“September 9 was a massive day for Apple. As I sat in the audience watching Tim Cook and Phil Schiller launching product after product, it struck me that Apple had really focused on the details with all of its latest releases—both software and hardware,” Jim Dalrymple writes for The Loop. “That’s important for Apple because I believe that’s where one of the company’s main competitive advantages lies.”
MacDailyNews Take: It’s also important when you want to listen to your Ozzy tunes.
“When I started thinking about the keynote announcements and talking to people about the products, I noticed that many were taking the announcements as separate, individual releases. You can certainly do that, but with Apple, it’s the entirety of the ecosystem, and therefore the announcements, that make the difference,” Dalrymple writes. “Each product on its own is impressive, but when put together, the enormity of what Apple released is truly stunning.”
“Perhaps one of the greatest new features of the iPhone is 3D Touch. I say that because I see this as a new way to navigate iPhone. We look to Apple for clarity in the user interface. What they did with 3D Touch is save us time when doing simple tasks on iPhone,” Dalrymple writes. “I will be the first one to buy Apple TV because the experience is going to be so much better. Apple once again solved a navigation problem that I welcome with open arms.”

MacDailyNews Take: 3D Touch is an amazing advancement. Apple TV is clearly waiting for its content subscription component to be unveiled, but it certainly offers enough as is. We’ll be fighting Jim (and millions of others) to get the first Apple TV units. Hopefully, unlike with Apple Watch, Apple made enough units for launch.
