The Bazaarday finally came.
Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 2, and the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday.
As the event wraps up with a musical finale, we have listed its biggest takeaways for our Apple-hungry audience:
Yes, you heard it right. Apple's event started with Nintendo's famed director Shigeru Miyamoto as the first guest. The creator of Mario announced the plumber's first mobile title: Super Mario Run.
The game, which lets players take Mario across classic-looking stages using one-touch controls, will be out this holiday for iOS devices.
"It's the first time you play a Mario game with one hand, so you can play while riding the subway, eating a hamburger, or eating an apple," Miyamoto joked.
Apple revealed the new device, called the Apple Watch Series 2, and it promises to be water-resistant up to 50 meters. An innovative new speaker design will actually spit water out of the device after your laps end.
The Apple Watch Series 2 will include built-in GPS functionality and will be released on September 16 with a starting price of $369.
The larger iPhone 7 Plus has two 12-megapixel cameras: one has a wide-angle lens and the other has a telephoto lens.
With the two cameras, the iPhone 7 Plus can zoom up to 2x via optical zoom between the two lenses and up to 10x via digital zoom.

Users will be able to take DSLR-like photos with a shallow depth of field using 3D-mapping from its dual lenses.
For the first time ever, the new iPhones are IP67 water- and dust-resistant.
That's good enough to be submerged in up to 3.2 feet of water for up to 30 minutes, according to Ingress Protection, the organization that "classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion" for products.
As widely rumored, the controversial removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack from the new iPhone became a reality. RIP headphone jack.
This means that Apple will be shipping a different set of earbuds with the new phone: EarPods with a Lightning connector.
Speaking about the new buds, Apple's Phil Schiller said it took "courage" to remove the headphone jack and do something new.
Every new iPhone will also include a Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack dongle in the box that will work with existing headphones.
Not into any of those two options? Apple's got new wireless AirPods, its new wireless earbuds that are basically EarPods sans wires.
