The wraps came off the iPad Air 4 at Apple’s September event on Tuesday. This is a considerable upgrade, with a larger, edge-to-edge screen, USB-C and new color options.

Apple’s video emphasizes it’s support for the second-generation Apple Pencil, along with the handwriting-recognition features debuting in iPadOS 14.

There’s not yet a video ad for the iPad 8, also announced at Tuesday “Time Flies” event..

The ad for the newly-announced Apple Watch Series 6 uses “it already does that” as its theme. The video points out that the wearable offers many features that would have been considered science fiction a decade or so ago, like sleep tracking and heart monitoring.

A highlight of the device is a blood oxygen sensor. But most features are carried over from Series 5, or are part of watchOS 7.

Cupertino also introduced a video called Apple Watch — The Device That Saved Me. It features users talking about how this wearable “has changed — and even saved — the lives of those whom wear it.”

Most Watch users can appreciate a video rundown of the new Apple Watch faces launching in watchOS 7, like the Chronograph Pro face with built-in tachymeter. Or the fun Stripes face.

The Apple September event also saw the debut of a new service: Apple Fitness+ which closely integrates with its wearable. It promises “world-class workouts by the world’s top fitness trainers.” And a just-released video ad demonstrates what’s coming.
