Interesting that their demos using Siri had no speech. Maybe this is
something they haven't worked out yet. All other demos of Siri that I
recall always had her speaking back. Of course their tagline was
"glances" so you glance at the watch face to read something quickly.
Having Siri babble on might have detracted from their "glance" idea.

Hi GIGi,
thanks for posting. Good to have an overview of what is new. I sort
of thought that a lot of it might be about the Apple watch, which
isn't all that high on my list. :)
Again, thanks for posting this for those of us who couldn't listen to
the keynote.
Cheers,
Donna

Hello Donna
The first thing they talked about was the AppleTV. It's going to
have HBO added to it now. I forgot when is going to come available.
Next, as far as I can remember, they talked about the MacBook. It's
going to be lighter and the keyboard is going to come out to the
very edges of it. They talked about the changes in the keyboard.
They also talked about the trackpad and how you can press on it
differently to do scrolling. The new MacBook Pros are going to have
some of this too. For those partially sighted among us, the keyboard
is going to have LEDs under all the keys. They also talked about
more battery life for the MacBooks.
They talked about programs for the iPhone and health research for
things like Parkinson's disease and diabetes. It was explained how
the sensors on the phone would communicate to researchers the
information for them to gather data. Apple won't get the information.
They talked a whole lot about the Apple Watch. A lot of what they
said about the Apple Watch we heard the last time. We have, by the
way, a new update to the iPhone, version 8.2. It adds for you to
pair with your Apple Watch when it comes out in April.
I did notice that again Siri did open her speakers and respond when
the presenter held up the Apple watch and said "Hey Siri." So I
still haven't heard it talk yet. If I am in North Park Mall after
April whatever, I'll check it out and let you guys know, unless of
course, someone else finds out sooner.
I suppose this keynote is now on the web site.

Hello guys
Yesterday I listen to the keynote that Apple did. This time, it
worked out real good to do the live streaming. I have never done
the live one before, because I'm usually working. First, I was
able to call it up on my iPhone this time which I really wanted to
do. Last time, I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone. Another
thing I noticed, which was really nice, was that voiceover was
saying all the little caption things. So when they had a silent
music playing film, voiceover was saying all the things that were
coming up on the screen. Not all of them were necessary, but it
still was interesting that it was happening and a nice touch.
