By Fitz Tepper While rumors of the iPhone 6s having a smaller battery than its predecessor emerged about a month ago, Apple today made no mention of the new device’s exact power capacity. However, a 3D Touch promotional video released by the company seems to confirm that the 6s will indeed have a smaller battery…

By Lucas Matney Apple unveiled its tablet behemoth, the iPad Pro, today at its event. The gorgeous 12.9″ screen gives users enough screen real estate to engage in the split-screen multitasking that iOS 9 allows. That massive multitouch screen is powered by a next-generation A9X chip that’s 1.8x faster than the A8 before it. We…

By Greg Kumparak Among this morning’s torrential blast of Apple news were a handful of new options for would-be Apple Watch buyers, from new finishes to fancy new watch bands. The Watch Sport now comes in a pinkish “rose” gold and a more traditional gold. Meanwhile, they’ve introduced a bunch of new colors for the…

By Sarah Buhr Today at Apple’s media event we took a look at the new Apple TV. The new device is made for gaming and features an updated OS, dubbed “tvOS,” a touchpad remote that includes a motion sensor, and Siri voice control. The remote will let you fast-forward and rewind by pressing on the…

By Lucas Matney After talking a good amount of smack over the years about styluses, today Apple revealed the Apple Pencil, an input device that allows iPad Pro users insanely pixel-precise input with almost no latency. The device is able to sense both pressure and tilt, enabling creatives a lot of freedom when it comes…

By Matthew Panzarino Today at the Apple event we went hands-on with the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new devices feature an additional layer of sensors that makes them able to detect varying levels of pressure from fingers on the screen. This enables new interactions both on the home screen and inside…

By Cecile Schmollgruber When Apple’s “Shot on iPhone 6” ad campaign covered billboards and posters in 24 cities around the world, it proved two things: The quality of mobile camera technology is astronomical, and mobile device manufacturers badly want you to know about it.

By John Biggs Worst. Keynote. Ever. Amirite? Absolutely. If Apple had any smarts they would have released this 3D-printed automatic Skittles sorter. Instead we got a bunch of walled garden stuff we don’t need or want. Ugh. This sorter, created by Nathan Peterson, uses an LED light to assess the Skittle color and then pops…

By Josh Constine The iPad wasn’t versatile enough for business. The iPhone camera wasn’t sharp enough for photographers. And none of Apple’s products were fast enough for diehard gamers. Until today. The resounding theme of Apple’s big press event was that it got serious about making its mainstream products powerful enough for professionals. Apple has…

Uber had been partnering with CMU to research building its own autonomous vehicles. But then it pulled from a massive venture funding war chest to hire away a lot of CMU’s…

By Gareth Beavis Apple’s done it again – launched the smaller ‘normal’ iPhone and then supersized it – ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the iPhone 6S Plus. Aside from the fact that’s a lot of words to say (although let’s be glad Apple’s not calling ‘new Big iPhone’) I’m glad the phablet is now consistently…

By Gareth Beavis I often dread the odd years for Apple launches – the iPhone 3GS, 4S and 5S have all been rather dull compared to the phones that sat either side of them. That’s because there’s usually very little difference in the “S” models from their predecessors, thus making it hard to get excited.…

There were a lot of goodies snuck into today’s event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, so here’s a recap of everything Apple unveiled that you need to know…
