by Lily Santos 9/9/2014 4:56:15 PM
The crowd is taking their seats. The music is turned up inside the auditorium. Just a few more minutes until show time!

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 4:56:31 PM
Traded my apple products for android, will the iPhone6 make me regret it?

by mskitty37 9/9/2014 5:00:23 PM
C'mon #apple get me a bigger phone, so I don't have to switch!

by CoachJennLee 9/9/2014 5:01:55 PM
I still have the 4s too & could have gotten a new one at the beginning of the year. Have been waiting not so patiently.

Tim Cook is on stage welcoming the crowd. He notes the importance of where he is standing. He's on the stage where Steve Jobs first introduced the Macintosh to the world.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:05:17 PM
"We have some amazing products to share with you," Cook said.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:05:58 PM

Never been this excited about an Apple event!

"Today we are launching the biggest advancement in the history of iPhone." - Tim Cook

Just sold my 2g. Now on a Samsung S5. If I could have waited, I would have.

sitting in my child psychology class fervently paying attention to this live update :)

by FSU2016 9/9/2014 5:09:08 PM
Cook introduces the iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:09:13 PM
Am I the only one that doesnt want a bigger phone? My pockets arent that big...

by Justin 9/9/2014 5:09:18 PM
Once again, Apple refuses to allow collaboration between their company and PC products by making the video only available to Safari users. This dependency on everything Apple is why I'll never buy Apple again.

by SusanElOtmani 9/9/2014 5:10:50 PM
SVP of marketing Phil Schiller is now on stage. "From the glass fronts, the curves along the side....It is truly the most beautiful phone you have ever seen."

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:11:01 PM
I'm with you, Justin. Recently upgraded to LG G3 and phone in pocket is a thing of the past

by Lilly 9/9/2014 5:12:04 PM
Ditto on not wanting a mammoth phone. I'm a guy - I don't carry a purse. A big phone is just uncomfortable. I can barely stand a slim wallet.

by shobus01 9/9/2014 5:12:52 PM
The iPhone 6 has a 4.7 inch screen, making it .7 inches larger than its predecessor. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch screen. The phones are also thinner than any phone Apple has ever made, Schiller said.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:13:01 PM
by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:14:43 PM
Multi-taskers will love this: The iPhone 6 includes a new feature Apple is calling "reachability." Double tap the home button and the screen you're viewing will slide halfway down the page.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:16:34 PM
The iPhone keeps getting faster! There's a new chip in the iPhone 6 and 6 plus -- the Apple A8. It's a 64-bit chip.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:18:32 PM
iPhone 6 & 6 plus bigger, but still designed for one handed use. Sleep button atop iPhone moves to right hand side. Both phones thinner.

by Neal Karlinsky via twitter 9/9/2014 5:19:09 PM
The iPhone 6 plus can also be used in landscape view -- making it feel sort of like an iPad mini.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:19:13 PM
The stream is being hosted live on Apple's website. In order to view it, you'll need a version of the Safari browser 5.1.10 or later on a Mac with OS X v10.6.8. You can also view it on your iPhone with Safari on iOS 6.0 or later.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:19:56 PM
Wow so excited for 6, but not happy about 0% PC collaboration

by George Head 9/9/2014 5:20:07 PM
Anyone know size comparison from iphone 6+ and newest galaxy??????

by Otter 9/9/2014 5:20:16 PM
Okay, so the Plus is the same size screen as my LG G3. Thinner, though. The "reachability" is also a feature on the G3

by Lilly 9/9/2014 5:20:34 PM
Isnt this basically acknowledging that Samsung is correct and there is a market for large phones (5.5inches)

by MB 9/9/2014 5:22:12 PM
Stephan Sherman, the chief creative officer of Super Evil Mega Corp is now on stage to demo multi-player gaming on iOS.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:23:06 PM
Wifi within Apple event is very sketchy. Both the Apple open wifi & many of our own mifi units. Too many people/devices packed together.

by Neal Karlinsky via twitter 9/9/2014 5:23:16 PM
The new game -- Vain Glory -- launches this fall. It also includes a green flower character that has a thing for disco.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:24:04 PM
Still waiting for something to really jump out at me and make me want to buy it. Didn't Apple say this was going to be the best iPhone yet? Come on Apple, shock us with something.

by Justin 9/9/2014 5:25:47 PM
Battery issues v important to many. iPhone 6 said to have slightly better battery life.

by Neal Karlinsky via twitter 9/9/2014 5:25:55 PM
Schiller is back on stage. He says the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will meet or exceed the iPhoen 5 battery life in every metric.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:26:11 PM
You also now have a reason to take the stairs -- the iPhone 6 will have a barometer for elevation.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:26:29 PM
A messaging app lets users send voice notes, just as they'd send a text. Schiller also talks about a new health app.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:38:31 PM
The iPhone 6 comes in gold, silver and space grey. It starts at $199.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:38:50 PM
The iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:39:50 PM
When can we get them? They'll start shipping on Sept. 19!

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:40:13 PM
Schiller says they'll try to be in 115 countries by the end of this year.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:40:39 PM
iPhone 6 starts at $199 w two year contract. One hundred dollars more for bigger iPhone 6 Plus. Ships Sept 19th.

by Neal Karlinsky via twitter 9/9/2014 5:41:08 PM
People started lining up outside Apple's flagship store last week. More on that here.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:41:51 PM
"We've created an entirely new payment process and we call it Apple Pay."

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:47:11 PM
Apple SVP Eddy Cue is now on stage to talk about Apple Pay. He says it will include the "convenience and security" of Touch ID.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:48:52 PM
You can add a new card by taking a photo of it. You then go to your bank and verify your card. It's then added to Passbook. "And now with just a touch, you pay. It's that fast and that easy," Cue said.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:50:07 PM
This Apple commercial is very alluring. Is it getting hot in here?

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:59:02 PM
It's a watch!

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 5:59:21 PM
Cook: we have one more thing. (Huge cheers). Here comes ....

by Neal Karlinsky via twitter 9/9/2014 5:59:58 PM
Tim Cook just fist pumped the air, the crowd is going wild. The long rumored watch is here!

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 6:00:14 PM
"Apple watch is the most personal device ever created. We set out to make the best watch in the world," Cook said.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 6:00:42 PM
This place is getting hot Alyssa.. I'm in the second row !!

by herman 9/9/2014 6:00:42 PM
He'll yeah!

by Ndrew 9/9/2014 6:02:21 PM
Finally!

by Kevin Maguire 9/9/2014 6:02:22 PM
Tim Cook introducing the Apple Watch.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 6:02:33 PM
"We've placed extra functionality in a mechanism that has been in the watch for decades." Tim Cook is talking about the crown of the watch. When you turn the digital crown on the Apple Watch, it zooms in and out. You can also scroll through a list. All of this can be done without blocking the screen.

by Alyssa Newcomb 9/9/2014 6:04:05 PM
The Apple Watch is as much about personal tech as it is about style, Cook says. "We thought not only of the function but of the way it looked."
