It's not the iPhone 16 event. It's the Apple Watch Series X Event.

Meh. I get its marketing and it’s for hype but this whole routine has grown stale and repetitive. I’ll catch the Macrumors coverage but not even watching or upgrading. Maybe next year. Can’t get excited about spec bumps and that color that reminds me of 7up gold from the late 1980s.
