TechRadar's US Editor-in-Chief Lance Ulanoff was on the ground at the Apple September Event in Cupertino yesterday, and he was able to get hands-on time with the most expensive of the new iPhones – click through to read his initial thoughts.
We've also been able to spend some time with the new iPhone 15, the standard model in the series that takes on some of the features of last year's Pro models. Find out whether this could be the phone upgrade for you when preorders open this week.
Apple unveiled new smartwatches as well as new smartphones yesterday, and the Apple Watch 9 brings numerous upgrades with it, including improved brightness, upgraded gesture controls, and a new chipset. There's a new Apple Watch Ultra 2 as well.
The iPhone 15 handsets bring USB-C to Apple's smartphones for the first time, but there's a pretty big caveat: the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are stuck on 20-year-old USB 2.0 technology, which is even worse when you consider that Thunderbolt 5 is on the way.
The Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset has already been announced of course, but Apple is now upgrading the rest of its hardware to match, with spatial video recording on the iPhone 15 Pro phones, and a Vision-ready audio protocol for the AirPods Pro 2.
