In its invitation for the event, Apple wrote “Hey Siri, give us a hint.”
Apple programmed several responses to “Siri give me a hint”:
— “Look deep within yourself and you will find the answer. Especially on September 9.”
— “You’re cute when you’re desperate for information.”
— “The only hint I can give you right now is a hint of lime. And that there’s a big announcement on September 9.
— “I can neither confirm nor deny that I am not authorized either to confirm or deny that I cannot disclose anything that you would then have to confirm. In any case, I would deny it. Got it?”
One thing about this year’s event that’s different from prior years is the location of the unveiling.
In the past, Apple has held its media events at its corporate headquarters in Cupertino or at Moscone West in San Francisco. This year the event will be held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
The slight 0.2mm increase in thickness could be the result of Apple adding pressure-sensing Force Touch technology to the next iPhone, enabling the smartphone’s display to distinguish between a light tap and firmer press and complete different actions accordingly. The “iPhone 6s” is also rumored to adopt 7000 Series aluminum, which could possibly contribute to marginally different dimensions.
