I hear from my internal sources at Apple that they have just opened a brand new Apple polishing cloth to clean the beta release button. They are currently polishing the dust off so Tim Cook doesn’t get his finger dirty when he presses it in about an hour. Oh, just in, they opened a second Apple polishing cloth, there’s quite the layer of dust on that thing… 😂🤣👍🏻
There was a Siri Shortcut floating around that has Launch Visual Intelligence with the logo but it didn’t do anything when you activated it. Assigning it to the action button launched a blank screen who knows if they’ll open it up.
I doubt it tho as you can’t remap a long press of the camera button so it would be available in two places if they let you set it to the action button

I could be wrong but I would say tomorrow. Apple usually can't chew gum and walk at the same time... So they'll want all the focus on the SE for today...... Remember we are talking about the Trillion dollar tech company who still takes their website down to make a product announcement in 2025 🤦♂️
They take it down to create hype and excitement, people talk and share when it goes down so all attention is on them. It’s clever.
The reason they take their website down is for suspense. They technically don’t have to, but it helps build up hype for the new product right before it’s announced. It’s actually a very smart marketing strategy.
It was clever 10 years ago.... Now its just dumb
Not saying I know better than them... but I am entitled to an opinion about something they do.
Ok, how many multi-trillion dollar companies do you manage? And how many marketing campaigns do you run?
Because you basically can't buy anything at the store!! If I need a band or something, I don't need that part of the store taken down. It's just dumb.
Oh my bad.. I have to manage a trillion dollar company to have an opinion about something one of them does.... I'm sure if I go through your post history you have never made an opinion about something Apple does right?
When have you ever been so desperate for a watch band that waiting an hour is gonna cause you issues? You order it an hour later it will still come same time 😂
if only there was a way to take the internet with me to make a purchase away from home if the sites down for an hour …. 😂😂
Did ya make your purchase you needed today? Or did the store going down not allow you?
It's an old schtick thats been overdone in my opinion. For the most part it gets ridiculed online.
Also:
According to recent data, Apple's online store generates approximately $691,234 in revenue per minute, making it one of the highest earning companies per minute based on revenue.

What other companies over use it?
Ridiculed or not, it’s free press and gets people talking.
Can we go back to speculating about iOS 18 please?
