How to pre-order the new Apple Watch Series 10

Before announcing new handsets during the It's Glowtime iPhone 16 launch event in Cupertino, Apple execs talked up the company's latest suite of smartwatches.

How to pre-order the Apple AirPods 4

Apple revealed its latest earbuds during the iPhone 16 launch event earlier this week: The AirPods 4. Rumors suggested we could get a new generation of AirPods Max, but a few new colors and a USB-C port were the extent of the changes there. Announcements around the AirPods Pro centered on the hearing updates the top-tier buds will receive via a software update this fall.That makes the new AirPods 4 the only brand new addition to Apple’s personal audio lineup. They come in two varieties: With active noise cancellation for $179 and without that feature for $129. Engadget’s Billy Steele…

My iPhone 11 is perfectly fine, but the new buttons on the iPhone 16 are compelling

My iPhone 11 is perfectly fine, but the new buttons on the iPhone 16 are compelling

Last year, I experienced my first iPhone launch cycle at Engadget and the fanfare got to me. It seemed I couldn’t call myself a respectable member of the tech world if I didn’t own any of the shiny new tech. So I headed to the Apple store on the iPhone 15’s opening weekend and put my name in to buy one. As I waited my turn, I idly played with the display model. Holding it up to my iPhone 11, my enthusiasm dimmed. A bright grid of apps, softly rounded corners, one button on the right, two buttons and a…

Apple’s iOS 18 release date is September 16 but is your iPhone compatible? Here are the eligible devices and new features to expect

The Apple Watch Series 10 deserves more than 18-hour battery life

The Apple Watch Series 10 deserves more than 18-hour battery life

Most early impressions of the Apple Watch Series 10 are quite positive. Not only does it have the biggest display yet on any Apple Watch (despite a smaller overall case size than the 49mm Ultra 2), but it weighs less and is somehow thinner than before. The display isn’t just bigger, either — it has improved brightness when viewed at an angle, and the always-on screen can refresh once a second when at rest, rather than once a minute as it did before.Beyond the updated display and some lovely new case options (the new polished titanium and jet black aluminum…

Why are Apple’s AirPods Max still saddled with 2020 hardware?

Why are Apple’s AirPods Max still saddled with 2020 hardware?

As I write this, I’m listening to tunes on my 2020-vintage AirPods Max. Yes, that makes me a bit of an Apple fanboy, and at least six pairs of headphones over them. But for me, they still sound outstanding, have great active noise cancellation and work well with my most-used devices. They also are missing a few features compared to the second-generation AirPods Pro that came out in 2022. That doesn’t bother me, given that they’re almost four years old — but the idea of spending the $550 that Apple is asking for the refreshed version of these headphones announced…
