Apple
New iPhones
There are two new models, the [iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/iphone-7-camera-colors-less-headphone-jack/). They both [look very much like the last iPhones](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/fine-iphone-looks-fact-better/), but they're faster and water-resistant. They go on sale September 9 for $649 and $769. The storage gets a bump, so now the lowest-priced configuration will come with 32GB. Also, new colors: Space gray is gone, but there are two types of black (matte and glossy) along with gold and rose gold.
Apple
Goodbye, Headphone Jack
In a move that's sure to cause great controversy, Apple has ditched the analog headphone jack. iPhones will now ship with earbuds with a Lightning connector at the end, and Apple is encouraging users to begin the switch to wireless headphones. It will be painful, but wireless [is certainly the future](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/switching-wireless-headphones-13-great-options/).

Apple
AirPods
If you're going wireless, Apple has an accessory for you. AirPods are wireless versions of the EarPods that will be in the iPhone's box. You can get over 5 hours of listening per charge, and the AirPods have accelerometers so they know when you put them in or when you're talking. They'll cost $159, and yeah you'll probably lose them super quick so that's gonna sting.
Apple
Two Lenses are Better Than One
The iPhone 7 Plus (and only the Plus) has a dual-camera design. On the back, there's a f/1.8 wide-angle lens as well as a 56mm telephoto lens. This lets you take photos with much greater depth-of-field and gives you a 2x optical zoom

Apple
iOS 10 Arriving September 13
Any new iPhone you buy this month is going to ship with Apple's latest mobile operating system. But you can also [upgrade your current iOS devices](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/ios-release-date-september-16/) beginning on Tuesday, September 13.
Apple
New Apple Watch
The [Apple Watch Series 2](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/apple-watch-2-gps/) is an all-around update to Apple's tiny, wrist-worn computer. It's waterproof and can track your swim workouts. It has GPS and can track your runs. It has a faster processor, a brighter screen, and it comes in a cool new material: [ceramic](https://www.wired.com/2016/09/apples-new-high-end-watch-crazy-tough-ceramics-baby/). (No mention of improved battery life, hrm.) It'll cost you $369 when it goes on sale next week. There's also a green and sporty Nike+ edition available in October.

Apple
WatchOS 3 Coming September 13
All of the new software features on the new [Apple Watch Series 2](http://www.wired.com/2016/09/apple-watch-2-gps/) will be rolling out to Series 1 owners on Tuesday, September 13. You get the new dock, new features for fitness apps, a more responsive interface, the new Breathe app, and (yep!) *Pokemon Go*.
Apple
Apple Pay Updates
Back in June at WWDC, we heard Apple Pay would be coming to websites. That curiously wasn't announced today, so we may have to wait a bit for that. But what was announced is that Apple Pay is coming to Japan. *Ohayo gozaimasu*, Apple Pay.

Nintendo
Mario Lands on iOS
Near the beginning of the event, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage to announce the videogame giant will start releasing titles in the App Store. The first, *Super Mario Run*, will arrive before the end of the year. For the superfans, there's also a new set of Mario stickers for iMessage.
Apple
Real-time Collaboration in iWork
When working in Keynote, Pages, or Numbers, users can share a document and edit alongside each other. Just like Google Docs! (No really, just like Google Docs.)
