All the news and opinion from Apple’s iPhone 7, Apple Watch Series 2 and Super Mario Run reveals

Apple’s September 2016 keynote brought with it a number of big reveals.

The iPhone 7 was unveiled as expected, two years after the release of the iPhone 6 and one year on from the iPhone 6s. And controversially, the company has dropped the traditional headphone jack from the device.

The mobile giant also announced the new Apple Series Watch 2 and a special Pokemon GO app being developed by Niantic Labs for the smartwatch.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto taking the stage to reveal a brand new mobile game: Super Mario Run.
