The Apple Story: The AirPods Pro 2 and 16 Pro Max, Available for Preorders via Apple Intelligence, and Closed-Form Reordering

The iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999 with 128GB of storage, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at $1199 with 256GB of storage. You can preorder the new Pro phones on Friday, September 13th, and they’ll be available on September 20th.

Apple Intelligence is set to be launched next month and all 16 models are ready for it. These features include the ability to search for images in your library by describing them and creating custom emoji.

The over-the- ear AirPods Max received an update from Apple. The device has new colors and a different port for charging.

Later this year, Apple will make the AirPods Pro 2 available as an over-the-counter hearing aid. Apple is adding features to the AirPods Pro 2, which will protect hearing and a clinical-grade hearing test. A free software update will feature these features this fall in over 100 countries and regions.

They feature a smaller USB-C-compatible charging case with a speaker, allowing them to make a noise if you’re trying to locate them with the Find My app. Apple is also bringing active noise cancellation to the next-gen AirPods, but they’re more expensive. The cheaper version with ANC costs $179, while the more expensive one costs $129. They both start shipping on September 20th.

The new H4 chip in the AirPods allows for better audio quality, so Apple has finally given us a look at the device. With an open-ear design, Apple says the new buds are the “most comfortable AirPods” ever. They have features like voice isolation and transparency mode.

The Apple Watch Ultra Launch Launch Launched at the ATLAS Convention on September 20th. A Highlight of the Apple It’s Glowtime Event

Apple didn’t give any updates to the Watch Ultra during the event, but they did give a sleek black finish and titanium Milanese loop band, which Apple says is designed for scuba diving.

The new device comes in a polished aluminum finish in black, with matte options for rose gold and silver or a polished titanium finish that Apple says is 20 percent lighter than the Series 9. The watch will be available on September 20th.

The Apple Watch Series 10 has the thinnest profile yet, along with a larger wide-angle OLED display that Apple says is up to 40 percent brighter when viewed at an angle. It can be used to check for signs of sleep Apnea by measuring breathing problems while you are asleep. The new watch also has a built-in depth and water temperature sensor.

Yet Apple is also outfitting the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button with a new feature, called Visual Intelligence, which will automatically search for things you take photos of. You can use it to snap a photo of a concert poster, and you can also add it to your calendar.

The iPhone 16 has a faster A18 processor to handle new AI features coming to the device. For the 6.1-inch version, the price is $799 and for the 6.7-inch version it’s $899. They are available in white, black, green, pink, and blue and start shipping on September 20th.

Apple ended its “It’s Glowtime” event. The highlight of this showcase was the iPhone 16 and it was only one of several announcements from Apple.
