Remember the rumour last year that one of the iPhone models would be called the "iPhone Math"?

Yes. Was a mistranslation of iPhone plus

 

[Sapiens]

I wonder if it will be iphone6+

 

[iMax]

So what's the deal with online Apple Store pre-orders? Do they ever come before release day? And if something is damaged and it needs exchanging, am I screwed or do they reserve stock for DOAs?

 

[rezuth]

Is this 1 or 2 hours long?

2.5

 

[mackaveli]

2.5

Is that confirmed or a guess?

 

[iMax]

Is that confirmed or a guess?

It'll be 90mins to 2hrs most likely.

 

[Final Boss]

Can this be streamed using a windows computer? I'm hoping some streaming service streams this for windows desktops

 

[Shearie]

It'll be 90mins to 2hrs most likely.

My first class of the day ends at 9:50am and my next one starts at 12:00pm so hopefully I can watch the whole keynote.

Someone will probably stream it somewhere unofficially, not sure if you can stream it using Safari on Windows?

 

[Technosteve]

iPhone 3 + 2 + 1

 

[Mononoke]

Yeah I checked the serial a couple times and it wasn't affected. I was planning to refresh the phone completely to see if that would help but I'm kinda lazy on doing that, I've been using my same icloud backup or whatever for years

Damn that sucks man. Are you going to get another iPhone? Or you going to wait to see what the battery is like? I would be turned off tbh if the battery continues to be that poor.

 

[Guess Who]

I use an iPhone 5 and compared it to a Moto X a while back - my iPhone got a bit less battery life (I'd say an hour or so), but it was also a year old compared to the brand-new X. Sucks to hear that so many 5 users have had issues, because it does seem to be a common complaint about the 5.

Turn off background app refresh, that's a total battery hog especially for twitter and Facebook etc.

 

[Buddha Beam]

I would think that the 5.5" iPhone would be called iPhone 6 Pro. That falls in line with Apple's other naming conventions at any rate. Seems like it's going to be announced at the iPad event though. There haven't been many part leaks, unlike the 4/7" one. I guessif it is real, we'll see a ton of part leaks soon enough.

 

[jts]

I'm betting on iPhone Air.

Bet is off if they pull the Air moniker out of the iPad later this year.

What if they call the 5.5" iPhone the iPhone 6 and they call the 4.7" iPhone the iPhone 6 mini lol

According to apple.com it says safari needs to be running on OS X or iOS, with Apple TV being the 3rd option

I like the name Iphone Air to match my Ipad Air!

 

[kaskade]

I'm pretty sure you can take the streaming link and plug it into VLC and it'll work.

VLC?

 

[Toki767]

Wouldn't even be surprised if they named it something like iPhone 6 Air with Super Retina at this rate.

 

[kaskade]

VLC?

Guessing.

iPhone - 45min
iWatch - 45min
iOS 8 - 30min
Developer showcase - 30min

U2 - 5-10 min

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Hard to decide between 4.7 and 5.5...

God, I just need to know the differences so that I can be anxious about getting my order in.

 

[NinjaMouse]

iPhone 6 Less
iPhone 6 More

I'd wager that they drop the "6" altogether. Probably an iPhone Air and iPhone Pro. No basis for that other than they'll get it in line with their other products' naming convention or something.

iWatch, so hype, much big.

 

[Zeth]

live.twit.tv will stream it with commentary

 

[subrock]

Just made some cardboard mockups of the new sizes. Holy shit the 5.5" is crazy

 

[Volotaire]

I'm ready.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Historic? That's a dangerous word.

 

[rezuth]

You should warn people that Leo Laporte is going to be there.

Hype through the roof.

Apple seems to have a history of their event taglines hinting at key announcements.

Has there been much speculation on what "We wish we could say more" might mean beyond "bigger phones"? Big improvements to Siri? Much more advanced social media integration? Voice control of the iWatch?

 

[subrock]

A nice guide for how the keynote will probably go:

I'm hoping for a stealth iPad Air 2 upgrade

Indeed, haha. I enjoy it occasionally to fill the dead air on a secondary monitor.

 

[Dany]

I'm going to assume there will be an ipad event this fall + other mac updates.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

When was the last time Apple had a timer for one of these things? I feel like that puts a hell of a lot of pressure on this to deliver.

Hair Force One will dominate.

One more thing... the iWatch. Yes I said it, the iWatch.

god at least get someone good like ariana grande to play

 

[celebi23]

Just added some liveblogs incase people can't watch the live stream. Going to watch this in Chrome and the watch it on my tv via Chromecast To do this, just change the user agent in Chrome to this: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.78.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.6 Safari/537.78.2". That should trick the live stream page to play the stream. Or, just enter the direct stream url (once it's found) into VLC.

 

[Singaporn]

Maybe dre will bust on the mic ala kendrick/imagine dragon style.

The secret apple surprise
