Apple debuted its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, at its Cupertino event, marking the first flagship product launched under new CEO John Ternus.

Apple unveiled the Watch Series 12 with a new 'Audio Intelligence' feature that listens to conversations, letting users rewind the last 15 seconds via Digital Crown tap or ask Siri for a summary afterward.

OtoDock is a new self-hosted platform that lets businesses build AI agents—like a Personal Assistant, System Admin, or Marketing Manager—powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex using a company's own API subscriptions or local models. Each agent has six configurable parts: persona, memory, workspace, knowledge base, and skills, and can be shared across teams or kept private depending on one of four operating modes. Users interact through a self-hosted dashboard or even by phone, and the system supports multi-tenant use so multiple employees can work with the same agents.

The update runs on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and the new SE 3.
Apple announced the Watch Series 12, featuring a new Health Sensing System paired with its S11 chip that enables higher-frequency heart rate and HRV monitoring, along with a new readiness score.

Apple introduced the iPhone Duo at its 'Surprise and shine' event, marking the company's long-rumored entry into foldable phones.

It also supports Apple Pencil input and continues Apple's focus on camera performance.
Reports indicate Apple's upcoming Watch Series 12 will expand beyond fitness and health monitoring to include tracking of conversations. The lineup is also expected to bring back ceramic casing options as part of its design refresh.
Apple unveiled the Watch Ultra 4 and Watch Series 12 with two new agentic audio features, Live Rewind and Siri Recap, which let the watch continuously process ambient sound to summarize conversations or replay recent audio.
