WhatsApp has recently added a new feature to its Status updates, allowing users to tag contacts directly.

Currently available on Android for users with beta version 2.24.20.3 or higher, this update introduces a @ button that lets you mention specific contacts in your Status.

Once tagged, they receive both a notification and a message, ensuring they won’t miss your update. Tagged contacts can also reshare your Status, but only they will see their mention, preserving privacy.

Unlike Instagram, WhatsApp keeps the identity of the original Status creator hidden when tagged contacts reshare it. One key thing to note is that if you’ve blocked someone from viewing your Status, they can still see it if tagged using this feature.

This update, along with WhatsApp’s other hidden features, aims to make interactions more personal and dynamic on the platform.

Apple has unveiled a host of new hardware alongside its latest software. Leading the lineup is the iPhone 16 Pro, equipped with the robust A18 Pro chip, designed to handle sophisticated AI tasks on a stunning new display, or at least they said.

Joining the iPhone 16 Pro is the Apple Watch Series 10, featuring advanced health and fitness capabilities, such as Sleep Apnea detection without the need for a cumbersome sleep study. It also sports a sleeker design with a larger screen.

The AirPods 4 have also debuted, boasting a more ergonomic design and an improved charging case that charges faster and is easier to locate if lost. Additionally, Apple has updated the AirPods Pro 2 and Max with fresh software features and new colour options. Let us know which are your favourites in the comments.

Apple Watch

During the presentation on how the Apple Watch enhances lives, Tim Cook unveiled the new Apple Watch Series 10, boasting an ‘all-new design’ that resembles the previous model but is slightly slimmer. The most notable upgrade is the significantly larger display, offering 30% more screen area than the Series 6, paired with a display that’s 30% brighter, making it easier to view content quickly.

The enhanced display is showcased with the new Flux watch face. The Series 10 introduces fresh color options: Jet Black, Rose Gold, and Silver, all featuring increased scratch resistance. The smartwatch’s profile has been slimmed down to 9.7mm, affirming its status as a remarkably thin device. Additionally, Apple has upgraded the charging coil on the watch’s rear, promising reduced charging times.

For those seeking a more luxurious option, Apple is launching the Apple Watch Series 10 with a new Titanium finish. This model is 20% lighter than its Aluminum counterparts and boasts a more sophisticated appearance. However, acquiring this version will require a significant financial investment.

The Apple Watch Series 10 operates on the new S10 SoC, featuring a 4-core neural engine designed to efficiently manage AI tasks. This includes automatic fall detection and emergency services contact, requiring no user intervention. Additionally, the AI chip enables a built-in translation app on the watch, offering a more seamless alternative to using a phone for conversational assistance.

The Apple Watch Series 10 also boasts new workout enhancements. Notably, it features a new depth app that measures diving depth, making it an excellent tool for divers. Additionally, it includes a Tides app to forecast tidal movements, which is useful for beachgoers and surfers.

The Apple Watch Series 10 starts at $399.

AirPods

Several years after the release of AirPods 3, Apple has unveiled the AirPods 4 with a sleeker design aimed at enhancing comfort. The latest iteration is equipped with an H2 SoC and a revamped audio architecture, enabling features such as Personalized Spatial Audio for superior sound quality across various content.

The redesigned charging case is now more compact and features a USB-C connection, marking the end of the Lightning cable era. Additionally, noise cancellation, previously a feature of the AirPods Pro, is now standard in the base model. Borrowing from the Samsung Galaxy Buds, the AirPods 4 offer adaptive noise cancellation that adjusts based on your activities and whether you are speaking.

A new addition is a speaker in the charging case, integrated with the Find My network, to assist in locating misplaced earbuds more easily.

The AirPods Pro are also receiving an update. The AirPods Pro 2 will feature a range of capabilities aimed at identifying and preventing hearing loss. The new Hearing Protection feature, enabled by default, will utilize machine learning to detect loud noises and adjust the noise cancellation to safeguard your hearing. Additionally, the AirPods Pro 2 will include a mode that enables them to function as clinical-quality hearing aids.

Apple has updated the AirPods Max, introducing new colors and a USB-C charging feature, with prices starting at $549. The AirPods 4 are priced at $129 for the standard model and $179 for the model with noise cancellation.

iPhone 16 Series

The main event has arrived: a first look at the new iPhone 16. Apple introduces a new color-infused glass available in Ultramarine, Teal, and Pink, alongside the classic White and Black options.

The iPhone 16 inherits the Action Button from the iPhone 15 Pro, a programmable feature for executing various functions swiftly. Additionally, Apple has implemented a dedicated camera button that not only launches the camera app but also functions as a physical shutter, akin to a traditional camera.

The camera button operates similarly to a Mac touchpad; it’s more of a haptic sensor than a button. It can serve as a standard button for quick photo captures, but it also detects lighter touches and movements, allowing for on-the-fly photo setting adjustments without screen interaction. If Apple could integrate this technology to revive TouchID, it would be remarkable.

An enhanced camera system accompanies the new camera button. The iPhone 16 boasts a 48MP main sensor and an Ultrawide lens capable of capturing up to 2.6 times more light, enabling macro photography as well.

iPhone 16 Pro advances AI capabilities even further. The base model boasts a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max features a 6.9-inch screen, slightly larger than the iPhone 15 Pro’s. It maintains a Titanium finish and comes in four colors: Black, White, Natural Titanium, and ‘Desert,’ a subdued Rose Gold variant.

Powered by the A18 Pro chip, which shares the Neural Engine with the standard A18 but includes additional cache for professional tasks, Apple promises significant performance improvements over the iPhone 15 Pro. However, the difference in pure performance compared to the standard iPhone 16 may not be substantial.

The iPhone 16 Pro enhances photography with a 5x Telephoto lens, alongside the 48MP main camera and ultrawide lens, significantly boosting zoomed-in shot quality. It also promises superior distant object photography.

Audio quality receives an upgrade with four ‘studio-quality’ microphones, offering improved recording capabilities, particularly for video. The neural engine also supports professional voice filters to eliminate background noise or highlight a specific speaker’s voice.

The iPhone 16 is priced at $799 for the 128GB model, and the iPhone 16 Plus starts at $899, also with 128GB. The iPhone 16 Pro is available at $999 for 128GB, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max begins at $1,119 for 256GB of storage.
