September (20) Apple Event

[Alli]

I just set an alarm for tomorrow. Forgot today was already Tuesday and the event is today. Anyone else planning on watching?

I have absolutely no expectations. I’m just sitting back waiting for iOS 14 to be released.

Same here, I won't be updating any devices this year but the new iOS is always the thing I look forward to most. Word has it they won't talk about the actual iPhone as of yet, at least that's what they said on the news this morning.

I think they will be combining some things such as Apple Music, TV, Arcade, etc. into one monthly fee. There have been plenty of "confirmations" of those types of rumors. They are making more and more money from "services" and I feel like this is mostly a "Services" event.

I’m ready for that. I’ve had Apple Music from the beginning. I have Apple+ from the free year that came with my purchase last year, and have decided to keep it. A bundle that would also include Apple News would be great.

Slow start. We’re talking about how wonderful the health aspects of Apple Watch are.

Apple Watch 6 available in red. Pretty. Measures blood oxygen saturation. Now people will be able to tell that they are getting enough oxygen even when wearing a mask.

 

[Alli]

New watch faces. Ho hum. New interfaces available.

OMG - here’s something awesome - the solo loop. Flexible silicon loop in 7 colors. And one that’s braided in 5 colors.

New take on the leather loop. I wonder if it will be available for the smaller size this time?

 

[SuperMatt]

Removing the power adapter on Apple Watch... sounds like they plan to do the same with iPhone to meet their conservation goals.

 

[SuperMatt]

You can have multiple watches synced from one iPhone with their own phone numbers... seems like they are aiming it at kids or grandparents

 

[Alli]

Fitness +

Trainers and playlists for all kinds of training from beginner to expert.

Apple One confirmed.... $15, $20, or $30 a month.

Seems like the iPad announcement is just for the mid-low range models.

 

[Alli]

IPad os is what I really want. I got a new iPad last year, so I’m good hardware-wise.

Apple One confirmed.... $15, $20, or $30 a month.

I’ll wind up with the top tier. But I share with the extended family.

Touch id on the on l off bottom for iPad Air!

 

[Alli]

Clever. TouchID built right into the power button.

 

[SuperMatt]

The lab they show during the a14 chip reveal looks pretty cool. I wonder if this chip will go into an update to iPad Pro and for the new Macs..

 

[Alli]

YAY! OS update tomorrow!!!!

 

[SuperMatt]

iPad Air has a better processor than iPad Pro now?

 

[Eric]

YAY! OS update tomorrow!!!!

Right no, can't wait!

 

[Alli]

Ordered the braided band. I thought $99 for a band? Oh hell naw! Then I remembered I had at least two unused $25 Apple store gift cards. Done, and done!
