Speculation about the launch of the Iphone 6S abounds
It could be a massive happening
Just call Apple the king of hype. Blogs and tech geeks have
devoured leaks about new technology updates from the secretive company
for years, but that fascination has evolved to a new level: guessing the
building in which Apple’s next gadgets will be announced.
According to the local blog Hoodline,
San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium has been mysteriously
booked for a 7,000-seat “private event” until September 13th, fueling
speculation that Apple is planning to announce the iPhone 6S in the
space.
Many Apple watchers expect the company to announce its new phone on Sept. 9. The iPhone 6S is rumored to feature sensitive Force Touch technology, which gives phones the ability to differentiate between hard touches and taps, among other upgrades.
The blog reports an unusual amount of security around the events
space, with some sidewalks on the perimeter of the building even being
shut down.
Hoodline reports that the events application in question identifies
the goings-on as a “trade show,” and the mysterious events planner has
received permission to hang misshapen-star-shaped logos in some of the
windows. And while Apple’s logo doesn’t match that description,
speculators are still optimistic: “that could just be something that
Apple’s using as a placeholder to throw off the scent,” Yahoo Finance writes. MacRumors
was more skeptical, pointing out that the space is booked under “Adams
and Associates”–a company without known ties to Apple–and that the
designs for the star logos are a bit too detailed to be decoys.
Fortune has reached out to Apple for comment and will update this story with any reply.
