Thoughts and Observations Regarding This Week’s iPhone 4S Event ⇥

An excellent writeup from John Gruber, of course. His observation regarding the October 12 rollout:

This coming Wednesday, 12 October, is going to be one of the biggest software release days in Apple’s history. Probably the biggest.

Three application updates, two new apps, one major OS update, a minor of the same and an all-new cloud storage and syncing system, all launching to the public in a single day.

There are some more truly excellent observations throughout regarding Apple’s retail stores, the final departure of Jobs, and the iPhone 4S itself.
