  • iPhone 5 just doesn't make since. 6th phone and every iPhone has reasoning behind it's name. 3G because of connection. 4 because it was the 4th. And 4S because it was the 4 with Siri. But the 6th phone called 5. Better have 5 cool features.

  • Any chance of a updated imac
    by Frank
  • Updated iMac was rumored. I wouldn't be surprised to see a stealth update after the event on Apple's Web site. We'll have to see.

  • I have a gentlemen's bet with Katzmaier about the iPad Mini. I don't think we'll see it today.

  • Hi! What do you think about iPhone 5's wireless charging? We know it has a new smaller plug for charger, so will there be wireless chargig at all? Awesome live blog, btw :)

  • @Kevin How does the iPhone five not make sense? if they went to iphone6 everyone would be clamoring for months asking what happened to 5.
    by Norman Hopkins
  • I'm one of the weird ones on this, I guess. I'm most anxious to hear about iOS 6 for the iPad I bought just a few months ago.

  • Will we even get the iPhone in the US? Reports of Samsung suing to block them from being imported.
    by Chris C
  • Is there a strong possibility of pre-ordering today off the apple store site? If so, what account credentials are needed?
    by Nate
  • I haven't seen anything regarding the new iPhone and wireless charging. To me, the Qi-based solution in the Nokia 920 seems a little clunky for an Apple design.
    by Rich Brown
  • I hope Samsung doesn't sue Apple over 4G LTE use in the iPhone 5. Yes, Samsung does hold the patent, and normally I'm pro-Samsung. But suing is not the right way to get what you want.

  • @David Hamilton will it be posted on here or somewhere else?
    by madtyper
  • @madtyper So far as I know, the Apple event is not being streamed anywhere. So stay right here, and we'll tell you what we know as soon as we know it.
    by David Hamilton
  • wow, great to see everyone from buzz out loud back again! too bad it really was only apple events

  • We're having some tech difficulties with our in-house video stream. Hope to have it squared away soon.

  • why an ipad mini? whats the point
    by stikky22
  • Apple has dominant market share in tablets, but Amazon coming on strong with their lower priced Kindles. A smaller, lower cost iPad would help Apple beat Amazon back.
    by Rich Brown
  • @Chris C So far, rumors of Samsung suing are just that. We'll believe it when they file in court. And even then, the odds of Samsung obtaining a preliminary injunction against the iPhone 5 seem, well, low. Though stranger things have happened in these patent battles already.

  • chances of the mac mini getting a silent update after this?
    by bmferreira13
  • @Rich Same with Google's Nexus 7, btw.
    by David Hamilton
  • by James Martin
  • I think anything's possible in terms of low key Mac updates after this event. CPU update is long overdue on desktop side.
