    So it doesn’t have the flat edges, as the rumours suggested 

    Ya, I like this look much better.  Flat edges would have been weird.  Love to see the leekers get it wrong!
    The “leaker” renderings were ugggggly!! So happy it was just wrong.
    That was the best part of today's event - I LOLed when I saw how wrong the leeks were.

    My Series 2 is worried. 
    As is my Series 3, being a keen cyclist!
    It sounds like your Series 3 may get the cycling enhancements from the WatchOS upgrade.   All the enhancements except the fall detection.   But, if you don't fall off, you don't need that!.

    They still sell the S3, even though the emergency OS update that just arrived will require the hours long unpair, set-up-as-new, download install, then restore procedure for it. Yuck.
    ? My Series 3 updated via my iPhone without all that. 
    Cool. Good for you. Mine not so much.

    This is strange. Apple.com simply has this announced as "Apple Event" on 9/14. The newsroom page has nothing about it. I don't see any official apple source calling this anything but "Apple Event." Even the embedded twitter video doesn't actually name the event, and even uses the odd/generic hashtag #AppleEvent and not an actual title of the event like the purported "California Streaming." 

    Strange.
    Probably posted a placeholder graphic. It will be fixed soon. 
    I would agree that the world's largest corporation just screwed up announcing a headline event announcing (tens of?) billions of dollars of their flagship products. This is Big News(tm) and they can't get the announcements timed right? 

    Maybe Apple really is having a hard time finding competent staff.

  • Apple Wallet will support IDs and driver's licenses in iOS 15

    There is no chance I will ever use the ID app to voluntarily hand my iPhone to a law enforcement officer.

  • Apple launches new Apple TV 4K with A12 Bionic CPU, redesigned Siri remote

    I appreciate the mute button and Thread support, but other than that, I’m really finding this upgrade to be completely lackluster. Apple really missed a prime opportunity here to increase their market share by either delivering a revolutionary new product or by lowering the price on them. I’ll be a day one buyer, obviously. But how many casual, mainstream customers will be tempted by yet another expensive and iterative upgrade?
    I see nothing to buy here. YMMV. 

    I'm guessing that the AppleTV+ subscription comes with this for a year, but no idea if you get an extra year with each purchase, or if limited to one free year per AppleID.
