Sage is looking sharp. Apple's big fall event just wrapped up, and we rushed out of the Steve Jobs Theater to get our hands on the latest iPhones. Here's a look at the new iPhone 17, Apple's base model this year, which is joined by the thinner iPhone Air and beefier iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max - there's no Plus this time around. The first place to start is the rear camera. Not because a lot...
Apple's hotly-anticipated Apple event was chock-full of news about updates to AirPods, the Apple Watch, the new suite of iPhones, and more. But during the one-hour-and-fifteen-minute presentation, which was considerably shorter than usual, there was one notable buzzword missing from a good chunk of the fanfare: AI. Although CEO Tim Cook said during the livestream that the company was "...
Inside Apple’s splashy iPhone 17 lineup is a new chip: the N1. It’s a wireless networking chip made in-house by Apple, allowing its devices to support the latest networking technologies, including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and the smart home protocol Thread. Apple previously used chips made by Broadcom to power Bluetooth and Wi-Fi within its smartphones. But now, Apple says the N1 chip will...
That’s a tall battery. Apple just announced a new, official MagSafe battery for the super-slim iPhone Air, but if you were hoping the battery would work with other iPhones, it apparently won’t. According to the product page for the $99 battery, “the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery was created exclusively for iPhone Air,” and the compatibility list includes just the iPhone Air. Apple also has an...
Following Apple's "Awe dropping" event today, we've been able to try out all the new Apple Watch models announced today including the Series 11, the Ultra 3, and the refreshes SE 3. The entry-level Apple Watch SE was last updated in 2022 with the second-generation model, but the new SE 3, which starts at $249 for a 40 millimeter model, has gained some features from older Apple Watch models...
Apple just wrapped its extensive fall hardware keynote, which featured the marquee announcement of the thin iPhone Air, along with other iPhone 17 models, a suite of new Apple Watch wearables, and the new AirPods Pro 3 - phew, that was a lot. All of Apple's new tech is releasing on September 19th. In case you missed out on the event as it happened, don't worry; we've included all of the...
Apple’s new iPhone Air contains more recycled titanium than any of its predecessors, the company announced at the Tuesday Keynote. It’s using 80 percent recycled titanium. The phone as a whole is made with 35 percent recycled material by weight, compared to 30 percent recycled material for the iPhone 17.  The iPhone Air incorporates a thinner, 3-D printed titanium USB-C port to match the...
There were two surprises for me when I picked up the iPhone 17 Pro. For one, the colors are bold - a nice change of pace from last year's barely-there pales. But the bigger surprise is just how much has changed about the back of the phone. By all accounts, this still feels like an iPhone, with its soft matte aluminum frame. But the polished camera bar - always an underemphasized design...
We’ve seen the light. Apple just announced the iPhone Air, which, as you might guess by the name, is something Apple is marketing as extremely thin and light. It's 5.6mm thin and has a ProMotion display, one camera, Apple's Ceramic Shield 2 glass on both sides, and an A19 Pro chip. But what does it actually feel like to hold? I (Allison) got to actually pick up the phone at Apple's launch...
If you’ve been hoping for a faster way to dismiss calls and alarms on your Apple Watch, you’ll soon be able to upgrade to watchOS 26 and take advantage of a new wrist flick gesture. First announced at WWDC 2025, watchOS 26 has already been available to developers and those willing to try the public betas, but starting on September 15th it will be available to everyone — or at least those...
