Today at 10:00 AM Pacific Time Apple will be kicking off their Media Event which will be held at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The event is expected to talk about the 5c which would be a cheaper model with a plastic back and come in different colors. The 5s will look pretty much the same as the 5 but possibly come in white, black, champagne gold, & a lighter shade of grey. Upgraded hardware with an A7 chip which will be about 33% faster than the current A6 chip. An improved camera with a dual-LED flash. Lastly, a finger print scanner which would be where the home button is and be used for security authentication. The fingerprint sensor could potentially be used for phone navigation as well. Combined with Apple's new iCloud password manager, logging in to all your sites and services could be as simple as swiping your thumb over your phone.
What are you'r thoughts and opinions and do you think think they will have that "One More Thing"?

@killerpenguins I'm waiting to see if there's a new iPhone with holographic projection and tea-making facilities, so sort of excited....
Seriously, other than what's been rumoured, I've no idea what the "One More Thing" will be... unless they're going to make iThing... :P
"This should brighten everyone's day" is bound to be hinting at something tho', I reckon... so... iTorch... iLighthouse... iLantern... :ar!
btw, here's one site for live coverage of the event: http://www.ustream.tv/ltktv
Edit.. WARNING: interrupted by numerous 30s ads every couple of minutes, it seems...and just talking heads...
Just found this info:
Live blog services for the iPhone event will be available via http://live.cnet.com/Event/CNETs_Apple_Sept_10_event_live_blog

... and more. In addition, live-streaming services will kick off via private news channels and video streaming services such as WPTV, USTREAM, WCPO.
I also want apps to come to the AppleTV. That would be awesome
But please God don't let it be another new aspect ratio, or I might just stamp on my iPhone and start focusing on Android instead
I keep hearing rumours of a golden iPhone, that would be madness.

Hi @RP any different ones than the ones I posted? (I'm fed up already with the talking heads and ad interruptions of http://www.ustream.tv/ltktv .... )
No, I'm just following news coming from Macnn, Macrumors, Appleinsider and watching the stream from CNET. I tried watching a few of the others, but the were pretty bad.
The CNET one is alright. No ads.

iPhone 5C is $549 off-contract for 16GB version, btw. Not mentioned at event...for good reason."
Wow, that's bad.

Why is that bad? If you want to buy it off contract, you pay for the tech. If you don't think it's a good deal for what you NEED it for, then you don't buy it.
