The MacRumors Show: iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 10 announced!

On this week’s episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all the major announcements from Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event.

The long-awaited iPhone 16 lineup was the main announcement of the event, so we’ve broken down some of the key 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 Photo Styles, and the all-new Camera Control button. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max take things a step further with larger screen size options with thinner bezels, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, improved audio recording, and a significant boost in battery life.

We discuss the Apple Watch Series 10 and the new Satin Black color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Series 10 features redesigned cases and larger screen sizes, a new wide-angle OLED display with a faster refresh rate for an improved always-on experience, 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 support features for the AirPods Pro 2. Apple also brought a minor update to the AirPods Max that swaps Lightning for USB-C and refreshes its selection of color options.

Finally, we evaluate the event as a whole and look at some of the early rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 lineup to determine who should upgrade this year and who might be better off waiting until next year.
