Apple unveils newest iPhones and watch

CUPERTINO, Calif. (KGO) -- Consumers are going to have to dig deep into their wallets and purses if they want to upgrade to one of Apple's new iPhones revealed Tuesday morning.

Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed the new highly anticipated iPhones, a new smartwatch and new version of the Apple TV streaming device during an event at the Steve Jobs Theater on its new campus in Cupertino today.
