Don't Say I Didn't Warn You: Apple iPhone Keynote 2019

Apple is moving on, regardless of if you are coming with them or catch up later. Ladies and gentlemen! I have my new AppleWatch series 5 on its way!!! I could not be happier about this important moment for my Apple Loving Life! I will keep you guys updated on my thoughts as I enjoy this new always on screen life. BUT, there were also other things to talk about… The new phones are good if not great. They are not "innovating" massively and taking a leap into the unknown; they are betting on a more incrementally significant upgrade. Enough to excite but not too much as to take a big risk that could backfire. How is that a good thing? Well, because the iPhone is slowly winding down, and services and Apple Watch are exploding up.

Today is no ordinary day. Wherever you are in the world there is something in the air happening and whether you want to know or not, I am letting you know. Apple is evolving away from the iPhone; the biggest consumer sold product in history is no longer going to be their growth factor. I have said this before HOWEVER, today the Apple Card is being launched today in the United States. Apple Music is already a proven success that continues to grow; Apple TV+ will be out in some countries in November and seems quite promising; Apple News is a hit or miss service that maybe forgotten or improved because right now it’s not polished enough and Apple Arcade has started some buzz (although to be honest it’s the one service I am not too sure about how to review). All of this to state the grand change in Apple growth despite the stagnation and now decrease in iPhone sales worldwide. Apple Card is a completely different bet on apple’s behalf: it is a tech approach to a space in
