Apple introduced new devices on Monday. In addition to the iPhone 16, there are new Apple Watch models and new headphones. According to Apple, it designed the iPhone “from the ground up” for the new AI Apple Intelligence. Photos and Euro prices coming soon!
The new features at a glance:
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 is Apple’s thinnest watch to date. The display is also larger than previous models, even larger than the Apple Watch Ultra. The screen area has increased by up to 30%. The brightness has been increased, which should be particularly helpful when looking at the display from the side.
The material that Apple uses is new. Instead of stainless steel, the case is now made of titanium. The corners of the case are more rounded. Apple has installed the S10 chip in the watch. The image playback can be throttled to 1 Hz. The new Apple Watch also charges faster. This means that 80 percent can be reached in half an hour.
As expected, Apple is introducing a new health function. The watch will now be able to detect sleep apnea and warn the user. This is particularly helpful because the condition has not been diagnosed in around 80 percent of those affected. The function will also be available retroactively for watchOS 9.
The Apple Watch Series 10 costs $399 and will be available September 20.
Apple Watch Series 2
Apple touts the more expensive version of the watch as the “ultimate sports watch.” It emphasizes the particularly accurate GPS and the additional health and sports functions. The Apple Watch Ultra costs $799.
AirPods
The AirPods are also getting a new edition, now in their fourth generation. Improvements include making phone calls with more efficient isolation of the voice from background noise. The charging port is being switched to USB-C. The AirPods cost 139 US dollars.
The more expensive version is available for 179 euros. Like the more expensive Pro version, this one features Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for the first time. Another new feature is the speaker in the charging case, which is designed to help you find lost headphones.
AirPods Max
There is only a small update to the over-ear headphones, including new colors and a USB-C charging port. The price of $549 remains the same.
AirPods Pro 2
The premium model has three new health functions. The AirPods Pro now serve as hearing protection, which is intended to be useful in noisy environments. It is also possible to do a hearing test with the AirPods Pro. And the in-ear headphones can also be used as a type of hearing aid.
