Do you wonder wait and see how iphone 5 looks like. here now live view of Apple’s iPhone 5 Launch Today
Live from San Francisco, it’s Marketing Land’s live blog of the big Apple press event, where the new iPhone 5 will almost certainly be announced, along with new iPods, iTunes 11 and more.
How can we say that so confidently? Well, 9to5 Mac spotted pages within Apple.com’s own search results. While you can’t get to the actual pages, they pretty much speak to these product coming out. The tech blogs have gone wild, though these were largely expected.
What remains a mystery is whether we’ll get the rumored iPad Mini. Another rumor is that this will be announced later this year.
Stay tuned. The event starts at 10am, inside the Yerba Buena Center For The Arts above (picture by Dennis Goedegebuure, used with permission).
I’ll be constantly updating this page (as wifi allows). It’s not a fancy setup that auto-refreshes, to yeah, you’ll have to reload. But I’ll let you know when it’s done. We’ll also have formal coverage after the event here on Marketing Land and on our sister-site, Search Engine Land.
And we’re in:
