Pre-Apple Event

 Today marks Apples long anticipated September event. With the leaks and rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone 14, Airpod Pro 2, Apple Watch Series 8 I think this will be an interesting event to watch. 

Thanks to a lot of the pre release leaks it will unfortunately be another year of the lightning connector on the iPhone which is really a shame, but hopefully we will see that corrected as more and more of Apple's devices are moving to the USB-C connector already standard on Android devices, the iPad Pro line up, and all Macbooks. 

I think this is a miss in my opinion as many users (myself included) are getting tired of carrying around a lightning cable for their phone and airpods, an apple watch charger, and now a USB cable for their macbooks and iPads. The movement to USB-C would be a big step in cutting down cable clutter and improving data transfer speeds when transferring large files to and from iPhones. 

This will definitely be an interesting event beyond the hardware as we look at IOS 16. 

With all of the new features and the redesigned UI introduced in Androids 12 and 13, IOS definitely needs to bring stability, customization, and some nice quality of life features to keep users interested. 

The after show recap will post later today. In the mean time you can watch the event on apple.com
