On Monday, Apple held its long-awaited September event. In an unusual move for Apple, the event didn’t take place on a Tuesday. The upcoming presidential debate, among other factors, prompted the company to change the date.
In any case, the main focus of the day was Apple’s new smartphone, which the company announced alongside the updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods. During the event, we also learned more about Apple Intelligence, the tech giant’s ambitious commitment to artificial intelligence.
Below is a list of all the products Apple presented on Monday.
