Here’s everything Apple didn’t announce during its ‘Awe Dropping’ event

For an event that lasted less than 1 hour and 20 minutes, Apple managed to pack quite a lot of new devices and features into its lineup. Still, some had been expecting a little bit more. Here’s what Apple decided not to include in today’s event, some of which may still come by the end of the year. AirPods Pro 3 with infrared camera sensor For the past few days, there were rumors indicating that Apple would release two AirPods Pro 3 versions: the one that was actually announced today, and an in

iPhone 17 Pro reintroduces a glass cutout for 5G mmWave antenna on U.S. models

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup today, and the new iPhone 17 Pro models include an interesting new design quirk that the company just got rid of with the iPhone 16 lineup: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough. This time though, it’s on the top of the phone. Ever since iPhone 12, Apple has included 5G mmWave support on the iPhones in the US, with the exception of iPhone 16e and the new iPhone Air. On iPhone 12 through 15, there was a glass cutout on the right side of the phone for thi

AirPods Pro 3 Can Translate Conversations Live in Your Ear

At Apple's "awe dropping" event on Sept. 9, Apple made Live Translation the signature trick for the newly announced AirPods Pro 3. A simple gesture on the AirPods Pro 3 starts the Live Translation session. Apple Intelligence parses what someone nearby says and plays the translation back in your preferred language, right in your ear, while your iPhone shows (and can speak) your reply. Your iPhone displays your reply in their language and can read it aloud. Apple When both people wear compatibl

I Was Right Yet Again: iOS 26 Is Coming Monday, Sept. 15

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it said at the time it would release the update to the general public this fall. So I looked at past Apple events in September and earlier iOS releases to predict when the company would release iOS 26. And I was right. Apple announced online that iOS 26 will be released as a free update on Monday, Sept. 15. That means everyone has less than a week until iPhones can get new features like a Liquid Glass design, call screen

SAP warns of high-severity vulnerabilities in multiple products

As hackers exploit a high-severity vulnerability in SAP’s flagship Enterprise Resource Planning software product, the software maker is warning users of more than two dozen newly detected vulnerabilities in its other widely used products, including a security flaw with a maximum-severity rating of 10. SAP on Tuesday said the highest-severity vulnerability—with a rating of 10 out of a possible 10—was found in NetWeaver, a platform that serves as the technical foundation for many of the company’s

How to watch Apple debut the iPhone 17 lineup today at its 'Awe Dropping' event

We've officially made it to iPhone season (it comes around every September), and today, Apple is finally going to showcase its latest iPhone 17 lineup. That means we'll get to separate fact from rumor once and for all. Apple has dubbed the upcoming event "Awe dropping," so we're hoping for several big announcements that'll warrant the tagline. The show starts at 1PM ET/10AM PT. If you want to tune in to hear what Tim Cook and crew have to say about the presumed iPhone 17, you can stream the sho

iPhone Air hands-on: The super sleek precursor to Apple’s upcoming foldable

Apple might not admit it (at least not yet), but the iPhone Air is more than just a slimmed-down version of the company's latest handset or a more sophisticated take on its usual Plus model. It's a super sleek preview of its upcoming foldable. Now this might seem like a stretch and there's something to be said about the difference between a traditional OLED display and one that's meant to be bent. However, the arrival of a foldable iPhone has become one of the tech world's worst-kept secrets. S

Signourney Weaver Is a Fan of ‘Alien: Earth,’ Too

We’re on record saying just how good the new FX show Alien: Earth is but who are we? Just some weird website that writes about pop culture and technology. The real voices you want to weigh in on an Alien show are the people who are a part of it, and at the top of that list is Sigourney Weaver. Weaver played Ellen Ripley, or some version of her, in four Alien movies from 1979 to 1997 and is clearly the go-to when it comes to Alien. Especially because she, unlike original director Ridley Scott, h

I Struggle With Health Anxiety and Apple's Watch Series 11 Scares Me. Here's Why

A few years ago, I was convinced I was about to die. And while (spoiler alert) I didn't, my severe health anxiety and tendency to assume the worst has persisted. But the increase of health-tracking smart devices like Apple's newly announced Apple Watch Series 11 -- along with new ways that AI tries to make sense of our body's data has led me to make an important decision. For my own peace of mind, AI and constant tracking needs to stay far away from my personal health. I'll explain. Sometime ar

Apple AirPods Pro 3 challenges Pixel’s Voice Translate with its own translation feature

TL;DR Apple has launched the AirPods Pro 3. The company’s new earbuds offer a couple of new features, like heart rate monitoring and live translation. The earbuds will go on sale on September 19 for $249. If you’re an Apple fan, then you probably know it’s iPhone 17 launch day.

Here’s what you need to know. D

Apple launches new TechWoven material for iPhone 17 cases

After the disaster that was FineWoven two years ago, Apple is back again with another attempt to replace its leather cases with something more environmentally friendly than leather, and more stylish and premium than its base silicone range. The new TechWoven cases have a new fine-knit weave appearance. We’ll obviously have to wait for these cases to get into people’s hands to assess their durability. Apple says the TechWoven case is made from a custom technical fabric, using 100% recycled poly

The new Live Translation feature also works with AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4

Apple just unveiled the brand new AirPods Pro 3, including a flashy Live Translation feature. But it turns out you don’t actually need to upgrade just to try out the new translation stuff. Apple says that Live Translation will also be available through a software update for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. However, there is a slight gotcha … If you have compatible AirPods, that’s only half the story, as the feature does not run natively on the AirPods itself. It actu

How to pre-order the AirPods Pro 3

It's been about three years since the last update to AirPods, the length of time Apple usually waits before major hardware upgrades. We expected some big jumps in the new AirPods, and Apple delivered. The Pro 3 brings more health-focused features to AirPods, including a heart rate monitor and calories-burned counter that can feed back to an iPhone or Apple Watch. It also boosted the audio experience itself, with a new design that mimics surround sound as well as two small earbuds possibly can.

Apple's AirPods 4 with ANC and AirPods Pro 2 will also support Live Translation

Apple revealed a language translation feature for the upcoming AirPods 3 Pro earbuds at today's iPhone event. Here's some good news for those who don't want to shell out $249 for some new and shiny in-ear headphones. The tool is also coming to the AirPods 4 with ANC and AirPods Pro 2 models. This requires the latest firmware and an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone running iOS 26 and later. For the uninitiated, Live Translation is exactly what it sounds like. The software translates languages i

Apple brings live translation feature to AirPods Pro

Apple today announced the new AirPods Pro 3, the next-generation of AirPods hardware. One of the big new software features is Live Translation. By tapping on the stems of both buds, AirPods enter a new translation mode which cancels out background noise and listens in to your conversations. When it hears a foreign language it can understand, you hear the translated version spoken back to you through your AirPods. Apple said the new Live Translation feature is powered by Apple Intelligence, usi

The iPhone 17 boasts a larger display with ProMotion support and a 120Hz refresh rate

In an absolute shocker, an early September Apple event included the official reveal of the iPhone 17. Who could have seen that coming? Arguably the biggest change this time around — in the most literal sense — concerns the display. At 6.3 inches, it's larger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch screen. Sorry to iPhone users with smaller hands and anyone else who is fed up of every phone becoming more of a phablet. The bezels are thinner too. Not only is the iPhone 17 screen larger than the one on its

Ramp says it has hit $1B in annualized revenue

In Brief On Tuesday, Ramp answered any lingering questions as to why investors recently valued the expense management startup at $22.5 billion, just 45 days after a previous funding round valued it at $16 billion: the company says it has achieved $1 billion in annualized revenue. Annualized revenue refers to a company’s current revenue rate projected over a full year. In March, co-founder and CEO Eric Glyman told TechCrunch that Ramp had hit annualized revenue of $700 million. That’s $300 mill

No Man's Sky Players Are Competing to Create the Goofiest Spaceships Imaginable

Procedurally-generated open exploration game No Man's Sky recently got one of its biggest updates ever, a whopping nine years after it was first launched, allowing players to customize their own spaceships to a baffling level of detail — and the resulting creativity is truly out of this world. The "Voyagers" update, which rolled out late last month, adds the ability to decorate enormous "Corvette"-class ships to an unprecedented — and sometimes hilarious — degree. The update proved to be incre

Expect the iPhone 17 event to avoid Apple Intelligence promises

It’s finally the day of the Apple event, and everyone is eagerly awaiting the official launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. 9to5Mac readers are mostly power users, so it’s no surprise that the thing you’re most looking forward to is the unveiling of the iPhone 17 Pro Max – though there is also substantial interest in the all-new iPhone 17 Air. While we’re expecting a fairly packed event, there’s likely to be one significant difference from last year’s iPhone 16 launch: a conspicuous absence of Apple
