Apple reveals three new iPhone Xs, latest Apple Watch

Thanks for joining us for our live coverage of Apple's autumn launch event.

What we got: Pricy new iPhones with flashy new camera features, a "budget priced" $799 iPhone XR, and a heart-focused refresh of the company's 3-year-old smartwatch.

Notably missing from the lineup: Apple's long-awaited wireless charging pad and refreshed AirPods.

Today's event was evolutionary, not revolutionary.

And maybe that's okay for a trillion-dollar company that has hordes of fans awaiting every single new product. But anyone who was waiting for a surprise announcement at the end came away disappointed. 

From my seat in the back of the theater, this event was all about "more-more-more," meaning faster processors, more storage, better cameras.

Reading between the lines, I also heard Apple execs telling us not to take these features for granted. Not to shrug off the technological achievements that we're all carrying around in our pockets.

It's definitely easy to start taking this tech for granted, but Apple wants you to remember what you're paying for -- or, to put a finer point on it, WHY you're paying so much.

Are you confused on when all the sparkly things Apple just announced come out?

Here’s a guide:

• iPhone XS and XS Max pre-orders start Sept. 14 and ship on Sept. 21.
• iPhone XR will be available for pre-order on Oct. 19 and ship on Oct. 26.
• iOS 12 will be released on Sept. 17.
• HomePod and tvOS software updates also come out Sept. 17.
• macOS Mojave will come out on Sept. 24

This is the first iPhone that's more than $1,000

Prices for the new iPhone range from $749 to $1,099. (Apple's iPhone X was $999)

On the bright side, an iPhone 7 is now $449, and an 8 is now $599.

Apple's surprise announcement: The new iPhone XR. It's 6.1 inches with a bright LCD screen and comes in a variety of colors including, white, black, blue, coral and red. It's missing a home button, and instead will be activated by swiping.

The new phone also has a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera. Prices will start at $749.

Finally, we meet the new iPhone

The next edition of the iPhone is here. Dubbed the iPhone XS (pronounced Ten-S), the new phone has major changes inside, including a faster processor and more storage.

Apple is also launching the iPhone XS Max, which features a huge 6.5-inch screen.

Both phones have dazzling displays and improved stereo sound thanks to beefed up speakers.

CEO Tim Cook said the phones are “by far the most advanced" phones ever created.

The also have a better battery. Apple says the iPhone XS battery will last 30 minutes longer than the X. The battery for the XS Max will last up to an hour and a half longer.
