Me too. I may update my moms Apple Watch since lately she's been concerned with her heart rate.

They seem to be moving quicker than usual....no annoying stats and self masturbation at the beginning and just right to products. I wonder how much they are announcing today.

I don't know if there's enough changes from X to XS to justify an upgrade

I want the iPhone XMAS

I use a lightning camera adapter and then plug in a portable DAC to power my in ear monitors so the non-existent headphone jack isn't a problem for me 
I spent enough on the DACs and the headphones, I could have just gotten a set of Bluetooth noise cancelling cans for flights, but oh well.
A wire definitely is not as bad as requiring an adapter or two, or choosing to listen/charge but not simultaneously.

eSIM.
so useful for traveling.
my phone got a bit messed up when I popped in a SIM card from Japan and Vietnam last year.
also couldn't authenticate the WhatsApp app since it sent a text to my regular phone number

I'd rather support Apple, but I can't deal with the UI after being Andoid for so long.... same thing goes with being sucked into their universe of stuff.... I'm all Google/Samsung now. I feel like you need to pick one and all your toys play together much better that way.

With Apple giveback, I wonder how much they'd give me for my iPhone 6 Plus
it really needs a new battery. I charge it to 100% then just let it sit there for the day. I come back at night and it's at 60%.

They didn't announce the new Airpods but the girl running in the intro video was wearing them. She used "Hey Siri" which the current Airpods don't support

Apple Watch Edition didn't make sense, it's so expensive but still gets outdated just as fast as the cheaper models.
