Apple just unveiled its latest lineup of iPhones and Apple Watches and, even if you don’t plan on upgrading, you’ll soon be able to update your existing gadgets.
With the launch of the new products, Apple will also officially release the latest versions of its software, including watchOS 5 and tvOS 12. Both updates will arrive on September 17, alongside iOS 12.
First unveiled in June at WWDC, watchOS 5 adds a suite of new features, including support for podcasts and improved Siri integration (you no longer need to begin queries with “Hey Siri”). The update also makes some web pages viewable directly on your wrist — a first for the Apple Watch — and adds a new Walkie-Talkie feature. Read more…

Well this is pretty dang cute.
Immediately following Wednesday’s Apple event, Beats announced that it would release over-ear headphones in two new colors, and three bright new colors for its Lightning Connector headphones.
The best part? Since Apple owns Beats, all the headphones match the new iPhones.

Apple debuted the iPhone XS, XS Max, and iPhone XR on Wednesday. The phones in the impressive lineup all come with Face ID technology, no home buttons, and, obviously most important of all — fancy ‘n fun colors.
The XS models come in Space Gray, silver, and gold finishes. Correspondingly, Beats Solo3 Wireless on-ear headphones will now be available in Satin Gold and Satin Silver. Ooooh. Pretty nice, if you’re into matching. Read more…

Fresh from the “you gotta be kidding me!” department: the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR don’t have headphone jacks, and they don’t even come with a 3.5mm-to-lightning dongle.
Yes, that goes even for the nearly-$1,500 512GB iPhone XS Max.
That means if you want to use wired headphones or any other gadget that has a 3.5mm plug with your iPhone, you’ll have to buy the dongle separately, for $9.
I’ve lived in dongle hell for a year now, with the iPhone X as my main phone and a 2017 MacBook Pro as my main computer, and I can tell you that dongles are still must-have items. And that’s even if you primarily use wireless headphones. I literally used the headphone dongle today, to plug my iPhone X into a music player at the gym — just because your iPhone is up to date doesn’t mean the rest of the world is. Read more…

The more affordable iPhone XR, announced Wednesday at the big Apple Event, is no entry-level device.
It has a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD, a TrueDepth sensor on the front, and the A12 Bionic chip inside. The back has a single 12-megapixel camera that can capture the popular Bokeh effect. Its more expensive siblings, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, have dual rear cameras.
The iPhone XR is colorful though – coming in more shades than the other new iPhones, including white, black, blue, coral, yellow, and red. The iPhone XR will start at $749 and will be available in 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB storage sizes. Compare that to a $999 starting price for the XS and $1099 for the XS Max. Read more…

It’s that time of the year again: Apple just held its special media event where it announced a bunch of new iPhones. And this year, we were also treated to a company update of various milestones and records being broken by the company.
At the start of today’s event, after a pre-taped Mission Impossible-themed comedy sketch that preluded the event, Apple CEO Tim Cook stepped onstage.
In his keynote speech, Cook announced that more than 500 million people visit the Apple store each year. While photos of Apple’s physical retail locations appeared on the screen behind him, it’s unclear whether or not this includes visitors to Apple’s online stores as well. Read more…

Apple will release macOS Mojave on September 24. Here’s what’s coming.

At today’s big event, Apple updated its “coming this fall” release of its latest operating system, macOS Mojave, and announced its official drop date: September 24, 2018.
First announced at the 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, the latest Apple operating system will be bringing some cool new features to Mac laptops and desktops. And we know they’re cool because developers have been playing with the beta versions of Mojave, which will officially be macOS version 10.14, since June of this year.
Perhaps one of the most anticipated features of macOS Mojave is dark mode. It seems like every application is getting a dark mode these days and the newest macOS is no exception. Dark mode will be able to turn everything from menu bars to app windows, well, darker, which some users find easier on the eyes. Read more…

The “affordable” iPhone is real.
Apple has just announced the iPhone XR, a 6.1-inch smartphone with a notch-adorned LCD screen.
Compared to the freshly announced iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, the iPhone XR is both similar and very different.
It has the same A12 Bionic chip and the same TrueDepth camera with Face ID. It runs the same operating system: Apple’s iOS 12.
But many things aren’t the same. The iPhone XR has a “Liquid Retina” screen with a 1,792×828 pixel resolution and 1.4 million pixels — the XS models get “Super Retina” screen with higher resolution. It’s resistant to dust and water, but only up to IP67 specifications — the XS models get IP68 specs. Read more…

The Apple Watch Series 4 finally goes edge-to-edge

Guys, isn’t growth beautiful? So proud of Apple for how far it’s come, watch-wise. 😪
At its product event Wednesday, Apple unveiled a brand spankin’ new smartwatch: the Apple Watch Series 4.
While the Series 3 seriously ramped up the Watch’s abilities by adding GPS and LTE connectivity, the 4 now constitutes the most significant product redesign since the Watch’s original launch in 2015. That’s due to a more efficient size, more powerful guts, and truly impressive health and heart monitoring features —that are now approved by the FDA.

Lets talk specs. The screen size of the Apple Watch has increased by over 30 percent. However, the actual volume of the watch is slimmer than the Series 3. Apple achieved this by decreasing the size of the bezels (the black space around the screen), and by building up to and around the rounded edges of the watch. Read more…
