Apple Watch Series 12 comes in two size classes, 42mm and 46mm, and Apple sells its bands under those same two labels. The catch this year is ceramic: Apple’s specifications list the ceramic case as 43mm and 47mm tall, a millimetre more than the aluminium and titanium cases in the same class, and it is…

Does the Apple Watch Series 12 Measure Blood Pressure? No, and Here Is What It Does Instead
No. The Apple Watch Series 12 does not measure blood pressure, and Apple has never said it does.

The Readiness score is one of the features fed by the more frequent…
Will Your iPhone 17 Pro Case Fit the iPhone 18 Pro? What Apple's Own Numbers Show

Two 14-Day Clocks Start When Your iPhone 18 Pro Arrives, and Apple Explains Neither Ending
Two separate 14-day clocks start on the day an iPhone 18 Pro is delivered, and Apple publishes what starts each one without publishing what happens when either runs out.

Moving to an iPhone 18 Pro: What Apple's Published Transfer Instructions Cover, and Where They Stop
Apple’s published instructions for moving to an iPhone 18 Pro amount to three preparation steps and one free support session.

Your iPhone 18 Pro Arrives September 18: What Apple Publishes for the Days Before It Does
iPhone 18 Pro reaches buyers on Friday, September 18, and the useful preparation happens on the phone you already own rather than the one in transit.

Changing or Cancelling an iPhone 18 Pro Order: Apple's Sales Policies Are the Only Published Answer
Apple has published no instructions for changing or cancelling an iPhone 18 Pro order after you place it.

Apple has published a start date for iPhone 18 Pro deliveries, Friday, September 18, and a shipping rule that applies to it, but it has not published an arrival date for any individual configuration.

Apple Intelligence at Work: The Device List, the 16 Languages and the Regions Apple Leaves Out
Apple Intelligence launches with iOS 27 on Monday, September 14 in 16 languages, and Siri AI arrives the same day as a beta in English only.

iPhone 18 Pro ships with no SIM tray at all in 12 countries, and Apple publishes the list.

iPhone 18 Pro for Business: Every Price Apple Publishes Is the Consumer One
Apple has published no volume price, no business discount and no corporate price list for anything it announced on September 9.

iPhone 18 Pro Add-Ons: Apple Has Not Priced AppleCare+, and AppleCare One Family Lands September 14
The add-ons offered alongside an iPhone 18 Pro split cleanly into three groups: one Apple has not priced at all, one that does not exist until two days after pre-orders open, and one that costs nothing.

iPhone 18 Pro Trade-In Credit: What It Takes Off $1,199, and the One Route It Does Not Touch
Apple Trade In credit is applied instantly at checkout, so it comes straight off the purchase price of an iPhone 18 Pro rather than arriving later as a bill credit.

iPhone 18 Pro vs Pro Max: Apple's Spec Sheet Differs on Four Lines and Matches on the Rest
Apple’s own specification sheet separates the iPhone 18 Pro from the iPhone 18 Pro Max on four lines: screen size, physical size and weight, battery ratings and price.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 with 256GB, and the three capacities above it add $200, $400 and $600 to that figure. What Apple does not publish anywhere is how much of any tier is actually free once iOS 27 is preinstalled, which is why the tier has to be chosen from the way…
iPhone 18 Pro Night Mode by Focal Length: What Apple Published, and Where the Gaps Are
Apple has published one substantial low-light claim for iPhone 18 Pro, and it belongs to a single focal length.

Apple's press image for the Main camera at its…
