Apple Intelligence Predictions for the Next-Generation AirPods: Is The Apple iPad Pro Ready For Everyday?
The iPhone 16 Pro has a 48MP “Fusion camera,” a new 48MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP 5x telephoto camera — which, on the regular iPhone 16 Pro, has the tetraprism design that was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The new Camera Control button is found in the iPhone 16 lineup, and Apple says it’ll be included in a software update later this year. Apple is introducing new photo styles, and you can change the styles in your photos after you take the picture. The iPhone 16 Pro will also be able to capture 4K video at 120fps, and you can adjust playback speed after capture in the Photos app.
All of the iPhone 16 models are ready for Apple Intelligence — the new AI features Apple is launching in beta next month starting in English. These features include the ability to search for images in your library by describing them and creating custom emoji.
Apple also had a small update to its over-the-ear AirPods Max. It’s offering the device in some new colors and switched out the Lightning charging port for USB-C.
Later this year, Apple will make the AirPods Pro 2 available as an over-the-counter hearing aid. Apple is launching a couple of other hearing-focused features on the AirPods Pro 2, including a feature designed to protect hearing and a clinical-grade hearing test. More than 100 countries and regions will get these features in a free software update this fall.
If you try to find them using the Find My app, a smaller charging case with a speaker will make a noise. Apple is also bringing active noise cancellation to the next-gen AirPods, but they’re more expensive. The cheaper AirPods model costs $129, while the version with ANC costs $179. They both start shipping on September 20th.
Apple has finally taken the wraps off the AirPods 4, which come with a new H4 chip that allows for better audio quality. The new buds are the most comfortable, with an open- ear design. Voice isolation and transparency mode are features that come with them.
Announcements of the Apple Watch Series 10 and Other New Products at Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” Event on September 20th
The Watch Ultra didn’t get any major updates during the event, but Apple announced a sleek black finish and titanium Milanese loop band that is designed for scuba diving.
Apple says the Series 9 is 20 percent lighter than the new device with polished aluminum, rose gold and silver finish, and titanium finish. The Watch Series 10 will be available on September 20th.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the lightest yet and features a bigger wide-angle screen that Apple says is up to 40% brighter at an angle. It’s also capable of detecting signs of sleep apnea by measuring breathing disturbances while you’re asleep. The watch has a built-in depth and water temperature sensor.
Yet Apple is also outfitting the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button with a new feature, called Visual Intelligence, which will automatically search for things you take photos of. You can also use it to perform actions, such as snapping a photo of a concert poster and easily adding it to your calendar.
The A18 processor of the iPhone 16 is more efficient compared to the older A13 processor. The 6.1-inch iPhone 16 starts at $799 and $899 for the 6.7-inch Plus version. They are available in white, black, green, pink, and blue and start shipping on September 20th.
It is the end of Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event. There were several other announcements at the showcase, including some new additions to its watch and earphones lineups.
