COO exit creates unanswered questions about Apple Watch and Health future

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-08-25 05:23:05

Apple made an interesting omission in yesterday’s chief operating officer transition announcement. Design, which previously reported to COO Jeff Williams, will soon report to CEO Tim Cook, but the press release stopped short of explaining where Williams’ other product responsibility will go when he leaves. What happens to Apple Watch and Health after the COO transition? Operations veteran Sabih Khan will take over as COO later this month, but Jeff Williams will hang around the company throug

The Apple Watch 10 is one of my favorite wearables - and it's 30% off during Amazon Prime Day

A cheaper Apple Vision is still a few years away

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-08-25 09:35:35

Last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that a cheaper model of Apple Vision Pro wasn’t due until late 2027. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now corroborated that timeline in a new report that says the device, codenamed N100, will be both “lighter and cheaper”. However, the device’s design has not yet been finalized. Work on the project is apparently expected to be finished in 2026, with a ramp up to a public launch in 2027.

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-08-25 09:43:00

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months. The iOS 26 strategy shift Apple’s change in strategy was clearly driven by what happened at WWDC 2024 and during the subsequent iOS 18 cycle.
