[NATL] 40 Years of Apple: A Look Back at Apple Product Evolution

11:35 a.m.

Now, the iPhone 11 "Pro."

This is the loaded one.

Lots of camera features.

Longer-lasting battery.

It will come in green, gray, silver and gold.

Also, cases that let the three lenses fit.

They start at $999 ... go to $1,099.

Pre-orders starting Friday, 5 a.m. PST.

Shipping starts September 20.

11:09 a.m.

The iPhone 11 will start at $699.

11:05 a.m.

More on 11 ...

Longer battery life.

Ability to take slow-motion selfies ... and yes, they call them "slofies."

(Stop trying to make "slofies" happen)…

11 a.m.

iPhone 11.

6.1 inch display.

6 different colors.

Updated camera (dual camera)…with ultra-wide setting, and night mode; yes Google already has this, but Apple will put this in a lot more hands.

The pics and videos look nice.

10:48 a.m.

Now, getting into the iPhone update.

Stay tuned.

10:45 a.m.

Apple Watch update:

Always on mode.

Built in compass.

Ways to alert deaf people (I remember meeting NyleDiMarco at an Apple event and this came up).

Prices dropping, too. As low as $200 (not the Hermes version, though...).

10:28 a.m.

Now onto the new iPad (I tweeted out a pic):

10.2 inches ...

Lots of features, including Apple Arcade and, if you’re inclined, the Apple Pen.

Weighs about a pound.

100% recycled aluminum.

7th generation iPad.

Cost: $329 to start.

10:20 a.m.

OK, here goes:

Apple TV: $4.99/month

Launches November 1.

Buy a new iPhone? Get a year free ...

10:16 a.m.

Funny to say this, but I think people are more interested in what Apple’s Disney/Netflix competitor will cost per month.

Sure enough, CEO Tim Cook is now talking about the streaming service.

Showing more previews now ...

Waiting for the cost ...

10:13 a.m.

Alright ... Apple Arcade will be available September 19.

Cost: $4.99/month.

Not sure how that stacks up for game fans ... but, they can start with a one month free trial.

10:08 a.m.

Apple kicks thing off not with updates, but with games.

Apple Arcade is the company’s mobile gaming subscription system.

We’ve been waiting for details – and pricing – about this.

Frogger, ToyTown, etc ... this is a little strange; Apple starting by going waaaaay back.

Anyway, 100 new games in all.

9:51 a.m.

Just filed into the Steve Jobs Theatre with the (ever growing) number of global press types to cover the latest Apple Event.

Today, we expect a new iPhone (in time for Holiday shopping, of course), but this is likely going to be the first event where the phone takes a back seat.

Expect a lot about services, especially Apple +, to talk up its new shows – and to find out how much the monthly fee will be.

When they make that announcement, watch Netflix stock (NFLX) for reaction.

We’ll continue the live updates on Twitter, too (@scottbudman).
