Two days after Apple's "Let Us Loop You In" event that saw the debut of the iPhone SE, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and new Apple Watch bands, Apple has posted the full video of its presentation on its YouTube channel. The same video is also available on Apple's event website.


Apple's "Let Us Loop You In" event was shorter than most of its past events, lasting just over an hour. The video kicks off with a look at Apple's environmental efforts, ResearchKit, and a message from Tim Cook about the company's ongoing struggle with the FBI.

Apple then delves into the debut of new Apple Watch bands before moving on to the iPhone SE and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, both of which will be available for order starting tomorrow, March 24.

Apple will be hosting at least two more events in 2016, including its annual Worldwide Developers Conference that typically takes place in June and a fall event where it is expected to debut new flagship iPhones.

Building packaging out of garbage, recycling iPhones, and <gasp!> marketing nylon watch bands!

For that, people flew from other countries to see the spectacle.

We've reached Peak Apple event.
 
This is probably the first keynote in the last 16 years or so that I will miss it. Lame.
Please at WWDC bring MBP, MacPro and TB 5K displays! Enough of this wait.
 
I walked into the Apple store in Birmingham, UK and saw 10s of staff there all different ages, ethnicities and styles and both genders, all excited about their wares. How wonderfully diverse I thought, good for Apple.

I then watched the Spec Bump Keynote and saw exclusively late middle aged white men looking quite morose. I am sure they are all there because they are fantastic at their roles but I couldn't help but think that perhaps diversity is a marketing tool!

Am I too cynical?

I was actually in the Bullring just the other week and it surprised me how many staff that small Apple store actually has - close to 20, I mean 3rd of the people there were the staff... just crazy really. However the store was packed as it always is
 
Who'd wanna watch that garbage again...or for the first time for that matter?
I was very saddened and disappointed. It was a very poor announcement, and felt like a sad attempt to stay relevant. I'm starting to get very romantic thoughts about the new Galaxy Edge and MS Surface Book Pro. I love all my Apple products, but they are just not pushing it look they used to.
 
It was without a doubt the least interesting Keynote I have ever half-watched. I had been hoping for some interesting Mac or software news to spice things up a bit, but alas there was nothing. Final Cut Pro for the iPad Pro would have been nice. There really isn't a good video editing app yet for this supposed pro device.
 
All the people on here that are saying "this is the only keynote I won't be watching" really means that they watched it because how would they know how the keynote played out in order to know they wouldn't watch it"

I was always raised not to be a follower but to seek out and make my own decisions.

Apple used to be a company for people who thought different and didn't follow the majority. Funny how things change.
 
I hate it when people pull out that tired old recycled line. "Hurr if you don't care why did you type a response". Because he is sharing his opinion on how he feels about the subject. He doesn't have to be a totally lifeless drone. I didn't care for the keynote either. Am I allowed to post about that?

It was available on their site pretty much as soon as the event ended. This is YouTube, so that's kind of neither here nor there as far as when they make it available on it.

Seemingly enough to not even think about it, but spend the effort of posting about that.
 
What would excite me is a faster computer that I can make money with. I've been sitting on a bunch of dough - but they don't put any effort towards any machine that actually makes me a living.

I already have the latest iPhone and iPad and they are powerful enough at this point that I may not need to buy new ones for a few years.

They need to be careful not to become only a fashion company, as fashions can change very quickly.

Just like the rest of us can respond to that, right?

Lisa presented an interesting talk on Apple and the environment.
A media event to introduce new products of popular product lines? Seems like a fairly regular thing.
 
I want to be honest, I find it hilarious that prior events consisted of some hardcore speculation and sluething as to what the subtitle meant for these and now they all seriously mean what they mean.

No, we really meant watch bands.

Similar speculation was going on for this event. And I would say that while on the surface it's easy to just assume the watch band connection, I don't think it was really that at all, and was much more of a connection to Infinite Loop and what Tim Cook ended the keynote with.
 
Why didn't Apple just stream it universally on YouTube to begin with?
 
I really enjoyed this keynote, and will be watching it again. Liam is an awesome piece of technology, why are folks on here, an Apple site such downers? The engineering behind those disassembly robots are pure awesome! I read countless threads begging for a smaller iPhone, and Apple delivered it. Do you not get enjoyment out of your Apple products anymore? What's behind all the negativity? What about what Apple is doing for Parkinson's Disease, and other health areas?

I'll give you a clue that rhymes with Dougal, and how they're not always he best of friends.

Besides, why would Apple delegate the streaming of their event to other platforms? First and foremost they want to promote Apple devices, ergo Apple devices are the primary Keynote viewing platform.
 
I paused Dan Carlins episode II of the Achemenid Empire vs The Greeks in the showdown of civilizations and the explosive death of the Old Old World, to watch this keynote. Perhaps this jarring contrast colored my perspective somewhat, and made me judge this presentation unfairly, because wow, snoozer.

...but, did oncle Phil seriously air a slide saying 600 million peoples work PCs are over 5 years old and that an iPad is a viable replacement for them? Because they can plug an Ethernet cable in through a usb adapter? And then... ??? What planet is Apples brass living on?
 
I believe this event was a farewell to the current Apple offices and stage, he said in the end "this is the last event here". So even if there was absolutely nothig to show they'd still do it. It was done primarily for that reason - to say goodbye and start a new era in 2017 in the Infinite Loop 2 (I hope it will have that perfectly fitting and historic name, not something weird or tacky).

Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Center
 
Tim Cook is destroying Apple one product, one presentation at a time. There was a reason Steve Jobs kept things secret. It's so that people would be interested in watching these events and they get free publicity. That's not rocket science. Is Tim too stupid or too lazy to follow that winning formula?

Also, his crappy watch is such a POS. After a year all they can come up with is a crappy band? Is that what he calls innovation? A crappy nylon band?

Steve is rolling over and over in his grave.
