On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through all of the major announcements from Apple's "It's Glowtime" event.


The long-awaited unveiling of the iPhone 16 lineup was the main announcement at the event, so we break down some of the major features coming to the new devices. For the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, this includes the A18 chip with support for Apple Intelligence, the Action button, faster charging, revamped Photographic Styles, and the all-new Camera Control button. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max take things further with larger display size options with slimmer bezels, a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, improved audio recording, and a significant battery life boost.

We discuss the Apple Watch Series 10 and new Satin Black color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Series 10 features redesigned casings and larger screen sizes, a new wide-angle OLED display with a faster refresh rate for an improved experience in always-on mode, sleep apnea detection, a water temperature sensor and depth gauge, a speaker with media playback, and faster charging.

We also take a look at the fourth-generation AirPods with Active Noise Cancellation and the new hearing protection, testing, and aid features for the AirPods Pro 2. Apple also brought a minor update to the AirPods Max that switches Lightning for USB-C and refreshes its selection of color options.

Finally, we weigh up the event as a whole and take a look forward at some of the early rumors for the iPhone 17 lineup to consider who should upgrade this year and who may be better off waiting until next year.

How do they talk about the apple watch 10 being so different with a straight face?
In terms of design, I think the update is big enough. It occurred to me that this is the first time they’ve ever made the Apple Watch that is thinner than the first gen. And they made it significantly lighter with a bigger display, it should be more comfortable to use.

In terms of features, you’re right, basically nothing new. Even Series 9 is getting the sleep apnea notifications.

The Apple Watch 4 was slightly thinner than the 3.

One reason the non-Pros get the camera button as well might be that otherwise there hardly would be any compelling upgrade for users in the EU and China.

Wow finally they look disappointed at Apple!
It also means good thing, model mature enough just for Quality of Life improvement. Tweaks etc.

Been waiting to replace my 12 mini.

Those who said skip usually hold a 14 or 15 model. lol of course they will see as disappointment.

12 mini to 16 pro max, I am excited!
