The iPhone 16. What's different? That's the question every year. What's actually going to make me upgrade this time around? Well, if you have an iPhone 15, Pro or Pro Max, I don't necessarily think you're going to upgrade this year. And that's you get a pretty good deal or you're on an upgrade path. Right. The changes here are going to be on the more incremental side. We're going to focus on Apple intelligence, which of course the 15 Pro in Pro Max will already support. And then there's also going to be some major upgrades on the camera. The ultra-wide lens is going to move to a 48-megapixel to match the standard lens. But if you're coming from an older phone, but you're coming from a 14 or earlier, getting Apple intelligence, getting there's no cameras, getting the titanium, those are going to be some nice upgrades. There's going to be some new colors as well.

The most significant feature is going to be a new camera button on the right side of the phone below the power button that you'll be able to use to take pictures and videos. It's going to be capacitive, so you can swipe on it to zoom in and out between still and video. So that's going to be a nice upgrade there. So it's really all about AI and the camera. The bigger changes, of course, will come to the Apple Watch and the AirPods. Bless you, Marc. Just talk us about the AirPods and the watch. What do we anticipate there? How big a change? So this is going to actually be the ten-year anniversary to the date of the original Apple Watch's introduction in 2014. And you're going to see a new series ten watch that's going to have displays. It's a little bit bigger. You're going to see faster processors. You're going to see sleep apnea

detection as a major new health feature. You're also going to see that sleep apnea detection come to the Apple Watch Ultra, though that will retain the same design that it's been running since the introduction in 2022. AirPods, Apple's revamping the low end of the line. So you're going to see a new entry-level and mid-tier AirPods bringing noise cancellation down the line from the pro models for the first time. You're going to see quite a boost there to Apple's wearables business between the new watches and the new AirPods. And I think that's going to be quite exciting for customers who have been waiting for a new version of the AirPods.
