Larry Magid: New iPhone operating system arrives on Monday
"Less than a quarter-inch thick, it's the thinnest iPhone ever. Even though it has a fairly big 6.5-inch screen, it has a smaller battery than the thicker and heavier iPhones. The iPhone 17 Pro has a couple of interesting attributes, including what Apple calls a "heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure that maximizes performance, battery capacity, and durability." It also bumps the zoom from 5X to what Apple is claiming to be 8X"
"iOS 26 for existing iPhones Although the new hardware that you can order starting Sept. 15 gets most of the attention, for most people, the important news is that will also be the day you can download a free copy of Apple's new iOS 26 operating system, assuming you have an iPhone 11 or later, which was released in 2017. With iOS 26, your compatible iPhone gets most of the features of the new iPhones."
Apple introduced new iPhones plus updated Apple Watch and AirPods. A new iPhone Air is under a quarter-inch thick and is the thinnest iPhone, with a 6.5-inch screen but a smaller battery. The iPhone 17 Pro features a heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure and an increased zoom claim from 5X to 8X "optical quality zoom." The iPhone 17 Pro comes in 6.3- and 6.9-inch sizes with 33- and 36-hour video playback battery ratings and starting prices of $1,099 and $1,199. iOS 26 will be available Sept. 15 for iPhone 11 and later and brings visual changes such as Liquid Glass translucency.
