Split View, a layout that puts two apps side by side on one screen, is coming to an iPhone for the first time.

Apple Reference Image is a new capture mode built into the camera system on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple has never published a feature like it for any earlier iPhone.

Apple states that AirPods 5 run up to 4 hours with Active Noise Cancellation on, or up to 5 hours on the model with the Wireless Charging Case, and up to 20 or 22 hours total with the case topping them up. It has never published a milliamp-hour figure for either battery, in the earbuds…
iPhone 18 Pro in Australia: Why the Storage Jump Costs More Than It Does in the US
Apple’s Australian store prices iPhone 18 Pro from A$2,099 at 256GB up to A$4,499 at 2TB, more than doubling across the range. The same move in the US, from $1,199 to $2,399, exactly doubles. The recurring complaint that storage costs Australian buyers proportionally more than it costs American ones holds up once Apple’s own price…
iPhone 18 Pro costs C$1,749 in Canada, and iPhone Duo sits just under C$3,000
Apple’s Canadian store lists iPhone 18 Pro from C$1,749, iPhone Duo from C$2,999, Apple Watch Ultra 4 from C$1,099 and Apple Watch Series 12 from C$549.

iPhone 18 Pro and Apple Watch in the EU: Apple's Software Gap Is Wider Than Siri AI Alone
Apple’s own pages carve the European Union out of three separate pieces of its new software this fall, not one.

iPhone 18 Pro in India: The Price Complaint Apple Answers, and the Import Question It Does Not
Apple India lists iPhone 18 Pro from ₹1,64,900 and iPhone 18 Pro Max from ₹1,79,900, among the highest starting figures Apple publishes anywhere for this phone.

Siri AI Does Not Work Everywhere on Day One: The Four Limits Apple Has Published

Apple Watch Series 9 and watchOS 27: Which New Health Features Actually Arrive
watchOS 27 will install on an Apple Watch Series 9, but the free update does not hand that watch the new Health Sensing System Apple announced alongside Series 12 and Ultra 4. Apple publishes a list of what watchOS 27 brings to already-owned watches, and the five-second heart rate sampling, the rebuilt HRV measurements and…
iPhone Duo's 44-Hour Battery Claim Is Real, but It Is Not the Whole Number
Apple does publish a 44-hour battery figure for iPhone Duo, so the number itself is not invented. What is getting flattened into a single headline is that 44 hours applies only to video playback on the phone’s outer display. Apple’s own tech specs list two lower figures alongside it, for the inner display and for…
iPhone Duo Colors: Why Night Sky and Star White Are Not the Dark Blue Everyone Expected
iPhone Duo does not come in a color called dark blue. Apple’s own product page and press release name exactly two finishes for the foldable iPhone: Night Sky and Star White.

Where Apple Intelligence Actually Works: The EU and China Questions Apple Answers

Siri AI FAQ: English First, Five Languages in October, and the EU Gap

Apple Intelligence FAQ: 16 Languages, Daily Limits and a Price Apple Has Not Set
Apple Intelligence covers 16 languages when iOS 27 arrives Monday, applies daily limits to its heaviest features without ever publishing a number, and already carries Apple’s own confirmation that a paid tier is coming, just not what it will cost. Those three facts answer most of what people ask about Apple Intelligence this week. Apple…
iOS 27 Update FAQ: The Six Questions Apple's Own Pages Already Answer
iOS 27 becomes a free update for a long list of iPhones on Monday, September 14, and the oldest model that qualifies is the iPhone 11 and the iPhone SE (2nd generation), not the iPhone 12 that keeps getting repeated.

AirPods 5 Features That Need More Than the Earbuds, According to Apple
Several of the features Apple lists for AirPods 5 do not run on the earbuds by themselves.

Does AirPods 5 Have Hearing Test or Hearing Protection? What Apple Lists Instead

Do AirPods 5 and the Wireless Charging Case Model Have Different Earbuds?
Apple’s own pages rate the standard AirPods 5 at up to 4 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation on, and the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case at up to 5 hours, even though the tech specs for both list the same earbud weight, the same dimensions, and the same H2 chip. Apple has…
AirPods 5 at $129: What You Actually Get, and What Only the $149 Model Adds
AirPods 5 at $129 does have Active Noise Cancellation, but it does not carry the 5-hour ANC figure or the stem volume swipe that keeps showing up attached to both AirPods 5 models.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4: The Health Sensing Questions Apple's Pages Actually Answer
