As the iPhone 15 is getting USB-C to replace the Lightning connector, Apple is also updating some of its accessories with USB-C – and that includes AirPods. During Tuesday’s special event, the company introduced a new USB-C charging case for AirPods Pro 2, which will be available by default for those buying new AirPods Pro.

Apple on Tuesday officially announced Apple Watch Series 9, the next generation of its smartwatch, during the company’s special “Wonderlust” event. The new version of the Apple Watch comes in a design that’s identical to the previous generation, but now with a faster processor and improved sensors.

Apple is holding a special event tomorrow, and by now, we all know what to expect from it: new iPhones and Apple Watches. Of course, the company may have a few surprises for Tuesday, such as new versions of its accessories to add USB-C. But there are three things we shouldn’t expect from Apple’s September event.

The iPhone 15 lineup is just around the corner, as Apple will be holding a special event to unveil its new phones tomorrow. According to rumors, all the new models will get camera upgrades – but the upgrades will be more significant on the Pro Max model. Read on as we detail what to expect from the cameras on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

We’re just a few days away from Apple’s special event when the company will announce the iPhone 15 and also new Apple Watch models. The rumors have been pretty consistent in pointing out that we shouldn’t expect any major changes to the Apple Watch this year. However, a new report from Bloomberg suggests that the Apple Watch Series 9 will feature an updated heart rate sensor, as well as other small hardware improvements.

A WSJ report earlier this week revealed that China’s government was aiming to ban the iPhone from Chinese government agencies. However, Bloomberg later reported that the ban may extend beyond that. However, China Mobile – the country’s wireless carrier – is denying speculation that it won’t sell the iPhone 15 this year.

On Thursday, Apple publicly released iOS 16.6.1, which brings no new features but fixes security vulnerabilities, as we previously reported. Interestingly, we now know that iOS 16.6.1 also fixes an exploit used by Pegasus spyware.

When Apple unveiled Vision Pro at WWDC 2023 in June, the company highlighted the device’s potential for different categories, from productivity to entertainment – and that includes gaming. Since Vision Pro won’t be available in stores until 2024, we don’t know which apps will be available for it. But game studio Resolution has announced that it has plans to bring the popular role-playing game “Demeo” to Apple’s mixed reality headset.

A few weeks ago, WhatsApp began rolling out a new Instant Video Messages feature, which, as the name suggests, lets users easily send a video message with just the press of a button. However, this feature has been bothering some users as it works with the same button to send audio messages. Now, WhatsApp is implementing an option to let users disable Instant Video Messages.

A few days ago, images of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro dummy units floating around the internet gave us a better look at the potential colors for the new models. When it comes to the regular iPhone 15, it seems that Apple has opted for really muted (and boring) colors. And now we also have a video showing the rumored iPhone 15 colors.

Apple Card users can now take advantage of a time-limited promotion that lets them earn up to $200 in Daily Cash rewards. This offer specifically targets Apple Card holders who have embraced the Apple Card Family feature.

As you probably know, Apple will be holding a special press event on September 12. And although Apple never shares details about the event in advance, it’s almost certain that we’ll see the announcement of the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9, as well as some new accessories. And it seems that we may see some of these products available in retail stores right after the event.

Apple is a long-standing partner of Arm, the Softbank-owned company that developed the ARM architecture that powers every Apple Silicon chip. Following an agreement to invest in Arm stock after the company announced its plans to go public on the US Nasdaq stock market, Apple and Arm have now signed a long-term agreement for sharing chip technologies.

Apple has implemented a lot of useful technologies in its devices to make it easier to pair them with certain Bluetooth accessories, such as AirPods and AirTags. However, some hackers are now using these same technologies to annoy iPhone users. With a relatively inexpensive tool called Flipper Zero, they can spam iPhones with fake Bluetooth pop-ups, making the device “unusable.”

Amazon launched an official Kindle app for macOS more than eight years ago, allowing Mac users to download and read their ebooks from Amazon’s platform on their computer. However, it seems that Amazon has plans to discontinue the current Kindle app for the Mac while it works on a new, revamped version.

The App Store has become an extremely important business for Apple, since 26% of the company’s revenue comes from services. A lot of people download apps every day, but interestingly, there seems to be a new trend in the app market. A recent research shows that users are downloading fewer apps from the US App Store. However, this doesn’t mean that developers are making less money from their apps.

We’ve been hearing a lot of rumors when it comes to iPhone and Apple Watch accessories recently, as Apple will be holding a special event next week to introduce new products. And while some rumors have claimed that the company will replace the iPhone’s leather cases with new ones made of a different material, it seems that something similar may happen with Apple Watch leather bands.

Even before Apple unveiled Vision Pro, Meta already had virtual reality headsets called Meta Quest (which were created after Meta acquired Oculus). However, Meta’s headsets aren’t exactly a hit. But Zuckerberg seems to have ambitious plans to compete with Apple Vision Pro, as a new report suggests that Meta has been working with LG to build a new VR headset.

I’m a longtime HomePod mini user. As soon as Apple announced the cheapest version of its smart speaker, I immediately bought a pair to use with my Apple TV. Then I bought more pairs to spread around my apartment. Even so, I always felt the need to have something with a fuller sound. Now I’ve bought a HomePod 2, and it’s exactly what I wanted – except because there’s AirPlay 2.

Apple this week confirmed that it will hold a special event on September 12. Although the company never reveals in advance what will be announced at the event, we all know at this point that Apple will introduce the iPhone 15 lineup and also the Apple Watch Series 9, along with a new Apple Watch Ultra. And to corroborate the upcoming arrival of new Apple Watches, some watch bands are currently unavailable on Apple’s website.
