The Verge· 2025-09-09 22:01
So, we just got our hands on time with the Apple watches, the Series 11, SE3, and the Ultra 3. And I got to say, the winner right off the bat is the SE3. Basically, what Apple's doing is it's taking a bunch of the features that you would expect on a series, and they're bringing it down to the entry-level device.Some of the updates are things like a wrist temperature sensor, an always on display, like we've always wanted, some of the new health features like a sleep score and faster charging. Now, for the ot ...

heart rate sensing during workouts with AirPods Pro 3. To do this, we custom built Apple's smallest heart rate sensor. Machine learning algorithms fuse together data from the sensors and accelerometers to deliver precise measurements.This is combined with a new ondevice AI model for activity and calorie tracking trained from more than 50 million hours of data from the Apple Heart and Movement Study, which is one of the largest studies of its kind with more than 250,000 participants. ...
Hands-on with the Apple 17 Pro with new colors, hardware design, and front-facing camera sensor
The Verge· 2025-09-09 21:46
I'm here at Apple Park and I just got a look at the iPhone 17 Pro. This is a big year for the Pro iPhones. It's their first redesign since the iPhone 11 back in 2019.The camera bar now stretches all across the back of the phone and there's now a glass cutout in the center. It creates this neat two-tone look and feel where you have the matte aluminum around most of the body and the glass through the center. Apple says this is meant to improve the thermals of the phone so it can run more powerful for longer w ...

This new front camera has our widest field of view. It's enabled by our largest front camera sensor, almost twice the size of our previous front camera. And for the first time, the sensor is square.Traditional sensors have a 4x3 aspect ratio, which limits framing based on the orientation of the phone. The center stage camera's unique shape and larger size allow for high resolution photos and videos in any orientation, giving you four different compositions, which means you don't have to rotate your iPhone t ...
The new iPhone 17 camera is what Apple is calling "Fusion Camera"
The Verge· 2025-09-09 20:35
What might appear to be a single camera is actually our new powerful 48 megapixel fusion camera system, which works like multiple advanced cameras in one. You can shoot breathtaking 48 megapixel photos, capturing even the small trees across the valley and the deep color range on the stone wall. And the 2x telephoto has an updated photonic engine, which now uses machine learning to capture the lielike details of her hair and the vibrant color of her jacket.This Fusion camera excels in low light thanks to its ...

Apple designs the "Vapor Chamber" for the new iPhone to prevent overheating.
The Verge· 2025-09-09 20:20
At the heart of the new thermal management system is an Apple vapor chamber. Deionized water is sealed inside the vapor chamber which is laser welded into the aluminum chassis. This efficiently moves heat away from the components allowing for higher sustained performance.The vapor chamber directs heat strategically through the system where it is efficiently dissipated and released by the forge aluminum unibody. We used an applesigned aerospace grade aluminum alloy for its superior thermal conductivity which ...
