Apple plans to stream their October 16th special media event, “It’s been way too long,” live at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT.
Will we get frozen video, color bars, live truck slates, and/or Chinese audio translation underlaid throughout? Tune in next Thursday to find out!
Seriously, we’re exceedingly hopeful that it’ll go better than Apple’s last attempt.
Rumors and speculation call for new iPads, including a svelte new A8-powered iPad Air with Touch ID, and new Macs, including the possibility of a new 27-inch iMac with Retina display and maybe even a new Mac mini.
Also expected is the public release of OS X Yosemite, so we all finally get some Continuity into our lives between our Macs and iPhones, iPad, and iPod touches.
And, as always, the possibility of “one more thing” looms.
MacDailyNews will offer live notes that day starting at 10am PDT/1pm EDT. Check our home page that day for the article link!

Apple TV with an A5 chip, its been, “way too long”, for an update.
Apple TV lacking apps and games has been, “way too long”, in the waiting.
Its been “way too long” that all Apple products are offered the latest processors – and launched together. And would be wise to keep last years processor as the alternative price savings option.
Once Apple offers a powerhouse AppleTV box, at the same price point as today, those SmartTV (webOS) and (AndyBot) offerings will be crying help. Look closely at the pricing of those TVs.
On the low end, typically the same size television and make comparing its smart offering and none – is about 80.00 bucks.
As you move on up in size, interestingly, the consumer is confronted with paying up and over 180.00 bucks for the option of wifi and web abilities (so called smart) to the TV.
Roku has given Apple a good challenge by offering so much more (quality not suggested here). Nonetheless, Apple TV needs to offer more services and life to this device. Its been way too long for an updated powerful AppleTV with an A8 M8 chip set and some kind of Siri/Bluetooth/Controller. Also offering games and apps, making it a real sweet tiny computer. Bingo, may see the light here.
I think a fitting way to start this event is for Tim Cook to bring on stage the fool who was responsible for the last streaming f__k up. Then, with the world watching, Cook can tell the guy: Your fired!
That guy and the GTAT CEO in a steel cage match.
When a CEO not over see his team well enough to allows these f__k ups – he is who is ultimately responsible.
Not saying Tim needs to step down though.
People are not robots, and robots are only as good as they are programmed. Human error and technical miss haps occur. Forget, forgive and move on. Or use the general 3 strikes you are out!
Great headline MDN.
Indeed: Here’s to execution!
Come on Apple IT guy. Turn up the bandwidth this time. And make sure you mute the Chinese Translator. OK??
Hopefully the familiar confines of the Apple Campus Town Hall will mean there won’t be any glitches this time. I always kind of figured that the problems with the iPhone Event were partially due to the unfamiliar venue.
Have MDN suddenly become affiliated to ISIS? Perhaps this event will be a bigger shock than we think if so.
Ist Ehat zum Teufel dieser chinesische Audio hier für?
¿Ehat coño está aquí para este audio chino?
Ehat la baise est ce chinois audio ici pour ?
EHAT porra é este áudio chinês aqui para?
Ехать ебут этот китайский аудио включен здесь для?
Let’s hope they EXECUTE! whoever was responsible for the debacle that was the iPhone 6 streaming announcement and find someone who can actually get it right this time!
I’m not a capital punishment advocate. But torturing and branding is justified in this instance.
Apple’s last attempt was pretty lousy. The AppleWatch part went fine but the first half was well below expectations on quality. What’s funny is I thought the problems were at my end because I figured Apple would be able to deliver an excellent streaming event. I was wrong.
Memo to Apple: PLEASE bring back camera roll.
It is in iOS 8.1 – relax.
Is it really?
yes.
I hope the IT guy at Apple streams Klingon properly! 😛
Here’s to execution … for the people that screw up the streaming this time!
Apple has had many successful event streams, and they mess up one, and suddenly they are “attempting to stream”? This headline is nothing but click-bait.
I love how things get worded on the internet. “Apple plans to “.
Rumors get posted as factual statements.
Facts get posted like rumours.
Did Apple screw up the WWDC stream? I ask because MDN make it sound as if screw-ups are a regular occurrence instead of a one-off.
good i need to brush up on my mandarin. ni hao shie shie
and/or Chinese audio translation underlaid throughout?
With Japanese translation thrown on top for good measure! That wasn’t just Chinese.
Incredibly incompetent media streaming jobs like this are, thankfully, still a rarity. It would be difficult for Apple to find a worst group of people to handle the stream of their next presentation.
I’d still like to know exactly WHO cocked it up. That nightmare of a stream should be on a pedestal in a Hall of Shame to warn future generations.
Oh GOD here we go again. Another fiasco awaits
I for one am glad I was part of the last keynote experience.
When we each discovered the issue wasn’t on our end and everyone was having the same experience, there was a sense of community amongst us. It was both fun and funny.
I heard the reason the iPhone 6 net cast failed was simply because so many people tried to watch the stream at the same time. Something crashed and we got the backup stream with Chinese translation which got overloaded.
Hopefully the upcoming event is as successful.
The depressing part of the last event was that the streaming was excellent during the build up as we watched the crowds enter the auditorium.
I was thinking , wow the quality of the live stream to millions was fantastic; and then just as Cook entered the stage the whole stream went to rat*hit.
Here’s hoping the bloke ordering his takeaway isn’t anywhere near the mike this time.
