To its credit, Apple is getting pretty geeky here about how AR fits into the iPhone 8. Crowd is mostly quiet, but the AR geeks are digging it.
11:06 a.m.
Lots of fairly subtle changes to the iPhone for the 8 version, largely having to do with a better camera. But, the feeling in the room seems to be, "let's get to the X..."

9:41 a.m.
Hi from Apple's 'Spaceship," specifically the Steve Jobs Theatre. This place is cool (see pics and video on twitter: @scottbudman). The event is set to start at 10 a.m. We expect as many as three phones, with several price ranges, and lots of new features. Also, updates to iOS, Apple Watch, and maybe AppleTV. Lots of dignitaries here from media companies like Disney and Sony, so maybe some content news as well? Anyway, the theatre is very cool, and this campus is enormous. More to come.
