Today at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern, Apple will introduce the 2012
version of the iPhone at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. Because of the “5” in the shadow of the picture on the invitation, I presume that this new model will be called the iPhone 5, but we’ll find out in a few hours.
The theater will be full of members of the press, and many of the people who are attending plan to
live-blog the event as it happens. Here are direct links to the live
coverage at some of the sites that I expect to provide the best live
coverage:
- Macworld. Jason Snell and Dan Moren are perhaps the best live-bloggers in the world for Apple announcements.
- GDGT. Ryan Block has a great track record of providing excellent live coverage of events.
- The Verge.
Joshua Topolsky will handle the live blog for The Verge, a relatively new website that has quickly became one of the very best sources of tech news. - Engadget. I believe that Tim Stevens is covering the event.
- Ars Technica. Jacqui Cheng will be posting live updates.
Apple usually posts a video of the event later on in the day, so you should be able to watch it on Wednesday night. I look forward to finding out what Apple has to announce, and I’m sure I’ll be posting my thoughts on Thursday.
Since I am in line for an upgrade of my 4 I will get the new model, BUT it will feature nothing new. Better cameras, LTE, this already exists in smartphones. The smartphone has matured and we should not expect anything revolutionary, because there is nothing revolutionary left to do. I see little to get excited about.
Well, I’m looking forward to the new iPhone, but I think I’m going to hang on to the iPhone 4S for at least six months.
