This week’s stories:
Why you should choose iPhone 16 or 16 Plus over iPhone 16 Pro
- I’d like to save you between $200 and $400. It’s easy: Don’t assume you must buy an iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max to get an excellent handset. The more-affordable iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are both brilliant.
iPhone 16 Pro: Not much new, but everything is better
- The iPhone 16 Pro is a much-refined iPhone. All the features that make the it pro have been improved.
iPhone 16 Pro users face intermittent touchscreen problems
- Some users report that their iPhone 16 Pros don’t properly detect all their touches and swipes, leading to a frustrating experience.
Don’t panic: Mysterious iOS 18 update for iPhone 16 is nothing to worry about
- Don’t be alarmed if your brand-new iPhone 16 prompts you to update to iOS 18 even though your phone is already running iOS 18. And also don’t freak out when you see a fear-inducing “Welcome to iPhone” screen after you update.
Apple Watch 10: The best gets gloriously better
- Larger, thinner, lighter and more lushly curvaceous than predecessors, the 10th anniversary Apple Watch is, technically, a redesign.
AirPods 4 review roundup: ANC really works without ear tips
- The first reviews of Apple AirPods 4 are in to answer the question, how well does active noise cancellation work without foam ear tips? The consensus: pretty well.
