Let's have some fun and predict what's coming tomorrow!

General Event Stuff

1. Absolutely nothing we see on the stream will be live.
2. Press will get hands-on with the new hardware afterwards.
3. Risky - Tim makes some comment that could be seen as a reference to current political affairs.

iPhone

2. The iPhone 14 Pro can shoot 4K at 120fps.
3. There is a purple iPhone in the 14 lineup available to purchase this fall.
4. The case colors finally bring back some saturation and brightness we've been missing the last few years.
5. We will see pixels between the camera cutouts at some point.
6. Pro phones get an always-on mode.
7. The always-on mode has more color and is brighter than what we're used to on Android phones.
8. Always-on customization happens in the same UI that iOS 16 added for the lock screen and home screen.
9. The non-Pro iPhone gets a big old yawn from the press because it's basically the same as the iPhone 13 in most ways.
10. Some people on Twitter will be mad at someone at The Verge for saying this, even though we'll all know they're actually right (doesn't mean it's bad, just not much better than the last model).
11. The most exciting thing about the iPhone 14 will be the larger one, which will greatly outsell the iPhone 13 mini (that second part is a long-term bet).

13. The normal iPhone 14 will get Cinematic mode.
