Monday, Apple Apple held a splashy media event where it unveiled the next iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch. These are the company’s three flagship products, and the design changes all look very similar to current Apple products. But Apple also showed off some new technology, like sleep apnea detection in the Apple Watch and a new feature that instantly turns AirPods Pro into hearing aids. And of course, the company is also eager to get consumers excited about the new Apple Intelligence features in the iPhone, even if those fancy AI features won’t be available until next month.
On this week’s Gadget Lab, WIRED product reviews editors Adrienne So and Julian Chokkattu join us after Apple’s “Glowtime” event to break down all the big news from Cupertino.
