Also there was not a pronounced time or date of death specified anywhere. Most sources simply stated that Apple announced SJ was dead.

Your being that creepy moon landing denier guy.

Don't be that guy.

Difficult to believe that no one knew about it before.

>>20425312

Not at all, I just think that it made perfect sense. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's not like he's denying SJ's death. Would you blame Apple?

I can almost guarantee someone in his family would have leaked this info if it happened two weeks ago

>>20425318
Difficult to believe that a company with more spending power then The USA kept something hidden?

>>20425344

Except that's exactly what a conspiracy theory is.

>>20425346

What if there was a lot of money involved or Jobs himself didn't want to take the attention away from the 4S. Seems entirely plausible.

my idea on this:

>jobs gets sick as fuck
>doctors say bro you're about to die
>resigns as ceo
>on death bed with family around
>dies
>it's kept on the hush hush
>iphone4s
>then claim he's dead

this would explain why woz kept having dinner with his family and didn't give a single fuck. he already knew

there was no sign of him at the conference because he was about to die from pancreatic cancer you fucking moron

It's not even about hiding it. SJ was always very private about his personal life anyway, noone's seen him for months anyway so it's not like people have been questioning his wherabouts, everyone knew he was gravely ill.

They did exactly the same thing with Osama. There were even reports two years ago saying he had already died and they were planning to announce it when the US government needed a boost, and exactly that happened.

What was wrong with the new iphone?

I think that you're missing the point, A lot of people were expecting him to be there, as it had been rumoured he would but in the couple of weeks leading up there was word of his deteriorating health. I think it's more feasible that he died a while before the conference that less than 24 hours after. Seems a bit too much of a coincidence in the most respectful way possible.

Yeah that worked well... OOOOPPPSSSS

>>20425479

A lot of people expecting the iPhone 5 but was more or less an iPhone 4 upgrade which to me is fine as a new design would've had exactly the same components inside but this is what macfags are like.

I believe this, makes perfect sense both from a business point of view and from the point of view of Jobs's family.

stocks went down but just a little, iPhone4S will do much more damage

>>20425479
it's not new

I think iPhone 4S will actually be a record breaker regardless of the publicity surrounding SJ's untimely death.

No when/where about death suggests this could be true.

I wasn't going to upgrade this year but out of respect for Steve I'm gonna get the new iphone.

The scary thing about the thread the OP is referring to is that I saw it, read it, understood it, and had absolutely zero reason to dismiss it as conjecture AFTER the announcement that Jobs had died yesterday.

A bit too coincidental, and if he really did die at some point prior to the October 4th event (could have been the day before, could have been last week, etc, but two weeks is a bit tough to swallow I suppose), then yes I can see why they would hold off on the announcement because of what it could do to the unveiling of the iPhone 4S.

They may have been forced into the October 4th event because of his death. They normally announce events with several weeks advance notice - this time it was barely what, a week's notice? Hardly the company standard for Apple.

It just seemed a bit too pressured, meaning the event itself. There was no joy in it, no real humor, obviously no Steve Jobs.

This is going to damage Apple in ways even Jobs himself couldn't foresee.

Screencap?

I didn't save it at the time, unfortunately... kinda wish I had now but, that's that.

The thread said that it was from a reliable source and he has 90% reason to believe it. 5 hours later the news is broken. Then again there's so much shit posted on here that it's like psychics, you're bound to get a hit eventually.
