Why was everyone presenting at the keynote wearing an Apple Watch series 11 instead of the new Apple Watch Ultra do they not believe in that product anymore

[rotvaldi]

[metalsiren]

Order the ultra 3 and the pro 3

I was a bit underwhelmed with these new Pro’s. Was hoping for a bit more. Did they even get a new redesigned chip? Will there be a new AirPods Pro 3 Ultra version coming out early next year?

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered! This is one of my favorite Apple devices of all time and is an instant day one purchase. Seems like the last minute rumors were incorrect, and I'm glad for that! I think there was information about AirPods Ultra that got in there, and it caused people to backtrack on features for this one. I'm not really sure I want camera in-air gesture controls in my AirPods, so I'm fine with these improvements. The better fitment is huge for me, as I occasionally have an AirPod Pro fall out of my ear and it was almost disastrous. I have strange ears so I'm liking the additional sizes, foam which tends to stay in my ears better, and the adjusted angle to keep them snug.

All the other audio, ANC and battery life improvements are icing on the cake, as is the longer range for finding them, as I often get notices that they are out of range and I need to move around more.

Pro 2 supports it as well. TBH if you own a pair of Pro 2 and an Apple Watch, the Pro 3 doesn't bring much to the table aside from potentially better fit and slightly better battery life.

Pro 3 still uses the H2 chip

Ordered the APP3 so I can give up my Lightning APP2s, finally. Don't see enough in Apple+ Watch 11 to upgrade from my 10.

Ordered the air pod pro 3, I hope I like the new in ear design (its hard for me to get used to the old ones) but I really like the HR sensing though so I can track yoga w/out wearing a watch.

I will piss if buy the pro 3 and later they release a ultra, so I'll prefer wait with my pro 2.

 

[Gator5000e]

The APPs coming with foam tips is going to hurt Comply I would imagine.

 

[scottct1]

Airpoo Pro 3 has been ordered. I use my first generation one everyday. Time for an upgrade!

 

[Taq'aix]

Just ordered 2 sets of APP3! And “hit-or-miss leaker” Mark Gurman is an idiot! LOL.

 

[nortonandreev]

Oh noes…

 

[rwilliams]

Ultra 3 and Airpods Pro 3 ordered. Now for Friday for the 17 Pro.

Do I need the AirPods Pro 3 for Live Translation or will the Pro 2 support it when updated?

Live Translation with AirPods works on AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and AirPods Pro 2 and later with the latest firmware when paired with an Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhone running iOS 26 and later. Supports English (UK, U.S.), French (France), German, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Spain). For more information, see Feature Availability.

How many of them were presenting from mountain tops or a kayak in the rapids, or 50 meters underwater off the coast?

Adaptive EQ tunes music to your ears in real time based on the fit of your AirPods. Inward-facing microphones measure what you’re hearing, then adjust the low to high frequencies of a song — so you get consistently detailed playback, every time.

Sounds promising. Very interested in how they sound.

Also glad they fixed this: You can set your favorite music and podcasts to play automatically when you start a workout.

Ordered the APP3 so I can give up my Lightning APP2s, finally. Don't see enough in Apple+ Watch 11 to upgrade from my 10.

Same, my launch APP2s have been getting a bit cranky and worn. I'd picked up a discounted set of basic AirPods 4s just for casual listening and voice calls because I really didn't want to buy another set of Pro 2's so close to the launch of the next gen.

My AW Ultra 1 still works fine, the 3 isn't enough of an upgrade to spend $800 on.
