​Apple Watch Series 3

The new Apple Watch Series 3 will have cellular connectivity, which consumers have been requesting for quite a while.

The heart rate sensor will also be upgraded to track lots more info, like resting heart rate, recovery rate, and arrhythmias that could signal health problems.

One thing no one mentioned: Why is the crown red?

​iPhone 8

The next generation of iPhone is here, and it comes in two different forms. First up is the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

The iPhone 8 series comes with a glass back and an aluminum edge bezel. Sadly, the design is largely unchanged from the iPhone 7 series aside from those tweaks.

The iPhone 8 will start at $699, with storage capacity available in 64 and 256 GB.

​The new A11 Bionic chip

​iPhone 8 Plus camera

The f1.8 and 2.8 apertures are, Apple said, better than the iPhone 7-series ones and will provide much better photo quality than before.

​New photo lighting features

Portrait mode is getting some improvements in the form of lighting effects. The dual cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus will be able to sense the environment, create a depth map, separate the subject from the background, create facial landmarks using machine learning, and adjust lighting to simulate different photo environments.

​Wireless charging that isn't proprietary

Luckily, Apple decided to ditch the proprietary standards they're known for to go with the Qi open wireless charging standard. That means your iPhone 8 will charge wirelessly on lots of different third-party devices.

iPhone X: What it is

The iPhone everyone hoped they were getting is the iPhone X (pronounced "ten"). An edge-to-edge display, OLED "super retina" screen, Face ID ... all of those are sadly reserved for the new iPhone X.

​The front-facing camera is all new

The tiny little bump in the top of the screen contains a lot of new technology that enables Face ID.

Called the True Depth camera, the front-facing assembly takes an infrared image of your face and matches it with a dot projection map to create a mathematical model of your appearance, much like older iPhones do with your fingerprint.

It also enables the use of portrait mode and its new lighting effects with the front-facing camera.

​iPhone X rear camera

The dual camera on the back of the iPhone X is new too, and it even offers physical image stabilization.

AirPower: Apple's wireless charging mat

You won't need to charge your iPhone or Apple Watch on Apple's new AirPower pad, but you can charge several Apple devices on it at once.

It will be available next year, and Apple didn't indicate a price.

​The full iPhone pricing lineup

The iPhone X will join its predecessors in this lineup, but it dwarfs them in price: It will set you back $999.
