【iPhone】

1. Apple announced a September-quarter record revenue of $94.9 billion, driven by strong iPhone 16 sales and new product launches like the iPhone 16 lineup. iPhone revenue was $46.2 billion, marking a 6% year-over-year increase. The iPhone 16 models outperformed the iPhone 15 in sales, contributing to this growth.

2. iOS 18.2, set for December release, will introduce advanced Apple Intelligence features such as image generation tools for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 models. The update includes new non-AI features, enhancing the user experience. iOS 18.1, already released, is seeing double the adoption rate compared to iOS 17.1, driven by the new Apple Intelligence capabilities.

3. At least one iPhone 17 model will feature an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip. Apple is developing in-house chips for 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. However, these remain separate chips for now. The iPhone SE 4 will debut with an Apple 5G modem, but still use a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.

4. Apple plans to equip nearly all its products with its in-house Wi-Fi chip within about three years. The iPhone 17 Pro models will feature an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, expanding to the entire iPhone 18 lineup. This move aims to reduce component costs and enhance hardware-software integration.

2. The 13-inch M2 MacBook Air is available at a discounted price, but Apple has updated the MacBook Air lineup to start with 16GB of RAM. Future MacBook Pro models might feature OLED displays and a thinner design, providing compelling reasons for future upgrades.

3. New USB-C Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard require macOS Sequoia 15.1 for proper functionality, with issues reported on older macOS versions. Apple's new iMac and MacBook Pro models are the first Macs with native Center Stage support without a connected Studio Display.
