Do you think they are installing plexiglass barriers between the stage and audience to protect the presenters from flying fruit?

Despite all the negative posts on this site regarding the iPhone 7 this past year I'm actually looking forward to this. Not as excited as in years past but excited nonetheless.

Why? Are you expecting to hate what they announce? I don't understand why some people insist on bashing what Apple announces before they even announce it. If you don't like what they announce, then don't buy it. Apple doesn't revolve around you.

Sadly no, because almost everyone there always claps like a complete idiot, while being amazed at even the smallest stuff like when they changed the name from Mac OSX to Mac OS...

I'm not saying throw fruits lol, but don't clap for the dumb stuff and just stay quiet when they announce something laughable like another year of 16gb iPhones while charging you 100$ to upgrade it.

Have some self respect is all I'm saying.
