All of the fancy cool countdown this week and all the marketing and anticipation, without a new iPhone announcement? Something is wrong, I wonder if they dropped the iPhone announcement at the last minute?
Got a tip for us?

Only if someone cares enough about Apple's digital life. Which, most people outside of the US totally don't.
What a dud announcement time...... Gotta keep the cash coming.
They wasted time with health and fitness info.....

I still don’t get the marketing behind calling something Apple One and then offering 3 different options. So it’s not Apple One it’s Apple Three.
The series 4+ only watch faces (infograph) are worth the upgrade alone honestly. I use mine all the time for glanceable info at work and at home. The fact that it's a lot faster than the 3 and has a much nicer display is extra. Upgrade, you won't regret it.
It's all exactly what Steve was talking about when he was roasting companies run by marketing and not product people..
Airpods that are disposable as well. Straight to the landfill.
Excited we get the new iOS tomorrow, best surprise of the event.
Apple One actually seems like a good bargain. Clearly intended to draw interest to the services that nobody cares about (arcade, news) but as somebody who pays for music and iCloud already it is worth considering.
If you don’t Watch you don’t know ... so,where’s your argument?
Oh but that’s the sad part. This is VERY much the Apple of today.
Yikes, that was pretty disappointing.
Apple Watch Series 6: Not really a worthy upgrade unless you're on a Series 3 or older. Maybe the SE will appeal to some.
Services: Not available yet, but also nothing really groundbreaking here (IMO). I also don't really use Apple Services beyond iCloud so maybe I'm in the minority.
iPad: A spec bump (only improvement is A12 from A10) that didn't deserve an event.
iPad Air: Looks great, but considering it doesn't ship soon, not sure why they discussed it today.
iPhones: Obviously not even mentioned.
Macs: Nothing.
It seems they could have just done a press release for the Apple Watch and updated iPad. The Services and iPad Air should have been announced later this fall with the iPhones and Macs.

considering you can buy a pulse ox finger reader for 20 bucks on amazon....but apple treating this like the next coming of slice bread. When they were talking about diabetes i thought they managed to included prickless glucose measuring.....nope
If you have pulmonary issues like I do it's a flat out no brainer. Plus, I could use the always on display when timing things. It's annoying that the display goes off when I'm watching the hand move. I like that they added an always on altimeter. We hike in CO (where we live) and the kids are ALWAYS asking how much elevation we've gained. I use Altimeter+ for that now but having it at a split second would be nice.But is it worth the upgrade from an AW4? Not sure
So no ProMotion on the iPad Air and starting at 64GB? Good god that's lame.
