10.22 The asthma app can help work out the triggers for Asthma by swabbing surfaces and then using iPhone GPS data to work out who is getting symptoms and why.

10.21 The user can see this data too, so they can use it to influence their health too. GlucoSuccess is coming for diabetes, Cardiovascular disease, Asthma - the ideas to see if apps can really help users by gathering loads of data - even Bluetooth inhalers to help too.

10.18 ResearchKit is a way to easily make apps, and turns iPhone and HealthKit into powerful diagnostic tools. Working with a variety of foundations for huge diseases. mPower is first up - anyone with an iPhone can contribute. There's a tapping test that evaluates hands tremor, or say 'ah' into the microphone and it can read tremors. Or the accelerometer can precisely measure gait.

Got to admit, this sounds great.

10.16 Lots of issue with the data that comes in, like the demographics, the fact only quarterly visit to the doctor, and the fact all studies are only one way.

Apple's seen an opportunity to help. 100,000,000s of iPhone users who would gladly contribute. To that end: ResearchKit.


10.15 More products using HomeKit too. But the most 'profound impact' is HealthKit. It's all about medical research, Jeff Williams is on stage to talk us through it.

10.14 Back onto the iPhone again, talking about how it was 'The best iPod ever created'. Where's he going with this? Oh, every major car brand has committed to delivering CarPlay. More than 40 new models of cars shipping by the end of the year using it.

I tried it last year. It wasn't great. Hope it's improved since then.

10.13 Cook is stumbling on autocue again. Still able to tell us that vending machines are enormously popular with Apple Pay.

10.12 iPhone has sold bagillions, at double the rate of the rest of the industry. It's the number one selling smartphone, and Apple Pay has 'enormous momentum'. Now have 2500 banks supporting Apple Pay.

10.11 Apple TV price is crashing to $69.99, so doesn't look like a new one is coming.

10.10 Tim's back. He's happy. FYI my cat is called Tim. Not because of Tim Cook though.

This is Tim.

10.09 I have to admit, I hate Game of Thrones. But I know very, very well that I'm in the minority on that. I enjoyed Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life though, so perhaps I'm not the best demographic.

There are lots of swords, dragons and overly verbose dialogue. Apparently it's late October in this trailer, as someone mentioned winter was on the way?

10.08 First month free if you subscribe by April. Oooh, they're showing a new Game of Thrones trailer. Wonder if there will be boobs.

10.07 HBO Now is being launched now as a streaming package. Apple is the exclusive partner at launch. When you subscribe you get access to all the programming from the archives. Just need a broadband connection and an 'Apple device' - plus an HBO Apple TV channel.

10.06 That man is tanned.

10.05 Timmy C clearly loves Sex and the City. He smiled to himself when he mentioned it. But today - Richard Plepler, CEO of HBO is coming onstage. Friend of Apple, apparently.

10.04 Going right in with Apple TV. This doesn't sound good... Tim Cook said 'things' (plural) when talking about what was coming up.

Cook wants to talk HBO. Apple loves HBO.

10.03 Apple has opened six stores in China in the last six weeks alone. It will have 40 by mid next year. Good news for you, Chinese Apple-loving TechRadar fans.

10.02 Tim Cook is here. Oh, it was a new store in China. It has a cantilevered second floor, apparently. Best kind of floor.
