Only way they do this is if they cancel the 18k gold watch. They will not sell a solid 18k gold watch for $10k and a gold plated or anodized watch for less than $1k. No way on earth.
They won't make 2 watches that look identical and have identical internals and have a price difference of $9k between them.
Concur. They might offer some other metal that looks much different. Perhaps Ti.
Do they come out with the subdued versions of gold on a new Watch similar to the gold on iPhone? Then they can simultaneously debut a subdued rose gold Watch to go along with a rumored subdued rose gold iPhone? Then those purchasing can at least match their gold iPad, iPhone, and ? Watch and possibly their rose gold iPhone and rose gold ? Watch.
1. The iPad Pro Transformer with attached Keyboard which can flip backwards to act as a stand. It will have a 4K touch screen and new A9s CPU with graphics muscle to handle the larger screen.
2. The iPhone 6s with new A9 CPU, new camera with ZOOM, 256 GB Storage option, unbendable case, in new colors including Rose Gold.
3. Apple TV Console with new Apple TV App Store, controllers, games, and TV channels - including Apple's own TV Bundle, and connection to Apple Music and the iTunes Store for Movies and Music. Apple TV Console will be Apple's newest tab on its website. It will sport the new A9s CPU, have 64 GB Storage. Games, Apps, and Movies can be stored in iTunes on your Mac or PC and downloaded as needed through your network. Or Apps and Games can be downloaded on demand from the Apple TV App Store.
4. Updated Apple Watch 2.0 Software
5. New Apple Retail Store Designs. We will get to see Angela speak at an Apple event for the first time.
6. Apple Music and Radio Updates - Beats 2, Beats 3 radio stations - including Country and Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Classical Music.
7. Performance by someone such as The Weeknd as an introduction to the Apple Music Festival in London.
Santa will give you:
1. A lump of coal
2. Some pocket lint
3. A fossilized specimen of dung from a triceratops
4. A broken TV remote control for a 1979 Magnavox TV
Obviously I meant the Apple wireless keyboard is the only current Apple-built iPad keyboard. Clearly there are many of options out there, some of which I have personally reviewed for this site. I have a Brydge Air that I really like, though it does make the iPad considerably thicker and heavier.
Yes I recall the review. I chose the Logitech for the price, aesthetics, and thin and light design. But it wasn't particularly well made. The magnetic hinge on the keyboard eventually failed--the hinge had a few pins which slid out and the hinge was no longer attached the keyboard. The keyboard still works, but I have to carry it separately. I can't recommend it, but for anyone who uses an iPad for work, it's invaluable.
I was just commenting that I didn't think it was fair to slam the iPad as a product for not including an integrated keyboard when the iPad has supported Bluetooth keyboards from the beginning for anyone that wanted to do a lot of text input.
The Apple Watch's ancient spiritual ancestor, the Pulsar LED watches from the 1970s, were offered in stainless steel, 14 kt gold-filled, and 18 kt solid gold. Apple hasn't done that middle tier. A gold-filled Apple Watch would probably be under $3,000. (Gold-filled means there is measurable gold weight on top of the base metal, unlike gold plating which is just enough to give it color.)

I need the whole Rose Gold experience... must have a matching Rose Gold shoes and belt... bring back the '70s!!!
Well PED thinks the larger venue is so Apple can throw a Taylor Swift concert for Apple employees. He claims there is no evidence more journalists than usual got invites to the event so thinks the additional space is for Apple employees.
Not sure this is all "breaking" but ok. I have to imagine that they will update the keyboard for the Apple TV and/or iPad along with needing an update for iMac and Mac Mini.

Except they had to recall all of them because the electronics were too fragile. There are virtually no surviving, working P1s. The P2 was the first based on a single chip and mass produced, and its stainless steel and 18 kt gold models were priced very similarly to the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition adjusted for inflation. A gold-filled option is something Apple could consider for customers who would pay for more than the Apple Watch but not the Edition.
Blech. If Apple is going to have a musical guest get someone better than that. But if Eddy Cue is deciding than I won't be surprised if we get some top 40 crap.

This phone looks very pink. I hope 9to5Mac is right and it is rose gold like Apple Watch which would be more copper than pink.

Oh, you're being too harsh. While I am not a Swift fan by any stretch, it's not a bad marketing tool to get some younger people interested in Apple Music (which, at least amongst my two teen kids and their circle of friends, is a complete unknown). Couldn't hurt with media attention either.

Yes, that's right. There is a substantial population who will not wear silver jewelry or accessories, and $10K is far too steep an entry price for them. If Apple fails to address this market, then they are leaving money on the table.
They can easily offer 18kt solid gold watches, with custom bands and accents, and sell a gold-filled, or even Vermeil standard Watch ... I could see Ive going for that as a compromise. It will likely be a different color gold than he Edition, as well as having the standard watch bands. This will not upset the crowd that's shelling out $10K plus, not only for the satisfaction of solid gold, but also the Limited and therefore exclusive nature of it. The anodized gold Sport Watch is a given regardless. It certainly does not compete with the Edition.

No way they make a less expensive gold watch.

So much for lowered expectations. Now if even one of these things isn't announced it will be considered an epic fail by wall st.

Apple will show:
We'll see - I think you might actually be about 5.13 for 7...
It'll be close, though, between you and Suddenly Newton

I can see this is as quite a plausible explanation.
Add: I love Cook's tweet about the climate change song:

I agree.
