arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-09 02:45:17

Apple's most famous chips are the A- and M-series processors that power its iPhones, iPads, and Macs, but this year, its effort to build its own wireless chips is starting to bear fruit. Earlier this spring, the iPhone 16e included Apple's C1 modem, furthering Apple's ambitions to shed its dependence on Qualcomm, and today's iPhone Air brought a faster Apple C1X variant, plus something new: the Apple N1, a chip that provides Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support for all of today's new iPhones

Apple acquiesced to my Apple Watch SE 3 demands (mostly)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-09 07:07:26

Earlier this year, I typed up an open letter to Apple, giving the company my unsolicited (but completely free of charge!) suggestions on what it could do to improve its entry-level smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE. Now that the iPhone event has concluded I wanted to see if anyone over in Cupertino took my advice. I asked for a bigger screen, a faster processor and faster charging. I said flashier materials weren't necessary, nor was an always-on display. I also didn't think the watch needed to ha

The Most 'Awe Dropping' Part of Apple's iPhone 17 Event? AI Barely Came Up

The iPhone 17 is here. At Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event, we got the new iPhone 17 lineup, including a new ultra-slim model called the 17 Air, new AirPods Pro 3 and new Apple Watches. But it was what Apple didn't highlight that is most curious to me: its artificial intelligence, named Apple Intelligence. I counted only 11 mentions of "Apple Intelligence" during the 75-minute presentation, and most of them were passing references to how the new devices can support AI or existing features.
