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 AirPods Pro 3 hands-on: New design and improved ANC are impressive

Apple's "pro" AirPods were due for an update. Despite continuously upgrading the AirPods Pro 2 with new features since their introduction in 2022, Apple hadn't produced another robust overhaul of its priciest earbuds yet. At today's iPhone 17 event (or iPhone Air event, depending on who you ask), the company unveiled the latest model: the AirPods Pro 3. The company has refined the design, added heart rate sensing, improved active noise cancellation (ANC), delivered live translation and more. And

Everything Apple revealed at the iPhone 17 launch event: iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, AirPods Pro 3 and more

With the start of September comes the promise of crisp, fall-like weather and, like clockwork, new iPhones.

The biggest hardware news comes with the iPhone Air, a new addition to this year’s iPhone lineup. iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro families were revealed, along with updated Apple Watches

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

iPhone 17 Pro hands-on: The unibody and camera plateau feel more significant in person

Surprising absolutely no one, Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air, which CEO Tim Cook said freed the company up to make the Pro handsets the most Pro ever. Here at Apple Park, I was able to take a high speed hands-on demo of the iPhone 17 Pro, and made a beeline for the new Cosmic Orange model. I'm already very taken with the way it looks and feels, and don't even mind the new camera plateau, but maybe that's just because I'm a sucker for change. This isn't a s

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: I compared both, and here's the winner

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Apple announced its new iPhone 17 lineup at the Awe-Dropping Event in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday. After years of playing it safe, the company is experimenting with the design of its phones. The iPhone 17 Pro Max sports its most noticeable (and maybe controversial) design changes in years. By contrast, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, retains its signature look. The two flagship phones feature versatile camera setups, plenty of power, and are filled to

Judge: Anthropic's $1.5B settlement is being shoved "down the throat of authors"

At a hearing Monday, US District Judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic's rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company. Instead, critics fear Anthropic will get off cheaply, striking a deal with authors suing that covers less than 500,0

iPhone 17 First Look: Better Specs, Brighter Screen and Camera Upgrades

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17 at its "awe dropping" event, and aside from a redesigned camera bump on the back, there are plenty of upgrades under the hood and on its display. That may not be enough to move the needle for consumers who picked up last year's iPhone 16, but there's plenty of small upgrades for folks who haven't upgraded in years. The standard iPhone 17 remains the entry-level model of Apple's flagships, with all the new iOS 26 features but not all the spec upgrades that its Pr

iPhone 17 Air is real—here’s what’s new in Apple’s extra-thin handset

An incoming new iPhone model called the iPhone Air has been one of the worst-kept secrets in tech lately, and now Apple has confirmed it at its annual iPhone reveal event. The 6.5-inch iPhone 17 Air combines the CPU and GPU of an iPhone Pro with the camera system of a regular iPhone, all in an extra-thin design (5.6 mm), with a treated titanium frame that is likely to appeal to style-conscious users and some business consumers.

Just One Lonely Product Still Uses Apple’s Lightning Connector—Can You Guess Which One?

While the world focuses on Apple’s latest slew of new products, we are taking a moment for the last bastion of Apple’s proprietary past—the one remaining product with a Lightning connector that, somehow, Apple still sells. We have previously lamented Apple's drawn-out transition to USB-C. It’s been far from quick and far from straightforward, leaving a mess of dongles and confusion in its wake. It was last year, at its September 2024 “Glowtime” event, that Apple made the move to change that, t

Our first look at the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max

There were two surprises for me when I picked up the iPhone 17 Pro. For one, the colors are bold — a nice change of pace from last year’s barely-there pales. But the bigger surprise is just how much has changed about the back of the phone. By all accounts, this still feels like an iPhone, with its soft matte aluminum frame. But the polished camera bar — always an underemphasized design element — now stretches across the back. And a detail I missed during the keynote is how the polished glass po
