Mike.

Was Tuesday's Apple event everything you ever wanted?

In what way?

USBC. You finally got a USBC iPhone.

You know, it's a low bar when your life is that affected by a charging standard.

But yes, life has already changed, and I can tell you how.

And that was not even the most interesting part of Tuesday's Apple event.

I cannot wait to hear more. I bet you can't, Mr. Pixel. Whatever. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Gadget Lab. I am Michael Colori. I'm a senior editor at Wired.

And I'm Lauren Good. I'm a senior writer at Wired. We're also joined this week by Wired Review's editors Adrian Soe sitting over here right next to me.

Hey guys. And Julian Chokatu sitting over here on the other side. Hello, hello.

Yes. Things have already gone off the rails in studio here. We just have to let you all know, but you're not going to hear that part of the podcast. That's right. That's right. We've been chatting. Testing the microphones. Telling people what we had for breakfast. Well, we are all here in the studio together because this week, the three of you went down to Cooperupertino, California for Apple's big September event.

As it is done every year for more than a decade, Apple announced new iPhones.

There were also new Apple watches and some new software features to go along with the new products.

And as we've talked about on the show before, a lot of these updates can feel kind of samey

with iterative feature enhancements coming

out every year.

Sammy.

I like that word.

Next time I put that in a wired article, I expect you will not edit it out.

Oh, never.
