While Dan is busy touching these devices, Lex and Moltz discuss the new iPad Pro (http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/), new Apple TV (http://www.apple.com/tv/), and the new iPhones (http://www.apple.com/iphone/). You can read some stuff about them on Six Colors (http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/09/notebook-apples-newest-product-announcements/). Moltz wrote a thing about round watch faces versus square watch faces (http://verynicewebsite.net/2015/09/the-watch-face-wars/). Lex has some thoughts about Product Red (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Red). Apple's new upgrade program looks pretty good (http://www.macworld.com/article/2982376/apple-phone/iphone-6s-pricing-plan-offers-frequent-upgrades-and-applecare-for-a-premium.html).
