For those of you interested, Engadget's Apple Event liveblog will go live at 10am Pacific.

Today, we're in attendance at the Flint Center in Cupertino to hear about the latest products and updates from Apple, and we're expecting at least four new devices (two iPhones and two wearables). Join us at this space beginning at 1pm ET on September 9th, because we'll be liveblogging the event and bringing you the latest updates as it happens. Should be a long and intense event, so make sure you bookmark this page and come back for it all!

I am going to watch the MaximumPC coverage with Apple hater extraordinaire Gordon Ma Ung who has this sage piece of advice..

Three Macs have died in a row doesn't mean a design problem. It means I'm using it wrong. I have learned that from being a Mac user for a long time. There's no way Apple can do anything wrong. I mean.. come on.. are you a PC fanboy?? Nothing that Apple has ever done in it's entire existence is wrong.. ever!! So that is why I buy Macs.. every month!!

This thread is going to be a lot more entertaining than the live stream.
 
Shit, MaximumPC seems hilarious. Are they always like this? Look at this dude with an Apple sticker on his Surface.
 
Da fuq? You need Safari to be able to watch the livestream on Apple's website.

Piss off!
 
It's timing out on my iPad. Nice work streaming Apple
 
maxpc stream with annoying ads instead of actual stream....done with that. Anyone have a stream that works?
 
Heh, got it working, chinese audio overlayed. Wtf?
 
How? I'm on the direct feed from apple.com/live. My video keeps skipping back and forth.

lol as I was typing this the Chinese feed came up...
 
In a stunning announcement Apple announces their merging with Blizzard and launching a new IP.
iWOW. gag!@!!!
 
Why the hell is this dude wearing a women's scarf.
 
Grr. The streaming is still jumping around.. regardless of speed on my end. Tried it on a dedicated DSL line, 30/30 EDI and LTE. ><
 
No sapphire screen. That was the only thing that had me on the fence upgrading before the release to a LG G3.
 
Next-gen Retina display: sRGB-accurate, with ultrathin backlight, photo-aligned IPS liquid crystal, improved polarizer, ion-strengthened glass.
 
You can get up to 128GB for this thing. Ars Technica is saying 16GB for entry model, $299 model is now 64GB, and $399 model is now 128GB
 
The screens are iPhone6=4.7" and iPhone Plus=5.5 inches. Z=6.9mm for the 6, Z=7.1mm for the Plus.

With a two-year contract. The 6 Plus is $100 more across the storage sizes. Yikes. But they'll sell like hotcakes.
 
New generation A8 chip, 2 billion transistors and 64-bit support. It's a 20nm process, 13% smaller chip than the A7, 25% percent faster CPU performance.
 
New A8 chip is up to 50 percent more energy efficient than the last-gen chip. 14 hours of 3G talk time for the 6, and 24 for the Plus. 10 days standby for the 6, 16 for the Plus. 11 hours of video for the 6, 14 for the Plus.
 
New advanced wireless specs -- 150 Mbps LTE support. Uses carrier aggregation, and comes with 20 LTE bands. Apple is working with 200 LTE carriers around the world. VoLTE support is included as well. WiFi calling will be available on the 6 and 6 Plus.
 
Cameras are 8MP iSight camera, with True Tone flash; large, 1.5-micron pixels; and f/2.2 aperture. There's also a new sensor in it to take better photos.

Focus Pixels: As the lens moves in and out, it can tell if an object is in or out of phase. Phase Detection Autofocus is featured here. With Focus Pixels, you can do continuous autofocus.

Next-gen local tone mapping and advanced noise reduction are included.

Both phones have almost identical camera features, but OIS -- optical image stabilization -- is going to be on the 6 Plus. It comes with 1080p video at 30fps or 60fps, as well as slo-mo video up to 240fps.

There's a new FaceTime HD front-facing camera, with a new sensor that brings in 81 percent more light and improved face detection, as well as burst selfie mode.
 
iPhone 6 comes in gold, silver and space gray. Starts at $199 on contract, going up to $399 for the largest model. Starts with 16GB and then jumps to 64GB and 128GB

The 6 Plus starts at $299 and has the same memory configuration.

The iPhone 5c is free, the 5s is $99.

I guess it means that the actual price sans contract might be +$400 on top.

I am actually a bit pissed off at Apple's trash talk about the credit cards. They make themselves look as if they are the masters of NFC...

All after the fappening they want us to trust them with our money AND our amature pron?
 
Apple Pay introduced, use NFC (Near-Field Communications), Touch ID and a Secure Element chip that stores your encrypted info securely. You use Apple Pay by holding your thumb on the Touch ID button.

When you add a new card, they don't store the card or give it to the merchant. They use a one-time payment number along with a dynamic security code, so there's no longer a static code on the back of the card. Support to suspend payments from that device if it's lost or stolen, so there's no need to cancel your credit card.
