Yup, it's that time of the year - iPhone announcement. Considering the "special" iPhone rumours and leaks, this one may be interesting. An LTE Apple Watch is also alleged to come out too.

Apple launch event. Likely new iPhones and ARM Macs to be announced. I might be busy today, but when possible, I'll try to tl;dr the event for you, like previous Apple events.

Rumour mill suggests new iPad Pros, but other possibilities include 4K Apple TV, ARM iMacs, and the perennially unlaunched AirTags. I might not be able to fully provide my commentary because of schedule conflicts, but I'll try my best.

Almost certainly for this event: "M1X" 14/16" MacBook Pros. Maybe the new MacBook Air if you've been a good egg. Stream starts at 10 PM Pacific/2 PM Atlantic. As always, I'll be the real-time tl;dr.

Rumoured happenings include the new iPhone 7 and new Apple Watch, with: * Removed headphone jack. How will Apple sell this? To make more space for other components, to improve waterproofing? Either way, it also seems like Apple will include wireless earbuds in the box. * Dual cameras on the 7 ...

TL;DR - Lenovo is shipping some new models with Windows 10 Signature Edition installed. It has Intel Rapid Storage Technology enabled so Linux cannot access the SSD. Disabling RST is not supported by the shipping BIOS.
