On Monday, Apple Apple held one of its flashy media events, showing off its next round of iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches. These are three of its biggest products, and all of the design tweaks feel very familiar to Apple’s current universe. But Apple also showed off some new tricks, like sleep apnea detection on the Apple Watch and a new feature that instantly turns a pair of AirPods Pro into headphones.
