for series 10, we developed the largest and most advanced display ever for Apple Watch. It's the biggest wearable display we've ever built, even slightly bigger than Apple Watch Ultra. And compared to previous generations, it has up to 30% more screen area. With a larger screen, you can increase the font size without sacrificing content, and you can see an additional line of text in apps like Messages, Mail, or News. It also makes it easier to type a message, enter your passcode, or pause your workout. Both the display and the case have more rounded corners and a wider aspect ratio, which makes series 10 appear softer, sleeker, and more streamlined. The front crystal of series 10 is made of durable ionics glass and extends further down the sides of the case, creating an expansive top view. Under the front crystal is Apple's first-ever wide-angle OLED display. Each pixel has been optimized to emit more light at wider angles. Apple Watch series 10 starts at $399. You can pre-order starting today, and it will be available on September 20th. Ultra 2 is

now available in a gorgeous satin black. This incredible deep dark finish is achieved through a custom blasting process. The diamond-like carbon PVD coating was specifically formulated to make the surface extremely scratch-resistant and durable. Apple Watch Ultra 2 starts at $7.99. You can pre-order starting today, and it will be available on September 20th. Thanks to a new acoustic architecture with richer bass and crystal-clear highs, these are the best-sounding AirPods ever in this open-ear design. And that includes personalized spatial audio, which surrounds you with sound and transforms music, movies, and games with our most immersive media experience. AirPods are also perfect for taking calls hands-free, and machine learning makes this experience even better when interacting with Siri. You can simply nod your head yes or shake your head no in response to Siri announcements. Now for those who are looking for an even more advanced performance in this style of AirPods, we created a second model inspired by some of the most impactful features of AirPods Pro. We're excited to bring

active noise cancellation to this AirPods design for the first time. The next generation AirPods 4 are just $129, and AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are $179. You can pre-order them today, and they will be available on September 20th.

It's a simple 5-minute check you can take from the comfort of your own home. All you need to do is tap the screen when you hear a series of tones at different volumes and frequencies. The hearing test builds on

learnings from the Apple hearing study and was developed using large-scale real-world data, and it was validated against the clinical gold standard of pure tone audiometry. Once you're done, you'll see easy-to-understand results in a personalized hearing profile. We are so excited for these updates coming to AirPods Pro 2, delivering the world's first all-in-one experience with active hearing protection, a clinical-grade hearing test, and an easy-to-use professional-grade hearing aid. iPhone 16 is built to last with industry-leading durability. It is water and dust resistant and has our new most advanced glass ceramic formulation. This latest generation ceramic shield material is 50% tougher than the first generation ceramic shield and two times tougher than glass found in any other smartphone. The display on iPhone 16 provides an exceptional viewing experience under all conditions, up to 2,000 nits when you're in a sunny environment and down to one nit in the dark. And it comes in two sizes: 6.1 in for iPhone 16 and 6.7 in for iPhone 16.

You can also customize the action button with a shortcut so it opens the calendar during the day and flashlight at night, or use it to directly access in-app functionality like unlocking and locking your car with the Ford Pass App. iPhone 16 introduces the all-new Innovative camera control. The camera control provides instant easy access to the camera with just a click. It allows you to adjust various camera features simply by sliding your finger. Siri will be able to tap into your personal context to help you in ways that are unique to you, like pulling up the recommendation for the TV show that your brother sent you last month.

Apple intelligence will be available as a free software update. The first set of features will be available in beta next month. The camera control is designed for an amazing camera experience that brings you new ways to capture your photos quickly and easily. The camera control is easy to use in landscape or portrait. It's flush to the surface, covered by a sapphire crystal with a smooth texture, and surrounded by a color-matched stainless steel trim. The camera control elegantly blends hardware and software. When you click it, it launches the camera, and once in the camera, you don't need to adjust your grip to take a

photo just click again so you don't miss the moment. With a click and hold, you can do a quick video recording. A light press also brings up a new overlay that allows quick access to useful camera functions. By sliding your finger on the camera control, you can adjust controls like Zoom. When you press lightly twice, you can see other controls, then simply slide to the control you want and press lightly again to select it, like the depth of fields to compose a stunning portrait. Apps like Snapchat are also leveraging the camera control to create new experiences, like quickly sharing the moment with your friends or groups. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are a huge leap forward. They still start at just $7.99 for iPhone 16 and $8.99 for iPhone 16 Plus. It starts with a big improvement to the gorgeous Pro displays.
