Apple iPhone event: News, updates and analysis from the announcement

When Apple introduced its AirPods on Wednesday, the company went on and on about the new Apple-made chip on the inside, but said little about the technology that delivers the sound to the wireless earbuds from the iPhone.

It turns out Apple isn’t using some Bluetooth-like wireless technology, as rumors suggested, but rather Bluetooth itself.

Today, Apple made your headphones obsolete, updated its Apple Watch with GPS and water resistance, brought Mario to the App Store and showcased its new iPhone 7 with a dual camera and dust-proof exterior.

While it took them over two hours to unveil all of that, we cut the announcement down to about two minutes so you can get the highlights.

Mario is coming to the iPhone.

Among the long list of updates and new products Apple unveiled Wednesday at its big iPhone event in San Francisco was a throwback: Nintendo is releasing a new mobile game as part of its flagship gaming franchise, Mario, called Super Mario Run.

It’s not surprise to anyone who’s been watching closely: Apple ditched the headphone jack in its newest iPhone.

Its replacement? New, dangling wireless earbuds called AirPods that come with the new iPhone 7. One of the first features Apple announced for the new product hints at Apple’s broader ambitions: Devices that are seamlessly tied to artificial intelligence software — a personalized robot in your phone.

Apple’s new wireless AirPods cost $159. But if you want to spend more on wireless headphones from Apple, you can do that, too.

Apple’s Beats headphone business — the one it bought for $3 billion a couple of years ago — has a new product line built with Apple’s iPhones in mind.

Apple just unveiled the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at an event in San Francisco. Some big changes, but no major surprises:

It has a better camera, including more color capabilities and better zoom. And the larger iPhone 7 Plus has a dual-lens system that makes nicer portraits with fancy-looking background blur.

At its fall product event in San Francisco Wednesday, Apple announced a new Apple Watch — but it’s also continuing to update the operating system that all its watches will run on.

The updates, first previewed at WWDC earlier this year, include the ability to more quickly launch apps and switch among different watch faces. Apple also says the watch’s messaging features will be “more expressive,” with the ability to scribble replies directly onto the watch.

Apple’s new iPhone 7, which goes on sale September 16, will have new cameras. It will be water-resistant. It will have stereo speakers. And it will have a longer batter life.

Apple hasn’t said any of this onstage at its keynote yet, but Apple already announced those details via its Twitter account.

It’s not really a leak. But it’s still worth noting: As Gizmodo pointed out, Amazon is already selling iPhone 7 cases, even though Apple has yet to actually show off the iPhone 7 — or even confirm that it’s calling it the iPhone 7.

Head over to this link, and you’ll find a variety of vendors selling cases of the “iPhone 7” and the “iPhone 7+”.

Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone, Apple Watch and possibly other gadgets at an event today (Sept. 7) in San Francisco.

The “keynote” begins at 10 am PT, 1 pm ET. (That’s 6 pm in London and 1 am Thursday in Hong Kong.) Recode will be in attendance and will cover the event live here. Other live coverage options include The Verge and Six Colors.
