Sad news part:

With the release of Apple Watch Series 4, Apple officially removed the fancy Apple Watch Edition model. It marks the end history of the Edition brand that once represented the company's high-end Apple Watch series. The Apple Watch product line currently only has Apple Watch Series 4 models and a small number of Series 3 models.

Apple won't bundle a Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter for new iPhone customers. While it continues to ship with EarPods with Lightning Connector, a Lightning to USB Cable, and a 5A USB Power Adapter. Despite rumors says that new iPhone will ship USB-C to lightning connector, which it appears to be not the case.

AirPower wireless charging mat, which Apple previewed at last year's iPhone X event, didn't make an appearance at today's Keynote. However, on the official AirPods site, the AirPower listed as "currently unavailable." We are unclear what cause the delay, but few rumors suggest it most likely due to the heating issues. We may see it will launch next month.
