Every fall, Apple puts the tech world on notice and announces a slew of new products.
Right on time, the Cupertino-based company’s September event lasted just under two hours, and the first new tech announced was the Apple Watch 10.

With a 30% increase in screen size, it becomes the Watch’s largest-ever display and is wrapped in a new titanium finish that comes in jet black, rose gold, and silver. Since there’s more real estate, the back is larger and has a larger charging coil, so it charged faster — up to 80% in 30 minutes. On the inside, you can now track your sleep better, and it can even detect sleep apnea. It can also go up to 20 feet deep in water and monitor your temperature. Plus, you can now play audio through its speakers, meaning the whole world can hear your phone calls, music, podcasts, and more.
Prices for the Apple Watch 10 start at $399 and will be available September 20 but is available to preorder now.

Next was the Airpods 4, which comes in a new shape to make them fit in your ears more comfortably, as well as a USB-C charger. New features include more controls for playing and pausing music, active noise cancellation, and transparency mode. Those features are typically found on Pro models, but these are nowhere near that price tag– they’ll only run you $129 and $179. But the coolest feature is that there’s now a clinical-grade hearing aid that Apple’s waiting to get cleared by the FDA before it’s available in over 100 countries.

The last big announcement was the iPhone 16, which comes with more rounded edges. Little else has changed on the exterior, save for the new camera control button, which can detect how hard it is being pressed depending on the features you want to access. The back lenses are bumped down to two, and they will come in white, black, teal, ultramarine, and pink. It is equipped with a faster processor, an updated Siri, a 48MP camera, and a better battery, all for a starting price of $799.

For true Apple fanatics, the most anticipated product is usually the iPhone Pro—and they didn’t disappoint. It’s got the biggest screen ever, thanks to having the thinnest borders on an iPhone yet. The iPhone 16 Pro will start at $999, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will cost $1,199, but that price gets a bigger battery, sleek new colors in white titanium, darker titanium, natural titanium, and desert titanium, and an A18 Pro chip.
