John Martellaro writing for MacObserver:

I get the feeling that this event will be so important and will so completely punctuate Apple’s vision for the future (CarPlay, home automation, personal health, retail payments) that we’ll be blown away by the scope of the vision that has come together.

Apple has increasingly spent more time explaining their vision during its special events. Even in 2007, when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone, he talked at length about the decision process behind the iPhone’s form factor, its user interface and operating system.

That is also a solid marketing strategy to sell that vision to customers. It is far more easier to embark on a journey when you are given an explanation than when that vision is shoved down your throat.

If next week Apple announces a wearable device, I expect them to dedicate part of the event explaining their ideas. That part also helps developers and vendors alike to understand where they should concentrate their efforts on.

And yes, I strongly believe that next week we will be blown away.
