From the message, it seems that Dalrymple is suggesting that Apple will perform two separate events media, one for the iPhone and one for the mini iPad.
The message came after John Gruber of Daring Fireball gave his opinion on Sharing Space around the event September 12, rumoured to mean bringing Dalrymple, Oh that Gruber is a smart fellow.
But more I think about it, the less sense it makes to the iPhone even sharing the stage at the ad with any other product. The iPhone is too big, too cold and barns too much attention and it's in Apple's interest in keeping the undiluted attention. I m thinking it makes more sense for Apple to hold two events, Gruber said.
Gruber's thinking stems from Apple, saturating the market with its hype products, with the media and public attention on the upcoming iPhone which includes news, reviews and guide guides in the weeks following his announcement and press release, Apple would be smart to roll out its public attention in October with the iPad mini.
First, an iPhone event focused exclusively on the new iPhone and iOS 6. Then, the iPhone ships nine days later and there's another wave of attention focused iPhone how come the reviews. Then, in the first or second week of October, Apple holds a traditional music event, exactly along the lines of the events to which they've been debuting new iPod over the last decade. An event where the iPad Air, new iPod Touch iPod and maybe even new or updated at least music player (heh) share the stage, linked together with the theme of the consumption of iTunes media content that I can buy. An event where the iPhone shares the stage? That I m not buy, Gruber wrote.
When it was first reported that Apple will hold a media event rumored iPhone 5 on 12 September, Dalrymple responded with a yep.
