Today was more than hectic. With Y Combinator’s Demo Day taking place during an Apple event, we’ve been hammering away here at technewss all day. You were also likely very busy, doing whatever it is you do for work and trying to stay up to date on the news. So sit back and let me spi

It’s Apple event day, which means new hardware galore. New iPhones! New Apple Watches! New AirPods! Didn’t have time to tune in live? Don’t sweat it — we’ve summed up the most important parts for easy skimming. New iPhones Apple came out swingin’ with not one, not tw

Whether you love it or hate it, you probably have a very strong feeling about the notch (or, that awkward little black cutout that sits at the top of your iPhone or MacBook). The notch is a necessary evil, since, well, your front-facing camera has to go somewhere! That awkward cutout is a still-awk

At a jam-packed event in Cupertino this morning, Apple revealed details of the chip powering the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max: the A16 Bionic. The successor to the A15 Bionic (which can be found in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus), it packs more transistors — 16 billion, manufactured

People use their phones for all sorts of things, but “photography” is top of the list for many. Apple knows this, and points out that iPhone users took more than 3 trillion photos in the past year. It stands to reason that the company continues to focus on making its cameras better, but

Apple’s new iPhones — the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus — won’t have physical SIM cards. The company announced the nugget at its event in Cupertino today, revealing that eSIM will be the only way the iPhone 14 series authenticates with wireless carriers — at least in th

Apple unveiled a new Apple Watch SE with an upgraded chip and new materials for manufacturing today at its fall hardware event. This second Generation SE uses the same chip as the new Apple Watch 8 — making it 20% faster than the first version. It also shares some features with the Series 8, like

Apple has a long history of putting legacy businesses out of business, and it looks like dive computers are next. The company just announced that its newest watch can be used as a full-on scuba-diving watch. At $799, it is competitive with high-end dive computers, pricewise, but it adds a ton of po

The new Apple Watch Series 8 features an improved gyroscope and accelerometer that can detect if you’re in a car crash. That was one of the many announcements out of Apple’s event this morning in Cupertino, where the company showcased its latest technical and service innovations. Google

A lot of doctors consider body temperature — and changes in body temperature — a vital sign. That’s true both to track illnesses but also natural processes in the body, such as ovulation data and menstrual cycle tracking. Apple added cycle tracking three years ago, and in today’s ev

That brisk autumn feeling is in the air. If fall leaves were a thing here in the South Bay, you'd better believe they'd be changing. With the turning of the seasons comes the ever-important fall tradition of a new iPhone. Apple sent out invites for its “Far Out” event late last month. A

There are few things you can count on in this mixed-up world. Thankfully, a new iPhone each fall is a part of that glancingly short list. You can't set your watch to it exactly — the date generally move around within a couple of weeks. And this year's is — surprise — a rare Wednes

Brazil said on Tuesday it is banning the sales of iPhones that don’t ship with a charging brick. This decision comes two years after Apple stopped including charging bricks and earphones in the iPhone retail boxes to make them smaller and to reduce the carbon footprint. An order published by
