Apple Autumn 2024 Product Releases: “Glowtime”

Today, September 9, Apple unveiled its Autumn 2024 product releases at its “Glowtime” event, set up to launch its new Apple Intelligence integration.

Apple Autumn 2024 Product Releases: Apple Watch

Apple Watch Series 10

Even if we prefer the mechanical watch, we can’t overlook the all-new Apple Watch Series 10. It comes with the largest display to date (bigger than the Apple Watch Ultra), 30% larger than the last model and the thinnest. This OLED display is specifically designed to be seen from all angles, with a brightness of over 40%, while being just as energy-efficient.

A new jet-black colour is added to the most popular watch line on the planet. In 30 minutes, with its new rechargeable battery, you can set off on a run with the battery at 80%.

Also, its new speakers let you listen to your music or podcasts directly from your watch, like the one on Gentologie On Air, but please don’t do that in public, nobody likes that.

Titanium is added to the Series 10, replacing stainless steel, a more refined expression of its popular watch. Also, the new S10 chip lets you wear your watch day and night, allowing you to determine your sleep cycles and detect possible sleep apnea (to be determined with your doctor afterwards). This sleep apnea function will also be offered on the Series 8, 9 and Apple Watch Ultra.

For water sports enthusiasts, you can see the depth and temperature of the water, as well as the different tides.

Apple Autumn 2024 Product Releases: iPhone 16 Pro lineup

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max

This new phone, Apple’s flagship model, brings a whole new experience to business users. As you might expect, it’s also available in black titanium, white titanium, natural titanium and desert titanium. The screen is enlarged to 6.3 ″(Pro)/6.9” (Pro Max), Apple’s largest to date. Apple also introduces 120 Hz refresh rate.

Powered by the A18 Pro, the updated camera system introduces a new 48-megapixel Fusion camera featuring a faster, more efficient quad-pixel sensor and Apple Camera interface, which enables video to be recorded at 4K120 fps in Dolby Vision—the highest resolution and frame rate combination ever available on the iPhone, and a smartphone first. The quad-pixel sensor can read data twice as fast, resulting in 48-megapixel ProRAW or HEIF photos with no shutter lag, so you can get the perfect shot right then and there… A new ultra-wide 48-megapixel camera also features a quad-pixel sensor with autofocus, enabling users to take higher-resolution 48-megapixel ProRAW and HEIF photos when shooting unique framing, wide-angle shots or getting up close to their subjects in macro photography. 

The powerful 5x telephoto lens is now available on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, enabling users to capture the action from further away, whichever model they choose. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max now takes spatial photos in addition to video, helping users relive their memories with remarkable depth on Apple Vision Pro. Apple adds editing and filter functions that are simply incredible. 

For video, in addition to the Action and Cinematic modes added last year, 4K120 mode is added in 2024. New control modes are added when taking photos, with the aforementioned new camera control button. The addition of Spacial Audio recording adds control to your sound recordings with the new “Audio Mix” function. Incidentally, The Weekend’s most recent video was filmed with the iPhone 16 Pro… and no doubt several software programs.

Battery life for video playback is 27 hours for iPhone Pro and 33 hours for iPhone Pro Max.
