The Apple Event 2016 gave us so many things:

Apple isn’t abandoning small iPhones just yet. The company just debuted the iPhone SE, a new 4-inch device with a design that largely resembles the iPhone 5S.

iPad Air 2 will be getting a price drop and start at $399 for the 16GB model, instead of the prior price of $499. The drop follows the reveal of the new, smaller iPad Pro.

New version of tvOS, which is available now. The updated Apple TV software adds new voice search, dictation and support for Apple’s Live Photos.

When the Apple Watch first launched a year ago, Apple made a big point of presenting the device as a fashion accessory. On Monday, the company doubled down on that initiative by releasing a series of new bands that offer more options for the style conscious.

Expansion on ResearchKit called CareKit that focuses on the health and care of users. ResearchKit is an app for iPhone that allows people to easily participate in medical research used by doctors and researchers in several fields.

In addition to announcing a new iPhone and iPad Pro, Apple on Monday announced an availability date for iOS 9.3. It will be available later Monday. (READ MORE HERE) 

The Apple TV update looks pretty great although I ditched mine for Chromecast long ago this update could have me back in. iPad Pro 9.7 inch does interest me. The pencil looks awesome.  The new 4″  iPhone seems a bit like the iPhone 5 but much faster with updated software etc. Lots to go over but nothing that felt like I had to have it right now like many Apple Events past. Perhaps the next update in the Fall will have the iPhone 7 with an endless battery powered by the sun or magical rainbows. – @marconibologna
