So it seems like prerecorded Apple events are going to be the future. It seems like they are very happy with how prerecording tapes go, and I guess it's way less work for their part in terms of rehearsals or anything like that. But I don't know if that's ever going to come back at this point. I mean, I know that it was popular, but I also feel like it would've been great, if I flew in here, that there was going to be an actual normal, typical Apple event. So Tim Cook physically did come on stage for the first minute, and then he cued the screen, and just like WWDC, we were all in the theater watching a movie, basically. And you know, it was sitting next to a hundred other people in the theater and watching Tim Cook take this stage-but this is where things differed-instead of an actual live event, like what maybe a lot of people thought might be happening, finally, it was all prerecorded. Some people did, but obviously I would say 90 percent of people did not wear masks. But no one had to wear a mask, it was all optional. We had to send in a Covid test the day before and upload that, and some company certified that. But yeah, the event was pretty much exactly like the event back in 2019, it felt the same, prepandemic. It's underground, so thankfully it was not too hot. Thankfully, the Steve Jobs Theater is quite cool. Julian, I want to get right into it because you were there in person at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, but it was 97 degrees in Cupertino today, is that right? Apple also announced a new rugged Apple Watch called the Ultra, along with the regular Apple watches that we were expecting. Just a few hours ago Apple announced its new iPhone lineup, just like it does every September. Michael Calore: So we are recording this on Wednesday, the afternoon of September 7th. Julian Chokkattu: Yes, I came perfectly during a heat wave.
