The new iPhone 16 models come in two sizes: the standard 6.1-inch and the larger 6.7-inch Plus. Both models are powered by the new A18 chip, which includes Apple’s latest Visual Intelligence technology. This feature allows users to learn about objects simply by pointing their camera at them.

The Pro models are available in Black, White, Natural, and Desert.
AirPods 4
The newly announced AirPods 4 maintain a similar design to their predecessors but offer improved comfort. Equipped with the H2 chip, they deliver enhanced audio quality and spatial audio. Active noise cancellation is available as an optional upgrade.
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 features a lighter, thinner design with a larger, rounder screen that is 40% brighter. It includes new software features, such as a sleep apnea detection tool, thanks to Apple Intelligence. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 also gets a new look with a Satin Black titanium finish.
Updates on the Horizon
While some anticipated the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple opted to introduce a refined finish for the Ultra 2. The new Satin Black titanium finish aims to offer a sleek, durable option for the rugged watch.
