USB-C isn’t just on the iPhone 15, it’s also coming to the 2nd Generation AirPods Pro. Oh, don’t forget, it’s got MagSafe too.
The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) comes with enhanced sound quality and double the Active Noise Cancellation of the previous model. This means you can immerse yourself in your music or calls like never before, without being disrupted by external noise. The advanced Transparency mode also lets you stay connected to your surroundings when needed.
It also comes with Spatial Audio technology which gives a three-dimensional soundstage that makes movies, music, and games come to life. While immersive audio is nice, it would be lost without the best fit when it comes to the AirPods itself. The new AirPods Pro come with an expanded range of ear tip sizes to ensure the perfect fit for every user. The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) will be compatible with the Apple Vision Pro that is set to debut early next year in the U.S. This combination unlocks 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency.
No need for lightning anymore when you have a USB‑C connector to the AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Now, you can use a single cable to charge multiple devices, from your Mac and iPad to your AirPods and iPhone 15 series. USB-C isn’t the only thing new on the 2nd Generation AirPods with USB-C. It’s also got an IP54 rating for both the earbuds and case.
They incorporate recycled materials, such as 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets and 100% recycled gold in printed circuit boards. The packaging is redesigned to reduce waste, aligning with Apple’s goal to eliminate plastic from packaging entirely by 2025.
Pricing and Availability
The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Charging Case (USB‑C) will be available for USD$249 or MYR1,099.
For added personalization, these AirPods can be engraved for free, offering a mix of emoji, names, initials, and numbers.
Apple is pushing the boundaries with their new lineup of Apple Watches with the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The latest additions bring along with them several new features including a new processor – the S9 SiP, enhanced Siri capabilities, Precision Finding for iPhone with UWB and a brand new double tap gesture.

At the heart of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 lies the custom Apple silicon in the S9 SiP, representing Apple’s most advanced watch chip to date. This chip not only boosts overall performance but introduces novel features like the double tap gesture and on-device Siri with secure health data access. The Series 9 also incorporates a 4-core Neural Engine, capable of processing machine learning tasks twice as fast as its predecessor while maintaining an 18-hour battery life.

Navigating the Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 has become even more intuitive with the introduction of the double tap gesture. By tapping the index finger and thumb of their watch hand together twice, users can perform a range of actions with ease. This includes stopping timers, controlling music playback, answering phone calls, and even capturing photos using the Camera Remote. The gesture, enabled by the faster Neural Engine, will be available in a forthcoming software update.

Apple has pushed the display capabilities further, increasing the maximum brightness of the Series 9 to 2000nits, double that of its predecessor. The Ultra 2, on the other hand, has a higher 3000 nits brightness. This should mean that the two watch models should be legible even in bright sunlight, and the display can dim to just one nit in low-light environments.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 introduces the Modular Ultra watch face that takes full advantage of the larger display. It provides real-time data, including seconds, altitude, or depth, and offers an unprecedented level of customization for outdoor activities, sports, and water adventures.
Siri can now process requests directly on the device, eliminating the need for internet connectivity for certain tasks. This not only results in faster and more reliable responses but also maintains privacy. Siri can also access and log health data from the Health app, offering users more control over their health and fitness inquiries.
Both the Series 9 and Ultra 2 come with a second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip that enables Precision Finding for the iPhone 15 family which comes with the same chip. Your Apple Watch can literally guide you to your iPhone 15 with its visual, haptic and audio guidance.

The Ultra 2 continues to be the more rugged Apple Watch. Complete with an app ecosystem to support it, the Ultra 2 will be able to handle high altitudes and deep waters.
100% Carbon Neutral – If you choose correctly
Of course, as Apple progresses towards its 2030 environmental goal, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 now come with carbon-neutral options for straps. In fact, with these two models, the right pairing of the Watch and strap will mean that your Apple Watch is 100% Carbon Neutral.
This is thanks to a 78% reduction in emissions when it comes to transport and production as well as a sleeker, more compact box that allows for more Apple Watches to be transported. Apple has also empowered its partners to work towards being carbon neutral. As such, certain bands, like the new sports band are made completely of Carbon neutral and eco-friendly materials.
Apple Watch SE

Also along for the ride is the new Apple Watch SE which continues to offer core Apple Watch features at an affordable price. This year, the Apple Watch SE is being updated with support for low heart rate notifications, Fall Detection, Emergency SOS, Crash Detection, and watchOS 10.
Pricing and Availability
The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch SE are available on the official website and Apple Store app. The Series 9 starts at USD$399 or MYR1,899, and the SE begins at USD$249 or RM1,199.
The Apple Watch will be priced at USD$799 RM3,799. It is available in a sleek 49mm size and becomes carbon neutral when paired with the new Trail Loop or Alpine Loop bands. These bands are available in various colours, offering both style and sustainability.
Believe it or not, Apple’s Lightning connection has been with us since the Apple iPhone 5 was introduced in 2012. The Lightning cable and port had not changed in shape and look until last year’s iPhone 14 series. While it was understandable for Apple to work with the Lightning standard in 2012, where Micro-USB was still the mainstream standard, USB Type-C has brought an evolution to mobile connectivity and has done more for laptops and smartphones than even USB 3.0 standard. To be fair, we only saw one smartphone sporting the USB 3.0 port, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, to not very much success. In that sense, there are no good reasons for Apple to keep the Lightning connection with their top-of-the-line smartphone since Apple themselves have updated their iPad Pro and iPad Air series with USB Type-C ports. They must at least see some value on USB type-C in that case.
The European Union (EU) forced Apple’s hands last year before their launch of the iPhone 14 series. Apple had to start developing their iPhones with USB Type-C port instead of their traditional and rather iconic lightning port. That is the first big difference between the previous iPhone and the upcoming iPhone 15 series. That is not what they highlighted in their launch gambit though.

There is not much of a surprise with Apple’s latest regular iPhone 15 series. Most of the features are trickled down from Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro devices of last year. The Apple Silicon A16 Bionic, for example, is the same chip you find on the previous iPhone 14 Pro. The “island bar” as well, is a feature introduced in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro, now accessible for the more accessible Apple iPhone 15.
In a lot of ways, we see this Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus as sort of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series with USB type-C port. They share the same size as the previous iPhone 14 series as well at 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch respectively. They pack more pixels than before though since they are technically the iPhone 14 series devices at Super Retina XDR resolution. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus now also gets the updated 48-Megapixel main camera alongside a 24-Megapixel 2x Telephoto lens. No third lens here, as expected from a regular iPhone.
Other than the USB type-C connection, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus sports slightly differing visuals from before in terms of colours too. There is the usual black option, as expected. There are now Blue, Green, Yellow, and even Pink to consider for the iPhone 15 series. Of course, there will be a RED edition later.

The pinnacle of the iPhone has to be their Pro series models. The new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max takes everything the iPhone 14 Pro series had and turned them up to 11. This is the most advanced Apple iPhone ever. You might want to take a pinch of salt though when it comes to expecting big changes.
Apple A17 Pro – Advanced Does Not Begin to Describe it
The biggest change, other than the USB type-C port now found at the bottom of the device is its integrated chip. It is now called the Apple A17 Pro, no more ‘Bionic’ in their namesake. It is also the first 3nm chip that is commercially available on a smartphone device featuring 19 billion transistors in a single chip. There are two performance cores and four efficiency cores that power the iOS 17 device. They have also made the neural engine bigger at 16-cores just for on-device AI implementations that includes predictive texts, certain Siri functions, and more. They have update the GPU as well with new hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing cores with MetalFX support for the best-in-class graphics processing available on a smartphone. They even announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a game made for the current generation gaming consoles, will be available on the iPhone when they are available. PlayStation Studios are also adapting Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 into the iPhone which will be available later in the year. On top of all of that, the A17 Pro features a new ProRes codec for ProRes file processing and editing, Pro Display Engine for even better display experience on either the 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, and AV1 decoder. The A17 Pro even features a USB 3 controller that allows the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max to take full advantage of USB type-C.
Bigger, Better, More Lenses than You Need
While you cannot see the upgrade, Apple claims that the main camera features a larger sensor than before. It is still a 48-Megapixel sensor though underneath what they claim to be multiple lenses on the main camera. They claim that you can choose between 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm lenses for different feel and look for your photos. You can even set whichever focal lengths as your default length just so that it will get back to your preferred focal length when you launch the camera app. Instead of a 3x telephoto lens, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max now offers a 5x 24-Megapixel telephoto camera at 120mm focal length, the longest focal length featured on an iPhone ever. They also improved their 12-Megapixel ultra-wide camera at 13mm to also allow users to capture macro photos. In terms of software, the new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max cameras offer a new Smart HDR engine that allows for a more true-to-life photo to be captured with brighter highlights, rich midtones, and deep shadows. Thanks to LiDAR technology and the A17 Pro’s neural engine, low-light photos have never looked better on the iPhone.
It is not just photography that gets some needed boost though. You can now capture proper ProRes videos and connect the iPhone to an external recording device or medium via USB type-C. They also now allow you to capture videos with log encoding for even more flexibility in colour grading or correction. Most of all, you can now capture videos at 4K 60p for brilliant slow-motion videos in post editing. If you have an Apple Vision Pro or have ordered one, you will be delighted that the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max can capture something they call a Spatial video that you can use only specifically with Apple Vision Pro. We assume it is sort of an AR type 3D video that is captured by both the main camera and ultra-wide camera to be stitched into a single 3D video for that nifty augmented reality experience.
Titanium – Same As the Mars Rover

One of the more interesting parts of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is the way it is built though. While featuring the same sort of look as the iPhone 14 Pro, it is made from a different material that also offers slightly different colour options and look. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is now made of Titanium, a lightweight alloy with higher tensile strength than any metal material at its weight. That means that the new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are the lightest iPhone Pro models ever to grace our hands. While it is still an alloy product, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max still comes with MagSafe and Wi2 wireless charging support. They now come in a choice of black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium colour options.
Prices and Availability
Apple’s iPhone 15 series and iPhone 15 Pro series will be available for pre-orders from the 22nd of September 2023 onward and will ship out just a week after that on the 29th of September 2023 onward. The iPhone 15 will set you back from MRY 4,399 onward while the iPhone 15 Plus will set you back at least MYR 4,899. If you are opting for the more premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, they start at MYR 5,499 and MYR 6,499 respectively. For more information on the new Apple iPhone 15 series and iPhone 15 Pro series, you can head out to their website.
For avid YouTube users, the platform’s abundance of ads during video playback, especially on smart TVs, can sometimes be more than a minor annoyance. YouTube appears to be listening to its viewers and is testing a new approach to ad delivery that could provide a more seamless watching experience, albeit with longer ad breaks.
YouTube is recognizing that how we watch content is evolving. With more viewers enjoying longer videos on their smart TVs, the current frequency of ad interruptions might not align with the viewing experience. In response, YouTube is experimenting with reducing the number of ads shown but extending their duration.
For many viewers of long-form content on TV screens, having ads scattered throughout a video can be disruptive. Google’s research reveals that 79% of viewers prefer ads that are grouped together rather than spread out in smaller interruptions. To cater to this preference, YouTube is exploring options to provide fewer but longer ad breaks, creating a more seamless viewing experience on larger screens.
Improved Transparency
In addition to fewer, longer ad breaks, YouTube is considering enhancing the transparency of its ad experience. This may include providing viewers with better information about the duration of ad breaks, allowing users to prepare for more extended interruptions.
While these changes are currently experimental, YouTube tends to introduce them if they prove successful and enhance the viewer experience. So, if you’re a regular YouTube viewer on a smart TV, you can look forward to a potentially improved ad experience in the near future. However, if longer ad breaks are not your preference, YouTube Premium remains an ad-free alternative worth considering.
YouTube’s efforts to strike a balance between ads and content are in response to evolving viewer habits. As the platform continues to lead in streaming watch time on connected TVs, it aims to provide an experience that aligns better with the expectations of its audience.

Following a series of surprise unveilings, they’ve added another gem to their repertoire – the Huawei Mate X5. Positioned as a direct successor to the Mate X3, the Mate X5 delivers significant under-the-hood upgrades while keeping its design largely intact.

While the exterior design maintains its essence, the camera island on the back has slight tweaks. The camera lineup, however, remains unchanged. The Mate X5 comes with a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, accompanied by a 13-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide lens and a 12-megapixel f/3.4 periscope module with 5x optical zoom.
Under the hood, the Mate X5 packs up to 16GB of RAM and a capacious 1TB of storage. Although the official chipset details are unavailable, it is speculated to be the Kirin 9000s SoC, the same powerhouse that drives the recently launched Mate60 series. It’s a 5G-ready chip, made in China using SMIC’s 7nm process technology.

The device is available in a new Phantom Purple colour, joining the existing Feather White, Feather Black, Feather Gold, and Green Mountain options.
When someone tells us that they need a laptop that can do everything, we tend to recommend the modern-day gaming laptop. There is a good reason for that. Modern gaming laptops are not the most budget-friendly laptops to get when all you want to do is browse the web or entertain yourself with YouTube, Netflix, or even Amazon Prime Videos. But they are very good at doing everything beyond that too. You can easily play games casually with gaming laptops, they are powerful enough to quickly edit videos when you want to, and they are even perfect for running multiple screens at the same time so that your TV can easily become a multimedia hub for your home.
That does not mean that any other laptops are pretty much useless. Thin-and-light laptops have come a long way. More precisely, processor technology has advanced to a point where even a thin-and-light laptop can easily drive multiple screens and make rather good multimedia hubs on their own anyway. They are even powerful enough to become remote workstations for light video workflow even if you need them to be.
Take the new Acer Swift Edge 16 for example. It is powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen 7 7735U (up to) CPU. That CPU also includes an AMD Radeon 680M graphics baked into the CPU itself making the Swift Edge 16 an entry-level gaming machine more capable than most thin-and-light laptops in the market. Pair those with an impressive 16-inch OLED 120Hz display with 0.2 ms response time comes with more pixels than most entry-level gaming monitors, you have a winner of a package in the Swift Edge 16.
The point of the new Acer Swift Edge 16 though is not its gaming prowess. It can be a casual entry-level gaming machine when the mood takes you, but it is more its productivity capabilities that might really help. Since it is a powerful enough machine with up to 16GB of on-board LPDDR5 RAM, working with editing suites like Adobe Photoshop or even Illustrator is a breeze. With the high-resolution WQUXGA OLED 120Hz display with up to 400 nits of brightness as well, your images can be edited in rather accurate, vivid colours and with maximum details. The DCI-P3 100% colour gamut supported display with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification should also allow you to enjoy pretty much all sorts of contents from Netflix and YouTube in 4K resolution. Even if you are one of those that prefers to download movies and contents rather than streaming them, you will appreciate the 1TB (up to) SSD storage as well.

The 4K display is not just good for entertainment though. The expansive 16-inch display allows you to work with multiple documents without having to squint at every word. The Full HD webcam that supports up to 60fps in video capture and Temporal Noise reduction mic should also deliver a video calling experience like no other. You also get to enjoy all of these for up to 9 hours on a single charge, more than a full workdays’ worth of battery life. When you are on your desk with multiple monitors, you can either connect your Swift Edge 16 to the display via the regular HDMI 2.1 port or via USB Type-C port.
The best part about all of these is that the thin-and-light laptop only weighs 1.17kg and is just below 13mm thin. Thanks to the advanced TwinAir colling technology exclusively developed by Acer, the thin-and-light laptop should keep up with its thermal demands despite the powerful CPU. It looks unique and elegant too in its Flax White guise.
Price and Availability
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is now available from Acer’s authorized retails and concept stores across the nation in Flax White. It will set you back MYR 3,999 onward. In conjunction with Acer Day 2023, the first 30 buyers of the Acer Swift Edge 16 before the 30th of September 2023 will be entitled to gifts worth up to MYR 948 which includes a Porsche Design wireless mouse, an Austin backpack, and Touch n’ Go eWallet credit. Customers also stand a chance to win the Acer Day Monthly giveaways with a prize pool of MYR 100,000. You can head over to their redemption site to participate.
