While this is not the day Apple will release a revamped, LLM-powered Siri, today’s updates bring multiple welcome additions to the Apple Intelligence feature set. Here are some highlights. During WWDC25, Apple made sure to (almost passive-aggressively) highlight all the Apple Intelligence features it had already released, as it tried to counter the fact that it is behind on AI. Then, it proceeded to announce new Apple Intelligence features, making sure to showcase only the features it was sure

The old debate of form over function remains true with iOS 26 and the final version that launched for all iPhones today. There’s all but a faint whiff of that long-promised Apple Intelligence, though you’ll still find plenty to love and more to complain about with the switch from iOS 18 all the way to the “26” generation. Remember to set aside some storage on iPhone, as the update will demand a good chunk. iOS 26 showed up as 6GB for me on my iPhone 14 Pro, coming from version iOS 18.6. (Apple

Apple's Sleeper Hit of Its Fall Lineup? The Apple Watch SE 3

At Apple's September event, the new iPhone 17 models and AirPods Pro 3 took much of the attention, plus the super-thin iPhone Air and updated Apple Watch Ultra 3. But in this frugal girl's book, the real headliner was the one that snuck in as the real underdog of Apple's entire fall lineup: the Apple Watch SE 3. I usually overlook Apple's SE model because it lacks many of the powerhouse features of the flagship and Ultra editions, like an always-on display or temperature tracking. But this year
