Probably a couple for the masses, the 7s and 7s plus. Perhaps a tenth anniversary iphone. Tech kis are referring to it as the iphone x. We also expect more hardware and updates for apple tv and updated apple watch and operating system updates that a lot of apple people have been waiting for.

Its a nice backdrop. It is. The loop. Very nice. Right here in Silicon Valley. Ten years ago, apple iphone changed our lives in many ways we couldnt imagine. Its very interesting. A lot of people didnt like it. It wasnt popular. Didnt know what to do with it. It was too expensive. They had to lower the price of the first iphone. Not a lot of people would buy it. The first people that bought it were angry because, hey, i paid more. Apple paid them back with itunes gift cards. Here is steve jobs. Take a look. We are calling it iphone. Today today, apple is going to reinvent the phone. Here it is. Steve jobs, of course, starting out with a joke. Ten years, thats why you get the iphone 10 and iphone x. There are few things the iphone did not affect. People stopped buying gps devices, camera sales collapsed and chewing gum sales fell. Why . Because, well you are in line at the grocery store, you can look at your phone, instead of all the candy in the rack next to you. Its not hard to think apple may soon be a trillion dollar company. Wouldnt take much of an increase in stocks for that to happen. Dough gained 260, nasdaq up 72. Apple stock is on both of those. The stock market jumped yesterday because north korea didnt fire a missile and irma wasnt as bad as expected. Apple sinks during the announcement, not rise. Well see today.

The city shot this drone footage showing a long line of cars going through this small residential street, never meant for regional traffic flows.
