Alongside the new watches, Apple has also announced the AirPods 5.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 – Price and Availability in India

The Apple Watch Series 12 starts at $399, which is roughly Rs. 37,956, while the Apple Watch Ultra 4 starts at $799, or around Rs. 76,000. Pre-orders for both models begin today, with sales starting September 18, 2026.

In India, the Apple Watch Series 12 has a starting price of Rs. 56,900. The Apple Watch Ultra 4 starts at Rs. 1,09,900.

The Apple Watch Series 12 comes in 42mm and 46mm sizes and offers aluminium, titanium and ceramic case options. The aluminium versions are available in dark bronze, black, light gold and space grey. The titanium models come in radiant gold and natural titanium, while the newly introduced ceramic case is offered in pearl white and night blue.

The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is available in natural titanium and black titanium finishes. Apple has also added new colour choices for its Trail Loop, Alpine Loop and Ocean Band straps. The Ocean Band now uses translucent silicone and comes in translucent grey, kelp and black.

Apple Watch Series 12 – Key Features

The Apple Watch Series 12 introduces Apple’s new Health Sensing System, which combines new optical and electrical heart sensors. According to Apple, its optical heart sensor uses larger and more power-efficient green LEDs and checks heart rate every five seconds throughout the day. The watch can also measure heart rate variability, or HRV, up to 24 times more frequently than the previous model. Apple has added two types of HRV readings: Recovery HRV and overall HRV.

One of the key new additions is the Readiness feature. It looks at recent activity, training load, vital signs and sleep data to generate a daily score between 0 and 10. Based on the score, the watch provides one of four recommendations, Recover, Pace Yourself, Ready, or Go For It.

Apple claims the Watch Series 12 can last up to 24 hours with everyday use, representing a 25 percent improvement over the previous generation. A 15-minute charge can provide up to 12 additional hours of battery life, according to the company.

The smartwatch also brings Siri AI through watchOS 27. Apple has introduced a dedicated Siri app and a Siri Modular watch face, allowing users to continue conversations and access Apple Intelligence features directly from their wrist.

Under the hood, the Apple Watch Series 12 is powered by Apple’s new S11 chipset. The chip also enables new Audio Intelligence features including Sound Recognition, Live Rewind, Siri Recap and Shazam integration.

Apple Watch Ultra 4 – Key Features

The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is Apple’s latest rugged smartwatch, designed with longer endurance in mind. It gets the same Health Sensing System and S11 chipset as the Watch Series 12 along with the new Readiness feature that combines activity, training load, vitals and sleep information into a score from 0 to 10.

However, the Ultra 4 is designed more specifically for extended outdoor activities, with a focus on longer battery life. Apple says it can provide up to 50 hours of battery life during everyday use and up to 84 hours when Low Power Mode is enabled. A 15-minute charge can provide up to 18 hours of battery life.

Apple has also redesigned the pedometer model and introduced new machine learning algorithms on the Watch Ultra 4. These improvements are claimed to deliver better distance measurements during indoor workouts and more accurate step counting throughout the day.

AirPods 5 Also Launched

Apple has also introduced the AirPods 5, bringing Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to its entry-level wireless earbuds. The new AirPods start at $129.

Apple claims the AirPods 5 can block up to 50 percent more external noise than the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. They feature redesigned acoustic architecture and an updated Adaptive EQ system, which are designed to provide richer and more detailed sound. Transparency mode has also been improved to make nearby voices and other sounds feel more natural.

Both AirPods 5 models support Adaptive Audio, which automatically combines Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode depending on the surroundings. Conversation Awareness can also lower the playback volume when the user starts speaking.

The earbuds support Live Translation when paired with a compatible iPhone that has Apple Intelligence enabled.

Apple is also offering a $149 version of the AirPods 5 that comes with a Wireless Charging Case. This model adds swipe-based volume controls on the earbud stems and offers longer battery life.

Apple says the version can provide up to five hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled, or up to 22 hours when used with the charging case. The case supports Apple Watch and Qi wireless chargers in addition to USB-C charging.

The AirPods 5 are available to pre-order starting today with the sale set to begin on September 18.

• Apple unveiled iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max with A20 Pro chip, improved AI features and vapor chamber cooling.
• Major camera upgrade includes 48MP Fusion main sensor with variable aperture, enhanced Night mode, new Pro controls, Smart Focus and Apple Reference Image for authenticity.
• Pre-orders start Sept 12, launch Sept 18; iPhone 18 Pro priced at $1,199 (up to 2TB), Pro Max at $1,299; available in Black, Light Blue, Glacier and Burgundy.

Apple has launched the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max bringing upgrades in performance, cameras, battery life and AI capabilities. The two 18 Series models were among the first products unveiled at Apple’s big event today. While the new models continue with the same overall design introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro series, Apple has made some changes to the rear design and added new colour options. Here’s everything you must know about these new iPhones.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max – Key Features

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max retain the Dynamic Island but Apple has made it smaller on the new models. The updated Dynamic Island can also display up to three Live Activities at the same time, making it easier to keep track of multiple ongoing activities.

Apple is also positioning the iPhone 18 Pro as its ultimate AI-focused smartphone. The phones feature a second Neural Engine along with several other improvements designed to boost AI-related performance.

Powering the iPhone 18 Pro series is Apple’s new A20 Pro chip. It is built using a 2nm manufacturing process and features a 6-core CPU with two performance-focused super cores and four efficiency cores. The chip also includes a 7-core GPU, which Apple says delivers 40 percent faster graphics performance. The Neural Engine has been upgraded to 32 cores, while memory bandwidth has increased by 50 percent.

Apple has also focused on keeping performance stable over longer periods. The A20 Pro is directly connected to a vapor chamber allowing heat to be moved away from the chip more effectively. The next-generation vapor chamber is designed to help the iPhone 18 Pro maintain high performance during demanding tasks.

Battery life is another major focus of the new Pro models. Apple says the iPhone 18 Pro matches the battery life of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max can deliver up to 30 hours of battery life. Wired charging has also been improved, although Apple has not provided further charging details in the information shared so far.

iPhone 18 Pro Series Gets a Variable Aperture Camera

The camera system receives one of the biggest upgrades on the iPhone 18 Pro series. The 48MP Fusion main camera now features a variable aperture, and this feature is available on both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max rather than being exclusive to the larger Max model.

The variable aperture allows the camera to narrow the aperture when needed, which can provide a better depth of field. Apple has also improved Night mode with night shots now being captured faster while offering better image quality.

The Camera app gets new Pro controls as well. Users can customise the camera interface and access more manual controls, including the ability to adjust aperture and shutter speed themselves. A new Smart Focus mode is designed to make it easier for the camera to lock onto a subject. Photographic Styles have also become more advanced with new texture controls and additional options for adjusting the look of photos.

Apple has introduced another interesting camera-related feature called Apple Reference Image. The feature is designed to help prove that a photo is authentic and has not been generated by AI.

It works by adding metadata to an image and storing a reference image alongside the edits made to the photo. This means the original source material can be checked and verified even after edits have been applied.

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max – Price and Availability

Apple will open pre-orders for the new iPhone 18 Pro models on September 12, while the official launch and sales will begin on September 18.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 and is available with up to 2TB of storage for the first time. The iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299, which is a $100 increase compared with the iPhone 17 Pro models.

In India, iPhone 18 Pro starts at INR164900 and iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at INR179900.

As for colours, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are available in four finishes, which are Black, Light Blue, Glacier (Silver) and Burgundy (Red).

Apple is also launching AppleCare One Family in the US, giving customers another option for covering their Apple devices.

On the other hand, OnePlus 16 is expected to take a different approach to its camera setup. According to the leak, the phone could feature a 200-megapixel primary camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor. The exact sensor model has not been revealed yet. The high-resolution main camera could be paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera. The telephoto unit is also expected to offer 3x optical zoom.

iQOO 16 vs OnePlus 16

The camera hardware is not the only area where the two upcoming phones are expected to differ. Both models are tipped to feature high-end displays, although their specifications could be quite different.

The iQOO 16 is reportedly set to feature a Samsung AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The OnePlus 16, on the other hand, could come with a 1.5K OLED panel supporting a higher 185Hz refresh rate.

Both smartphones are expected to use Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset.

The iQOO 16 could pack an 8,400mAh battery, while the OnePlus 16 is tipped to offer an even larger 9,000mAh battery. Both phones are also expected to support 100W wired charging. For wireless charging, the iQOO 16 could support up to 40W, while the OnePlus 16 may offer faster 50W wireless charging.

On the software side, both smartphones are tipped to run Android 17. The iQOO 16 is expected to use OriginOS 7 interface, while the OnePlus 16 could ship with ColorOS 17.

• Vivo X500 unboxing video leaked showing 6.59″ display, 90W charger, and bundled white silicone case.
• Vivo has officially teased X500 Pro Max design with large circular camera module, telephoto extender, and photography grip.
• The X500 lineup is expected to debut BluePrint 900 sensor, CIPA 7.0 OIS, 17-stop dynamic range, 4K 120fps Log video and native 8K live streaming.

Vivo is preparing to launch its X500 series in China on September 21. And ahead of the launch, one of the upcoming phones has already made its way into a retail store and the other one’s first look has been officially teased.

Vivo X500 White Variant Unboxing Video Leaks

A Vietnamese importer has posted a full unboxing video of the standard model in its white colour option. The video was recorded inside a Vivo retail store in China indicating that the importer appears to have obtained the device through a retail channel. It gives us a closer look at the phone itself as well as the accessories included in the box.

The White Vivo X500 shown in the video is said to feature a 6.59-inch display. Vivo is reportedly bundling a 90W charger with the smartphone along with a white silicone protective case that matches the phone’s colour.

The device could not be used normally during the unboxing because apps could not be opened. This is likely due to a software lock that prevents full functionality before the official launch.

The unboxing also provides a more complete view of the X500’s physical design. Earlier images had only shown the rear camera module on the phone’s other colour variant. However, the latest video shows the white model including its display, charging adapter and bundled case.

As for the camera hardware, Vivo has already confirmed most of the key specifications. The standard X500 is expected to use a 1/1.28-inch main camera sensor. This is the same Sony LYT-828 sensor used on the Vivo X300 Pro. The phone will also reportedly feature a 64-megapixel Lytia-610 telephoto camera with CIPA 5.5 image stabilization.

Vivo X500 Pro Max Design Officially Revealed

In a separate development, Vivo has now officially provided the first look at the design of the X500 Pro Max. The newly released image shows the Vivo X500 Pro Max with a large circular camera module positioned toward the upper section of the rear panel. The camera housing appears to rise gradually from the back of the phone.

The X500 Pro Max will be offered in at least two colour options including black and orange. Vivo has also shown the smartphone with a dedicated telephoto lens and a professional photography grip. These accessories give the device a more traditional camera-like appearance and are intended for users who want greater shooting control and more zoom reach.

The Vivo X500 Pro is expected to adopt a design similar to the Pro Max, although it should come in a smaller and more compact body. The standard X500, on the other hand, is rumoured to use a different camera layout, with its rear camera module placed in the top-left corner.

Vivo X500 Series – What To Expect?

Vivo is positioning the X500 lineup primarily around its camera and video capabilities. The company’s stated aim is to make the series a first choice for photography while also making it a go-to option for video recording.

Vivo has highlighted a 17-stop dynamic range, 10-bit 4:2:2 video encoding and support for the ACES colour encoding system. The phones will also feature dedicated professional Log video hardware enabling 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording.

Moreover, it will support native 8K Live output and 8K Live streaming on supported platforms. These features are expected to make the upcoming Vivo flagship lineup particularly appealing to users who want more advanced photography and video recording capabilities.

• OnePlus 16 tipped to debut with three custom gaming chips (P4 display, G3 network, T3 touch) enhancing screen response, connectivity, and touch input.
• It will run on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro SoC built on TSMC’s 2nm process with Oryon CPU cores clocked above 5GHz for improved performance.
• The launch is expected in October 2026 and other rumoured specs include BOE’s Oriental Screen, ColorOS 17 optimisations and FPS game studios for tuning.

It appears OnePlus is taking gaming-focused technology to the next level with the upcoming OnePlus 16. We have previously reported on upcoming e-sports triple-core technology for OnePlus 16 and now tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has shared new details. According to the tipster, this technology will consist of three dedicated chips developed by OnePlus specifically to improve different aspects of the gaming experience. Here’s what we know so far.

OnePlus 16 To Get Three Dedicated Gaming Chips

According to a recent Weibo post by tipster DCS, OnePlus 16 is going to be the first smartphone to use all three chips in addition to the main processor.

The three custom chips are reportedly named the P4 display chip, G3 network chip and T3 touch chip. It is suggested that each chip is expected to focus on a specific area of gaming performance rather than handling the same task.

The P4 display chip is said to help lower screen response times, while the G3 network chip should focus on maintaining a more stable connection during gaming. The T3 touch chip, meanwhile, is expected to improve touch response by allowing inputs to register faster.

OnePlus is also reportedly working directly with FPS game studios to optimise the system for actual gaming scenarios. This suggests the company is not only developing the hardware but is also tuning the technology around popular competitive games.

OnePlus 16 To Get Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro

Apart from the gaming chips, the upcoming flagship will still rely on a separate primary processor. The smartphone is tipped to be among the first devices powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The upcoming flagship processor is reportedly being manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process and could feature new Oryon CPU cores with clock speeds exceeding 5GHz.

The custom gaming chips are expected to work alongside the main chipset rather than replace it.

The Snapdragon chipset is also expected to deliver higher IPC or instructions per cycle, which should contribute to improved overall processing performance.

OnePlus 16 – What Else We Know So Far?

Based on previous leaks, OnePlus 16 is also expected to feature a new-generation Oriental Screen display developed jointly with BOE. While display hardware is getting an upgrade, the software experience could also receive considerable attention.

The phone is expected to run ColorOS 17 as Oppo and OnePlus have reportedly spent several months optimising the software ahead of the launch. This work is said to include tuning animations and improving resource management to make the overall interface feel smoother.

As of now, none of these details has been officially confirmed by OnePlus yet. The OnePlus 16 is currently expected to launch in October. We can definitely expect more details to emerge via leaks and teasers before the smartphone becomes official.

Samsung has revised the prices of two of its 5G smartphones in India. The Samsung Galaxy M47 5G and Galaxy F70 Pro 5G have received a Rs 3,000 price increase across all their listed RAM and storage variants. The revised prices are effective from September 9, 2026.

With this latest revision, both smartphones have become significantly more expensive than their launch prices. The Galaxy M47 5G was introduced in India earlier this year, while the Galaxy F70 Pro 5G arrived only last month. Here are more details about the revised prices.

Samsung Galaxy M47 5G New Price in India

The Samsung Galaxy M47 5G is now Rs 3,000 more expensive across all three variants. The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model has gone from Rs 32,999 to Rs 35,999. Meanwhile, the 8GB + 128GB variant now costs Rs 39,999 instead of Rs 36,999.

The top-end 8GB + 256GB version has also received the same hike, taking its price from Rs 41,999 to Rs 44,999.

Samsung Galaxy F70 Pro 5G New Price in India

The Galaxy F70 Pro 5G, interestingly, has received an identical price revision.

Its 6GB + 128GB variant now sells for Rs 35,999, up from Rs 32,999. The 8GB + 128GB model has increased from Rs 36,999 to Rs 39,999, while the 8GB + 256GB variant now costs Rs 44,999 compared to the earlier Rs 41,999.

Galaxy M47 and F70 Pro – New Prices Compared To Launch Prices

The latest price revision is particularly notable because both phones have already seen major price increases since they first went on sale.

The Samsung Galaxy M47 5G was launched in India in June 2026 with a starting price of Rs 22,999. The same base 6GB + 128GB variant is now priced at Rs 35,999. That means the current price is Rs 13,000 higher than its launch price.

Similarly, the Galaxy F70 Pro 5G has also seen a substantial increase in a much shorter period. It launched in India just last month with a starting price of Rs 25,999 for the base variant. The same 6GB + 128GB configuration now costs Rs 35,999, which is Rs 10,000 more than its launch price.

As a result, both smartphones now sit in a noticeably higher price segment than when they were originally introduced.

Samsung has not provided a specific reason for this latest price revision and the new prices are applicable from September 9, 2026.

According to OPPO’s promotional material, the new lineup will consist of the Find X10E, Find X10, and Find X10 Pro Max. Cameras will be one of the biggest highlights of the series with OPPO taking a particularly aggressive approach to high-resolution imaging.

The Find X10 is being positioned as an all-round flagship and will feature a dual 200-megapixel camera setup. The Find X10 Pro Max will go even further, featuring three 200-megapixel cameras designed to cover photography as well as video recording across different focal lengths.

OPPO is also bringing its Hasselblad imaging experience to the new flagship phones under what it calls the Hasselblad Ultra-Clear Original Camera system. The Pro Max model is expected to offer considerable flexibility thanks to its triple 200-megapixel configuration. OPPO has already confirmed a Samsung HPC sensor for the main camera, while reports indicate that it will be accompanied by two Samsung HP5 sensors serving the ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras.

The Find X10 Pro Max‘s main camera will use a 200-megapixel Samsung HPC sensor with a 1/1.3-inch sensor size. It will feature DeepPix Technology, a 17EV Cinematic High Dynamic Range, CIPA 6.5 professional-grade image stabilisation, and a large F1.5 aperture.

The ultra-wide camera will also use a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor measuring 1/1.56 inches. It will offer a 124-degree field of view and an F2.2 aperture with OPPO claiming that its light intake has increased by 102%.

Completing the rear camera setup is another 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor measuring 1/1.56 inches.

It will feature CIPA 7.5 professional-grade image stabilisation, an F2.1 large aperture and support for 10cm telemacro photography.

OPPO has also highlighted the Find X10 Pro Max’s video capabilities by sharing a 4K 60fps HDR video sample. The footage demonstrates the phone’s ability to capture a 17EV dynamic range.

The 4K 60fps HDR recording works directly in the standard video mode without requiring any special settings. OPPO says the system can preserve skin tones, facial details and hair texture even in scenes with strong contrast. It is also designed to prevent highlights from becoming overexposed while retaining details in darker shadow areas.

The phone is claimed to maintain consistent colours and brightness while keeping skin and other natural tones looking realistic from the subject through to the background.

8,000mAh Silicon-Carbon Batteries Confirmed

Battery capacity is another major highlight of the upcoming Find X10 series. OPPO has officially confirmed that both the Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max will feature large 8,000mAh silicon-carbon batteries.

The batteries are designed for five years of durability and offer an energy density of 867Wh/L. OPPO says they can support up to six hours of 4K 60fps video recording. A dedicated power management chip will also help maintain stable performance when the battery level becomes low.

The two phones will additionally feature a new 1-nit eye-care display designed to offer a more comfortable viewing experience. ColorOS 17 will come pre-installed, while the Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max will be powered by Dimensity 9-series chipsets, respectively.

OPPO Watch S2 and OPPO Enco X4 Reservation Also Begins

The upcoming OPPO event will not be limited to smartphones. The company is also preparing to introduce the Watch S2 smartwatch and Enco X4 wireless earbuds.

The Enco X4 will be positioned as a flagship audio product developed with Danish audio expertise. The wireless earbuds are also rumoured to support real-time AI translation similar to the feature offered by Apple’s ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the Watch S2 will also make its debut alongside the new Find X10 smartphones. With reservations now underway, OPPO is expected to reveal more information about the launch event and its products ahead of the official announcement in China.
