Apple Releases New iPhones And Watches With Incremental Upgrades
· Technology · Hindustan Times, Wall Street Journal
Apple launched its latest lineup of iPhones and watches in stores this week, prompting familiar upgrade dilemmas for consumers. The new iPhone 18 Pro models feature a main camera with a variable aperture, a faster A20 Pro chip, and increased battery life offering three extra hours of video playback for the Pro and six extra hours for the Pro Max. Reviewers note that the camera upgrades are subtle unless users are upgrading from much older devices. Meanwhile, the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 are also now available on store shelves. Apple's new A20 Pro chip is designed to unlock advanced AI capabilities, though current app developers have yet to fully utilize the hardware.
