The forward facing flash will provide many entertaining moments when the “untechnical” accidentally set off the flash in their eyes.

I'm surprised they chose such a big venue for this event--unless not only are they unveiling the new iPhone 6s and 6s+ and the new Apple TV, but other things like WatchOS 2.0 for the Apple Watch and maybe even new iPad models.

Having it at Flint Center last year made sense, given the iPhone 6 and 6+ were the biggest change to the iPhone since the iPhone 4 in 2010--and it was the event that showed off the Apple Watch for the very first time.

Apple, please just make my 6 Plus work reliably. Touch input stops all the time in Safari (cannot click links). Safari stalls out randomly — won’t resolve IPs. I have to constantly kill all running apps, clear cache and history on Safari, and restart the thing to get it running again. Then it all starts degrading and going into the toilet again. I did not expect all these on-going problems. I wish Apple and MS would take a breather and fix long-standing problems before jumping to the next gee-whiz feature.

Wow they still haven’t realized that they missed the market window on the TV appliance thing. Now they’re adding voice control so that your Apple TV will work just like your PS4 or XBox One. And of course the cultists this is nothing like anything anybody else has ever done.

I’m psyched. I have an iPhone 4S. Running OS 6 . The first date to upgrade to a new phone is Sept 7, and as soon as I heard about the rose gold iPhone a few months ago I’ve been waiting.

Can’t wait to purchase. Rose gold sounds pretty and I’m a girly girl.

I’m also getting the watch at the same time. My birthday is next week. It’s my birthday present to me.

I'll wait until the announcement before I decide. I have a 5c and I don't really want a bigger phone. The one I have fits in my pocket just fine.

I may be interested in the new AppleTV, I have a gen3.
