Yesterday, Apple revealed new devices, phones and options during a 2 hour presser. The most talked about is the unveiling of two new iPhones that are substantially larger than phones of the past. The phones, which will be available on September 18,  come preloaded with the forthcoming operating system release, iOS8.  Also, after tremendous buzz, Apple finally released its wearable Apple Watch, which comes with a pretty hefty sticker price. Also notable is the announcement of Apple Pay which will let device owners make purchases at select retail online and brick-and-mortar merchants using their phones. Think the Starbucks instant pay app but for over 100,000 of stores following its October 2014 roll out.

For details, here is a listing of 22 tech blogs and news sites that have written up more about the release and the products, some with reviews and predictions:
