Huh, no announcements about the Mac Mini. The rumors were … inaccurate? I am clutching my PEARLS.

New MagSafe cases, including a cool clear one—and yes, there's a little hole for the Camera Control button on the new cases.

The packaging for the phones is now 100 percent fiber based, and it's also slimmer. Not that this matters, since I will still be keeping all the boxes in my closet for minimum 10 years anyway.

A looong part of today's show has been dedicated to demos of the photo, video, and audio capabilities on the Pro model. Apple is working hard to disrupt the traditional tools pros are using.

I am starting to get jealous of everyone who is watching at home and can grab some peanuts or a hard boiled egg during this presentation.

We just passed the 90-minute mark. This is one of the longer Apple launch presentations in recent memory.

The phone can record spatial audio! There's a new Audio Mix feature that's powered by machine learning to separate background sound and pick from different voice options! You can record sound as in a professional studio, but on your phone!

One nitpick about slow-mo videos — which I toyed with a lot when it first became a feature on the iPhone — is that the file format just doesn't transfer well. Years of iCloud migrations later, those slow-mo videos I shot back then are now just low-res and not slow-mo.

Kind of insane that phones can now record 4K video at 120 frames per second. PHONES!

Clearly one of our friends in that promo segment has seen John Woo films and the other one hasn't. You always walk in slow motion with balls of fire at your back.
