-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:04:01 PMWe're less than an hour away from showtime, but our pre-show is on the air

-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:05:32 PMNew iPhones, a new Apple TV box, and possibly a big-screen iPad as well
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:06:20 PMApple's Eddy Cue is already hinting at the Apple TV in his latest tweet:

-
Ivan 9/9/2015 4:06:54 PMHey guys! After Eddy Cue's tweet today, do you think Apple will have a dedicated movie streaming service similar to Apple Music? Maybe something like Apple Movies on Apple TV?
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:07:19 PMWell, they already have iTunes, which has nearly every TV show and movie on-demand. However:
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:07:46 PMthe rumored streaming video service, similar to Sling TV, is supposedly delayed until 2016
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:08:15 PMThe rumored updates for the Apple TV hardware are: Siri voice support, universal search, and a real app store, similar to the iPhone/iPad
-
TheAdventurer 9/9/2015 4:08:20 PMI thought the event started now . . . 12 p.m. ET?
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:08:39 PMThis is our pre-show coverage. The actual even startsat 1pm ET / 10am PT
-
ankitjuthani 9/9/2015 4:08:42 PMI'm looking forward to the new iPhone 6S
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:09:12 PMWe expect the new phones to be nearly identical on the outside, but with better internals: faster A9 chip, better camera, double the RAM
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:09:29 PMand, there are persistent rumors of a Force Touch screen
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:09:51 PMAlready in place on the Watch, Force Touch offers different inputs depending how hard you press the screen
-
uncle yardo 9/9/2015 4:10:03 PMLooking for a 4" iphone 6c or looking to see how much of a discount I can get on the current iphone 6. Not really that interested in a flagship current gen device.
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:10:42 PMYou may be disappointed. The rumors are that there will be no 6C for now, but the 5S, 6 and 6 Plus will get the requisite $100 price drop
-
UGA4EVA 9/9/2015 4:10:53 PMDID apple finally get a 4k screen on the 6s? This technology is 2 years old with the samsung phones
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:11:46 PMWe'll probably get the same basic screen resolution as last year. And while Samsung phones have awesome screens, they are not 4K -- the recently announced Sony Xperia phone will be the first handset with a 4K screen
-

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Preview - CNET
CNETIt's waterproof, it has a fingerprint scanner and the screen will melt your eyeballs. But is 4K on a phone a waste of time? -
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:12:38 PMAnd, honestly, we think 4K screens on phones are overkill:
Phones with ultra high-res 4K screens are serious overkill. Seriously - CNET
CNETCommentary: If super high-resolution screens are arguably unnecessary for your 65-inch TV, they're just about useless for your 5.5-inch phone. -
Bruno 9/9/2015 4:12:44 PMAny way apple increases iphone's battery life? i think we may have new regarding battery life due to ios9 battery saving mode
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:14:04 PMBruno is talking about the new battery saving mode coming with iOS 9. It'll be a welcome addition, to be sure. It'll be interesting to see exactly the sort of battery life claims that Apple makes, too.
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:14:51 PMAnd to mention from earlier -- the Sony phone will be the first with a 4K screen, we *do* expect Apple to add 4K video capture on these new iPhones, which Samsung and others already offer.

j0hnm4riani 9/9/2015 4:15:30 PMdo you think john grubber is right? too many products for one day? what will we see, what will we not see
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:16:12 PMNoted Apple pundit John Gruber originally speculated that the Apple Watch would be highlighted over a new iPad, w/ the latter being held for an October event. Subsequently, however,
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:16:34 PM... he changed his tune, saying his sources say this will be the only Apple event this fall.
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:17:33 PMThat said, expect Tim Cook & Co. to mention something about the Watch -- the new WatchOS 2 update is slated to come later this year, and it fixes some notable issues, most important of which is adding native apps to the Watch
-
mitchiscool 9/9/2015 4:17:52 PMany chance of a new Apple watch? I want one
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:18:26 PMAnything's possible, but I doubt we'll see new Watch hardware. Again, expect them to focus on what's new with the software. And it sounds like we'll get some new watchbands, too.
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:19:02 PMAs for iOS 9, if Apple follows its normal schedule, we'll likely see that update hit late next week -- probably Thursday.
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:19:28 PM... with the new iPhones available for sale on Friday the 18th in many countries. (Again, IF they follow tradition.)
-
mitchiscool 9/9/2015 4:19:36 PMwhat are investors looking for with this new announcement? will there be any new information on sales/china's impact?
-
swordsmanr 9/9/2015 4:19:42 PMIf there is a stylus coming to the iPad Pro, any chance of it being backwards compatible to the iPad Air 2?
-
John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:20:32 PMGood question. The rumored iPad Pro (big-screen iPad) is also supposed to have Force Touch. So if the stylus is only compatible with that, it may not work -- or not work as well -- on the Air 2.

John Falcone 9/9/2015 4:21:04 PMThere are rumors that Apple is working on VR projects, and I would definitely expect that in the future. But highly unlikely for today.
