And stupid to assume that the other models aren't good enough. People don't always need the newest of the new stuff to be happy.

Yep. It makes assumptions that they don't know about iPhone 6, but maybe they did know, and didn't want the latest model? Anyways, I think my issue with this kind of article, is how malicious it kind of is by singling out people with their twitter accounts. I know tweets are public, and whatever. But it just seems unprofessional.

Plus I don't like the underlying intent. Just me though.

can't you sometimes get phone upgrades for free?
they may just be coming off of a 4 or something.

(i really don't know how this works.)

Not with flagship. The cheapest you can get one upfront is using Next program on AT&T and whatever the other carriers call it.

Not necessarily free (some places I don't know), but for example you could have picked up a 5C for $30 and a 5S for $100 since end of June.

Those people didn't necessarily pay $200 for their 5S.

Ehh... I'm not sure. Bunch of biometrics and quick controls / interfaces for your communications and some media consumption, as well as a, you know, clock, seem like something very useful.

I mean I already loved my Jawbone UP24 just for the biometrics alone.
 
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/14pijnadfpvkjnfvpijhabdfvpijbadfv09/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8'. Check the log for details.

Why do I get this issue with VLC?
 
Is there a prayer of an update to the iPod Classic or am I fucked forever, and 160GB is all I will ever get in a standalone music player?

People who, year after year, ask about the iPod Classic are like the people who still think The Last Guardian is coming out.
 
Less than two hours ...

With less than 2 hours to go, I'm getting tense.

Please don't be too big, please don't be too big, please don't be too big...

In the back of my head, I am wishing for an equal-spec'd variant with a 4 inch screen. Am I delusional?
 
Jesus Christ. I need to have Safari to watch the livestream? They'd rather I watch this glorious unveiling on my 13" MBP screen than on my 46" plasma?

Yeah ok.

Yep. And I just scheduled and interview at Best Buy on Friday :D Was "let go" from a different store (long story). Re-applied online and another store contacted me today asking if I was interested :D So, I've got a feeling today is going to be

It's going to be 4.7" and 5.5".

To think anything else at this point is ridiculous.

Hoping for equal specs is slightly less ridiculous, but ridiculous nonetheless.

You can't connect your MacBook Pro to your television?

You're doing it wrong.

Forget an Apple TV. He should have an HDMI or Mini-DVI to HDMI.

These 14 People Did Not Get the Memo About New iPhones Coming Out Today
Click to expand...

How stupid. It's not like their 5s is gonna burst into flames when the new one is announced. If they found a good deal, good for them.

Anyway, I'm genuinely curious if Apple will actually take advantage of the bigger screens on software level. At first I thought the 5.5" might run iPad apps, but the aspect ratio screws that one up.

And looking at all the wasted space in the iPad's UI doesn't make me hopeful. But we'll see.
 
Just hope that the iWatch will be a little bit independent from the iPhone. That all the health and fitness things can work on it's own and maybe have mobile payments in there as well via a NFC chip. And of course function as a watch; preferably a circular one, but all reports points at something else.

TouchID was said to be part of Apple's mobile payment plans for additional security, so although payments by the watch would be handy I wouldn't expect it.

One day I hope I can go into an Apple conference and say: My credit card is ready.

Not today tho.

That would be a little awkward.

You just walk into the convention hall in the middle of Cook's keynote and shout that your credit card is ready.

He'd probably tell you that that's nice and all, "But the iPhone isn't out until next week."

Then they'd kick you out.

:lol
 
Still do not understand the iTV rumors or why Apple would ever get into such a pointless low margin business.

I've said from the start they'll never release a TV, I'd probably wager money they don't. Even if the idea was thrown around at one point any serious look at the TV industry would have Apple running for the hills.

Aside from smart TV's just not making much sense in general. Makes so much more sense for a component connected to the TV to handle those features... For an endless array of reasons. And makes more sense as a business for Apple to continue to improve and push Apple TV.
