Each September, smartphone users all over the world (basically everyone) wait in anticipation as Apple releases new models of the iPhone and other products. This year, Apple users were treated to an abundance of new products with the unveiling of three phones, a watch, and streaming video system.
Not only did the launch day mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone (has it really been that long?), but it was the first event held the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park, a 175-acre mega office in Cupertino, CA. While the event was exclusive to media, employees, and some lucky consumers, the public was able to watch the event live on Apple’s website.
