Last week's electrifying Apple event unleashed a wave of reviews, and tech enthusiasts have been buzzing! We dove deep into the iPhone 17 lineup, including the sleek new iPhone Air, alongside fresh evaluations of the AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11. Plus, we explored a high-end Chromebook and the latest evolution of Tamagotchi. Here’s the scoop on what you may have missed!

Unveiling the iPhone Air

Say goodbye to the iPhone 16 Plus and hello to the ultra-sleek iPhone Air! No gimmicks here; Apple has crafted a device that balances style and substance without compromising battery life. Senior reviews writer Sam Rutherford noted that this design might just be the stepping stone towards an upcoming foldable iPhone. Now that's a future we can get behind!

The All-New iPhone 17

Apple's iteration game has grown stale, but the iPhone 17 changes the narrative. Finally equipped with a stunning 120Hz display, this model brings significant camera upgrades right out of the gate. As I observed, even users upgrading from the iPhone 16 will appreciate this transformation. If you're contemplating a new phone, this is one you shouldn't overlook!

Pro Features Elevated in iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max

The Pro and Pro Max variants continue to shine with superior camera systems and enhanced thermal management. Additions include a robust aluminum unibody and an optional 6.9-inch display. As managing editor Cherlynn Low stated, this new lineup challenges our understanding of what a 'Pro' phone should embody—style versus durability.

AirPods Pro 3: A Game Changer

The AirPods Pro 3 might have been solid with just improved active noise cancellation and sound quality, but Apple has taken it further. With innovations like Live Translation and heart-rate monitoring, these earbuds are set to redefine your experience. I suspect we haven't seen the last of what the H2 chip can do—stay tuned for more exciting features!

The Apple Watch Series 11: An Impressive Upgrade

The Apple Watch Series 11 remains the must-have smartwatch for iPhone users, boasting enhancements in design, battery life, and health tracking. However, if you're budget-conscious, the Watch SE 3 also packs in a wealth of health and fitness functionalities at a much more appealing price, according to Cherlynn.

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514: Power Meets Portability

Chromebooks vary widely, but the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 stands out with its performance and battery longevity. Despite its premium price tag of $700, deputy editor Nathan Ingraham argues that for power users, the investment is worth it. However, competition from Acer's own standard Chromebook Plus 514 adds to the decision-making stress!

Tamagotchi Paradise: A Nostalgic Comeback

And let's not forget the resurgence of Tamagotchi! This classic gadget is back with new twists, rekindling fond memories while capturing the hearts of a new generation.
