Another year, another iPhone event.

Apple made a slew of announcements on Wednesday at its press event in San Francisco, hitting on everything from the future of iPhones to the future of Super Mario.

If you're just catching up on the whirlwind of news, here's a quick breakdown of everything that happened:

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

As expected, the stars of the show were Apple's two new iPhones: the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus.

For the most part, the upgrades on both devices are more subtle than stark. They don't look too different, but the processors should be faster, the battery life should be better, and the displays should be prettier.

That said, there are some notable changes in these new iPhones.

In rapid-fire form:

• The Home button has been redesigned to resemble the MacBook's Force Touch trackpad.

• New stereo speakers should allow for stronger audio.

• There's stronger water resistance.

• The new phones will start at 32 GB of storage, rather than the usual 16 GB. (The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus will now start with that as well.)

• There are two new colors: a super-glossy jet black and a lighter matte black. The jet black model doesn't have a 32 GB variant, though, and its finish appears to be prone to scratches.

• An updated, 7-megapixel front-facing camera.

• Most significantly, the iPhone 7 Plus will feature two 12-megapixel cameras on its back. We've seen a similar idea on phones like the Huawei P9, but Apple says you'll be able to get better zoom and depth-of-field effects. Business Insider's resident camera expert Rafi Letzter broke down why this is a big deal.

The new phones will be available for preorder on September 9 and for purchase on September 16. The iPhone 7 will start at $649, while the iPhone 7 Plus will start at $769.

The death of the headphone jack.

The biggest shift was the official word that Apple has killed off the headphone jack. As with the Moto Z, any old-school wired headphones you have lying around won't work with the new phones by default.

Regardless of how you feel about that, both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will come with a special dongle that lets you use your existing wired headphones, as well as a pair of Lightning EarPods.
