And that is it in a day packed with only some surprises if you've been following the rumors.

That wraps it up for now... Until the subsequent Apple product occasion.

In our largest wonder of the day, Apple is keeping the iPhone 14 Pro charges unchanged — it actually is $999 for the Pro and $1,099 for the Pro Max. Preorders start September 9, and the phones hit stores September sixteen.

Action Mode and Photonic Engine from the iPhone 14 are to be had at the iPhone 14 Pro, too, and Apple is updating Cinematic mode to artwork in 4k at 30fps.

Apple is promising all-day battery existence, however there can be no word on battery sizes — it really is everyday for Apple — or charging pace.

As for the cameras, the iPhone 14 Pro is supposed to supply a 2x improvement in low-slight settings.  That's thanks to the 48MP sensor — an improvement over the 12MP virtual digicam Apple has used for eons — and quad-pixel sensor with big pixel sizes. It's a 7-element lens with an f/1.Seventy eight aperture.

The 12MP ultrawide virtual camera additionally has been desed to guide better low-light pics — a 3x improvement. And there may be a 12MP telephoto lens with a 2x zoom.

The iPhone 14 Pro models get the A16 Bionic chip, with its sixteen billion transistors. It's constructed on a 4-nanometer process, and it's far the fastest chip to be had available on the market, Apple says.

You get a 6-center CPU with excessive-overall performance cores which might be quicker at the same time as the usage of 20% much less electricity than the A15. The stop result is "exceptional battery life," Apple's Greg Joswiak says.

The five-center GPU has 50% greater reminiscence bandwidth. A new show engine lets in the continually-on show and 1Hz refresh charge. And the cameras can faucet into the CPU, GPU, neural engine and ISP.

Display sizes are the same as the same old iPhones — 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches. Apple's elevated the height brightness to two,000 nits. And at prolonged final, the iPhone is getting an generally-on display feature. Or at least, the Pro models are.

Improved LTPO era shall we the iPhone 14 Pro lessen to 1Hz. It can dim the display as nicely, which incorporates wallpaper snap shots, so the display stays visible with out sucking away battery lifestyles.

You can get 4 hues — black, silver, gold and a brand new deep red. The body is chrome steel and the display is Ceramic Shield. And yes, the notch is long long gone.

But it is extra than just a transfer to a tablet-normal cutout. Apple calls this the Dynamic Island, with uniquely crafted animations. A cellphone name as an example expands the tablet-fashioned cutout right right into a notification. It also expands at the same time as you connect your iPads, and you could see present day album art inside the Dynamic Island whilst you're playing tune.

Got sports taking place? The Dynamic Island splits into . It's wild, man.

It feels hundreds like the touchbar on the MacBook Pros. You understand, the characteristic Apple discontinued?

That leaves the iPhone 14 Pro. So guess what we're going to talk about now?

It's the "maximum revolutionary Pro lineup but," in keeping with Tim Cook.

Apple Fitness Plus is coming to the iPhone later this autumn even if you do no longer have an Apple Watch.

The fee at the iPhone 14 is unchanged from the $799 Apple fee for the iPhone thirteen. The iPhone 14 Plus will fee $899.

You can preorder the phones on Sept. Nine. The iPhone 14 is coming Sept. Sixteen. You'll be capable of get the Plus on October 7. So we're getting a staggered launch this year.

As with the Apple Watch eight, the iPhone 14 adds a Crash Detection feature that taps into sensors to hit upon a crash earlier than notifying emergency services. 

You're additionally going if you want to live linked even at the same time as you are off the grid. The Emergency SOS through Satellite feature will come into play even as mobile towers are not available. Apple built custom additives and software program program that shows you wherein to component the cellular telephone to connect with a satellite tv for pc, so you don't want a bulky antenna.

The feature moreover uses an algorithm to compress the scale of messages or sals simply so they can be sent rapid. There's a streamlined interface for quick figuring out the emergency you are experiencing. The concept is to get you assist extra quick.

And even as this is supposed for emergencies, you may also use Emergency SOS to percentage your location with the Find My app.

You'll get the company free of charge for 2 years after buy. It goes live inside the US and Canada in November.

Apple's touting the eSim abilties on the iPhone 14 for quick shifting plans and storing a couple of SIMs. It's moreover extra strong, because you can't put off an electronic SIM card. In fact, all U.S. Models of the iPhone 14 will deliver with out a SIM tray.

Action Mode even as capturing video guarantees higher stabilization and smoother video without extra tool.

The Deep Fusion feature is being carried out earlier on uncompressed pix for higher low-slight overall performance. Apple is looking this the Photonic Engine. So here's the software program software-driven improvements that always come with new iPhones. End stop end result ought to be better shade on your photographs.

As for cameras, you get a 12MP essential virtual digital camera with a faster aperture, large sensor and large pixels. That should help with hues and mild — a forty nine% improvement in low-light settings, Apple claims.

The ultrawide camera appears to additionally be a 12MP sensor. Deosn't sound like there may be many improvements there.

The the front digital digicam is superior although, with autofocus and a far broader aperture to permit in extra mild. Apple guarantees quicker-consciousness, even in low slight.

The rumors are authentic: the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are getting an A15 Bionic chip much like the iPhone 13. But the five-center GPU is eighteen% faster, and there's a 6-center GPU and sixteen-center neural engine. Since the A15 is quicker than other chips, it's miles now not like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus may be hurting for pace.

And now, the iPhone. Specifically, the iPhone 14 Plus, a 6.7-inch version of the 6.1-inch iPhone. (If you had Plus in place of iPhone 14 Max in your workplace pool, accumulate your bets.)

There's an up to date internal layout in the iPhone 14, that continues the phone cooler and helps you to play longer without performance dropping. As earlier than, the iPhone 14 fashions have a ceramic protect.

Four colors — middle of the night, starlight, blue, crimson and Product Red.

There's a speaker at the lowest of the case to help you greater resultseasily discover the AirPods Pro 2. 

The AirPods Pro 2 will charge $249. Pre-orders begin September 9 and they will be to be had on Sept. 23.

Touch control provides a capacitive layer so you can regulate amount with a swipe. Apple is promising 6 hours of listening time, a 33% increase from the actual Air Pods Pro. With the charging case, you get 30 hours of listening time.

The H2 chip doubles the quantity of noise cancellation over the unique AirPods Pro. Different ear tip sizes help more people wear the AirPods Pro 2 without difficulty. An Adaptive Transparency mode reduces the sound of harsh environmental noise, reacting to high-decibel noises.

There's a trendy H2 chip and a state-of-the-art low-distortion audio motive force. The latter gives more element and clarity all through a much wider array of sound frequencies. And of route, there may be spatial audio. You can use the digital camera to your iPhone for personalized spatial audio to degree the dimensions of head, so that sound can be tuned only for you.

It's AirPods time — "the satisfactory and maximum well-known headphones inside the global," Tim Cook says. And so we have become a brand new technology of AirPods Pro — we're going to call it the AirPods Pro 2 to avoid confusion.

So many Apple Watch Ultra features, such watch.

You can order the Apple Watch 8 these days, with the logo new version hitting shops September 16.

Apple Watch 8 colors embody Midnight, Starlight, Silver, Project Red. There are loads of new bands too that are too a couple of to recount.

Apple Watch 8 introduces a low strength mode that may enlarge battery life to 36 hours on a full fee. That basically doubles the Apple Watch's battery lifestyles. It will paintings on Series four and later when you enhance to watchOS 9.

Apple Watch also can live linked while you tour remote places through global roaming. It will paintings with Apple Watch Series five onward.

The Crash Detection function makes a speciality of four styles of crash -- the front, side, rear-surrender and rollover. It faucets into one-of-a-kind sensors like a gyroscope to determine if there is a crash. It works with passenger cars, SUVs and pickup vehicles.

Now we're speakme about safety features, like the fall detection function Apple formerly introduced to its watches.

The Crash Detection feature will percentage your location and notify your emergency contacts as well.

Knowing if and even as you have ovulated can help with own family making plans, and the Apple Watch 8 makes it extra handy than the usage of a physical thermometer and paper journal, Apple says.

(Incidentally, no matter the truth that the theater is packed, we're seeing a pre-recorded product announcement video as we've got for the past -plus years.)

So far it is a recap of the easy Apple Watch competencies — sleep monitoring, health tracking, blood oxygen tracking and so on. But Apple Watch eight provides more, starting with a temperature sensor.

Temperature sensor is connected to cycle monitoring for girls, permitting monitoring for ovulation. The temperature sensor can provide you with a retrospective estimate of whilst you ovulate.

Apple is also emphasizing the privateness of this data, as it is been a difficulty since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in advance this yr. Only you can percentage the information — Apple has no way of decrypting it.

Jeff Williams, Apple's COO, goes to guide us through the state-of-the-art Apple Watch lineup.

First up, the Apple Watch 8 — "all of the things you like about Apple Watch, but even more."

Apple Watch is first up. It's always there, encourages you to stay lively and video show gadgets your fitness, says Tim Cook. And now we have were given a ordinary phase of those Apple events wherein Apple shares testimonials from Apple Watch proprietors who had lifestyles-saving research with their smartwatch.

Special shout-out to the fellow who used his Apple Watch at the same time as he was trapped with the aid of using a undergo.

Tim Cook says we're speaking approximately 3 merchandise "which might be essential in our lives" — iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods.

Spoilers, dude.

And away we move.

We're a lot much less than 5 minutes from the start of the Apple event — high-quality time to squeeze in a unmarried extra rumor. 

This one includes a leaked iPhone 14 Pro deal at T-Mobile where you'll be able to get the today's cellphone for free with a exchange-in. Expect confirmation one manner or the alternative in about an hour.

The crowd can be in their seats on the Steve Jobs Theater, but I've moved myself to the residing room so I can watch the Apple Far Out event on my Apple TV. (Just go to the TV app to locate the stay circulate.)

Trying to discover a live flow of the Apple event for your self. Here's our guide on the way to observe brand new Far Out occasion.

First look inner Steve Jobs Theater for Apple Event. Here comes the iPhone 14 and dare I say a VR headset preview? I advocate the pictures are 3-D ish… percentage.Twitter.Com/Hu7bbjHyvTSeptember 7, 2022

We are thru the looking glass*, people.

* "via the searching glass" means "within the theater."

Apple had a small smattering of attendees on its campus for the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but the keynote itself changed into pre-recorded. By my estimation, the Far Out event can be Apple's first in-character product release due to the fact the fall of 2019, even as it confirmed off the iPhone 11.

Are human beings keen to go lower back to in-individual Apple product launches? We post the picture above showing the pre-occasion crowd filling up the Steve Jobs Theater foyer as Exhibit A.

We interrupt our construct-as a lot as the Apple event for a glimpse at a ought to-be competitor to the Apple Watch 8 popping out later nowadays.

Looks like Sundar Pichai is wearing the Pixel Watch at the Code Conference %.Twitter.Com/hcoNB9mdNySeptember 7, 2022

That'd be Sundar Picahi carrying what seems to be a Pixel Watch, the previewed despite the fact that now not released smartwatch that Google's likely to roll out next month. It's each different s that tech agencies are hoping to undertaking Apple inside the smartwatch area, elevating the stakes for present day Apple Watch eight screen.

With new iPhones and Apple Watches probably coming these days, it's far clean to overlook the AirPods Pro 2 which might be moreover being tipped for a release. And if you're part of the gang questioning just how Apple can beautify upon the AirPods Pro, there are more than one rumored features which have stuck my interest.

The first is that speaker grill, seen on the bottom of the AirPods Pro 2 charging case in a CAD image supposedly displaying off the updated product. It's substantially notion that Apple goes to make it possible to feature the AirPods Pro 2 case to its Find My network — a fine addition if you are like me and have a tendency to spend at the least one morning in step with week trying to do not forget in which you left your earbuds.

Another potential function additionally includes the case, and it is a lanyard hook. That might allow humans connect their AirPods Pro case to a keychain, making it less complicated to maintain song of the earbuds within the first location.

Big adjustments? No, no longer absolutely.  But welcome ones if you value preserving tabs on your stuff.

The arrival of the iPhone 14 Pro in about an hour possibly way the give up of Apple's notch, first added five years within the beyond on the iPhone X. And Sanjana Prakash could not be happier about the notch's farewell look.

Consider this your hour-or-so to move update live from the Steve Jobs Theater.

Another document from Cupertino: the crowd's been permit into the Steve Jobs Theater wherein the Far Out event is taking vicinity. We're advised they'll be seated in about 40 mins in advance of the 1 p.M. ET begin.

At least there are baked items to experience while passing the time.

We're no longer surely getting new hardware at modern day event, despite the fact that understandably, that is where the focus goes to be. Apple previewed various software program releases throughout summer season's Worldwide Developer Conference, and it's very probably the commercial enterprise corporation proclaims release dates for the general variations of iOS 16, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16. It's viable we must pay interest about macOS Ventura as nicely, despite the fact that that is probably tied to the rumored October product occasion wherein Apple is probably to reveal off new Macs. Apple has already advised us that iPadOS 16 may not ship until after iOS sixteen arrives.

As for iOS 16, I've been spending some of time with the software replace due to the fact the first beta arrived in July. I've already made the complete-time glide to iOS sixteen on my everyday iPhone — no test fashions for this cowboy — and I count on the whole release might be polished enough for maximum humans to do the same.

Global editor-in-leader Mark Spoonauer assessments in from outdoor of Apple's round HQ.

The mother ship by no means receives vintage. #AppleEvent percent.Twitter.Com/KvFKejnv50September 7, 2022

The Tom's Guide organization is all checked in at the Apple occasion, and Kate Kozuch notes that the badges are paper this 12 months. That's a change from my occasion-going days at the same time as tech organizations used plastic for the badges they exceeded out to press, VIPs and personnel. Chalk that transfer up to Apple's on-going environmental moves, which I suspect we will pay attention extra approximately in the course of today's product reveals.

Our first TikTok file, via Kate Kozuch, from Apple Park in Cupertino:

The Tom's Guide institution has arrived in Cupertino, hours in advance of the scheduled Apple occasion. Punctuality is the politeness of princes, in any case.

That's Kate Kozuch, Mark Spoonauer and intrepid cameraman Marcus who may be giving us on-net website online critiques from Cupertino all day lengthy. Make sure to examine the Tom's Guide TikTok (opens in new tab) for all the short reactions and product fingers-ons from the showcase.

Good morning — it is me, Philip Michaels, proper right here to take you as a lot because the Apple Far Out Event beginning at 1 p.M. ET/10 a.M. PT after which typing furiously at some point of so that every one the information of Apple's one in all a type product bulletins are captured for all posterity.

Speaking of busy mornings, here's a man who figures to have a whole calendar these days.

Good morning! Looking in advance to a stellar Apple event. P.C.Twitter.Com/8rwWBwX79VSeptember 7, 2022

Maybe log out Twitter, dude, you've got a show to place on.

And on the identical time as I’m musing, I’d want to see what the rumored A16 chip, supposedly most effective coming to the iPhone 14 Pro models, can do as regards to gaming. Apple’s cellphone chips had been top performers for a long time, but I’d certainly like to see them deliver a few lovely gaming performance. 

That’ll with a chunk of luck cause greater visually remarkable Apple Arcade games. I’ve presently been stepping into the provider, which offers a as an alternative exciting mix of video games to play. But I’m hungry for a few element special, similar to Infinity Blade changed into at the early iPhones. Failing that, a few killer mobile ports of large titles could cross down properly. 

As for the iPhone 14 enhance yours in reality is probably maximum interested in, nicely that’s a problematic one. Fast charging for the iPhone 14 Pro might be properly, due to the fact the iPhone thirteen Pro that I swapped to from Android isn’t as snappy at charging as some of the exceptional Android phones. 

But I do like a good cellphone camera, so I can’t deny I’d absolutely want to peer what Apple need to do with a 48MP essential sensor. Knowing how Apple works with computational pix and picture processing, I’m hoping for some pictures that blow me away — even though I do anticipate any proven off on the occasion to be nicely choreographed. 

With iPhones being discontinued and the advent of iOS sixteen, you can now be pondering whether or not you have to enhance to a new iPhone. It’s now not as clean a question because it as quickly as changed into, given telephones have obtained greater incremental enhancements from generation to generation of late. 

But we have have been given a rundown of the 5 biggest iPhone 14 Pro rumored enhancements, which need to at the least provide you with some early caution of whether you need to be saving for a brand new tool after these days’s event. If you’re on an iPhone X or iPhone 11 at the least, it may be time to upgrade.

Speaking of discontinued iPhones, the release of the iPhone 14 variety is possibly to see some older Apple telephones get placed out to pasture. 

As such, coping with editor Philip Michaels has taken a look at what iPhones can be killed-off with the launch of the iPhone 14. I’d additionally suggest maintaining hearth on shopping for an iPhone thirteen in recent times. 

Let’s go again to the iPhone 14 range for a chunk. As discussed it’s almost really game over for the iPhone mini, with a purpose to in all likelihood be replaced thru the iPhone 14 Plus. 

We like large phones here at Tom’s Guide and we can't lie. But information editor Sanjana Prakash is an iPhone mini advise, to the quantity she wishes Apple wasn’t going to kill the iPhone mini. 

“With inflation and fees hovering anywhere, I want Apple could were extra aware of this and given us a much less luxurious iPhone 14 mini. But going by way of the traits, purchasers might virtually pick the iPhone 14 Max to get a massive-display iPhone that modified into usually an lousy lot more luxurious — leaving compact telephone fans like me with the iPhone SE (2022),” explains Prakash. 

“I surely desire the iPhone 14 Max does now not mark the give up of the street for the mini for correctly.”

Well it'd not seem like you will be shopping for some issue Apple inside the imply time, at the least no longer from the principle on line preserve because it's down. Apple absolutely left the message: "We’re making updates to the Apple Store. Check returned soon."

Now it does not take a genius (happily, as I am now not one) to exercising consultation that Apple is nearly surely such as new products to the shop geared up to head on sale or be up for pre-order after the Apple occasion.  

One element it is not hypothesis from my issue of view is how you genuinely shouldn't purchase an iPhone thirteen  in recent times. Right now Apple has the iPhone thirteen variety at full price no matter the upcoming launch of the iPhone 14. 

So you have to wait to look what the iPhone 14 range has in save and if the iPhone 13 models are then discounted as soon as the subsequent-gen phones move on sale. 

Of route, Far Out can also be a connection with the Apple Watch Pro, which as we've got discussed can be a rugged and tough take on the Apple Watch eight des to be used outdoor and in severe conditions. 

Given conventional watches have had a link to glorified names, collectively with the Omega Spacemaster, possibly Apple is gong for the identical experience with Far Out. The concept may be the Apple Watch Pro is desed for use in such a ways out conditions it may conceivably be taken to region. 

I guess we'll need to... Watch this location. (I'm sorry.) 

Sometimes ready may be the hardest aspect, and whilst we are mere hours far from the Apple event, I'm though chewing over what will be 'Far Out' about Cupertino's show off.

But I've penned a piece of writing looking into why Apple can also additionally have selected to go for the Far Out strapline. TL;DR I reckon it may be in connection with progressed night time pictures facilitated through the iPhone 14 Pro's tipped 40MP digital camera, with greater element capture that means sky at night time time shots affected by stars. 

One smartphone that has been amassing a sincere little bit of interest over the previous few months is the so-referred to as iPhone 14 Max or iPhone 14 Plus. It's tipped to offer a 6.7-inch show, like an iPhone Max however without worrying the $1,000 plus price tag. 

We've rejigged our iPhone 14 Plus hub to certainly come up with the lowdown on what to expect from this rumored phone, which seems very possibly to be a capability thriller weapon in Apple's cellular phone arsenal. 

Speaking of iPad and Macs, we are not looking for Apple to expose off such devices at ultra-modern event, but we do assume new fashions might be on the way quickly — likely next month.

One persistent rumor round future iPads has been the addition of an OLED display display screen, some thing that Apple already includes in Apple Watch and iPhone fashions. Right now, the consensus is that the predicted iPad Pro 2022 (opens in new tab) might not get an OLED show, and that we are able to must wait until 2023 or later for that.

It's although an interesting prospect regardless of the truth that it is now not coming close to near, and a brand new document from 9to5Mac (opens in new tab) statistics precisely what (and even as) to count on on this the front.

Managing editor Roland Moore-Colyer here to take on the stay running a blog all all over again. And what's caught my eye out of the gates this morning is the concept of a iPhone subscription provider. The rumored concept right here is that users pays a monthly price for get admission to to an iPhone and a collection of Apple services. 

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (opens in new tab), we have to see the iPhone subscription company appear "in advance than the give up of the 365 days." So we have to see it brought these days, although there is apparently some other Apple event in October where it can seem; I suspect that occasion will awareness on iPads and Macs not iPhone offerings. 

Such a subscription provider ought to make enjoy as we've got already visible Nokia set one up inside the shape of its "Circular" provider, as discovered at IFA 2022. 

If you are a regular iPhone client, an Apple product release can create combined feelings. Sure, those new gadgets do appearance tempting — but do they offer sufficient reason to enhance over your current model?

Much depends, obviously, on which version you are already rocking — so our iPhone 14 improve guide breaks down the likely advantages in comparison to iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max, iPhone thirteen mini, all sorts of iPhone 12 and iPhone 11, and iPhone SE (2020) only for genuine measure. Check it out before making a decision whether or not or now not an enhance is proper for you.

For many Tom's Guide writers, the iPhone 14 Pro is the model to get most excited about. It guarantees a gaggle of upgrades over the iPhone thirteen Pro, a few key advantages over the standard model and (with a chunk of luck) the right balance of functions vs charge.

Our Phones Editor Jordan Palmer is one in every of folks that likes the sound of it based totally on all the leaks to this point, as he explains in his feature on the 3 iPhone 14 Pro rumors I’m maximum obsessed with.

We're now just 10 hours far from the start of Apple's event, it's due to kick off at 1 p.M. ET / 10 a.M. PT / 6 p.M. BST. 

As you may have visible in case you've been analyzing this stay blog during the last day, there is a lot that we understand about Apple's new devices heading into the occasion. Or instead, there may be hundreds that we assume we apprehend, due to the truth nothing is 100% superb yet.

However, there are still loads of unknowns too, and our Managing Editor Philip Michaels addresses the ones in his list of the 6 biggest iPhone 14 and Apple Watch eight questions beforehand of the Apple occasion.

One component of iPhone format that always sparks masses of hypothesis concerns the colours of the trendy models. This 12 months, there's tipped to be a modern-day pink hue for the entire range, although probably a tremendous tone for the same old fashions in evaluation to the Pro variations.

Find out what else is predicted in this the front in our guide to the iPhone 14 sunglasses. 

It's no mystery that the iPhone 14 lineup is probably jogging iOS sixteen out of the field, but there can be masses of different iPhones in order to be able to run Apple's new software program software. We're talking each iPhone courting again to the iPhone eight. 

So what must you assume? There's hundreds of extraordinary new abilities, which include a customizable lock display, iCloud Shared Photo Library, the ability to unsend text messages and extra. Our very own Kate Kozuch sheds a few mild at the viable iOS 16 launch date; we assume it in the direction of the release date of the new iPhones and now not right after the Apple occasion. 

iPhone 14 preorders ought to expose up right away after the Apple occasion, and early rumors element to a date of September nine. Our iPhone 14 preorder manual has the whole thing you need to realize approximately getting your fingers on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series early. 

We additionally move over the expenses to assume — starting from $799 for the iPhone 14 Pro all of the manner as much as $1,199 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max — and the provider offers we anticipate. 

One extra issue...Could we without a doubt see a tease of the Apple VR/AR headset?

The present day rumors point to a 2023 launch for Apple's first VR/AR headset, so on the surface it'd not make feel to expose it off at this Apple event. But there are some legitimate reasons to tease this device.

For one, if Apple desires developers to begin growing apps for the rumored realityOS, it's going to want to high the pump in advance than later. Recent logos surely factor to two possible Apple headsets in the Reality One and Reality Pro, and we've got heard the latter ought to price as plenty as $three,000.

With Meta predicted to release the Meta Quest Pro October eleven at its very very own Meta Connect occasion, this can be a manner for Apple to steal Mark Zuckerberg's thunder. But with so many merchandise anticipated to debut at this Apple occasion, my cash is on a tease later down the street. 

If you already private an iPhone thirteen, opportunities are you are no longer going to improve to the iPhone 14. Or must you? The solution is predicated upon lots on whether you're contemplating going with the everyday iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus or the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max.
