iPhone 15 lineup & Apple Watch

Apple's September 12 "Wonderlust" event brought us four new iPhone 15 models, a new Apple Watch Series 9, and an Apple Watch Ultra 2. These new Apple Watch and iPhone models feature some practical device performance upgrades (faster, brighter, and more energy-efficient), while being more eco-friendly in their production and design. Apple continues to focus on making its devices more user-friendly, so feature upgrades focused on customization, like the programmable Apple Watch double-tap gesture and the new iPhone 15 Action button that can be set to perform different actions. Let's take a look at the new devices, their upgraded features, and when they'll be available to order!

Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2

At Apple’s September 2023 announcement event, the tech giant revealed the capabilities of its new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. The yearly update to both devices improves the processor to a new S9 chip, which will include AI processing cores for the first time on an Apple Watch. These cores enhance the function of every task that relies on artificial intelligence, from processing photos, to interpreting voice commands, to more accurate typing with autocorrect. Those cores will allow Siri to process some commands on the Apple Watch, without needing to communicate with an iPhone or the cloud. The new chip also enables a whole new gesture the user performs on their watch-arm, without touching the screen. Here’s everything you need to know about Apple’s latest generation of Apple Watches.

Apple announced its fall event, which will almost definitely bring us the iPhone 15 line and possibly some other announcements. It will be held on Tuesday, September 12 at 10 a.m. PT. The event will include in-person events, but as always, the keynote will be streamed so anyone who wants to can watch it live. Here is how you can watch Apple's Wonderlust event.

At the June 5 2023 WWDC Keynote, Apple announced iOS 17 alongside other software updates, new Mac devices, and Apple Vision Pro. While iOS 17 is a more practical update with few new features, there are many great updates to the apps we use most: Phone, Messages, FaceTime, Photos, Health, and more. Keep reading to see the many ways these updates will change the way you use your iPhone this fall.

Apple's Groundbreaking New Headset & Everything Else Announced at WWDC 2023

Apple used its 2023 WWDC keynote to usher in a groundbreaking new era of computing with its new Vision Pro, a spatial computer headset, its first new product in eight years. It also announced the expected software updates to its existing devices, including iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and more.

WWDC 2023: Everything We Can Expect

Apple announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference will be held June 5–9 this year, with the keynote address being delivered on June 5 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. We can expect to hear about iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10 at the keynote, but there are sometimes other surprises in store, and this year it looks like we might be hearing about Apple's new AR/VR headset. Let's go over everything we know about WWDC 2023.

WWDC 2022

Apple has announced its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) Keynote will be held this year on June 6. We're expecting Apple to reveal details on its new iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS, and will likely see a beta launch of these four to six weeks after the conference. For the third year in a row, this will be a digital-only event that is free for developers to attend. Let's take a look at everything we can expect from this year's WWDC.

Apple has created a lot of hype around its new Apple Watches, dropping an extreme sports watch they're calling the Apple Watch Ultra alongside the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) at the tech giant's September 7 "Far Out" event. The new Series 8 contains a few essential new features like fertility tracking and crash detection, while the Ultra increases durability, water resistance, depth pressure, and more.

Apple's April 'Spring Loaded' event brought us a new iPad Pro, but rumor has it that there will be more iPad releases this fall. Reliable Apple leakers are predicting an entry-level iPad that’s cheaper than ever before! Plus, the display on the iPad Mini is expected to get bigger as it loses the Home button.

The annual fall Apple event is on the way, and we're looking forward to the announcement of a new iPad or two, maybe even three or four! This year leaves us with more questions than an Apple announcement would usually generate, since there's Covid-19 to consider. We've gotten used to Apple announcing its new iPhone and iPad lineup in the second week of September, and they're sticking to this trend; this year's announcement is scheduled for September 15, and will be live, but most likely another all-virtual event. Now, let's get to the hardware. It's a given that Apple will release at least one new iPad, but we've heard that it could be an iPad, an iPad Pro, an iPad Air, an iPad mini, or even all four! Let's go over the iPad rumors we've collected about the upcoming Apple announcement, and what we can expect from the iPad(s) that will make their debut. Also, be sure to catch our fall announcement coverage, we'll be commenting live in our Facebook group, and record a special podcast episode right afterward!

New iPhone 14 Pro: 48 MP Camera, Dynamic Island & Always-On

Apple unveiled the Pro line of its iPhone 14 series, featuring the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, at its "Far Out" event on September 7. The most notable change is the move away from the infamous notch to what Apple is calling the "Dynamic Island." This still obstructs your screen to a certain degree, but it looks completely different and changes depending on what you are doing on your iPhone. As always, the iPhone camera got an upgrade, but this time it includes a massive jump from 12 megapixels to 48! Finally, with the switch to the Always-On display, Apple promises all-day battery life on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
