This iPhone performs at the same capability as the iPhone 6S. Having an A9 chip inside, allows for better performance as well as hands-free “Hey Siri” features. The iPhones camera has been updated as well. Now, it can capture 4K videos and perform the same “Live Photo” tricks that the iPhone 6S has.

Smaller iPad Pro
This new iPad is 9.7 inches, the same size as the regular iPad and iPad Air. This iPad is targeted more towards professional users because it can support Apple Pencil. This feature tries to mimic paper by having little to no reflection and showing the best possible colors. This can help any artist or designer.
Price: $600 for the 32GB, $750 for the 128GB, and $900 for the 256 GB
Apple Watch
Same watch different year. The only difference this time is that it has new colorful bands and it has nylon. Sorry Apple Watch fanatics no updates here. But there is good news: the price for the watch has actually dropped!
Price: $299
Apple Liam
This one, unfortunately, customers cannot buy. Apple Liam is a robot arm that is going to be used at warehouses. The robot’s job will be to take apart iPhones and remove all the important and toxic parts for recycling. Apple removing wasteful chips one iPhone at a time.
