Well, this is what I think:

1) I'm excited for a new album yes or yes. I don´t care when it arrives. But hope its sooner than later.

2) If apple rumours are true, it could be only in a limited edition package and it would have sense for them.*

* 800$ x iPhone = 40 albums (more or less) x 500K phones (minimum)... Make your numbers.

3) It could be only commercial collaboration between them, so they only could show their new single making a great event for both.

4) And the most important, what would f**k all other ideas, WE DONT HAVE MINIMUN OFFICIAL SIGNAL THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN. (when they presented Invisible, we were watching announcements one month earlier)

That said, hope to be wrong at all and we really get the single on Tuesday.

PD: Sorry if my english is not very good.

True. Guy Oseary hasn't really made any difference yet: no teasers, no fan communication, no hints, nothing at all. Well paid job with no obligations to do anything...

I'm not the first one to mention this, but I'm not sure how I feel about the whole corporate support thing. Yes I know it's a good idea for them, yes the album is all that matters, but there's also something to be said for just saying "You know what, here's our album, it's available RIGHT NOW on itunes" and they upload it.

I know they were the poster boys for the iPod way back when, but that was actually dedicated to MUSIC whereas the iPhone is a mobile device used for a lot more. I just don't want to see U2 turned into mascots. Also, I hope that if they're doing what they did last time and are giving all of the proceeds to charity.

This is all even if these rumors are true

This is actually a bit interesting since they have the same manager.

And the story just never ends: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/u2-quash-iphone6-rumours-30561793.html

U2 has quashed rumours it has struck a deal with Apple to pre-load their new album on to the iPhone 6.

A spokeswoman for the band said Bono and co have not struck a deal with Apple to release their upcoming album on its next

"They are not releasing their album on the iPhone, and they are not performing at the IPhone launch," she said.

Unverified posts on Twitter had claimed a video shoot in Dublin in recent weeks featured U2 and an Apple product.

The Samuel Beckett bridge was closed for several hours as secret filming went ahead behind black plastic sheets.

However the spokeswoman said U2 were not in the capital at the time.

Apple are expected to launch their new smartphone, the iPhone 6, at a special event on September 9th, but the anticipated at California’s Flint Centre, aunch has been dogged with controversy following the hacking of nude celebrity photos over the past few days.

A partnership between Apple and U2 was not beyond the realms of possibility.

Back in 2004, U2 signed a landmark deal with Apple to promote the a special edition iPod that featured content from the band and an exclusive black and red color scheme.
