iPhone 17, iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch Series 11 event reactions
Benjamin and Chance react to the September Apple event, with opinions in keynote order. Chance was there in person, so that includes some early hands-on thoughts of these new devices. That includes Apple’s unveiling of the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, iPhone 17, iPhone Air and the unmistakably orange iPhone 17 Pro series.
And in Happy Hour Plus, the pair talk about what products they are buying from this week’s announcements, and some more on Chance’s experience at Apple Park. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
