Here's my prediction of the keynote, in this order: - OS X 10.10 with some strange codename that's hard to say, spell, or search for. It will improve battery life, bring laptops out of sleep mode quicker, look and feel more like iOS, and have better support for 4K displays. - New Apple 4K display (since it's been 986 days since last refresh and OS X 10.10 is going to have better support for 4K displays). - Minor update to Mac Mini (it's been 582 days since last refresh, the longest stretch ever for the Mac Mini). - Minor update to Retina MacBook Pro (it's only been 218 days since last refresh, but they'll put in things that weren't quite ready in last release... like Broadwell chips). - iOS 8 with a focus on the HealthBook app. - iPhone 6 with a 4.7" display (no 5.5" display). It will be thinner with some sapphire components. - And one more thing... the iWatch (since iOS 8 is going to have a focus on the HealthBook app).
Here's what gets left out: - No AppleTV (it's technically ready, but needs more deals with content providers to happen). - No new iPads yet. They'll have new sapphire version with the fingerprint reader later this year. - No iMac updates. They'll wait until they have the 4K version ready and will use the new Apple 4K Display to get their supply chain up and running. - No 12" MacBook. - No home automation stuff.
My guess is they'll release something with technology that's been out for a while. They'll likely pretend it's somehow better than everything else in the world, and therefore will cost twice as much.
iWatch is a red herring. Instead, it'll be iArmband - a more conspicuous device. Initially it'll be available only in red. To activate, simply lift your arm 45 degrees above level and say "Hail HYDRA"
Considering the screen on my phone cracked over the weekend (even with a case, still not quite sure how it happened) I hope they announce new Bruce Willis Glass.

@shawn What's your guess for the cost of that 4k Display?
$999, same price as current Thunderbolt display which gets cut to $499

Dwight Schrute makes an appearance to announce that a fresh pair of beets will be included with every new iOS device.

Looks like it's Yosemite:
Maybe Apple is launching an anti national parks campaign?
@dave
haha... he said yosemite and I posted this! I have broken the "posts should contribute" rule, and I am ashamed
I don't know what you're talking about, this definitely contributed in a meaningful way, unlike this post I'm posting right now.
