[seb]

what is this then?

 

[Tom]

Its a developers conference, should see iOS 6 and the near final build of mountain lion.

I doubt we will see an iPhone 5, but you never know.

 

[DannyR]

iOS 6? Seems very quick.

I'd imagine they'll make a big thing of 5.1 as they did with 4.3 IIRC.

 

[eugegall]

Its the week we've all be waiting for

Could this be a hint that finally we will see the iPhone 5? I doubt it in my opinion as most people who got the 4S on contract would not be able to upgrade 3/4 months early.

 

[Sym0n]

Apple wouldn't really care, they know that the majority of their fan base would upgrade early anyway. But no I'm doubtful that it will see the 'New iPhone' (see if they follow the naming of the iPad) being announced, although I'm pretty sure that the 4S was the first iPhone to break the June release date trend. Meh, we'll find out in just over a month either way.

 

[Revels]

iOS 6? Seems very quick.

I'd imagine they'll make a big thing of 5.1 as they did with 4.3 IIRC.

What are you talking about? It's a year after.

5.1 was out months ago.

 

[Stumpy]

Hopefully they'll be announcing the new Macbook range as I'm due an upgrade so there's no point in buying at the moment!

 

[Tom]

Hopefully they'll be announcing the new Macbook range as I'm due an upgrade so there's no point in buying at the moment!

This is far more likely, expect hi res macs and possibly hybrid SSD storage.

 

[paddymph]

I just wanna see a new phone.

 

[Tom]

I just wanna see a new phone.

Unlikely

 

[Christopher]

Unlikely, but I'd love it. I never bothered with the 4S so I'm feeling quite poverty nowadays.

If the new iMacs are everything they say, I'll be looking at a replacement for the 27.

 

[Revels]

If the new iMacs are everything they say, I'll be looking at a replacement for the 27.

If it gets bigger, I might be tempted.

27" is so 2010.

 

[Sym0n]

If this hadn't been announced already I'd have walked out of Trafford Centre with an iMac on Saturday, but now instead I'm waiting till June and seeing what's announced.

 

[Gally]

I'm not holding my breath for any phone announcements sadly.

If it had been maybe a few months later I would have been more inclined to say there might be a phone announcement. We shall see guys.

 

[Keydogg]

Imho it's pretty obvious that they moved the phone to the October announcement (in line with the iPods iirc?) and will continue at that time each year for phones.

 

[Gally]

I hope that's true. Anyway they would wait until next year to announce any phone?

 

[Sym0n]

Highly doubtful, but still possible.

 

[Gally]

We shall see guys. Looking forward to actually being on a rolling contract in time for the next gen phone.

 

[Y7 ADW]

I like many of you just want to see a new iPhone but judging by what you all think i'm not holding my breath. It would be perfect for me if it was a release of the 5 as my contract runs out on my 4 in June..

 

[Ronnie R]

I reckon new MacBook's and possibly iMacs. Also iOS6.

No iPhone

 

[Krispwee]

Could be a massive update if that is to be believed. Anyone seen what time / day the big keynote will be?

 

[Gouldy]

I hope there is a new iPhone although I doubt it. I'm out of contract so Im waiting for the new handset to be released, I'll be sticking with my 4 until then.

 

[cava83]

If it gets bigger, I might be tempted.

27" is so 2010.

I have a 30" and it's too big.

 

[Reev]

Pah, I'm with Revels. When I bought my iMac I thought 27" would be too big, yet I was used to it after about 10 minutes and now I want a bigger monitor.

 

[eugegall]

Will any big announcements be tomorrow on the first day?

 

[Krispwee]

Keynote is 6pm UK time tomorrow for 90 mins and thats when all the announcements will take place.

 

[Harpham]

Will it be available to watch on the Apple website?

 

[DannyR]

Usually available afterwards but not live.

Plenty of websites have text and picture updates throughout which are usually quite good

 

[Krispwee]

Engadget, GDGT, cnet, Verge, MacRumors, 9to5Mac and Cult of Mac to name but a few. Just look round the home pages for their Liveblog tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Alexiooo]

Apple haven't done a live stream ever since the music event in Sept '10 IIRC.

Might be something to do with Chris Martin off of Coldplay swearing at the end of his song he played I think.

 

[ChrisR]

Hoping for a screen res increase (finally) on the 13inch MBP, will be tempted to flog this one to my folks and buy myself a new one

 

[Tom]

Doesnt look like thats going to happen. Annoyingly.

 

[Jay.]

Dependant on what happens, I might be tempted to get a fully specced 15" MBP.

Love my 13", but its a few years old now and need MOAR speed.

 

[cava83]

Me too, but doesn't look like it as Tom said. I don't understand the reasoning behind it, rather frustrating. Bring on being able to drive non-dual external screens without third party devices such as Matrox.

Looking forward to the MacPro, hopefully there might be a slight re-design of it and descent specs, some people are stating that they will still have the 5770 gcards, not that it affects me, but seems odd.

 

[ChrisR]

Doesnt look like thats going to happen. Annoyingly.

I know, shame as it's not as if the technology isn't there, but guess they have their reasons.

 

[Gavin.]

Store is down already.

 

[Tom]

Store is down already.

It's been down for hours

 

[Gavin.]

Ah right, its the first time I had looked.

 

[Tom]

Word of warning guys, don't post a load of b****cks while the keynote is on. It will only be binned.

I'll update the OP with the announcements.
