Apple Event Analysis

Love the new milled aluminum body frame (will it survive my Brother sitting on it while in his back pocket?) and the 3x times more scratch resistant ‘Ceramic Shield 2’ is a plus.
Big Camera Upgrade with 48-megapixels in all 3 cameras, with 8x Optical Zoom! The front camera sensor has 2x the pixels, and is square (Center Stage selfie feature is pretty slick too.)
A19 Pro Chip with 6 CPU and 6 GPU cores (neural engine geared toward SLM’s rather than LLM’s) and 50% increase in RAM.
Battery life much better in the Pro models, especially the Max (39 hours vs. 33 hours). Apple used the space occupied by the physical SIMM card for a bigger battery.
Quick charging 50% charge in 20 minutes, with Qi2 support.
Elimination of the 128-gigabyte storage tier (256 is the new ‘minimum’, and more than enough for most people.)
iPhone Air looks amazing, great if you don’t use a case or need the slick 3-lens camera (most people just post photos on social media.) The 27 hour battery life should be adequate for many too.
Wonder if the Air is the prelude to the anticipated iPhone Fold (two ‘Airs’ with a hinge!)
Hypertension feature on the Apple Watch finally here (and works on some older versions.)
Satellite connectivity for outdoor trekkers (can you leave your iPhone home?)
Apple Watch SE upgraded and only $249
AirPods Pro 3 may be my favorite update, especially the translate feature and improved noise cancellation.
