News From Apple's iPhone Event

Posted by Unknown on from the lots-and-lots-of-flavorful-apples dept.

Apple is currently announcing various things about a new iPhone; the CNN Live has coverage as it is happening. Watch for updates as more information comes in. For those of you who like to read instead of watch, PC Magazine is^W was^W is running a live commentary stream (it broke and then unbroke). The New York Times also has a working live stream which seems more reliable. Update: 10/04 19:04 GMT by U L :Unexpectedly, Apple did not announce an iPhone 5, but rather an incremental update. CNet has a decent article about the features of the iPhone 4S. Additionally, all major carriers except T-Mobile will be getting the phone October 14th.

    Apple announces something that everyone has already used before, and already exists.
    Audience members applaud, and for some reason people laud it as revolutionary, innovative, and new.

    Cue Apple-Head orgasms following the foreplay that is this long drawn out and annoying event.

    Well done Apple, you got the whole world's media to have a freekout over an old phone with a new processor (which isn't even really new even). Next step, sell a toaster, label it "revolutionary", sell it rather overpriced and see how many sales you get.
