Sigh...so for the past year about the only thing new has been Apple Watch bands...is this what Apple has been reduced too...


Yup. Oh and off the top of my head in about the last year:

- A new line of iPads in 2 sizes with the addition of highly regarded stylus. This product has made the biggest change to my working life in the last 5 years (completely ditched paper - all notes now taken digitally).
- New True Tone display - massive difference when using iPad outdoors (hope this tech filters to other iOS devices).
- The A9 and A9X: designed in house, well regarded performance.
- iPhone with 3D Touch - something else which has made working life quicker (can get through dozens of emails in a much smaller amount of time).
- Research Kit: fingers crossed this leads to some good.
- A completely new MacBook line (Retina 2015), introduces several firsts for Apple - USB-C, new Butterfly mechanism keyboard, fanless, custom shaped battery, individual LED backlit keys (as opposed to an array previously), Force Touch trackpad.
- The 2105 MacBook (Retina) has also just received an internal upgrade with some decent performance boosts.
- Expanded Transit directions in Maps to new cities.
- A new Apple TV with a much requested App Store.
- Roll-out of Apple Pay to new countries.
- Released 2 operating system updates (OS X 10.11, iOS 9) and 2 new Operating systems (watchOS and tvOS).

But yeah apart form them things and lots of others I've missed "they've been reduced to watch bands".
