1.5 hour just to re-announce Arcade/TV+, and give a small spec bump to iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone. What a waste of time. The only real new feature the iPhone got was Night Mode which is an exact copy of the computational stuff Pixel does with Night Sight, from their description.

They didn't mention any spec bump for the watch.

Are you kidding, the display is always on. That was the biggest announcement of the day IMO.

Yep, and that's the feature I'd turn off right away. Well, I guess no upgrade for me this year from S3.

You are assuming Apple will let you turn it off :)

The ONE thing that was worse about Apple Watch compared to normal watches is fixed, and this guy wants to turn it off.

There's a new Apple Watch.

The apple equivalent of 'meeting that should have been an email'.

They could have just merged all the videos together into one long show. The canned scripts were just getting boring.

And, really, you lead off with a Frogger game?

My company with low 5-digit users hosts an hour-long monthly webinar about product updates. The iPhone is one of the most popular consumer items in the world, I think it’s reasonable for Apple to spend 1.5 hours/year talking about what’s changing

I was hoping for Tile-like trackers. I wonder if they'll show up later this fall in a different event. Would make sense to put it close to the holiday shopping season. Still, would have liked to have seen them today...

The specs page for the new phone mentions "Ultra Wideband chip for spatial awareness" so it's sure to come

Good catch. Which phones have this chip?

It appears just the iPhone 11 and 11 pros.

Im curious what the sensors are used for. They describe it as “GPS at the scale of your room” which sounds pretty ambitious.
