Not quite. Scott Forstall gave the explanation - before he was fired! - in an interview:

"We design the keynotes so that the big reveal of the product happens around 40 minutes into the presentation. When the big image of the product appears on screen, we want the time shown to be close to the actual time on the audience's watches. But we know we won't hit 40 minutes exactly."

The iPhone was announced at 9:42 ;)

Ahh, that's actually an even more clever way to do it!

I just assumed 9:41 because I remember it was around that time anyways.
 
OK, here's my go.

Only visible changes are San Francisco and the rumoured Home app.
 
This is pretty good considering I made it on a chromebook.

Also, I added another version with Helvetica Neue Ultralight for the text. (I know about the rumored use of San Francisco, but I personally hate how it looks on iOS, looks great on OS X and Apple Watch though :D)

I found the 5K version of that wallpaper if anyone wants it for their iPad or iMac:

Nice! Wish I had even half the talent in photo editing to do these. Never really went and figured out photoshop and such.

Makes me think of the iOS 7 rumor images way back when, I seem to recall seeing a lot of them having grass-like wallpapers. :p
 
Here's what I came up with. I debated using San Francisco for the branding but decided to stick with Myriad. The OS use SF though. I figured I'd make a a pun on security. Securing the top spot is what I thought up.

I love the wallpaper. Is there a way I can download this?
 
Here are some iOS 9 wallpapers that would mimic the Apple style very well.

Just to say, love it! I'm using it my wallpaper know! It doesn't look so good when you are adjusting it but once it's set and you see it with the icons it pops! Also, kept referring back and got it to sit the same as on your demo shots! Thanks again! :)
 
Those wallpapers are actually used by Apple in ads..

Actually, none of these are used by Apple, they are just similar, and that's why I said they mimic the Apple style. Below is the one used by Apple in ads.

Thank you :) I really like wallpapers which are to do with nature and are nice and bright and cheerful. I found all the new iOS 8 ones a bit dull - the default mountain/night sky wallpaper is probably the first default wallpaper on iOS I really didn't like, so I'm hoping they go for something a bit 'lighter' this year.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I've attached just a flat picture of the iPhone I used as the basis for the mockup, so you can see how it was set a bit more easily.
