ok, so Apple have an entire event devoted to the iPhone. How on earth are they going to fill the time? Here's the new iPhone* It's a bit thinner and lighter than before. the battery runs a bit longer. it has a bit better camera and it runs iOS 6 which you've all seen before. er, thanks for comming... * there's absolutely no way this will be called iPhone 5. It'll be iPhone 6, the New iPhone or just plain old iPhone - my money's on the later

"How on earth are they going to fill the time?" What time are they trying to fill? The event ends when they're done showing what they want to show. If that's 90 minutes, that's "the time". If it's 30 minutes, that's "the time". What did they introduce besides iphone/ios 5 at the 4S release event? [strike]Oh right[/strike] nothing else.

  Why the unwarranted douchey ending in your reply?

How did they fill the time last time? It's not like they've never had an iPhone-only event before.

  this is true, but they have felt increasingly thiner on content over time. I understand John's reasoning behind having an iPhone only event, but my concern is that there's simply too little material - we have the 6th generation of a device where the highlight feature is likely to be a new (usb3 and/or thunderbolt) connector. Everything else will be slightly more of what we've all seen before Edit: After a bit more thought (not too much, getting kids out the door for school atm) here's what I see: From the sounds of things, there's 3 (possibly 4) new product launches expected before the end of the year - iPhone, iPods (+iTunes?), iPad jr and possibly new ATV content. It also looke like there's only 2 events expected - one on the 12th Sept and the other early Oct. If the iPad jr rumour has any basis, then I'd think that's be the device that gets the stage to itself. So, here's my revised guess: Sept - iPhone + iPod Touch + iPod Nano + (hopefully) iTunes. Oct - 7" iPad + new atv content
