iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, making Apple's first foldable $700 more expensive than the $1,299 iPhone 18 Pro Max. The extra money buys a 7.6-inch inner display and a new way to work across apps.

Both use A20 Pro, but the Pro Max has the more versatile rear camera system and longer rated battery life. Choosing between them comes down to whether a wider, folding workspace is worth the price and tradeoffs.

iPhone 18 Pro brings a more flexible camera, a faster A20 Pro chip, and longer battery life to a design that will look familiar to iPhone 17 Pro owners. The main camera can now adjust its aperture automatically or let you choose a setting yourself, while new cooling hardware is designed to keep demanding games and apps running faster for longer.

Those changes give photographers and heavy users more to consider this year. But with the same display size and optical-quality zoom options, does the new model offer enough to justify replacing a phone that's only a year old?

Apple Watch Ultra 4 raises normal-use battery life from up to 42 to 50 hours and adds a new Health Sensing System powered by the S11 chip. Those are the clearest reasons to consider it over Ultra 3, which already offered satellite connectivity and much of the same outdoor hardware.

The new model keeps the 49mm titanium design, 3000-nit display, and $799 U.S. starting price. For an Ultra 3 owner, battery life and recovery tracking are the changes most likely to matter in daily use.

Apple Watch Series 12 focuses on health tracking and quicker charging, with a new Health Sensing System, an S11 chip, and new ceramic case options. Battery life remains rated for up to 24 hours of normal use or 38 hours in Low Power Mode, matching Series 11.

For Series 11 owners, the choice comes down to how much you'd use the new recovery features and quicker top-ups. The familiar display and everyday battery rating give you less reason to upgrade if your current watch already fits your routine.

AirPods 5 bring Active Noise Cancellation to the $129 starting model, removing the biggest feature gap in Apple's previous open-ear lineup. The $149 version adds a wireless charging case, stem swipe volume controls, and longer rated listening time.

Whether that warrants an upgrade depends on which AirPods 4 you own. Moving from the standard model adds noise cancellation; moving from AirPods 4 with ANC is a narrower upgrade, with much of the core hardware and design carrying over.

The foldable model features a titanium frame, A20 Pro chip, dual-battery system, and 48MP Dual Fusion camera. It also supports Siri AI and introduces new shooting options designed around its flexible form factor.

Camera improvements include a variable aperture that can adjust depth of field and improve image quality in low-light conditions. The lineup is available in burgundy, glacier, silver, and black.

The company also says iPhone 18 Pro Max delivers the longest battery life in an iPhone.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 introduce more accurate heart rate sensing alongside high-frequency heart rate tracking, daytime heart rate variability data, and a readiness score designed to help users decide when to train or recover.

Apple has shared two videos introducing Apple Watch Series 12 and highlighting its expanded health, fitness, and intelligence features. The watch takes background heart-rate readings 60 times more frequently and heart-rate variability readings 24 times more frequently than the previous system.

Those additional measurements support a new readiness experience and more detailed information in Vitals. Apple describes Series 12 as offering the most accurate heart-rate sensing in a wearable, based on a company study conducted in July and August 2026 using commercially available bestselling wearables available as of June 2026.

Apple Watch Series 12 also supports sleep scores, cycle tracking, detailed workout metrics, and up to 24 hours of battery life. Its aluminum cases are protected by Ceramic Shield 2 and paired with a wide-angle Always-On Retina display.

Apple has posted a 50-second video outlining the main features of AirPods 5, including a redesigned acoustic architecture and Active Noise Cancellation that the company says is up to 1.5 times stronger than AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.

The open-ear earbuds support Transparency mode and Personalized Spatial Audio, which requires an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera to create a profile. Live Translation is also available when AirPods 5 are paired with a compatible Apple Intelligence device running the latest operating system and firmware, though language and regional availability will vary.

AirPods 5 provide hands-free access to Siri AI on iPhone. The assistant is launching in beta with iOS 27, with English available first, and will not initially be offered in the European Union. Apple will sell two versions of the earbuds: AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, with the wireless case model providing up to one additional hour of listening time per charge.
