train.
Lolwhat, the "I'm a mac" guy? We're digging deep here.
That is my predicament and worry especially with the rumor I saw that they may release the 5.5" version after the 4.7"

Yeah, I think I'll go from my 5 to a 5S this time. Shame.
Look forward to the event all the same. I'm sure it'll be an amazing device but I wish it looked as sleek as the last three versions. A real step backwards.

Why don't you like the next program ?
Why not just put a sleek looking case on it, if aesthetics is your concern.
Upgrade eligibility is now after 24 months anyway. So if you've had your phone for 2 years, you can upgrade. It used to be 20 months but they got rid of it.
AT&T Next isn't completely horrible though.
To be fair, you have to give up your current phone to upgrade. It's horrible for scenarios where you typically hand down your phone to someone who doesn't need the latest and greatest.
That's not what the person on the phone at AT&T told me... but maybe they don't know anything.
They said I could upgrade my 1yr old 5S to a 6 whatever with no money down, an additional monthly payment depending upon the model, and that I could keep my old 5S, and that I could upgrade in 12 months without handing over my now new then old iPhone 6 whatever just by picking up a new monthly payment (and not continuing the old monthly payment).
EDIT: yeah that's not exactly what it says here

I'm keeping my 5S though even if I upgrade to a 6.
Yeah...that's definitely not how it works. You can keep your phone only if you've paid off the full value of the phone.
yeah that's not exactly what it says here

I'm keeping my 5S though even if I upgrade to a 6.
Indeed. I sold my iPhone 4 for $200 when I bought the iPhone 5 two years ago. Essentially I didn't have to pay any additional money to upgrade. Plan on doing the same this time around.
AT&T Next is a scam.
AT&T wanted us off of our old plan so bad that they are gonna allow me to upgrade this year after one year without handing in my old phone and without completing the two year contract.
And it seemed like our bill was going down. So I'm not sure how I got scammed?

Yeah, totally right, I've considered it and I'm tempted. Having said that, every time I've picked up a case for my previous iPhones I've quickly grown tired of them and always end up going commando. We'll see, I might do that.
Kind of hard to misinterpret this as being able to keep your phone after a year...
Yeah that's true. It may have been my mistake, but in any case my 1 year old subsidized 5S is fully mine because we switched to the new plan and AT&T will let me upgrade this year without taking my 5S from me.

No one wants a 5 and a half foot phone. And I agree. I'm not sure I'll be getting a 5.5" but would hate for the 4.7" to be gimped.

Is there a way to stream the conference tomorrow without using an apple device?
Ah. I see what happened then. Yeah. I believe theoretically, a lot of people who got a subsidized phone on contract can switch to AT&T Next and just keep their phone even less than a year into their contract and still get a new phone. I don't know that a lot of people take advantage of it though.
