In case you missed the live stream, here are the most important things that were announced yesterday:

Amazon is finally coming to tvOS

A dispute between Amazon Prime and Apple has kept customers from watching Amazon Video for quite some time on tvOS. Now it seems that the two companies have buried their hatchets for the benefit of the consumers. It remains unclear though if the app will be integrated into Apple’s TV app on tvOS since their integration will begin at the end of the year.

WatchOS is moving very quickly, and the new watchOS 4 – Siri watch-face is already available. The new thing is that it automatically displays all the important information with the same type of intelligence that is applied to iOS, and the access to Siri is very easy. The watch will use machine learning to adapt automatically to the customer’s routines and apps that they use. WatchOS 4 has a new workout UI, support for two-way data exchange with workout machines and more.
