As a person who has used Macs since December of 1984, I found the "One more thing" event to be one of the most exciting Mac events since the original Mac introduced itself to the world on January 24, 1984.

Apple held its "Time Flies" event yesterday (September 15, 2020), which was a tightly-paced one-hour video presentation featuring new Apple Watches, new services, and new iPads. In this post, we'll take a detailed look at each of the announcements and their impact on Apple fans.
