The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have gone bigger with 6.3” and 6.9” displays, respectively. They bring a number of upgrades, including 4K @ 120fps video recording (with Dolby Vision). All the upgrades require a slightly longer video, here are the highlights in under 3 minutes:

Both the vanilla iPhone 16 models and the 16 Pro duo support Apple Intelligence. It’s not available yet, but will come as part of iOS 18.1. It will also be supported on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max (as well as iPads and Macs with an M1 chip or later). It will be integrated into many parts of iOS, from rewriting messages to creating custom emojis, from searching and organizing your photo library to bringing Siri into the AI age.

Apple has revamped its wireless headphones with the launch of the AirPods 4. They come in two versions: with and without Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The version with ANC also has Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode.
Health, wellness and improving the lives of our users were the main themes of tonight’s event. Watches are a big part of that, but so are Apple’s headphones. AirPods Pro 2 will be updated with a clinical-grade hearing aid feature that could help people with mild to moderate hearing loss. Don’t know if you need a hearing aid? AirPods Pro 2 can perform a simple 5-minute check from the comfort of your home.
