Apple just wrapped its annual fall showcase, and it was packed with new hardware. If you’re wondering whether to upgrade, here’s a quick rundown of the biggest announcements. The main event was the reveal of the iPhone 17 lineup, which includes a brand-new, super-slim model called the iPhone Air.
The iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever at 5.6mm and is made of titanium. It has a 6.5-inch screen and starts at $999. The whole iPhone 17 family (Standard, Pro, Pro Max, and Air) gets faster processors, better battery life, and a cool new camera feature called “dual filming” that records from the front and back cameras at the same time. They also come with more storage.
Next up, the AirPods Pro 3. The biggest new feature is live translation, which lets you hear a translated conversation in real-time. This is a huge deal for travelers or anyone communicating across languages. They also have better noise cancellation and come with five different ear-tip sizes for a better fit. The price is $249.
Finally, the Apple Watch Series 11 is doubling down on health. The new watches can now detect and alert you to potential signs of hypertension (high blood pressure). They also feature improved sleep tracking. The new lineup includes refreshed Ultra and SE models as well. All the new products will be available in stores on September 19.
