Black-clad mystery banners spotted ahead of WWDC keynote

WWDC 2013 (black banner 001)

With less then an hour until Apple’s big keynote, WWDC attendees are now being let inside Moscone West and seated. Indicating it may have a surprise announcement up its sleeve, Apple has covered a few banner inside the building in black cloth. But don’t get your hopes up too high, the mystery banners could also advertise a headline new iOS 7 or OS X 10.9 feature rather than a brand new product.

Oh, and we’ve got a few images showing the other another Steve, Steve Wozniak, showing up at WWDC and driving around on his Segway, God-like light shinning over 1 Infinite Loop and more…

And Apple’s design guru Jony Ive. He doesn’t look dressed for a presentation.

It’s quite surreal.

Makes you wonder, no?

Here’s what one joker thinks is under the secret banner.

Anyway, what do you think these tantalizing black-clad banners signify?
