“Apple has scheduled a big media event for Tuesday, Sept. 9 — a date to which Apple numerologists will strain to attribute significance,” John Paczkowski reports for Re/code.
“As with September events past, the focal point of this one is to be Apple’s next-generation iPhones, which are expected to feature larger displays of 4.7 and 5.5 inches and run speedy new A8 processors,” Paczkowski reports. “Apple declined comment.”

MacDailyNews Take: 9/9. Chisel it in stone! Just over one excruciating month to go!
All right Apple, bring it on.
The first true post-Jobs iPhone. This’ll be huge
Pun intended?
Not really big on puns.
don’t want big on my phone, either
Wow – and Apple hasn’t even announced this event and it is news.. These rumors are getting out of control.
Working in an Apple retail environment , I need to separate fact from fiction, I count on MDN to help me do so. I’d very much appreciate if MDN could preface rumors with Rumor: in the title.
Quit reading this site if you want to separate fact from fiction. Tell me, what will you do once you’ve separated the fact from fiction? Because the fiction is going to be much greater than the facts.
This site would be pretty boring if I we talked about were the facts. It’s been MDN common practice for years to put Rumor: in the title if the article was a rumor.
This article was presented as fact. Even if accurate it’s still a rumor. There’s a big difference.
Oh… and what I do after I’ve “separated the fact from fiction” is consult my clients, so they can make educated purchase decisions. Even though I enjoy it, reading news and rumor sites isn’t fun and games for all of us.
I wish it was taking place on 9/11, so it could take attention away from dwelling on that terrorist attack
Yes, it was pretty horrible what those wannabe terrorists did in Chile 1973.
I’ll wait for an official announcement from Apple
Until then, it’s all just rumor…
So, now we know when Samsung and Microsoft will make their product announcements – the week before Sept 9. Let the FUD begin!
Alas, Cyber Monday sales fall on Dec 1 this year.
Dear MDN:
The correct response should be,
‘Dear Apple: Surprise me’.
That’s what Steve loved to do. Enough rumours. Let them have a little fun.
What is even worse is having to wait 3 weeks after they announce it to get it!
I’m excited about the new iPhones… but my 2-year AT&T contract isn’t up until November, so I have to wait. Sad kitty.
T-mobile will pay your ETF if you switch.
ONE. MORE. THING!!!!
My guess is announcement on September 9, goes on sale September 19 and is pushing delivery dates into December by September 21.
MDN needs to revise their take to read as follows…
Just over one EXCRUCIATING month to go!
Hear that tick-tocking Samsung? It’s the clock rhythm to your ‘swan song’!
So for the next month we will be extremely barraged with Samdung & Microsloth advertisements about “the next big thing” all the while showing & mentioning Apple products by name thereby giving free advertisement to Apple.
M¢ is set to re-announce Courier in another attempt to freeze the market.
9/9… That’s two inverted sixes. Maybe they’re about to turn the tech world upside down?
During the reveal a cool one last thing would be, “And we will begin taking online orders on the count of three. READY?!? One, Two, Threeeee!!!!”
It would be fun to see the shorts fry.
