THINGS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

THE FRUIT

THE STORY

Yesterday, Apple invited a bunch of people over for a show-and-tell. There was lots of clapping.

WHAT DO iWANT FOR CHRISTMAS?

A watch and a phone. But you can only have the phone since the watch doesn't come out until next year. There are two choices: the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. One's a little tiny; the other's a little full-figured. As for the watch, it's like a Fitbit, a wallet, and a Tamagotchi all in one. With your choice of colors. If that didn't make you realize how broke you're about to be, Apple's also got a new way for you to spend money — Apple Pay will let you store credit cards and pay for things on your phone and watch. iScared.

Investors got really excited during the event, but after the sugar-high wore off they forgot about it and went on with their lives. Meanwhile, the Fruit's new offerings show the company might be driving off into the luxury lane for good.
