Scavenger Hunt:: Apple announcement day.

sohmageek thought this was worth mentioning said Wed, Sep 9th 2015 at 8:38am ET

So... given that most of the things for the apple announcement are out there (unconfirmed but I don't think there will be a lot that will surprise us) What is the one thing you are most looking for/One thing you think will be a big surprise for people?
50 points (one per person) per guess/looking forward to. Closes when the announcement is live.

- @hollboll It looks like there is a site that has bingo cards of this... http://applekeynotebingo.appspot.com Although, it looks like some of the spots were made by android fanboys...

- @Lotsofgoats Already got one! ;) I just tried taking a picture of the watch with the camera app up.. seeing how far into the watch I could see... Lighting is horrible though.. If I could figure out how to fix that. Maybe @pavlov if you came back you could help me with it! :) But I can see 5 deep I think...

I'd like to see them release an iPhone 7 but I'm guessing it will stick with the trend of 6s.

Granted, the only thing I may consider buying is a new iPad (Pro?). My iPad 2 is getting a little slow with all the god damn updates

- @Bogie I'd love to update the mini ver 1, but I like it still and it's not causing issues... so I'll probably stick with it. :)

I escaped the apple cult years ago. I'm not going back. What would be surprising, though, is apple releasing something that doesn't mostly mimic devices that have been out for a couple of years. Not that I expect those surprises.

I'm mostly looking forward to my iphone 5 being even more outdated but the "use thicker aluminum so our phones don't bend" feature is probably pretty nice.

I got all excited when I saw force touch. I thought it would make it so much easier for those times that my phone is across the room and I don't want to get up to retrieve it ;)

I'm looking forward to the new camera the most I think. I've got an iPhone 5 now, and my wife has a 4s.. We've been waiting to upgrade when these new ones come out, so I'm more excited than usual for an apple announcement. Basically every feature will be an upgrade over our current phones, so it'll be all good!

I'm looking forward to the part where they announce a thing that is in no way, shape or form a surprise or innovation and all the people in the crowd clap in the most over zealous manner possible and a lady faints because she is so overwhelmed at the magic of her Apple overlords.

- @MEHcus I read this as "... and possible lady farts..." I thought, wait, clapping in an over zealous manner and possible lady farts? Well, I mean, it seems possible from all of the unwarranted excitement. Rather explicit, but by no means unlikely.

Looking forward to drastic price cuts.
"Look. We realize we can only coast off being the cool company for so long. Now that we have competitors with superior products, we're going to have to change our marketing strategy. The new iPhone will cost $199 no cell contract required. Also, many of the most popular apps will be free. The phone will feature multiple ports that will allow you to use all the cables and docks you've already purchased."

I think the new Apple TV is going to have a voice interface. Siri's going to watch TV with you. The remote might have a mic.

The rumor mill has it that the iPad Pro might come with a stylus. Lord Steve was dead set against stylii but now he's just dead and can't fight it. I wish they'd just combine an ipad with a macbook. If they make a Surface-like tablet I'll break my own rule (never buy first-gen Apple anything) and preorder it sight-unseen.

- @sohmageek second gen. 720p. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV#Second_and_third_generation) It's nice, but youtube stopped working on it and I'm sure other stuff will soon. I think it's still hackable but I never bothered.

There are no Apple devices in this house, and we're limited to CNBC or CNET (which just crashed). Darn. If the $199. price @medz mentioned ever happened, MAYBE I'd buy an iPhone. Otherwise, off to do housework. Will check in later.
