Struggling With Sleep? This Rechargeable Sound Machine Is A Total Game-Changer
1. The iPhone Air
During the event, which took place on Tuesday, September 9th in Cupertino, California, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 17 products, as well as probably the most talked about product in the lineup - the iPhone Air. The new, super-light smartphone is the thinnest iPhone ever made at a mere 5.6 mm. Still, it's made with heavy-duty titanium, making it just as valuable and powerful as an iPhone, but one that takes up a lot less space in your pocket or bag.
Apple fans will know that this isn't the first time they've introduced an 'air' product, as their MacBook Air computers continue to be a popular choice among their customers today. However, the new phone model presents a whole new way to enjoy the iPhone user experience, with less weight and more features.
2. iPhone 17 Camera Upgrades
It seems that every time Apple releases a new iPhone series, they find ways to improve their smartphone cameras, and apparently, the new camera upgrades made for this series are next-level. Apple has significantly boosted the image‐capture hardware on the iPhone 17 Pro models by upgrading all three rear lenses, the cameras on the back of the phones, to 48 megapixels. If you're not familiar with the tech language, this essentially means sharper detail in pictures, especially when zooming or cropping photos. Additionally, the telephoto lens will now offer up to 8× optical zoom, allowing users to take even better pictures of things that are farther away - great news for concert goers and nature photographers!
3. Apple Watch Series 11 With Upgraded Batteries
One of the most popular tech accessories these days is the Apple Watch, which helps people not only keep track of their health, nutrition, and workouts, but also keeps them connected via texts, phone calls, calendars, and more. There are so many Apple customers out there who are reliant on their watches, and it looks like things will only get better for those who can upgrade to their upcoming Series 11 watches.
These new watches will have sleek and large displays and include improved, special features like high-tech sensors that can further help people monitor their heart rate and more. The watches also have improved batteries, with Apple promising "big-time battery life with up to 24 hours of normal use on a full charge," indicating good news to those who rely on the watches to get them through long work days.
4. AirPods Pro 3 With Noise Cancellation
The new AirPods Pro 3 seem to be Apple's most advanced earbuds yet, and excitedly, they feature noise cancellation that is stronger than before. Users will be able to go back and forth between different settings, either cancelling excess noise or turning on Transparency Mode when they want to listen to music or talk on the phone but need to be aware of their surroundings. There's also an added heart rate sensor so you can keep an eye on your health during workouts while you listen to music or take calls, and the earbuds' battery life is advertised as better, with up to eight hours of listening time, even when noise cancellation is turned on.
