Over night, the mother of all iPhone 12 Event rumor drops happened. We’re talking features, release dates, and accessories, including the return of MagSafe — yes, MagSafe! — but in a totally new way. Also, HomePod Mini, and what’s happening with AirPods Studio, the over-the-ear headset, and AirTags, the Find My for everything.

And I’m going to analyze all of it for you — and right now!

Apple has announced the October — yes, October! — iPhone 12 Event and, as always, there’s a lot of confusion and a lot of questions surrounding not just the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, but AirTags, AirPods Studio, HomePod mini, and everything else that might or might not happen at the event.

So, let’s dig into it!

Apple’s just announced that their Health Records feature, which has been scaling up rapidly in the U.S., is now coming to Canada and the U.K. as well. That means, once your medical center adds support, you'll be able to connect to your records and sync them to your iPhone. That way, you have access to them any time, from anywhere. 

I had the chance to chat briefly with Kevin Lynch, Apple’s VP of software about it, and just had to interrupt my previously scheduled programming and make this quick video sharing some thoughts. Because I love tech and I especially love tech that uses strong privacy and security features but also connects us and makes our lives better. And that’s exactly what Health Records does.

Here's how!

iPhone 12 Event Official! But first, lower your monthly phone bill and get a $25 credit at https://rene.ting.com

Finally. Finally! The invitations have gone out. The website is live. The YouTube stream is ready. And the 2020 iPhone event is on.

But… since it’s 2020, it can’t possibly be just a normal event, right?

Nope. Hard nope. It’s virtual, to be sure. And this is clearly October, not September like most year. No, this year, in September what we got was… Apple Watch and iPad.

So, now, October. Next week. What are we going to get?

Well, I’m going to tell you all about it. Right now.

Apple TV rumor breakdown! But first, lower your monthly phone bill and get a $25 credit at https://rene.ting.com

We got the first Apple TV back in 2007. Yeah, the one based on stripped down version of OS X Tiger that shared the stage with the original iPhone. We got the second one, the first iOS-based on, in 2010. Then the second, the one that went from 720 to 1080p, in 2012.

After that, the Apple TV spent some time in the desert, going through numerous false-starts. From DVR to higher-end gaming console to… in the end… the future of TV is apps. That hit in 2015, and then got revved to 4K and HDR in 2017.

Then, nothing. Despite all the leaks. Despite all the rumors. Just nothing and more nothing. Until now.

With rumors of an updated A12Z-based Apple TV, maybe even an A14X-based high-end gaming Apple TV and… dare we hope.. an Apple TV dongle stick?

Let’s break it down!

Apple Watch SE Review! But first, lower your monthly phone bill and get a $25 credit at https://rene.ting.com

Yeah, this year, Apple released not just one… but two new Watches. Like 2016 all over again but, instead of a Series 2 and Series 1, we’ve got a Series 6 and a not-Series SE. 

I’ve already reviewed the Apple Watch Series 6, so now it’s time to dig into the Apple Watch SE. But… not how you might expect!

I was watching @iJustine's iPhone 12 rumor recap when it happened: She came across "leaks" so silly she had to double-take. Twice. And eye-roll. So hard. And she's absolutely right. What's going on with these "leaks" and how are they ending up in major tech pubs? So... this video!

Well...

Phone 12 Event is coming! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie 

Ok. Let's try this again, shall we?

The lights go dark. The music pauses. The Apple Logo hits the screen. Tim Cook strides out. “Good morning! Good morning!” The iPhone event… Is.. on.

Yes, fine, sure. We expected all of this to have happened already, just like any other year. But 2020 isn’t like any other year. It’s the Will it Blend of years.

So, instead… instead of the usual September iPhone event, we got… Apple Watch and iPad.

And the iPhone 12… Well, for that we have to wait for October. Like it’s 2011 or something all over again.

But, you know what that means — in about two weeks, Drone shot. Speed ramp. Transition. Steady cam. And then… what exactly?

TV, StudioPods, AirTags, iPad Pro, iPhones… so many iPhones. And maybe, just maybe, some one more Apple Silicon things?

Well, I’m going to break it down for you, all of it, and right now!
