Apple had a slew of new product announcements from the Steve Jobs Theater at the new Apple Campus. The Apple Watch 3 (with LTE), Apple TV 4K, iPhone 8/8+, and iPhone X (with Face ID) were all on the docket. My initial impression is that the new devices are impressive entries/updates to the Apple product lineup, and I think the ability to wirelessly charge the new Apple Watches, iPhones, and AirPods will prove to be very popular (the devices use the Qi wireless charging standard, and Apple will be releasing a new AirPower charging mat next year).
I am interested in the Apple TV 4K because, as a cord cutter, those little hockey-puck-like devices are the lifeblood of our viewing experience. The ability to stream 4K is a long sought-after feature on the unit (and, as a courtesy, Apple will automatically upgrade the HD content you have with them to 4K when available), and the faster processor (an A10X) may mean game content will improve as well.
Stay tuned for more information on Apple's new products on this blog in the coming weeks!
