Ordered series 6 right after the keynote. Air 4 is very cool but I'm a 12" pro user so will wait till that gets updated. I also thought the Fitness+ service looked really good and the combined Apple One service as I already pay for Music and iCloud drive so the new plan would give me TV+ and arcade for only a few dollars more.

The air 4 hits a nice sweet spot as pretty much a pro-lite- Esp now that it uses USB-C

No new Apple TV.  I'd been holding off upgrading to a 4K, thinking there might be a new model about now.

I'm thinking they may have more in store for the iPhone event unless they are going to just do a short 1-hour keynote again like today. The added the U1 ultrawideband chip to the watch so maybe airtags?

Yep, the new lineup looks like a relatively good upgrade cycle.

Air 4 is a good upgrade for the Air 2's the wife and I have. They're getting a bit laggy and we use them all the time now.

Watch Series 6 is interesting. Currently have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and while a great watch, as the eyes are getting older its harder to focus (perhaps the Watch SE instead??)

Apple One service will be interesting as we already do Family Music and iCloud Drive for 5 users. Just an extra $4 per month.....for a couple of things I'll hardly use:-)

Slightly off topic but rumour has it Garmin are about to drop a new watch in the Vivoactive family shortly - https://the5krunner.com/2020/09/12/garmin-venu-sq-first-images-first-thoughts/

The Watch SE is a good gateway into the Apple Watch cycle. 

Basically an upgraded S4 or downgraded S5. I have a S4, so will probably look to move to S6, but didn't see the need for a S5 at the time - pricing is still on par with what it was previously, so I'm not too shocked in either direction (excitement or disappointment). 

The Air 4 is the kicker for me...I don't need most of what a Pro offers, but have an Air 3, which could potentially get sold off to help fund a new Air 4, as I prefer the form factor, but don't need LIDAR and flash etc for camera usage (barely use the back camera on my iPad). No Face ID is interesting, but the fingerprint scanner in the on/off button will be an unusual one for me, as I have never had a product with that feature before...

The iPad Air looks pretty cool but not much use for me as I can't justify owning an iPad as well as a Macbook Pro and iPhone. The watch doesn't interest me either as I prefer Garmin.

It's interesting that they didn't announce any new audio products. For a while now there have been rumours of Apple branded over-ear headphones, and a budget version of the Homepod. And still, Homepod isn't available in NZ.

I suspect they are going to announce another event any moment now branded "but wait there is more!"

I like the look of AppleOne, feels like they are going after Spotify with using Bundling that undercuts Spotify Premium, any idea if the 200 gig of iCloud is shared or if each share gets their own 200 gig?

The iPad Air in the new green colour is very sexy. My iPad Pro 9.7 is still going strong so can’t really justify an upgrade. 

Watch SE is interesting. No ECG which the series 4 has. But a good price point as a starting point into the fitness ecosystem.

I was looking forward to the Apple One product but the New Zealand version of this is different to the US one.  We only get two plans (no Premier option) which means no Fitness+, News+ or 2Tb option for NZ.

The 200 gig is shared.

I'm keeping an eye out for an updated Apple TV as well.

Not sure exactly what a new model is going to bring to the party, though.

A faster chip would be nice for gaming/Apple Arcade but it'll still be casual gaming spec compared to the soon-to-be last gen PS4/Xbox One.

There's supposed to be an updated Homepod coming as well. So maybe enough for a smart home event?

i guess that’s because Apple News isn’t available here. Fitness + is $17.99 per month with a free trial. Will be keen to give it a go but I doubt I’ll continue with it. Would make sense if we could design custom bundles. 
iCloud, music and tv would be all I need.
