One Tuesday in September each year, I follow Apple's news event live, and yesterday was no different. Usually, I follow the CNET live blog, but this year was Apple's first ever live-stream of the event. One of the big takeaways is that Apple is getting into health and fitness - a smart move considering the success that many fitness and activity tracking apps, like RunKeeper have already experience on Apple’s own platform. Then, there is the Apple Watch, which is Apple's take on wearable devices. Lastly, Apple gets in on the already fragmented mobile payments space, but there are major obstacles for it to overcome there.
A key theme is that Apple is taking experiences that already exist on other apps and devices and making them into a native Apple experience. Apple's strength has always been its ability to control the user experience. Here's my take on Apple's main highlights.
