Apple unveiled the Watch Series 12 with a new 'Audio Intelligence' feature that listens to conversations, letting users rewind the last 15 seconds via Digital Crown tap or ask Siri for a summary afterward. The watch also gets a redesigned sensor platform with larger ECG electrodes and PPG photodiodes, plus a returning ceramic case option after several years' absence.
Apple announced the Watch Series 12, featuring a new Health Sensing System paired with its S11 chip that enables higher-frequency heart rate and HRV monitoring, along with a new readiness score. The device also introduces Audio Intelligence features and Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence, while a redesigned Health app with a Longevity tab and Health Age metric is set to arrive later this year.
Apple used its Surprise and Shine event to introduce a redesigned Health app powered by Apple Intelligence, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, AirPods 5 and Apple Watch Ultra 4/Series 12. The app adds a Longevity tab showing a calculated 'health age,' an Insights tab, AI-based movement tests for strength and balance, and paid blood tests through Quest Diagnostics starting at $119. The Apple Watch Series 12 also gains a Readiness score using sleep, activity and vitals data to recommend how hard users should push themselves each day.
Apple confirmed at its 'Surprise and Shine' event that iOS 27 will roll out as a free update on September 14, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The update introduces Siri AI, a revamped assistant built with help from Google's Gemini models, plus refinements to the Liquid Glass interface and various performance upgrades. iOS 27 will support devices going back to the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd gen).
Apple introduced the Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 at its September event, keeping familiar designs but adding faster processors, upgraded health sensors, and the new watchOS 27 software. The sensor update allows continuous heart rate readings every five seconds, and both devices ship alongside watchOS 27's redesigned interface and smarter Siri.
Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro, featuring a variable aperture camera system that gives users more manual control over photos instead of relying solely on computational photography. The device is powered by the new A20 Pro chip, Apple's first 2nm processor, which includes a 6-core CPU, a 7-core GPU with up to 40 percent better performance, and a dual Neural Engine design. Apple also detailed upcoming Siri AI features, powered by large language models, set to launch in October.
Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, featuring a 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture, a smaller Dynamic Island, and the new A20 Pro chip paired with a next-generation vapor chamber for sustained performance. The Pro Max also gets Apple's largest-ever battery life increase, while both models run iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence and a revamped Siri. The phones come in four finishes, including a new burgundy option, with pre-orders starting September 12 and sales beginning September 18.
Apple has unveiled a Reference Image feature on the iPhone 18 Pro that creates a cryptographic signature for photos at the moment of capture, allowing later verification of whether an image has been altered by AI. Using Apple Private Cloud Compute, the system lets users compare an edited photo against its original 'digital negative' and can share these signed authentication records with others. The feature will not roll out in the European Union or China, while Apple's own AI-generated images will instead carry SynthID watermarks.
Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 at its 'Surprise and shine' event, adding upgraded health sensors, audio transcription and summary features, and a new ceramic case option for the Series 12. Both models retain the same starting prices as their predecessors, with the Series 12 at $399 and the Ultra 4 at $799.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, featuring a main camera with dynamic aperture control, a new A20 Pro chip built on 2nm technology, and an enlarged vapor chamber for cooling. Pricing starts at $1,199 for the 18 Pro and $1,299 for the Pro Max, both up $100 from last year, with preorders starting September 12 and availability September 18.
Apple's iOS 27 update overhauls the Home app with Apple Intelligence features, letting it summarize alerts from doorbells and smoke detectors instead of flooding the lock screen with notifications. Cameras gain improved AI-based detection of faces and animals, can stitch together footage of a person moving through multiple rooms, and now record in 4K with AI-generated video descriptions and searchable events. The update also lets users update all Apple TVs at once from the Home app and improves overall app reliability.
A code discovery by developer Aaron Perris references an unreleased Apple TV model tagged 'AppleTV18,1,' suggesting it will use the A19 or A19 Pro chip rather than the previously rumored A17 Pro. This naming pattern mirrors identifiers used for last year's iPhone 17 lineup, where the A19 Pro powered the higher-end models.
