I'm not in the market for a new iphone this year (and I don't need a new ipod but I might pick one up just because i'm a geek about this stuff) so I'm more looking forward to a revamped itunes that simplifies the way itunes match and icloud syncing works. And anything that makes it faster to swich between store and library and could also provide better song recommendation stuff from the store - similar to how zune sw worked.

All this would be great.
Not sure whether I'm going to grab the iPhone this year. Haven't upgraded since the 4.

So any rumors as to when we can expect the iPad mini announcement? Early October or this month?

Sucks I'm going to be out for this event and Nintendo's event tomorrow. All my instructors need to come down with something soon.

revamped itunes likely wouldn't be announced at the event today. More likely at the next event.

All signs point to early October with a late October release.
LTE spec should be dropped as a standard if companies like Samsung can file a legitimate suit against a company for including it in their product. That is not how standards are supposed to work. If this were ever a possibility in the first place, the wireless companies should have refused to roll it out because of the potential difficulties it would cause.
I hope that does not come to pass.
Can not wait to get home and curl up in front of the computer to watch the news roll in this morning
You and me both. Hopefully Samsung can at least leverage this into a scenario where fair licensing fees are paid by apple, and the 1 billion dollar wrist slap is voided. I'm not exactly the biggest fan of iOS or Apple, but it would be pretty sucky to see a lot of my friends and family not get this phone over shit they can't control.

They tried several times last year with some 3g patents. 0 of their cases were won.
The best they can hope for is to get Apple to license the patents.

My contract is up and Verizon has been hounding me to upgrade for a while now and I'm still on the fence about returning to the iPhone after 2 years with Android.
Here's hoping for a wow feature to push me towards the iPhone over the GNex.

So much stuff I want to buy if it comes out, I want an updated touch with a bigger screen, I want to buy the ipad mini and sell my current new ipad, I love it and it's retina for browsing but i'm not using it enough and it's usually sat in a dock to hold it upright instead of me holding it. I also want to jump in on the iphone this christmas when my galaxy ace contract ends in december.
so much apple stuff, I never thought that I would own so much only 2 years ago lol

factory leaks, lots of mockups. The phone has never been unveiled though. It's happening in a few hours.

I'm just wondering if the iPad mini will be shown today. Isn't there a rumor it will have its own conference in October? I'm curious of the specs of the thing...mainly resolution, gpu, cpu. I'd definitely get one if it was decent enough. I see no real reason to get an android tablet being I already have a galaxy nexus and the apps and such are pretty much identical between Android phones & tablets.
If great OS performance, and leading app support isn't enough, then features certainly won't be what push you back to an iPhone from a nexus.

for real. People need to get the idea of surprise revolutionary features out of their heads lol. If you're looking for an excuse to not get an iphone, just don't get one. The OS itself should be the reason you want one. It's drastically different than the competition, for better or for worse depending on what you think of it.

yeah, just felt strange to see a "mock up" on an official apple site, but maybe that site aint official apple.

Can wait to see what the iPhone 5 has to offer. My iPhone 4 has been showing its age since the last update and runs incredibly sluggish since I got iTunes match. Let's hope that I can get some decent $$$ for my iphone 4 so that this costs me little or nothing to purchase.

Well today I will decide if its finally time to ditch my iPhone, I have been using iPhone since day 1 with the old iPhone 2G, its been a good phone and it has been fun seeing it evolve from web apps to apps to cloud, etc, etc... but Android sets are looking way more advanced and the OS itself is really nice too.
Since Apple is changing the dock connector anyway, its the perfect excuse to finally take a deep look and see what I truly need without me worrying about the hundred of dollars I have invested in docks for my house/office.
Im secretly hoping that Apple actually surpasses other phones to be honest, we will see, time to shine Apple.

I keep reading this in the thread.
- 3GS can't browse the web correctly since some update
- 4 and 4S became sluggish
Everyone finds this normal ?

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
There's not a chance the new iPad will be even mentioned today, let alone shown, this isn't the WWDC, WWDC is different because it usually covers Apples direction as a whole, this is a product reveal and they tend to keep those very tightly focused.
Apple know how to make the most out of the press their reveals get, so wouldn't waste the opportunity for another event a month down the road when the new iPhones press dies down.

you know they'll be selling adapters for the new connectors right? Your docks and stuff won't be garbage.
it's not normal, like not one bit.

my 4 runs fine. I don't have much installed though.

Spoilers!
Same guy fucked up a bunch of info about the iPhone 4S as well last year. Total idiot.
My 4S works silky smooth, so no, not everybody finds this normal, because it's not happening (not for all of us anyway...? :S)

I might have to try this. My 4 runs like hell on iOS 5. I'll do a full restore with 6.

can't say it any better than that
Implying only the iPhone has great OS performance are we?
Anyways, can't wait to see what's shown today.
Yeah, do it.
My 4 sort of choked to death as it was running out of space. Full restore of iOS 5 and it was completely reborn.
I can only speak for the 4, but after the latest update, its certainly not as smooth as it used to be. There are stutters even moving from page to page once in a while (granted, there's a shitloads of apps installed). Where it used to be about as smooth (smoother even) than a jellybean device, its now ICS level. Still good, just not what it used to be.
My dad's 4s from what little time I have with it, is still flawless, only rivaled by win phones really.
I was thinking the same until the rumors hit of new ipods getting announced today. so then I was thinking that the new itunes might get revealed at the same time.
What do you guys think about the possibility of Tim Cook making a reference to all the leaks, like Steve Jobs did when he unveiled the iPhone 4?
I always find these hilarious.
I'm not expecting many surprises (though I'll be disappointed if there's none). Bigger screen, 4g (which I couldn't care less about, since it seems we won't get 4g networks until 2014 in Spain), faster, better, whatever.
I'll probably get one to replace my 4 regardless.

Probably GM for devs today, and out for everyone next week.
I'm hoping for this. I'll install a GM early every time. risk is negligible compared to running a beta

I wonder what's in iOS6 that they haven't shown off yet. There hasn't been a new version in a long time, obviously because there is something in it they want to reveal themselves I assume...

So weird that they're calling it iPhone 5, I really wasn't expecting that.
