The flat display is protected by sapphire crystal and is 50 percent brighter than the original Ultra. The watch has a protruding right side button array and an orange action button on the left. The digital crown and side buttons are more tactile and work better with gloved hands.

Apple AirPods 4

Comfort Meets Clarity

AirPods 4’s have got a cool, compact look with shorter stems. Super comfy, and Apple’s even using recycled stuff to make ‘em. The sound is way better now, thanks to some fancy tech. They’ve got this smart chip that adjusts the audio for your ears and can do that cool spatial audio thing.

The AirPods 4 comes with an entirely new acoustic architecture with a low distortion driver and high dynamic range amplifier, delivering a massive improvement in sound quality. They get a custom H2 chip that enables intelligent audio experiences like personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. The H2 chip also powers features like Voice Isolation for clearer call quality and Siri interactions.

They have an adaptive EQ that automatically tunes music to your ears, and adaptive audio blends transparency and active noise cancellation in real time. Pretty neat! The charging case is about 10 percent smaller than the AirPods 3 case while providing 30 hours of battery life. This comes in two different models, standard AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro with noise cancellation, with the latter model being slightly more expensive than the former. Pre-orders begin today, September 9th, 2024.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Headphones

Finally Gets A USB-C Port

The AirPods Max’s noise-cancellation is no joke. They’re like an off switch for the world around you. They beat out a lot of other top headphones at blocking out noise. If you want to get lost in your music without distractions, these babies have got you covered. Pretty sweet for drowning out the chaos.

Look, I get it. The AirPods Max update was honestly boring. Apple barely mentioned it in the keynote, there’s not a lot new here. They just gave it a USB-C port. Whoopee. And some new colors if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s basically the same old AirPods Max with a tiny facelift.

But hey, maybe that’s not entirely a bad thing. The original AirPods Max was pretty solid, and if it ain’t broken, why fix it, right? Plus, the USB-C thing is kinda nice for compatibility.

Apple iPhone 16

Designed For AI

Bigger is better

The new A18 chip is running the show, kicking things up a notch in both speed and battery life.

The iPhone 16 Plus is basically the 16’s bigger sibling. Same cool features, but with a 6.7-inch screen and a larger battery. Great if you’re into bigger phones. But honestly, we’d understand if you chose the 16 over this one. It’s a lot easier to handle and still packs all the same punch, all in a more compact form factor.

At the end of the day, it’s all about what feels right in your hand. In case you want something that has more of a tablet vibe, opt for the Plus. And if you need something more scaled back in terms of size, then the 16 does the job just fine.
