Apple Fall Event Recap -

Another year, another Apple conference. Today was Apple’s big day and they covered a lot. Without further delay, here is a recap of their event today.

Apple opened with speaking about how eco-friendly the products are.
Shigeru Miyamoto (beloved Video Game Developer from Nintendo) Hits the stage and speaks about the partnership between Apple and Nintendo.
Miyamoto announces Super Mario Run for Apple Products scheduled to come out later this year. This is one of many games that will be coming out for Apple Products.
Up next, we are told about iWork which is receiving a huge update. The update entails of Real-Time Collaboration with others. This is similar to Google Docs.
Following this, Apple being speaking about their Apple Watch. It was the 2nd watch rated worldwide behind Rolex.
The Apple Watch 2 was announced.
Apple Watch 2, officially titled Apple Watch Series 2, is priced at $369. Apple Watch, now renamed as Apple Watch Series 1, is $269. Below are the specs.
- Dual Core Processor (the new editions of the series 1 models will come with this when they release)
- At least double the screen brightness
- Water Resistant for at most 50 Meters
  - This is cool because if water gets into the speaker, you simply press a button and the watch ejects the water from the watch
- Built-in GPS
  - This works for the new 911 function as well
  - No more reliance on the iPhone pairing
- Ships with watchOS 3
Battery life (later confirmed by others outside of the conference) is similar to the that of the Apple Watch 1
Pokemon Go was also confirmed to come to the Apple Watch. It will be “shipped” later this year.
