Apple’s ‘Surprise’ Wasn’t What You Think

Welcome back, my fellow assassins, to another episode of the Dark Assassins podcast, the show that dives deep into not just technology, but the concepts, software, and procedures behind it all, and explains it so simply that even your grandma can understand it.

As always, I'm your host, the Dark Assassin.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back again for another week.

First time we've had back-to-back episodes, but that is because, like I mentioned in last week's episode, we had an Apple event this week, so of course we got to talk about all the good juicy details and updates that they had for us.

Now, this was their...

I guess you could call it their iPhone event, although not to spoil it, they did not release all of their new iPhones for the year, but they did release, I guess, technically three if you count the Pro and the Pro Max as different.

But if you count the Pro and the Pro Max, it's just the Pro line.

Then they released two new iPhones as well as some new Apple Watches and new AirPods as well.

But we got a lot to unpack here because in addition to the new products, we also got to talk about John Ternes' first official event as CEO.

He took over at the beginning of this month.

So this was his first event as CEO.

And then, of course, we had quite the legendary cameo, which we, of course, have to talk about.

But before we get into that, let's start off with our trivia question for the week.

So this week's trivia question is, when was the first SMS or text message sent? So when was the first SMS or text message sent? And that is your trivia question for the week.

So let's just hop right into this Apple event.
