Apple says that the aluminum Apple Watch Series 9 is its first carbon neutral product. You need to pair it with the new Sport Loop for it to be fully carbon neutral though. That makes it interesting that Apple didn’t add one new band option this year: no band at all.

Apple has released what will likely be the shipping version of macOS Sonoma for developer and public beta testers. The new version comes just a few days before macOS 14 is set to officially debut for everyone.

In addition to the new macOS Sonoma RC, Apple has issued minor bug fix and security updates to iOS 17 and watchOS 10 and new shipping macOS releases.

Apple has released new versions of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. The updates introduce new features for iOS 17 and the Mac.

Here’s what’s new in version 13.2 for each iWork app today.

There was a moment during Apple’s Wonderlust event last week where I wondered if maybe the iPhone 15 Plus was enough for me. Then the iPhone 15 Pro Max segment began and the lust set in. I have to give the standard iPhone 15 line kudos for being extremely compelling, all the same.

iOS 17 has only been out a few days, and people are already praising the new autocorrect. That’s great news to anyone who has fumbled with autocorrect over the last few years.

The last time Apple made a big deal about autocorrect, it was about using machine learning and the iPhone install base to make autocorrect smarter than ever. It turns out that might have made autocorrect learn all the wrong lessons.

Do your friends and family keep asking you why your notifications are silenced? If you’re not actually using a Focus mode like Do Not Disturb, this is probably a head-scratcher for you.

One of the wonderful things about relying on indie developers to make great apps is the fact that they almost always adopt new features on day one. Take Tempo 5 for example. Apple just released iOS 17 and watchOS 10 with a new custom workout feature for developers, and Tempo has already baked in support for planning and add custom run, walk, and hike workouts.

September has been an odd month for Apple in France. First there’s the whole iPhone 12 radiation kerfuffle. Now it appears that Apple Store employees in France will strike for the first 48 hours of the iPhone 15 launch.

Lux, which makes the Halide Camera app, has unlocked a whole new vibe with their new HDMI monitor software for iPad.

Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 come out on Friday, and the first round of reviews are in.

To recap, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 are almost entirely about the new S9 chip. This enables on-device Siri processing for some commands, and health queries will be supported later this year. Apple is also adding a new “Double Tap” gesture that lets you select buttons on the screen by pinching your fingers.

Both watches have 1000 nit brighter displays, bringing the Series 9 to 2000 nits and Ultra 2 to 3000 nits. The original Apple Watch peaked at 500 nits before doubling a year later. Speaking of doubling, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 double the 32GB storage capacity to 64GB for the first time. Oh, and there’s an upgraded ultrawideband chip inside.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max hit stores on Friday, and one added feature is the new Action button. Now that we know what all the Action button can do, we’re curious how you think you’ll use the customizable launcher.

Apple is releasing the iPhone 15 Pro on Friday, and with it comes new pro-grade video capture features. Ahead of the launch, Apple has released updates to Final Cut Pro on the Mac and iPad that ensure compatibility with the new phones.

watchOS 10 includes a new Snoopy face for Apple Watch, and the comic strip-inspired clock is full of surprises. In a new interview this week, the team behind the Snoopy face discusses the process behind making such a fun addition to Apple Watch.

iPhone 15/15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max come out on Friday, and the first press reviews are hitting today. All four phones pack loads of changes ranging from the camera system to USB-C and much more. Here’s what the early reviews and hands-on videos have to say so far…

GM continues to hire current and former Apple employees as it rejects CarPlay from its EVs. General Motors has hired former directors of Apple Pay and iCloud to work on GM’s new software and services division, according to a source who shared hiring details with 9to5Mac.

Ready to make your Apple Watch feel brand new? That’s what watchOS 10 will do for you, and the software update is now available to everyone.

Auto-correct is about to get a whole lot better on iPhone. That’s because Apple overhauled how auto-correct works in iOS 17, and that software update is now available for iPhone. iOS 17 also includes loads of new features like interactive widgets, StandBy mode, Live Voicemail, FaceTime voice and video mail, and much more.

Cultured Code is out with a big update for its awesome task manager app Things. The new version is packed with features that take advantage of iOS 17, watchOS 10, and iPadOS 17.

Ah, yes, the product from Apple’s September event that we’ve all been waiting to know more about: AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C. The reviews are in for Apple’s most USB-C AirPods yet…

More than a decade ago, Steve Jobs likely had something in mind for the iPhone camera that was finally realized this week. iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro have the ability to capture depth data from photos with people or pets, allowing you to adjust the focus after the shot. That’s a concept that was reportedly on Jobs’ radar before his death in 2011.

Apple began selling iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro at 8 am ET today, and ship dates for Pro and Pro Max models started slipping into October within 30 minutes. Pro Max models were first to reach November ship dates in just two hours. Likely a sign of high demand, the process has understandably frustrated buyers who couldn’t gain access to Apple’s online store during the first half hour or longer of pre-orders.
