Apple has unveiled a new generation of products spanning smartphones, smartwatches and wireless audio. The iPhone 18 Pro series, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 bring upgrades designed around performance, artificial intelligence, health, photography and everyday connectivity.

The latest lineup continues Apple's strategy of making its devices work more closely together, with features such as Apple Intelligence, Siri AI, health insights, Live Translation and personalised experiences appearing across multiple products.

Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo, its first-ever foldable iPhone.
