After months of rumors, now we know everything about the iPhone 17 range and the new Apple Watches, plus the new AirPods Pro 3. Here's what we've learned, what Apple left out, and what this all means for the future.
That's it, no more rumors about the iPhone 17, Apple has revealed everything — or nearly everything. Once the new devices are out in the real world, then we'll get to see just they're made of, and just what Apple may have avoided saying.
Yes, we talking about battery life there. Despite some doubts over the iPhone Air's battery life, though, this does seem to be a remarkable year for Apple adding hours upon hours of use to its devices.
It's also remarkable for the Live Translation feature, where once again Apple appears to have been beaten to an idea — and then just came along and did it better.
