Apple on Tuesday unveiled new cheaper watches and iPhones and refreshed the entry-level iPad. But it also announced the pricing and release dates for new subscription services, including its long-awaited Netflix rival Apple TV+ - new ways for Apple to keep squeezing more money from consumers. If there was one takeaway from  Apple's  big iPhone event Tuesday, it's that Apple really wants you to own its products, no matter what you've got in your bank account. The latest lineup of iPhones adds more cameras for better photo quality, improved battery life and an appealing price tag. The  iPhone 11 , which has two cameras, starts at $699 (Rs. 64,900 in India) - less than the $1,000 at which Apple has priced its main new phone the past couple years, and potentially priced to woo consumers on the fence about buying the newest Apple offering. That $1,000 price point now belongs to the  iPhone 11 Pro , which has three cameras. With slowing iPhone sales, ...

Ten years ago, the world got much bigger and much smaller, all in one fell swoop. Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, the first internet-connected smartphone that put user experience above all, finally executing on the idea of a full touchscreen handset. This ushered in the rise of constant social networking, an application economy and complete dependence on our smartphones for just about everything. Today, Apple has   introduced the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus . But in true Apple fashion, Tim Cook promised us “one more thing.” Today, 10 years later, Apple is introducing the iPhone X. And, by the way, it’s pronounced “Ten.” So what does a decade of iPhone innovation look like? Design Apple’s iPhone X, like the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, comes with a brand new design, ditching bezels and opting for a glass front and back. Apple says there is a deeper strengthening layer in the glass that makes it the “most durable in a smartphone.” Thanks to this new design, the iPho...

Apple unveiled the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at   its press event . It looks a lot like the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but with a glass back. The iPhone 8 still has a single camera while the 8 Plus has a double camera. It comes in silver, space gray and a new gold finish that looks like a mix between gold and rose gold. These phones are sealed to be water and dust resistant. Apple also announced the iPhone X at the same conference, a new, premium model with a screen that fills the front of the device.

It’s been a constant source of speculation but we finally have concrete details on the Apple Watch 2 . Apple’s new wearable appears to be the wearable fans have wanted all along and looks to maintain the Apple Watch’s lead as the most popular smartwatch on the market. Called the Apple Watch Series 2, the new wearable is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it a great tool for swimmers. Apple said making it water-resistant was a huge challenge, especially because there are so many ports. The company said it redesigned the speaker on the new Watch so that the mechanism actually pushes water out. Neat. Inside, Apple equipped the Series 2 with a dual-core processor that’s up to 50 percent faster, and a new GPU for faster graphics. That will ensure apps perform much faster; Apple said an app like Night Sky can run at 60fps. Elsewhere, the display is much brighter at 1,000 nits, making it easier to see outside in bright sunlight. That was one of the biggest hurdles f...
