Don't understand why they need to build this again for the media? The device already has the hype of previous apple device launches... just launch the damned thing and they will come.
it's all part of the lust and schmoozing that goes on between Apple and parts of the media.. I think Apple has probably worked out that it's worth it. Smart presentation stands, easy to photograph, makes some of the more hyperventilating visitors in awe etc. Put them in a good mood, make them feel special, and they're more likely to feel there's something good to write about.
Psychology is a massive factor in marketing, and the media isn't immune to it's effects, however 'impartial' some may profess to be.
you would think that a site called "Apple Insider" would have some "insider info" obviously this site needs to be renamed to Apple Outsider? Why not pay some Apple employees some bribes or put the thumbscrews to them? We need Jack Bower!
I predict a iPlane it takes off and heads into the stratosphere!
Well, as long as we're engaging in zany theories , here's one of mine:
I think that the Apple Watch will be one of Apple's biggest revenue streams, second only to the iPhone, and will reach this level in only a few year's time. My evidence for this bullish stance?: cherry trees.
The auditorium for Apple Campus 2 is surrounded by cherry trees, which typically have a peak bloom time at the end of March, beginning of April. I would imagine that Apple would place a lot of value on any event that would take place during this time, which appears likely to coincide with the Apple Watch release schedule. By the time Apple has their first event in the new auditorium in 2017, I'd bet that the Apple Watch will have gained plenty of momentum, setting the stage for it to become the keystone for your digital life.
This would also mesh with Apple's announcement: Spring Forward (into the digital future with Apple Watch).
The end.
So why doesn't Apple have Apple trees all over the place Goddammit! Yes I know the south Bay was full of Cherry orchards before the bulldozers arrived. Can you imagine the fun we would be having if it was called "Cherry" and the Mac"intosh" would have been called
the "Bing" as in the Cherry Bing lol - Meh maybe not!

It would be nice if the 'official AppleInsider app' wouldn't show the story above the comments when I've just tapped to see only comments. So much scrolling.
Anyway, back on topic... The extra bit being built is probably just to demo the %uF8FFWatch. Nothing more, nothing less.
Apple Insider is keeping your finger fit with the extra scrolling, so be thankful for that.
Hmmm...September 9th and now March 9th.... first the 9th day of the 9th month and then the 9th day of the 3rd month...
what is Apple signaling with all the nines...? The answer is out there...

Cherry trees also need rain.
Something which the possible Apple Watch parade will get plenty of.
Does anybody ever take a step back and think how absurd this post and associated endeavour is? Filming a covered temporary construction for a commercial event? This, or photographs of the posters outside WWDC.
(i'm as guilty as anybody as I click on the links and look etc, but rationally, come on, it's a bit embarrassing that we lust for this really isn't it%u203D) It's just as well this world has nothing to worry about like conflict, famine, disease, debt etc!
I beg to differ.
I think there's still a lot of conflict, famine, disease and debt, unfortunately.
All this extra space they need for the Apple Watch demo is worrying for the stores, as it shows how difficult it will be to find space for them. These watches are going to need a lot of staff guiding people. It’s not like the iDevices, where people can pick them up and try them at their leisure.
I predict that the Apple retail staff will get swamped with people needing assistance for trying them on, even if they don't buy them, to the detriment of the rest of the store.

Sure.
Whilst they're huge watches, I really meant all the personal assistance that they require.

They may also have the 12" inch laptops to show.

I wonder if they are poking fun at google's barges with these little structures. they are legal and temporary.
Don't you have job to go to? that's a piss poor remark

What in the world about those "mystery barges" isn't worthy of some mocking?

And as they were finally revealed to be a prospective marketing venue the remark is even somewhat on point. Not likely, but on point nevertheless.
Steve Job's - "I've finally cracked the TV Remote." Introducing the Apple Watch - a TV remote you always have with you.
No, he didn't say the remote. He was talking about the interface.
Oh sure, tell the thieves where they can easily find the $10,000 gold watches.
Yes ... My remark was piss poor, unlike this stellar gem.
Is there any chance that this event will include product announcements other than the Apple Watch?
Oh goodness me, yes!
Hmmm...September 9th and now March 9th.... first the 9th day of the 9th month and then the 9th day of the 3rd month...
what is Apple signaling with all the nines...? The answer is out there...
So 3 is 9 now?
Truly, the reality distortion field is strong with you.
Unfortunately it’s not looking that way.
Showing off iOS 9.
Nein.
Hope there is more than AppleWatch. Not to diminish it in any way. I just hope there is more.
Retina MBA.
AppleTV.
Something.
Anything.

Don't think Apple wants any other product to steal AppleWatch thunder. This is the first new product in 4 years. Let it have the stage for itself.
Doubt we see a new AppleTV till at least WWDC
I'm afraid the iCar has already stolen the watch's thunder.
