Insta360 unveiled the Luna Pro, a cheaper gimbal camera with a single lens and sensor, unlike the dual-lens Luna Ultra. It shares the Ultra's removable screen, controls, mics and gimbal design, but relies on digital rather than optical zoom, and offers up to 8K30 video, 37-megapixel photos, and notably 4K vertical video capture.
Insta360's new Luna Pro shares most hardware with the flagship Luna Ultra, including the same Leica Summicron 20mm f1.8 lens, 1-inch sensor, 8K/30 and 4K/120 capture, Dolby Vision, 10-bit I-Log and 37MP stills, but uses a smaller single-lens gimbal head that trims about half an inch off the device's height. Storage (47GB expandable), battery (1,550mAh) and the detachable front panel remote/mic carry over unchanged from the Ultra.
Apple has begun accepting preorders for its Series 12 and Ultra 4 smartwatches, both powered by the new S11 chip with upgraded audio and sensor features. The Series 12 starts at $399 for the 42mm model, with a ceramic case option returning for the first time since the Series 5 at $899, while the Ultra 4 starts at $799 with GPS and 5G support. Both devices, available through Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy, ship September 18th alongside the iPhone 18 Pro line.
Apple introduced Siri Recaps, an Audio Intelligence feature on the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 that continuously monitors ambient audio to generate summaries of a wearer's day, including conversations. Apple says the feature processes sound in real time without recording, storing, or transcribing audio, distinguishing it from wake-word-only listening used for Siri commands.
Arm announced a wave of agentic AI-focused updates to its IP portfolio at its Arm Everywhere China event, spanning mobile devices, robotics, and cloud/enterprise infrastructure. Among the highlights is the Mali G2-Ultra NX GPU, which integrates neural accelerators capable of delivering AI graphics performance at under one watt of power for mobile devices.
Apple's new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, available for pre-order now and shipping September 18, introduce an Audio Intelligence system that can transcribe and summarize ambient conversations through features called Live Rewind and Siri Recap. The devices also add Sound Recognition for accessibility alerts and automatic Shazam-based Music Recognition, with both conversation-focused tools entering beta in late 2026.
watchOS 27 introduces a single new watch face called Siri Modular, available on both Apple Watch Series and Ultra models, though the Ultra version offers extra customization like bezel options. The face includes a top line complication, centered time, a wide complication, and three circular complications, with three clock-height styles and multiple color and font choices. The feature is included in today's release candidate build of watchOS 27.
Apple has entered the foldable phone market with its iPhone Duo, adopting the same short, wide 'passport-style' form factor that Samsung recently introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Samsung, which also supplies Apple's folding display components, reported that the Z Fold 8 and its larger Z Fold 8 Ultra variant are selling 30 percent better than last year's Fold 7 in their first month on the market.
Apple's new Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 include four opt-in 'audio intelligence' tools—sound and music recognition, conversation recap, and a 'Live Rewind' feature that transcribes the last 15 seconds of ambient speech. Apple says these features rely on the microphone but don't record or store raw audio, processing most data locally via a new secure chip component called the Secure Exclave, with any cloud processing handled through Apple's Private Cloud Compute system.
Apple unveiled the Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, both built around a new S11 chip and a redesigned Health Sensing System aimed at improving heart rate and heart rate variability tracking. The system uses ring-arranged photodiodes, larger electrodes, and bigger, more efficient green LEDs to measure heart rate every five seconds, with HRV readings taken up to 24 times more often than before. Preorders for both models are now open.
Apple introduced the Watch Series 12 alongside the Ultra 4, iPhone 18 lineup and a foldable iPhone Duo, keeping the smartwatch's exterior design unchanged while overhauling its internals. The update centers on a new S11 processor and redesigned health sensors that improve heart rate accuracy, add deeper recovery tracking, and enable an AI-powered Audio Intelligence feature for transcribing conversations. Despite the upgrades, pricing stays flat at $399 for the Series 12 and $799 for the Ultra 4, even as iPhone 18 Pro prices rose.
Apple introduced the Watch Series 12 at its September event, retaining last year's design but overhauling internals with a new S11 chip and upgraded health sensors. The device gains features like more accurate heart rate tracking, deeper recovery data, and an AI-powered Audio Intelligence tool that can record, transcribe and save conversations. Despite these upgrades and new colors, Apple held the starting price at $399, while the Watch Ultra 4 starts at $799.
