Tech Between the Lines

We unpack Apple's latest event and hardware announcements, examining whether the new devices offer real innovation or just clever marketing tactics designed to keep users upgrading.

• iPhone 17 Air introduces a new ultra-thin 5.6mm design with premium features at a $999 price point
• Standard iPhone 17 finally gets ProMotion 120Hz display, 256GB base storage, and improved cameras
• Pro models feature new aluminum chassis, vapor chamber cooling, and 48MP on all three rear cameras but with $100 price increase
• AirPods Pro 3 adds heart rate monitoring and on-device translation features for $249
• Apple Watch lineup expands with Series 11's health features, budget-friendly SE3, and Ultra 3's satellite connectivity
• We debate the value proposition of each device and whether the "Pro" label is losing meaning as prices continue to climb
• Most Ultra users aren't extreme athletes but everyday people seeking maximum battery life and durability
