iPhone Air is unlike any smartphone you’ve ever experienced before. iPhone Air is a total game changer. And iPhone Air is so light that you’ll need to use the new Apple crossbody strap with it, because if you accidentally release the thing from your grasp, it will soar up to the heavens like a helium-filled balloon. Apple CEO Tim Cook definitely said at least two of those things at the company’s September event, causing me to emit some air of my own (Sighing! I’m talking about sighing!) at yet another waft of Apple hyperbole. Look, it’s not that the iPhone Air is…

Apple announced its new iPhone 17 lineup during its “Awe dropping” event on Tuesday. As expected, the company introduced the iPhone 17, the flagship iPhone 17 Pro, and a bigger iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 fleet of phones took the spotlight during Apple’s “Awe dropping” event. If you weren’t tempted by the new phones, the fact that the entire Apple Watch lineup got refreshed might have been even bigger news to you.

Apple just announced arguably its boldest Pro iPhone color ever: the new “cosmic orange” for the iPhone 17 Pro. And to my surprise, I think it looks really good.In choosing a bold hue as its hero shade for the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple also seems to have nailed one of the season’s hottest colors. Orange showed up a lot on fashion runways earlier this year, and orange-y citrus shades were one of this summer’s color trends, according to Vogue.And on the iPhone 17 Pro, it’s a deep orange that really pops. Based on Apple’s photos and the ones we took…

And there’s also a super-thin iPhone Air as well. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge, that will likely have a smaller battery but sleeker finish. You can read more about the iPhone 17 in our dedicated piece – but when will it actually be out? We now know iPhone 17 pre-orders start on Friday 12 September with the general iPhone 17 release date on Friday 19 September. How…

It’s less noticeable than a thinner profile or trick camera lenses, but Apple is pointing out another upgrade in the iPhone 17 family of phones that it says is part of “the most significant upgrade to memory safety in the history of consumer operating systems.” Explicitly targeting the spyware industry that produces exploits for tools like Pegasus to hack on targeted devices, a series of changes in Apple’s chips, OS, and development tools are part of what it calls Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE).With the introduction of the iPhone 17 lineup and iPhone Air, we’re excited to deliver Memory Integrity Enforcement:…

While most of today’s focus has been on the iPhone 17, Apple also used its event today to announce the AirPods Pro 3. While they may look similar to the old ones at first glance, these are anything but a minor refresh. With a faster chip, better audio, new health tracking features, and design tweaks, they’re definitely worth considering if you’re due an upgrade. The new H3 chip powers everything this time around. It boosts Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Transparency, and overall audio quality. Apple reckons noise cancellation is 2x better than AirPods Pro 2 and 4x better than the…

There’s no iPhone 17 Plus this year, ditching the larger base-model option. Instead, we’ve got a new addition to the latest smartphones: the iPhone Air. It’s lighter, thinner, and more expensive, which probably tells you everything you need to know. Apple’s not just shuffling names for fun – this is a strategy shift, and the Plus has quietly been shown the door. We’ve now seen a few years of the Plus-size iPhone. It gave buyers a bigger screen and bigger battery without needing to fork out for a Pro Max. But for 2025, Apple decided the middle child wasn’t pulling…

At today’s Apple event, the tech giant’s rugged smartwatch got a major update with the Apple Watch Ultra 3. It looks almost identical to the Ultra 2, but this time around hides some massive new upgrades inside. Apple shrunk the bezels by 42% to make the screen even bigger. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 features a 2.12in display, up from 1.93in, with a higher 422×514 resolution. It’s the largest display on any Apple Watch – including the new Series 11. Under the hood is the new S10 chip with a dedicated neural engine for handling Apple Intelligence and personalised fitness…

There are now three generations of AirPods Pro, and if you’re still clinging to your AirPods Pro 2 like they’re sacred relics, you might be wondering if Apple’s shiny new AirPods Pro 3 are actually worth the upgrade. Both wireless buds are unmistakably Apple, both are loaded with features, and both look like they’ve been nicked from a futuristic dental clinic. But AirPods Pro 3 go a step further. From proper in-ear fit upgrades to double the ANC power and even built-in heart rate sensors, there’s more going on here than just a new name. So how do AirPods Pro…
