Epic and Chair will probably be revealing their game SPYJINX, which they collaborated with JJ Abrams on. It's made in Unreal Engine 4, so it'll probably be used as a visual tech showcase like Infinity Blade was

Love that thread title.

Probably sitting this one out since my 6s+ has an audio jack.

Really hoping they bring it back for the 7s.

Subbed.

I'm more interested in seeing if they do actually come out with a second gen Apple Watch, but the iPhone is obviously the main event.

I wonder how many OTs we can get out of this "Apple Invents X" thing

Anyway, I'm in for a phone, a watch, several pairs of wireless headphones (day-to-day, sport, and high quality), any associated docks, probably new bands, and on the off-chance: new MacBook Pro, new 12.9" iPad, new iPad Mini, new AppleTV, new airport time capsule

For the Apple plan, yearly upgrade. Can you pre order at all? Do I have to go into the store itself or can i do the Apple store upgrade plan online? This would be the first time I start it.

Preorder online and select iPhone Upgrade Program as your upgrade path, select the store you're going to drop into to pick it up/apply. Assuming they don't let you do online applications this year

New rumor is that the wireless earpods are sold separately.

Future ain't free!

Apple's high-end wireless earbuds may not ship with iPhone 7 https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/06/apples-high-end-wireless-earbuds-may-not-ship-with-iphone-7/

This may be cynical of me, but I could see them spreading this rumor so that it seems like more of a bargain when the headphones *are* included. The early rumors about the iPad had it at $1,000+, so that they could say "see what a bargain it is!" when they revealed the actual price.

I would expect lightening headphones included, and be very pleasantly surprised if we got the wireless ones.

My family plan contract is up in a few days, we're still on the original iphone unlimited plan from ATT. Are they still letting people continue that? Even trying to figure out if we're overpaying for what we get is tough. I can barely understand all the other options from ATT and the other carriers.

I think it's almost time for my upgrade to be up. Going to stick with iOS, just works better for me.

I'm more interested in the headphones. Maybe the wireless ones have gotten slimmer but, yeah, if the price is right for these AirPods, I might consider them.
