The Apple Watch Series 10 is Apple’s slimmest watch yet, with a larger display thanks to its wide-angle OLED screen. The body is a mix of titanium and aluminium, with finishes available in black, gold, or natural. On the health front, it steps up with improved women's health features, plus there’s a new tides app that tracks shorelines worldwide—perfect for snorkelling enthusiasts. Charging is faster now, too. Pricing starts at $399 for the GPS model and goes up to $499 for the cellular version.

As for the Ultra, it sticks with the 2nd generation but introduces a sleek new black titanium option.

Apple's keeping the updates coming, and now it's time for the new AirPods 4. These wireless earbuds sport a fresh design and pack the H2 chip, which powers "personalized" spatial audio even in their open-air style. The charging case is the smallest Apple’s ever made for AirPods and, in a big move, now supports USB-C charging—goodbye, Lightning!

For the over-ear lovers, Apple has also refreshed the AirPods Max. The sleek headphones now come in new colours like midnight, blue, purple, orange, and starlight, and they've added a USB-C port as well.

The AirPods 4 come in two versions: the base model and another with active noise cancellation. Both look similar, but the ANC model gives you that extra sound isolation. Pricing starts at $129 for the regular model, and $179 for the noise-cancelling version. Pre-orders start today, with availability from Sept. 20.

No AirPods Pro 3 just yet, but Apple is introducing some new health features to the AirPods Pro 2, keeping things interesting for current users.

Powered by the new A18 chip, Apple Intelligence plays a big role, integrating AI into everything from messaging to photos. New AI tools include text summarisation, emoji and image generation, and even visual intelligence, which can scan real-world objects for information. Siri also gets smarter, allowing you to adjust commands on the fly. For gamers, the A18 chip offers 30% more gaming power with improved thermal management and hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting. The iPhone 16 starts at $799, and the 16 Plus begins at $899.

The iPhone 16 Pro boasts thinner bezels to highlight its new ProMotion display, while the iPhone 16 Pro, despite claims of a "stunning new design," looks quite similar to the iPhone 15 Pro. You can choose from four finishes: darker black titanium, brighter white titanium, natural titanium, and the new desert titanium.

Powered by the A18 Pro chip, it features a 16-core neural engine with 17% more bandwidth than the A17 Pro, and a 6-core GPU offering double the ray tracing performance for enhanced gaming.

Camera upgrades include a 48-megapixel fusion camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, and a 5x telephoto lens. The iPhone 16 Pro can also shoot 4K video at 120 fps for cinematic slow-motion shots. Apple includes four studio-quality mics for spatial audio capture, along with an AI-powered Audio Mix feature that lets you adjust background noise and speech balance.

The iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999, and the Pro Max starts at $1,199.
