Apple on Tuesday announced a bunch of new hardware and some software. Here are the biggest announcements:
It also said that iOS 14, its new iPhone software, will launch on Wednesday with lots of new features such as widgets, a new way to organize your home screen, security enhancements and more.
- Apple Watch Series 6
- The Apple Watch SE
- The new 8th-generation iPad
- The new iPad Air
- Fitness+ workout services
- Apple One service bundles
Of note: Apple did not announce new iPhones. Those are expected at a future launch, perhaps next month.
...
Apple has announced its long-rumored services bundle, Apple One. It comes in three tiers with different services in each tier:
Individual: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and iCloud storage, at $14.95 a month.
Family: The same services for up to five family members, at $19.95 a month.
Premier: The same services plus Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, announced today, for $29.95 a month.

Re: Apple Event 09/15/2020
Still no interest in an Apple watch and my hand-me-down iPhone 7 Plus is still perfectly adequate.
We have a free year of AppleTV thanks to the wife's iphone purchase earlier this year. We enjoyed For All Mankind but haven't returned since finishing that series. I have absolutely no interest in paying for it and certainly won't pony up for Apple One.

Re: Apple Event 09/15/2020
unchanged from last time. say what one will about Apple (and there is a lot to say...) but my 5S still gets security updates, seven years from launch. seems unlikely Google will do that, ever.iOS 14 is compatible with these devices.

Re: Apple Event 09/15/2020
I bitch about this regularly, and get bitched at when I tell our users that I can't let them use email on their Android devices any longer because the carrier's refuse to update their devices. It's terrible. I have test devices that stopped getting updates only 2 years after purchase.hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:02 pmunchanged from last time. say what one will about Apple (and there is a lot to say...) but my 5S still gets security updates, seven years from launch. seems unlikely Google will do that, ever.iOS 14 is compatible with these devices.

Re: Apple Event 09/15/2020
Yeah, two years is typically the case for Android phones. The Pixel series does get updates for 3 years, at least.hentzau wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:21 pmI bitch about this regularly, and get bitched at when I tell our users that I can't let them use email on their Android devices any longer because the carrier's refuse to update their devices.

I'm at almost 3.5 years on my two Samsung S8+ phones (one personal, one work).
That's my purse! I don't know you!

Aside from blue tinted items, this was a pretty dull event.
OK, I admit I had a mild nerdgasm during the unveiling of the A14 processor but that was about it. I'm surprised they didn't have the new iPad Air ready to purchase, maybe there's a delay with those processors in general, or they are being saved for the new iPhones.

Re: Apple Event 09/15/2020
Still getting updates? I'm impressed. Any non-Pixel Android phone I ever owned before this one (Motorola Droid series, and then a couple of LG G#'s) definitely stopped getting updates after 2 years.

Yep. They get them at different times, but usually within a week or two of each other.
