The Apple Watch and iPad launch event was typical Apple. Product upgrades that spur purchases, services to threaten multiple rivals and good price points across the portfolio.
The Apple event yesterday September 15th focused on the new Apple Watch 6, iPad Air and new service bundles including Apple TV, Apple Music and a new Fitness service to challenge Peloton's App.
Key fitness items include:
Blood oxygen measurements.
Background health metrics while you sleep.
Partnerships with academic institutions on studies.
Apple announced a new subscription model, Apple One that introduces various levels of service bundling which has already triggered responses from Spotify and other entertainment providers.
I have an Apple watch 3 and after reviewing details and what other reviewers are saying this a.m., I have no intention of upgrading my Apple Watch. I'm waiting on the iPhone 12 with 5G.
Yesterday's event was only a warm-up to spur sales prior to the iPhone 5G introduction which I'm sure will be available before Christmas.
I'm not going to lie though, I will purchase the new iPad Air 4 when available since I have kicked Comcast TV services out of my office and home. I have a great IPTV service which runs on IOS.
Apple surprised iPhone users with a next-day iOS 14 release. App developers are pissed.
