It’s been just a couple of days since Apple’s latest product launch event. Therefore, the announcements remain fresh, and many people are still engaging in debates about them. For some reason, you may have missed the company’s announcements. If that’s the case, don’t worry, as we bring you the event highlights with the official promo videos focused on the iPhone 16 series, Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Intelligence, and more.
To start, Apple prepared a quick video summary of the entire event. So, in just 4 minutes, you can find out what the main announcements were. Then, you can delve a little deeper into each of them on your own or by watching the other videos.
Apple promo videos highlight iPhone 16 series, Apple Intelligence and Watch Series 10
Regarding the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, there are some improvements, although nothing revolutionary. As rumors suggested, the company is betting heavily on Apple Intelligence. This approach could run into problems in the European market, where several features of the AI-powered suite will not be available pending compliance with EU regulations.
The story is similar with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While they are bigger than ever, they feature even fewer hardware breakthroughs compared to the previous generation. Considering that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are eligible for Apple Intelligence, it may be the best time to go for one of these models, especially after the latest price drop.
The company also prepared a summary video of the iPhone 16 series main improvements and new features. The 10-minute video focuses on areas such as design, Apple Intelligence, and performance. It also highlights software improvements for camera quality and video recording. If you’re looking for a smartphone with advanced content creation capabilities, the iPhones are still among the best.
Apple Intelligence, the company’s suite of AI-powered features, will be available on select iPhones with the iOS 18.1 update starting in October. However, that won’t be the case everywhere, as European customers will have to wait a bit longer. There’s no ETA yet for the rollout of Apple Intelligence on the old continent. In addition to the full iPhone 16 series and iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple Intelligence will also reach some iPads and Macs (from M1 chips onwards).
Another of the promo videos focuses on the new Apple Watch Series 10. Unlike the iPhone 16 series, Apple’s latest smartwatches bring some notable upgrades. The company trimmed the wearable’s thickness, weight, and display bezels. Overall, the latest Apple Watch looks more premium than ever. Plus, it will soon get a new sleep apnea detection feature.
New Airpods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 update too
The company’s headphones also took center stage at the event. Apple launched the new AirPods 4 with improvements in terms of audio quality and comfort. They are available in two versions: with ANC and without ANC. The ANC version brings some additional advanced features, such as Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode.
Lastly, Apple did not refresh its popular AirPods Pro lineup with a new model. However, the company announced an AirPods Pro 2 update to make them even more useful and functional. The update brings features such as Head Gestures, Voice Isolation and a clinical-grade Hearing Aid. In line with its focus on helping its users take care of their health, Apple highlighted the latter in a promo video.
