Apple has just invited members of the press to attend a San Francisco-based product launch event on September 12th, where the next generation iPhone is expected to be officially unveiled. As rumored, it seems as if the company's prior iPod-focused fall events may be split off into two. It's been reported that an October event may follow this one, with a miniaturized 7-inch iPad on the docket for that. This event, however, seems a lock for the iPhone 5 -- or "new iPhone," or whatever it ends up being coined -- and while CEO Tim Cook confessed at D10 that it would be doubling down on secrecy, leakers seem to have doubled down on tipping the world off on what's to come. The keynote kicks off at 10AM PT in SF, and you can bet we'll be there covering every second of it live. Didn't have any "lunch" plans for 9/12? Looks like you do now.

What is Rumoured?
  • iPhone 5 - The New iPhone is due to be unveiled, with a new design, improved internals, and possibly NFC amongst other bits and bobs...
  • iOS 6 - We'll get a launch date, and no doubt more features on the latest iOS version for iOS devices
  • New iPad Mini? - Rumours have been going wild about a new iPad mini model - But will it be unveiled in this event?
  • iTunes 11 - Late rumours have come in regarding a new version of iTunes, which promises to be "Sleeker and Faster"...
  • New iPod Touch & Nano Models - Another late rumour is suggesting that Apple will be releasing some new Touch and Nano models for their iPod series

Where can I watch this Apple Event?
Unless you are a member of the press, sadly it's still out of bounds. It would appear that Apple isn't covering the keynote live, and others are prohibited to do so!

HOWEVER - not all is lost, mac-related websites/blogs around the world are here to give you the latest breaking news via RSS-News Feeds and other "Live Update" blogs.

I will keep an up-to-date list of the sites which will give you "Live Updates" of the event below...


As always, Apple are kind enough to upload the keynote shortly after it's finished. You are often able to stream it from Apple Events or alternatively, you can wait 24 hours after the keynote to download it in high quality straight from your iTunes!

The keynote starts at 10:00 AM (PT), also known to us brits as 18:00 PM (BST), on the 12th September 2012! Be there!

Other times are:
07:00AM - Hawaii
10:00AM - Pacific
11:00AM - Mountain
12:00PM - Central
01:00PM - Eastern
06:00PM - London
07:00PM - Paris
02:00AM - Tokyo (September 13th)

sorry about all the n00b questions but how do pre orders work from the Apple store - can you reserve one in advance or is it first come first served?
Click to expand...

Pre orders will almost definitely start about 2 hours after the media event finishes. The servers will be slammed though, so you'll probably be lucky to get your preorder in that evening.

Most times previously, I've just waiting until the next morning and preordered without any problems :)

Indeed, although the difference between nabbing one as soon as they become available and one the morning after can often be several days delay in it being delivered to your doorstep.

They've always had enough stock for immediate delivery when I've waited until the next morning - however, this is meant to be one of the biggest phone launches ever - so it may be different this time around :p
 
Added 11 new live update feeds to the OP :)

Engadget has always been my choice though :)

35 minutes to go (+15-20 minutes of financial gibberish :p)
 
Internet went down yesterday and still isn't up :( Talk about bad timing :(

Thanks to jailbreaking, I'm tethering my phone with my laptop :D Good times :p

Because the Apple store is down I can't check on the shipping progress of my Shiny new MacBook Air (got the "Apple Store Billing Document" today) :(

Can't you use the tracking number on the couriers site? I find it more accurate than Apples...

I wonder if Tim Cook has been working on his own skillset when it comes to presentations?

I have a much better feeling/vibe than when he last presented plus from the images he seems to be more at ease but more intense from expression. Hmmm.

He definitely seems to be getting better each time. Would be cool if he had his own way of doing the whole "One more thing..." :p
 
"iPad accounts for 91% of all the web traffic from tablets. I don't know what these other tables are doing."

Made me lol :p
