it’s a wrist loop that’s compatible with the Watch; it’s a sort of leash for the new 4” iPhone, so one doesn’t drop it or lose it, and it fastens to the phone with a brand new proprietary connector of some sort. ;’)
But seriously folks... I think the reference is to Apple’s dandy new HQ, the big sphincter-shaped gargantuan structure, which is indeed a circle or loop if you will — IOW, it’ll be the metaphor, but not really have much to do with the new product intros, which appear to be a little ho-hum.
There’s a 9.7” tablet; 4” iPhone (which will probably have a killer low price, to finish off a number of market competitors — “when the other guy is treading water, put a live hose in his mouth”); either two or three refreshed MacBook Pro models.
Hilariously, there’s also a rumor about an Apple ring, literally a smart ring one wears on one’s finger to communicate with Siri, who is still virtual-living in your phone. That *would* fit the loop idea.

Don’t you mean Siri’s successor, Sauron?
