The new smartphone series has a very special innovation: the iPhones have integrated the generative artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by the company.

“We are excited to introduce the first iPhones designed from the ground up for Apple Intelligence and its groundbreaking capabilities,” said CEO Tim Cook (63).

Apple Intelligence is a system that bundles AI functions that can be used across all Apple devices. Generative AI refers to the technical capabilities to create content such as text, images, music and videos.

In addition, the new iPhones 16 and 16 Pro get a new button that is more commonly seen on cameras: a shutter button for the camera.

The button on the iPhone 16 works in a similar way to a camera: when you press it all the way down, an image is taken, and a light press activates a slider. This allows you to control the zoom, for example, without having to tap the screen.

The camera button is also a shortcut to AI functions. For example, you can use it to take a photo of a concert poster or an animal to find out more about it. The camera system also allows the phones to record three-dimensional videos for Apple’s Vision Pro computer glasses.

Many of the AI ​​functions will initially not be available to users in the EU. Apple points to legal uncertainty caused by the Digital Rights Act (DMA), which sets rules for large platforms.

The new Apple Watch Series 10 will be available in silver, black and rose gold from September 20th. The computer watch will be noticeably thinner and have larger displays. An improved chip will make it more powerful.

A new feature for the Apple Watch is the ability to detect sleep apnea – a condition that can cause breathing to stop for a short time. To allow you to wear the watch for longer, 30 minutes of charging should refill the battery to 80 percent.

The new Apple Watch will also be able to detect water temperature and depth. Apple last enlarged the Watch’s display a few years ago. The starting price remains at 449 euros.

Also new: The AirPods 4 with better audio quality and optional noise cancellation. Starting price: 149 euros. The AirPods Pro, which can also be used as a hearing aid, are available for 279 euros – also in Germany by the end of this year.
