Here are the key highlights from the Apple event: Two new vanilla iPhones, two Pro models, Apple Watch Series 10, and updated AirPods 4 with new features. Features include improved cameras, Dolby Vision, Apple AI integration, and new healthcare capabilities such as a depth gauge, sleep apnea detection, and hearing aids.
Apple Unleashes a Storm of New Devices and Features
The tech giant has introduced not one, not two, but four new devices that are set to shake up the world of smartphones and wearables. At an action-packed event, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4.
The new iPhones come with a host of upgrades, including 4K video recording at 120fps and Dolby Vision. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have grown bigger with 6.3” and 6.9” displays, respectively. They also support Apple Intelligence, which will be available as part of iOS 18.1.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is a major upgrade, featuring a thinner and lighter design with the largest display of any Apple Watch. It also includes a depth gauge for diving, sleep apnea detection, and more.
AirPods 4 were also launched, with two versions available: one with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and one without. The version with ANC also features Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode.
But the event wasn’t just about new devices – it was also about improving the lives of Apple users. The AirPods Pro 2 will be updated with a clinical-grade Hearing Aid feature, which can help people with mild to moderate hearing loss. The headphones can even perform a simple 5-minute check to determine whether a hearing aid is needed.
