Official Apple Live Event Thread (Event is OVER) Details in the OP.

How to Watch, what time, etc.
Leaks
iPhone 6 video leaked from China. Probably a fake. The Music icon is different from the iOS 8 beta.
iWatch design leaks. Hints at a square and a circle design.
iPhone 6 leak from video.
What to expect:
iPhone 6 announcement's. Most believe that the iPhone 6 will come in 2 different sizes, as reported by Cult of Mac. A 4.7 inch phone and a 5.5 inch phone.
iWatch/iBand/Wearable: What ever they want to call it. A lot of experts believe that an iWatch will be unveiled tomorrow. It appears that the iWatch will come in two sizes or shapes. NFC should be included. Some believe a wireless charging capability will come with it.
iOS 8: The release of iOS 8, announced in June, should come tomorrow.
OSX 10.10 Yosemite: OSX is usually released with iOS, so if iOS comes out, I imagine that OSX will come out too.
iPods: According to Wired, we might see a new line of iPods. They won't be the iPod touch though. So no one really knows anything about this.
What we won't see
iPads: I highly doubt that an iPad will be released or announced tomorrow.
Mac: Probably no new Mac's either.
News

Apple announced their version of a smart watch. The coveted iWatch. It will start at $349. It will be released early next year. It is called the Apple Watch.
Read all about the Apple Watch here.
iPhone 6 and 6+
2 new iPhone models: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
iPhone 6 is 4.7", iPhone 6 Plus is 5.5".
Power button on right side.
A8 chip - 13% smaller chip, 25% faster CPU, 50% faster GPU, 50% more energy efficient than A7.
Battery a little better on the iPhone 6; iPhone 6 Plus has amazing battery life.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) - make calls over LTE internet instead of using minutes.
Camera is still 8MP... but there are lots of improvements to stabilization and other things. More details will come about this later... trying to keep up with things being that the stream is sketchy today.
NFC beam built into both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
New leather and silicone cases.
iPhone 6 - 16GB - $199, 64GB - $299, 128GB - $399
Preorders start Friday the 12th, ships on the 19th
Available September 17th.
iPhone 6 Plus - 16GB - $299, 64GB - $399, 128GB - $499
iPhone 5c 8GB - now free, 5s now starting at $99
Apple announced it's biggest phone ever. The 4.7 inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5 inch iPhone 6+. The price for the 6 starts at $199 and comes in gold, grey, and white. The 6+ starts at $299.
iOS 8
Apple announced that iOS 8 will be released on September 17th.
Apple Pay
Pay via NFC.
Take a picture of your card and import it to Passbook.
Cashiers won't see any of your info... credit card number, name, etc.
Suspend payments using Find My iPhone.
Apple working with retailers to build Apple Pay into shopping apps.
Apple—like every other phone manufacturer—has been trying to replace your wallet for a long time. But attempts to do this have mostly failed, and Apple has stayed away from the most widely accepted method, NFC payments. That’s all changed with Apple Pay. There’s now an NFC antenna at the top of the iPhone, which means ApplePay will function anywhere that something like Google Wallet would work. The TouchID fingerprint reader at the bottom is supposed to provide an extra layer of security. You can either take a picture of a credit card to use it (presumably there will be some safeguards to stop you from stealing your friend’s identity) or use a card that’s on file with your iTunes account already. Apple also has a fairly long explanation for why your data is secure, saying that cashiers and merchants won’t be able to see your card number, Apple won’t know what you buy, and that you can suspend service on a lost phone using the Find My iPhone service—although that’s going to need to be tested first.
Apple has struck partnerships for its NFC wallet with American Express, Visa, MasterCard, six major banks including Chase and Bank of America, and 22,000 retailers, including Macy’s Bloomingdale’s, Walgreens, Whole Foods, Disney, Staples, and McDonalds. Eddy Cue says Apple Pay’s partnerships cover 80 percent of the US credit card base, which will hopefully provide enough of a critical mass that paying by iPhone will be more than a novelty.

One of the things that seems weird to me is that Apple is actively advertising this event. They typically just announce the event and chill.
If you go to apple.com it redirects to the live stream.

I would be careful getting too hyped about it. It should come tomorrow, but could also be delayed until September 19th to come out when the new iPhone's launch.

i have to go to silicon valley this week, i could not figure out why i couldn't get a hotel room until i put it together.

Why are you thinking that? The new iOS has always come out before the phone launch day hasn't it?
ETA: I'm thinking iOS 8 will be available no later than a week from tomorrow.

I don't know. I just have a weird feeling. I think they should and will release it and Yosemite tomorrow.

The new iOS always drops on the Wed before the phone is released on a Friday.
If the new iPhone is released next Friday, iOS 8 will be available next Wed.

Yeah I thought it was usually something like a week after the official announcement.
Would be awesome if they just drop it at midnight after the announcement!

I liked how last year with Mavericks, as soon as they announced it was free, it was live.
They should do that with iOS 8.

Can't wait!
I'm always on the original phone cycle so then everybody gets the s version and my phone sucks. if rumors I've read are true, I'm gonna have to hold out for the bigger one. Supposedly it'll be better. But I also don't want that huge phone. Decisions decisions
In the meantime can't wait to play with my new os

Agreed. The final beta is usually out and tested thoroughly by the announcement date. Never have understood the week-ish long wait.
