Summary

Our anchors start off the morning on the wins and losses from Apple’s “California Streaming” event yesterday. Wall Street Journal Tech Columnist Joanna Stern and Bank of America Analyst Wamsi Mohan join to further discuss the new product announcements and what they mean for the stock. We also have Wall Street Journal Reporter Jeff Horwitz to speak about his recent article based on internal documents out of Facebook showing there is a group of secret elite users who are excused from standard content moderation rules. Horwitz also shares his thoughts on a second report detailing how Facebook downplayed its knowledge that Instagram is toxic for teen girls. Later, we return to Apple with Daring Fireball Blogger John Gruber who talks the company’s strategy after its event yesterday. Then, we have CNBC’s Morgan Brennan live from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida ahead of SpaceX’s all-civilian flight launch today. Plus, to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we hear from HP Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri on how he brings his heritage to table and works to ensure diversity and inclusion is built at every level. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

0:00.0	I'm Carl Kintanilla. You're listening to CNBC's Tech Check. Our show is live weekdays at 11 a.m. Welcome to Tech Check. I'm Carl Kintania with John Fort and Julia
0:28.6	Borsten. Today, California daydreaming, what exactly did we learn from Apple's highly anticipated
0:34.5	product event? Then Microsoft announces that massive dividend hike, how that compares to its other big tech
0:40.7	payers and how to play it.
0:42.3	Later on, a major milestone for Elon Musk and SpaceX, as Morgan was just saying, she's
0:47.3	live at the Kennedy Space Center this hour.
0:50.0	Julia.
0:52.3	And let's start with Apple as investors continue to digest its product announcements.
0:58.5	The headliner was the iPhone 13 with an improved battery display, a new iPad with
1:03.9	faster processing speeds, an ultra-wide front-facing camera, along with a new range of
1:08.9	Apple fitness features with the Apple Watch Series 7.
1:13.0	No word on new MacBooks, AirPods, or new Apple TV. Investors seem to be weighing how these
1:18.7	products announcements could be playing out. The stock is under some pressure this morning,
1:23.7	follow the announcements, and again, it's now down about 0.6%. So, John, how meaningful is it

1:36.2	there are probably a lot of investors who maybe aren't zeroed in on the most important things
1:41.5	about this announcement. And I would focus really on the iPhone.
1:46.1	And really, this is the first time I think that the iPhone 13, the pro and the pro
1:51.8	max, really separate themselves.
1:54.0	Carl, partly with that one terabyte storage option, partly with some of those camera
1:58.8	features, particularly, they've all got rack focused,
