To a publication, Apple executives explained the magic behind AirPods 4 ANC feature that works without ear tips.

Apple keeps making AirPods Pro 2 better, which makes it easier than ever to wait as long as necessary for the forthcoming AirPods Pro 3.

The AirPods 4 excellent sound quality and optional ANC make them some of Apple’s best earbuds yet, but they’re not the ideal option for everyone.

The AirPods 4 are yet to be released, but you can preorder a pair from the Apple Store where you'll find two price points. There's the base model, equipped with Spatial Audio, for $129. Then, there's the $179 version, which include ANC and a wireless charging case.

The new iPhone 16 smartphones and Apple Watch Series 10 smartwatches are chock full of new and enhanced health, fitness and safety features. At the same time Apple is updating the AirPods Pro 2 so they can be used as over-the-counter hearing aids. A new feature, called Hearing Protection, will also be unlocked.

The Apple Watch Series 10 updates one of our favorite smartwatches (the Series 9 ). The latest model has a thinner design, making it more comfortable to wear for longer periods. The watch will also update once per second when you turn on Always On mode instead of once per minute like in previous models.

The entry-level AirPods 4 costs £129, while the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation costs £179. Those are the same prices as the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3. The AirPods Pro 2, however, cost £229, but we frequently see them on sale for less than £200, and they fell to just £179 during Amazon Prime Day.

Apple announced that its devices will have two new health-related capabilities: your Apple Watch will soon be able to tell if you have sleep apnea, and your AirPods Pro 2 can now double as hearing aids for those who need them.

Your AirPods Pro should have already installed a major update ahead of iOS 18, so here's what to expect when you use the new features.
