Man, these production values are so slick. There's no way they ever go back to live conferences, is there?

They just keep adding sensor functionality to this thing. Is there any other watch/consumer health wearable device remotely as sophisticated?

Holy shit, this is huge depending on pricing. Smartwatches for kids are garbage, but this could be a game changer.

the series 6 is nice, the blood oxygen sensor is really helpful, but i'm still content with my 4. i probably won't upgrade my watch until the watch itself can do things like stream podcasts/music without the need for the phone to be in bluetooth range. i do like the new bands though, i might pick one up.

Damn... going to be a lot of families getting that SE for kids. I might be picking up a few myself.

Series 3 for peasants, SE for kids.

i can understand not doing it for the phones, because those chargers are everywhere, but it seems like with the watch that's a required accessory. did i miss something? are they only excluding the brick or just the wireless charging cable?

I figured the Apple Watch SE was going to be replacing the 3, but the 3 is actually staying around at the same price it was already at. Not even a price drop, that's kinda dated. But the SE is decently cheaper than the 6 with most of the features you'd want.

they called it a service. i wonder how much it's going to cost?

Bet they'll close it out with Apple One bundles

I might pick up the $199 watch but I'm not giving them a monthly fee for anything.

Yeah i already pay 15 bucks for Apple Music why not an extra few bucks to get the rest.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
As someone who pays for Spotify and Apple TV Plus, I feel like I should give it a look as I could pay the same and get more. I like the price but I am not going to switch to Apple for my daily driver. Can anyone comment on Apple music for Android?

great demo, really shows off how game changing eletronic pencils are. my laptop came with one and writing helps me commit things to memory much better than typing
I worked on the processor for this year's watch!

We already subscribe to Apple Music family plan and 2TB iCloud. Definitely getting Premier once it comes out.

Yes! This better mean Touch ID is back in iPhones, too. I can finally upgrade from my 7 Plus.

5nm?! Wow.
Yeah, News+ would be a decent perk for the WSJ and some magazines that I wouldn't normally pay for.

Makes me wonder if future processor wars will be Apple vs Nvidia rather than Intel vs AMD.
