Apple Watches can do a lot for those in the Apple ecosystem, although it's important to remember that the company is currently in a big patent dispure with a company called Masimo. The latest on this front was that a federal appeals court upheld the US International Trade Commission's ruling that Apple cannot sell Apple Watches with the blood oxygen sensing feature. Keep that in mind when buying a new one.

WWDC 2025: Apple just announced two big new AirPods upgrades
WWDC 2025 is underway, and Apple is certainly pulling out all the stops with improvements coming for the best iPhones and more. However, we can't ignore some big changes are coming to our AirPods as well. Apple has announced two new features coming for AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and AirPods Pro 2. These features aim to help improve the quality of your voice with updates to audio recording, as well as the ability to control your camera with a touch. Here's what you need to know about how you can use these new AirPods abilities with your Apple devices in the near future. One of the most common uses for headphones now is for taking phone calls. But, as we all know, the quality can often leave a lot to be desired. This has never been more prevalent as users record TikTok videos and Instagram Reels with their headphones. The first upgrade for Apple's AirPods is the addition of "studio-quality" audio recording. This could be a major win for anyone who records interviews, podcasts, or any form of media on their headphones. When combined with the already available Voice Isolation feature, you may never need to have a lackluster or hard-to-understand recording again. This sound quality won't just affect your content, as it will also improve your phone calls. This sound quality, when combined with the H2 chip, beamforming microphones, and computational audio, will apparently make your voice sound more natural. Studio-quality audio recording and improved call quality will work on all compatible iPhones, iPads and Macs. They also support the Camera app, Voice Memos, dictation in Messages, video conferencing apps like Webex, and compatible third-party camera apps. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It isn't just recording better audio that's being added to the AirPods, as Apple is also introducing a new camera remote to its earbuds. You will be able to use your AirPods to remotely control your Camera app, or a compatible third-party app, with a tap. For instance, you can simply press the AirPod's stem to take a photo. Alternatively, users can press and hold the stem to activate the video, and then repeat that gesture to end the recording. This may prove a real lifesaver for anyone who likes to record themselves or take a simple group photo. No more will we have to run back to the camera to start the recording, or have to endure the mad panic of setting a timer for a photo. Both of these features will be available for testing starting today through the Apple Developer Program, while a public beta will be available from next month. Meanwhile, the public release is set for fall as a free firmware update alongside iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. For the latest news out of today's conference, check our WWDC 2025 live blog.

Welcome to the New Mac, Now With More ‘Windows'
If Microsoft's Windows operating system popularized the multi-application interface, then Apple is trying to imagine what your floating tabs would look like if they were truly see-through glass panes. MacOS has jumped from macOS 15 Sequoia all the way to macOS 26, and it will sport a new look to bring it in line with every other Apple OS. There's not much need to worry. Apple showed at WWDC25 how macOS 26 will still be very familiar to anybody with experience with Apple's UI, but there are a few new features that will make Mac a little easier to use alongside an iPhone. Taking a page from the Apple Vision Pro and its 'glassmorphism'-type aesthetic, everything on Mac now sports a 'Liquid Glass' look, in line with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. This means all your regular borders around your open windows are semi-transparent. The menu bar is now completely transparent, while the Dock is similarly changed to have this glassy look. This version of macOS, dubbed Tahoe in honor of the freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains, will also have window buttons with more-rounded, bubble-like designs. If you were hoping for a splash of vibrancy on your desktop, there are more options to color your various folders, and you can add customized emojis to give more visual flair to your desktop. Apple was adamant that Mac users want more 'Continuity' with iPhone. Last year brought iPhone mirroring, but now users will be able to use their Phone app synced from their iPhone. Users will be able to see their Contacts and host both audio and video calls. This new Mac app also works with live translations and call screening introduced on iOS 26. If you have your iPhone nearby your Mac, macOS 26 will also provide quick updates about your incoming Uber ride or Calendar events. You'll be able to take actions on your iPhone from these Live Activity popups through the iPhone mirroring app. If you're one of those Mac users who often forgets Spotlight exists, Apple hopes you'll find it far more useful with enhanced controls for searching for that one PDF or image. Better yet, Spotlight should also support third-party cloud storage services. Spotlight should include more capabilities to take actions without having to pick up a mouse or move to the trackpad. You should be able to take specific actions in some apps, like sending an email or creating a note. In apps that work with Apple's API, you may be able to take more complex actions. Apple showed how Spotlight could find a specific layer in a photo editing app using Spotlight. Notably, Apple didn't relate this as any kind of newfangled 'AI' capability, despite the feature having strong agentic undertones. All your regular widgets across Apple's ecosystem, like your stock tickers or weather app, will have this kind of digital glass look that will showcase a modicum of transparency for what's behind each application. This is most apparent with the revised Safari browser. Apple's older grey box now sports an address bar that acts more like a windowpane. Sidebars and toolbars similarly showcase more of what's happening underneath. The new look may take some getting used to, but despite its glassy appearance, not so much is changing that you won't be able to find all your usual functions. I personally don't see much wrong with the glass-like texture now overriding the entire Apple ecosystem, though it could make the experience feel same-y whether I'm diving into my Mac for heads-down work or tapping on my iPad mini for quick note-taking. Other than looks, the Mac itself isn't getting so many obvious enhancements. While the iPhone is getting a Preview-type app and the iPad may be better at multitasking, the macOS 26 can instead look forward to Messages that will let users set a background image and create polls. The Messages app will facilitate new AI translation capabilities as well. If you were one of those strange people who still used AI-generated Genmojis after the first try, then you'll be happy to know the update will let you combine two emojis in one. We're standing ready to see what a combination of the grapes and poop emojis looks like.
