Kodawarisan offers the first specific date for Apple's fall media event. According to the Japanese site, Apple is planning on holding their usual iPod-announcing event on Wednesday, September 7th.
Apple has traditionally held their Fall media events in the first part of September with the past three events taking place on September 1st, 2010, September 9th, 2009, and September 9th, 2008. Last year's event introduced new iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffle models. This year's event, however, has been widely expected to also incorporate the rumored iPhone 5 announcement. We confirmed with Kodawarisan that the date was not the product of guesswork, but came from a source in the know.
In previous years, Apple has updated the iPhone in the summer during WWDC, leaving the iPod to wait until this September media event. This year, however, without an iPhone upgrade at WWDC, all eyes are on this September event for the launch of the iPhone 5. Apple's suppliers are said to begin shipments of the iPhone 5 in September but AllThingsD has suggested the iPhone 5 won't actually be released until October. It's not clear if that gives Apple room to pre-announce the iPhone 5 in September, or if it means Apple will let September pass by with no mention at all of the next iPhone.
Kodawarisan has been a longtime Apple site that we first referenced back in 2002. We haven't seen many rumors from it in recent years, though notably, in 2009, they did correctly pinpoint the launch date the launch of a new Mac mini.
Update: We originally reported September 8th, but that was in Japanese time. The U.S. date is September 7th, according to Kodawarisan.
That's why he said, "Apart from the iPod touch" ...
I stand corrected :)
(I wish that Apple updated the iPod. Technically they could release a 640 gig iPod classic. Put a wifi on it with Airplay/HDMI and you can carry your video library with you to your friends)
Really? People still interested in the classic? That's cool! I hope it gets a huge update just for you!! :D
Ah, the pure joy of travelling with the classic is having a battery life that puts all other ipods to shame along with not having to choose what music / audiobooks to take along.
While it may not be as flashy as the other ipods it is in many situations just unparalleld. So yes I am also hoping for an update...even if it's "just" more storage!
Ack at you guys still rocking iPhone 3G's. I'm surprised the battery isn't **** by now. I hope you guys are all rocking iPhone 5's in a few weeks :D
...and to think, I thought my 3GS was ancient and slow
Yup, looking to be an iPhone 5 owner soon enough!
But my 3GS, surprisingly, is still in great shape! It hasn't really slowed down... the battery is still going strong, all the buttons still work, and all the speakers/mike are fine! The only complaint is that there's a pixel or two in the middle of the screen that's given out :( and of course a few scratches...
Aww, hopefully they don't can the little guy then. Maybe it'll get a huuge capacity increase. Maybe a touch display? Idk, just whatever will make you guys happy, and crave the updated classic. :D
Even if they officially discontinue it, that won't erase my current one from existence? I have no financial interest in updating my iPod. I haven't had a single problem with it since I bought it almost a year and a half ago. I don't need a touch screen on my high-capacity iPod, that's the simple elegance in it. In that application of the device, I much prefer the click wheel.

Fifteen years ago to this day, the iPhone, the revolutionary device presented to the world by the late Steve Jobs, officially went on sale.
The first iPhone was announced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, and went on sale on June 29, 2007. "An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator... these are not three separate devices," Jobs famously said. "Today, Apple is going to reinvent the...
Apple last week launched an updated version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it is the first Mac that is equipped with an updated M2 chip. As it's using a brand new chip, we thought we'd pick up the M2 MacBook Pro and compare it to the prior-generation M1 MacBook Pro to see just what's new.

There appears to be a serious bug in macOS High Sierra that enables the root superuser on a Mac with a blank password and no security check. The bug, discovered by developer Lemi Ergin, lets anyone log into an admin account using the username "root" with no password. This works when attempting to access an administrator's account on an unlocked Mac, and it also provides access at the login...
