This fall’s Apple Watch Series 10 is reportedly going plus size. While the Ultra model stays the same, the two standard Apple Watch sizes are expected to grow significantly: moving from 41mm and 45mm cases to 45mm and 49mm.

Why the change? Perhaps Apple has seen strong customer satisfaction around the Ultra model’s larger display, and assumes that bigger will prove better.

In thinking about the Apple Watch’s future, though, I’ve started to wonder if Apple Intelligence may be part of the answer.

Ever since getting into original film production, Apple’s focus with Apple TV+ has been set on award-contending titles. Oscar bait like Killers of the Flower Moon, CODA, Napoleon, and its new best-reviewed movie yet.

But for years, the company has been working on a different kind of project: a feel-good summer release with a massive budget that’s designed to be a crowd pleaser. That film, Apple’s first ever attempt at a summer blockbuster, now has a title and poster.

Every year, Apple introduces new upgrades and capabilities for the iPhone’s camera system. This year with the iPhone 16 lineup, those changes are set to be especially substantial.

Just two months out from the iPhone 16’s expected debut, one key rumor concerning enhancements to the iPhone 16 Pro camera has just received further support thanks to a new supplier report.

Apple has a reputation for taking its time with new technology. It is rarely first to the party, but often it arrives with an offering that sets a new standard.

There have always been critics to this approach, and that’s as true now as ever. But recent fails from some of Apple’s biggest competitors, particularly in emerging technologies like AI and robotics, have once again proven the advantage of Apple’s method.

When iOS 18 arrives this fall, it will bring a huge number of changes to the iPhone’s built-in apps. System apps like Messages, Photos, Reminders, Notes, Journal, and Settings are some of the highlights. But the Weather app is getting a tiny bit of love too.

Here are the two new features coming to Weather in iOS 18.

If you had to name the best reviewed movie on Apple TV+, what would you guess?

CODA would be a good choice, since it won the Best Picture Oscar—the highest achievement possible for a film in the US. Another strong contender is Killers of the Flowers Moon, Martin Scorsese’s 2023 triumph. Or maybe The Tragedy of MacBeth comes to mind.

These are some of the most prestigious and praised TV+ original films, but they’ve all been bested by the latest new release on TV+.

Apple Intelligence stands poised to be the most powerful addition to the iPhone, Mac, and iPad this year. When iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iPadOS 18 debut this fall, they’ll include a host of Apple Intelligence features—albeit labeled as beta.

Despite the beta labeling, there are still several Apple Intelligence features that won’t even be ready at launch. Instead, they’ll be added over the course of the coming year.

Here are the Apple Intelligence features that won’t be arriving this fall.

iOS 18 is shaping up to be one of the biggest software updates the iPhone has ever received. There’s Apple Intelligence, big upgrades to core apps like Photos, Messages, and Notes, a new Siri, countless ways to personalize your device, and much more.

But not every feature is coming to all supported iPhones. iOS 18 can run on a wide array of devices as old as 2018’s iPhone XS and XR. There are certain features, though, that require newer models.

Here are all the iOS 18 features that are only coming to certain iPhones.

Not every piece of technology or feature needs upgrading over time. Some things work just fine the way they are, and any tweaking or “enhancements” will only make things worse.

I would have thought that a TV’s mute button was one such leave-it-alone feature. It’s simple, uncomplicated, and should stay that way. But Apple has changed my mind by introducing a no-brainer upgrade to the mute button in tvOS 18, iOS 18, and more: auto-subtitles.

Today following the arrival of new developer betas yesterday, Apple has released the second public betas for iOS 17.6, macOS 14.6, iPadOS 17.6, and more.

The hallmark feature of last year’s tvOS 17 update was FaceTime support on the Apple TV 4K. For the first time, you could FaceTime using the largest screen in your home.

Now, tvOS 18 is set to take greater advantage of that large screen with one key new feature.

The Apple Watch is getting upgraded with watchOS 11 this fall—but not all Apple Watch models. This year’s update drops support for several models that were compatible with watchOS 10, notably the Series 4 and 5 generations and the first-gen Apple Watch SE.

But that’s not even the full story. Even if your Watch is new enough to run watchOS 11, it may not get all of the update’s features. Here are the watchOS 11 features that are exclusive to select Watch hardware.

Apple Pay enables simple, secure contactless payments with a single tap. It’s one of the most used features of an iPhone. And according to a new publication from the NFC Forum about the next generation of contactless payments, it’s likely to gain some powerful new capabilities in the future.

iOS 18 will launch this fall with major improvements like Apple Intelligence, new customization tools, and more. But one of the biggest changes is coming with Messages: RCS support.

RCS will make messaging between iPhones and Androids work better than ever. Here’s what that means for you.

Apple’s Racial Equity and Justice Initiative encompasses a variety of programs and work, but one beneficiary of its funding is the Apple Developer Academy, which just celebrated its third graduating class.

Today Apple released the second developer beta for iOS 17.6 alongside a host of other beta software releases for its other platforms.

Apple TV+ releases a variety of new TV shows and movies every month, usually with a mix of brand new series and old favorites returning with new seasons. In July, however, there’s no such mix. While fans await the return of series like Severance and Silo later this year, this month Apple is focused entirely on new series for your summer enjoyment.

Here is everything new coming to Apple TV+ in July.

Apple Intelligence is one of the most exciting and powerful new technologies Apple is launching this year. It will be available to beta testers this summer, then release publicly this fall—still labeled beta—as part of iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iPadOS 18.

But not all devices that can run those software updates will be compatible with Apple Intelligence features.

Here is the full list of devices that will support Apple Intelligence at launch.

One of the most successful and beloved series on Apple TV+, enjoyed by critics and audiences alike, is getting a new season very soon. Here’s when you can expect Slow Horses season 4 to drop.
