Apple unveiled not just one new version of the iPhone X, but three, in its biggest event of the year.
Among the trio is Apple's largest ever phone – the iPhone Xs Max – which features the biggest display that Apple has ever put in a phone.
Many details about that new phone, including its shiny gold colour, were accidentally leaked by Apple ahead of the event. The other two devices are the slightly smaller iPhone Xs and the cheaper iPhone Xr version.
But it wasn't just the iPhones that were revealed at the event. Lots more was announced, including huge updates to the Apple Watch and long-awaited new accessories.
The new Apple Watch was also leaked ahead of the event, showing the first re-design of the wearable since it was released.
