“ABC News has posted a new video teasing an exclusive look at Apple’s ‘historic’ announcement tomorrow,” Mike Beasley reports for 9to5Mac.
“The special will air on ABC at 6:30 PM and will be hosted by David Muir,” Beasley reports, “who the network says is the only network television anchor with an invitation to the press event.”
Beasley reports, “It’s quite possible that Muir will sit down with an executive such as CEO Tim Cook to discuss the event and the impact it will have on Apple’s future.”

All this for a wearable and bigger iPhone??? NFC payments? Maybe …. Apple must have something really big coming out tomorrow that we aren’t even keying on!
A netbook!
/s
Why the /s thingey? Aren’t we smart enough to work this out for ourselves?
Youd be surprised the things that people take seriously on MSN. Without that /s, I could’ve come back to a three paragraph essay explaining to me why net books are awful.
you mean MDN?
Yessir
Obviously, since no one takes anything seriously on MSN.
…and let us know if Best Buy starts selling ’em!
Only if you promise to buy geek Squad 🙂
Let me know when Best Buy goes back to the basics, and sells Sega Genesises. (Or is it Sega Genesii?) Oh, and let’s not forget the Sega Dreamcast, and not that M$ ripoff XBAWX NONE!
i hope it doesn’t have something to do with homosexuals
What makes you say that? I hope I don’t sound like a liberal Social Justice White Knight, but I support civil rights for all groups, especially homosexuals and autistics, as well as homosexual autistics. You aren’t an anti, are you?
oh, shut up.
You are the one that should be shutting up, Buttvinick.
Shut up, guy with the whitest name ever
So just because my name sounds white doesn’t mean I can support minorities? Besides…I AM a minority! People on the Autism Spectrum are considered their own cultural group. So I think YOU are the one who should shut up, ya Neurotypical!
Autism is a minority? Are you messing with me. WE are the REAL minorities! Barely 10 percent of Natives live on the continent anymore! Not to mention that Hawaii is not a Kingdom anymore, and all the white invaders took what was ours! Get out! No, really, get out! Judging by your name, you are either English, or German. Take your pick.
You tell ’em, you proud and angry retard.
I agree. This guy should go back to Europe with the rest of you. I respect your opinion, but your ancestors stole MY ancestors land. So, what country in Europe do you want to live in? I hear France is beautiful this time of year.
you need to go get lei’ed.
meaning i hope Cook doesn’t use these keynotes to promote any agenda regarding them.
What I would expect/like to see tonight;
1) New 4K Apple Cinema Displays up to 50″
2) Apple TV with desktop class processors and graphics & AppStore
3) iWatch
4) iPhone 6
5) iPad
6) New Mac lineup
7) Presentation of how they will all work seamlessly together through iCloud.
What day and what zone at 6:30?
A journalist should know his Ws. What , when, where?
It will be on ABC World News Tonight, whenever that’s on in your market.
ABC must have hooked up with Apple somehow to get the exclusive, especially a new anchor.
aren’t they and espy owned by disney? that would be the connection i would think.
ABC is owned by Disney. Disney’s CEO is on the Apple BOD. Mrs. Jobs is the largest single stock holder in Disney. Disney has the content, and Apple has the delivery hardware. Only the cable/satellite companies stand in their way when it comes to taking over the entertainment industry. It’s a good match.
Tim Cook, getting out in front of the third party hype machine with some chops of his own. Changing the face of Apple PR with a shocking advance exclusive. Blessing one network, ABC, and making the others green. Not waiting for backlash but salting the tail. Freeing himself from Jobs’s shadow.
ABC is part of Disney, so it’s no big surprise is it?
Now don’t be dissing Disney now! They were an important part of our Millennial Childhoods! The 90s were truly a “Rennaisance” for Disney!
Not dissing Disney, just saying Apple has deep connections with Disney/Pixar/ABC. 🙂
He meant to imply that ABC is one of the stronger relationships that Apple has with the big content providers given the sale of Steve Jobs’ Pixar to them, so it makes sense that they’d give them an exlusive
Sorry, but Disney deserves all the “dissing” they get you clueless Millenial idiot. Disney not only was a major Anti-Semite, but his movie “Pocahontas” just straight up sugar-coat the events surrounding the destruction of America in the 1600s. However, I did like how they portraied white Hawaiians as villains in “LILO and Sticth”. Explains those island theifs to a tee.
I hope you forgot the /s, if not you need a proctoscopy to see if you have any brains.
Im not sarcastic. I’m serious. I honestly think you stole our land, and that you should go to where your ancestors are from.
Where is “our land” and who did you steal t from? We are all a Johnny Come Lately’s, some from Europe, some from Asia from the Americas. My ancestry is pre-colonial.
Hawaiian. Family has been here since the Kingdom days. Then the Americans came, and FORCED statehood upon us. It must have felt equally painful for the Natives on the mainland. I share sympathy for you, and your lands. 🙁
You shouldn’t have let the missionaries in, look at the position you’re in.
I stood near the summit of Kīlauea on January 3, 1983. A few hours later the mountain erupted.
“Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono”
Interesting that you use the handle –
“Heir to the Throne”, and just below this post (no ability to reply given, hence me post’n here) you evoke “Kingdom days”
This, insinuates to me, that you follow the history/myth of navigator-priest Paʻao.
Given this your DNA heritage is Tahitian (Polynesian)
Thus you must subscribe that the Tahitians invaded Hawaii, conquering, killing and displacing the earlier people from the Marquesas Islands (Polynesians).
So … Your just the same everyone else, your people strove to do the best for themselves. It’s interesting that you adjudge “Europeans” to have existed from year dot; their ancient history not entwined with external invasions.

Given that Hawaii’s ancient history is still to be determined, what we do know that the Hawaii Islands were colonised by humans only very recently, at the very very most only 2,000 years ago.
Whereas Australian Aborigines and the Aboriginal peoples have occupied the same territory continuously longer than any other human populations.
Modern Aboriginal peoples are the direct descendants of migrants who arrived in Australia 50,000 years ago.
This is supported by earlier archaeological finds of human remains near Lake Mungo that date to 45,000 years ago.
A genetic study of 2011 found evidence that Aboriginal peoples carry some of the genes associated with the Denisovan peoples of Asia.
The study suggests that there is an increase in allele sharing between the Denisovans and the Aboriginal Australians genome compared to other Eurasians and Africans.
This makes Aboriginal Australians one of the oldest living populations in the world and possibly the oldest outside of Africa.

… we’re all African at heart.
No doubt this post will be lost due within all the “noise” created by the exciting news from Apple, in a few hours time.
Can’t wait.
The ‘surprise’ is that Apple continues to stray from the Jobs playbook after adhering to it for more than two years. And that playbook had been treated like holy writ by naysayers and sceptics as readily as by the faithful.
Change is good.
Tim Cook is a deliberate man. He doesn’t make rash moves. Strategizing, taking steps as he sees the timing come. I’m enjoying this ride.
Also, Apple is scrutinised like nobody else. The slightest deviation from pattern spawns a froth of reports, which engender yet more again – this one, however, is flavoured differently, being just a smidgen ahead of the event itself.
I see you shiver with antici-
-pation
Yes, change is good. So glad Steve told Tim to follow his own intuition and make up his own play book. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s event!
Give change a chance!
Don’t say that to 2016-2020, he’s already lost it big time.
That would be 2014-2016.
And the only ones that lost it years ago were voting for change.
Too bad they did not realize CHANGE comes in flavors: positive and negative. I’ll leave it up to critical thinking readers to decide the outcome.
Agree most heartily, and I think Tim Cook has been patiently waiting for this moment to arrive. Not sure Tim could have made a major change so quickly, it would have spooked all of the shareholders / customers. If you think about this, it really is all very well timed, exactly like the operational master TC is.
Historic is a very, very, very strong word. There are only about 100 products or events surrounding products which are deemed historic. The iPhone was historic, the invention of the wheel was historic, the printing press, lightbulb, transistor, air conditioner, combustion engine, plane, rocket, car, personal computer, etc. all historic. Either ABC is using the word too loosely or we are in for a huge surprise.
Historic? Doesn’t that mean anything that happened before 1980?
History means anything White or European. There are many that still believe that American history began at 1492…even though there were ENTIRE NATIONS that were here for 10.000 years! WAKE UP!
I did mention the wheel and rocket which are both “non-western” product inventions and pre 1492. It was unecessary to list every historical product, hence the etc.
I think you’re lost. You should be in the living in the past and making excuses for being a lifeless loser forum. This is a forum for discussions about Mac products.
American history DID begin in 1492. Unless you think they didn’t call it something else before some mapmaker wrote his name too large.
Don’t forget the Norsemen and the Irish were here in the 19th century.
9th century.
Then too.
Ah, tomorrow—those were the days!
i think something historic would have to do with a change to television
The 10 year wait is over: G5 Powerbooks are finally here!
Here are three things that don’t belong in the same sentence-
1) ABC
2) News
3) Dave Muir
If his show were a radio station, it would be ‘easy listening’.
Yes, it is the ‘soft rock and mellow sounds of the 80s’ up against Bret Baier’s “All Led Zep, Al the F*ckin Time” or Scott Pelley’s “Hair Bands at Eight”.
Then, of course, there is always PBS with “Hours of ABBA” or NBC’s “Vanilla Ice Rap Wannabe, Beech!” versions, too…..
So, ABBA is bad, how, exactly—?
ABBA is not at all bad. Much better than most music being produced these days in fact.
Whoever said ABBA was bad?
(everybody wants to be a Dancing Queen!!!)
I’m using a correlation between hard news/hard rock.
And BTW, they all beat MSNBC’s Gleichschaltung static over there on the AM….
I think people overestimate the seriousness of network television news. Apple releasing a new phone by itself would be enough for a network to want to glom on to the hype and fanfare. That said, one could use Healthkit alone as an angle for a story on the increased relevance of computers in our lifestyle.
Trying to find some string for my finger-so I don’tI forget to watch the Apple event!
Let’s face it, network news does an incredible job of framing stories for an older demographic. Any topic they cover is given an almost biblical spin and done as well as any tv drama or movie.
Perhaps it is the health angle for the older crowd.
I just set my TiVo to record ABC News tonight. That’s my string for my finger …
Steve Jobs shall arise from the dead today to reclaim his throne for his most astounding trick ever.
