Apple will hold a special event on Monday, and in addition to new iPhones, the company is also expected to introduce Apple Watch Series 10. Rumors suggest that the Series 10 models will have a new slimmer design with larger displays. But no, what some people are seeing in the latest beta of iOS 18.1 is not the new Apple Watch Series 10.

The iPhone 16 Pro unveiling is only days away, but we already know what to expect. One key camera upgrade coming is a brand new 48MP Ultra Wide camera. I never take Ultra Wide 0.5x shots, but I’m thrilled about this change for one reason: no more anxiety when I see the flower icon in the Camera app.

Apple’s big lineup for this fall is nearly ready for launch. The iPhone 16 event is only days away, and there’s a long-awaited product likely to make an appearance: AirPods Max 2. Historically, Apple prefers launching new AirPods products at its September events, so the wait for AirPods Max 2 should be over soon. Here’s what to expect from the new AirPods Max 2.

This might just be the MacBook upgrade program that Apple refuses to offer. Upgraded is a new subscription service powered by trusted partners that helps you get a new Mac every two years. Monthly payments start at just $36.06 with 0% interest, and AppleCare+ is included in the price.

Here’s how it works…

Benjamin and Chance get hyped for Apple’s upcoming ‘Glowtime’ September event, discussing some last-minute rumors and leaks about the products on deck. They discuss the market for the rumored plastic body Apple Watch SE, the latest on the M4 Mac mini redesign, and the iOS 18 Sports app gets a feature it should have had from the beginning. 

And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin checks in with Chance’s Vision Pro usage and rallies against the narrative that “AI” has somehow supplanted “AR”.

We’ve already seen a lot of reports about how the Apple Watch has saved people’s lives, and here we are with another one. This time, Rachel Manalo says that Apple Watch saved her life and the life of her baby, as the ECG feature helped her discover that something wasn’t right about her health.
