I refrained from placing iPhone 5 in the topic granted Apple has said nothing of the sort despite their hints.
What do you think we're expecting today?
From my part, I will be watching closely granted I'm still using iPhone 3GS and I'm overdue for an upgrade.
P.S.: Please use this topic for anything related to whatever comes out of that conference.
P.P.S.: Any post derailing the topic into an X phone vs Y phone will be immediately deleted. You've been warned.

I expect an iPhone 5 announcement and release date plus a iPad mini demonstration (perhaps a release date as well)
Hopefully we'll see some new tech as well. I wonder where apple could go from now with their iPod and iTouch line.
That's about it.
I'm too lazy to figure it out, but what time will it be in Lebanon during the unveil / conference. Also will there be some free live stream somewhere ?

iPhone 5, that's pretty much it. Just an announcement though, release date will be somewhere near November.
The new iPad was just released, i don't think they will announce a new one.
I don't think there will be a 5th generation iPod either, at least for now!

i think its pointless to watch the event since the next gen iphone was leaked all over internet. it would have been more exciting if nothing was leaked.
Ngel
where can we watch for whatever they are going to announce ?

Can you summarize the 'leaks' so that we compare to the real thing?

I don't think those leaks are leaks as they are predictions, a 5 year-old apple fanboy can predict a new processor and more rams.
Personally, i am waiting for something 'worth it' in the iphone 5, else i'm gonna stick with my 3GS.
I don't think they will be announcing a newew ipad, it has not been 6 months since the announcement of the third gen ipad in march.
Maybe a newer ipod touch will be announced, since the current model is like 2 and half year old.
And of course the new ios 6.
And maybe new generation macintoshes.

4 inch screen. 1136*640 resloution
HD front facing cam, improved rear cam.
Nano sim
Apple A6 SOC, which supports global LTE (could be quad core) 1GB ram
new dock connector
support for NFC

I think they're going to announce the iPod with a bigger screen and the 4S 8GB model. But tere are lots of claims on TV saying they're going to announce the iPhone 5 and that it will have A6 processor, a bigger screen, a nano SIM slot, and that it's going to be lighter. I also saw this picture of the phone from CNet from someone who claims it's a prototype. From what I say was a bigger screen and a stainless steel back cover.

Here's a slight twist on the question.
Apple fans, what are you afraid of hearing in a few hours?
m0ei
Same as the info leaked.
NuclearVision

+1. Who's willing to spend 300$ difference, for a bigger screen, LTE (Which is available in countable coutries), and a faster processor. I mean 4th gen iphones are already fast.
We want to see something new!
Something weird, something that will make a revolution in Tech world.
Ain't i right?

highphone 5 is revealed
NuclearVision
Nothing new, they're happy with the new maps app, like a child who just bought ice cream.
Even the camera is still 8MP. I think i'll buy android this time, really disappointed :(

I'm an semi-apple-fanboy. I like the iPhone 4S but think the iPhone 5 is just useless. I'm afraid that Apple isn't really thinking about adding real new functionality; it is obvious the iPhone 5 is just a money making attempt. First, the extra height on the new iphone is just useless. It doesn't really add more useful screen space as what matters is the width. I mostly use the phone in portrait mode so the keyboard shows up condensed and hard to use. Even if I switch to landscape mode, the keyboard expands and eats up my screen view; again cause the width is just to tight. Wished if they could increase both height and width.
Regarding the processor, why the heck do we need a quad core processor for? As usual the phone will have battery drainage issues due to the extra unnecessary performance. Not sure if the new processor A6 has the same power consumption as the A5; still the extra performance will not be used.
Regarding the size, I wish they could pump up the storage capacity to 128GB. I like taking photos and video in HD and like to keep them on the phone. I currently have the 32GB iPhone 4S and it annoys me that I cannot store all what I need. 64 Gb won't cut it either. Once you add some large sized games and media, you'll eat up the phone storage real fast.
LTE support, well hurray for other countries, a useless feature in our country :\
USB 3.0 support, quite impressive, syncing times should be faster now.
Nano sim, haven't seen one in real life, not sure if it will be available here
720p front cam, major upgrade from the VGA
Backcam, same res, no major improvements, only some tweaks
iOS6, not specialized for the iphone 5, it will be available for the other iphones as well (so this cannot be considered as a reason to buy the new iphone)
New dock connector, the smaller size might seem good, but phone accessory makers will have shit luck trying to sell the old gadgets (yikes!)
cheers!

@mrclass you're 100% right. It is just not worth it, my next phone will be sIII or galaxy nexus.

This is about Apple, but isn't a prediction or something. But i'm willing to say it. Any apple brand (Exceptions: MAC) are worth 200$. If you think deeply on how an iPhone is made, hardware/software wise, you'll know what i mean. I forgot the link to the article, can't manage to find it.
Brief, it's a useless phone in all means, it's an expanded form of an iPod, period.
MrClass got a part of it right.
