They are aware that one of the finest Doctor Who episodes is called "blink", and it's a horror episode. :)

I expected something more...

How much more can we expect? The very invention & dramatic effect of the iPhone 1 will never be duplicated by this brand. Steve Jobs is gone. We need to lower our expectations.

Im just happy they are finally getting around to addressing the water resistance issue. That was long overdue. Im not so much looking for the next revolutionary product as Im hoping they just clean up the product they have.
 
Apple has official jumped the shark. First off, its always been stupid to have a music act at the end of product announcements. They've been terrible and detract from the product (only exception would be announcement of Apple Music). This time took the cake though as we were introduced to Lady Gag-Ga and Cousin It's love child. Really Apple? That's what you want attached to your brand?

Underwhelming product updates, no macbook pro update, and an idiot wearing a giant bow in their head.

Yeah, Apple really jumped the shark when they had a music act the end (like they always do, anyways).

Disappointed again!

Apple Watch 1 with no GPS, only 500nits brightness and was essentially off 90% of the time got less than 24 hours on a battery charge.

With Apple Watch 2 getting GPS and increasing brightness capability to 1000nit, and only a very minor battery bump, what will the battery life be? 10 to 12 hours?
 
I think they said in the Keynote that the 7 lasts 2 hours longer than the 6S.

I will be very surprised if we see such an improvement in real world usage, nonetheless the a10 is an interesting chip, not enough for me to upgrade from my 6s plus tho
 
Well one thing's for sure ... the way Phil emphasized the headphone jack as a single function port suggests we'll see Lightning added to the MacBook possibly next month. That will make a huge difference on the rMB for some. Something else that signals Lightning ports in the Macs is the fact there was no mention of an adapter to plug the Lightning headphones into a 3.5mm jack source -- like the Mac. I'm very curious to see how Apple updates the MFi specs and what kinds of adapters start showing up in the Apple Store.

I'm really hoping that Apple has updated the Lightning charging cable in the box with a passthrough port. They're essentially already doing it on the external battery case, they just need to reduce that down to the end of a cable, and that would go a long way toward satisfying a lot of people. I really hope Apple manages to limit the adapters to a minimum. And I hope they stop including it for free in the 7s just as they stopped including the dock with the original iPhone.
 
Courageous keynote! Few hours for minuscule updates to watch and iPhone. Also new wireless earphones that Apple reinvented the wheel to make. 79.50 per ear! Total steal!

Wait for gen 2 and get a one hour improvement in battery life and find my earpod feature built in.

Most courageous of all was to leave your computer product lines without an update for over a year.

Nobody wants a 4 hour keynote, there will be an entire separate keynote next month for macs.

If you'd like an even better steal for some wireless earbuds grab some here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...9&ksdevice=c&gclid=CMDQ-6WQ_s4CFQQdaQodu9oOtA
 
I like how in the video they dropped a lavalier mic (that they were all using during the event) instead of a regular microphone... :)
