Apple Media Event - 10th September 2013

[AgnesIO]

Can't wait for iOS 7! Any predictions on when it'll be ready to download? As for the ipad launch I don't think that'll happen, it'll be all about the iPhones.

18th September, 2 days prior to a 20th September release for the new phones - or so has been rumoured.

Isn't that obvious lol? It'd cause a lot of grief if the new iPhones got the OS before the rest of the older devices.

It seems silly to give old owners the update first, but they will. Makes more sense to release it AFTER the upgraders and new buyers use it.

Would be very surprised to see new iPads - it wouldn't be customary to release two major products (from separate divisions) at the same event. I think the iPhone 5C is Apple's way of finally erasing the iPod Touch.

Unfortunately, I am now working all afternoon and evening so won't be around for the event

I wonder how long it will take to get a jailbreak for this IOS. Seems to be getting harder for these guys to make one each time

Looking forward to see what comes out of this event.

Doubt Steve would've made a cheaper iPhone, or the iPad Mini for that matter. Anywho....

I imagine he had plans for them before he died - he was a smart guy, and would go where the market looked strong.

Exactly. I'm not much of an Apple fan but sick of hearing Steve wouldn't have done this. When Steve was in good health there wasn't' as much competition. Steve might have disliked certain stuff but it's now what's selling and at the end of the day he was a businessman wanting to make money.

I'm also surprised to see no mention of the iWatch. Obviously it's still just a rumour but with Samsung just showing their Galaxy Gear Smart Watch it would be a good time to announce it. Apple hasn't had anything new in quite some time and I can see this being the product that got them back to the top.

Tim Cook basically gave it away that they were developing a smart watch a few months back,

Also, speaking of Steve I think I read somewhere that Steve had basically developed a plan for products of the company to follow for like the next 20 years, like Steve started to develop the iPad way before the iPhone.

Personally if I saw someone with a iPhone 5C I'll cringe thinking they can't afford the real deal so they get a cheap knock off. Rather vomit and eat it.

Bet everyone will get the cheaper one though - if it is sold in the UK certainly the more expensive one will see less sales. Millions still buy the iPhone 4S and 4, so I have no doubt they would get the 5C. If anything, I can really see Apple's market share in the UK and USA markets growing relatively significantly, if they release the cheaper model there.

Yeah I'm not doubting it'll not sell. It will. That's pretty clear, but personally I just feel its a tacky and cheap remake with some what worse specs to the 5S - From what rumours have stated.

And the feel of it also, not really something I would want to touch daily if its made of what every website is stating.

Oh totally, personally I wouldn't do it anyway - but then as a self-labelled "tech geek", I am not usually one to go for the budget option. I imagine they are slowly eroding the iPod Touch away, which explains the absurd price hike for the last generation, and basically gives people what they wanted years ago (ie. the iPod Touch to have cellular capabilities).

I hope it isn't a huge success, but, judging by the iPad Mini sales I totally expect it to be.
