Nobody gives a fuck what the next iPhone is going to look like. Apple events are no longer these mystical ripples in spacetime because 1) Steve Jobs is dead and 2) Apple is not cool anymore 3) everyone knows the next iPhone will be a rounded rectangle with a screen on one side. 
Apple thinks that they will reclaim their cool by controlling leaks but nobody is going to get excited about Tim Cook pulling the next iPhone out of his pocket. Apple&amp;#x27;s engineering is still great, but they are no longer an entertainment event.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>CydeWeys</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t think it&amp;#x27;s the iPhone they&amp;#x27;re primarily worrying about, it&amp;#x27;s their first foray into a new field.  So that could be the first Apple automobile or the first Apple AR&amp;#x2F;VR device.  &lt;i&gt;That&lt;/i&gt; might matter a lot if it gets leaked way ahead of time.</text></comment>

As an example, I give this post which is currently sitting at #1 on HN.</text></comment>
