Apple Keynote Event September 13 at 3AM

Gossip is we should be looking at 3 new phones, a new Apple watch, and the still missing in action AirPad for charging your iPhone, Apple watch, and AirPods.  We’ll talk more about this in two weeks as the keynote event is on the 13th Australian time and we’ll miss it for Talking Tech for that week.

The event should be lived stream through Apple’s page, and you can also listen to it on the Apple TV.

I will be joining Jonathan Mosen on the BlindSide podcast after the Apple Keynote Event to discuss it as well.
