It was a big day for Apple on Tuesday as it unveiled new iPhones and Apple Watches while also offering an update on its efforts to become a greener company.
Continuing a trend that started during the pandemic when companies stepped away from holding large in-person gatherings, Apple’s Wonderlust event took the form of a slickly presented 83-minute video live-streamed on Tuesday morning PT.
Then, later in the day, the tech giant dropped a number of much shorter videos on its YouTube channel offering a closer look at the new products and other news.
We’ve gathered together all eight of the videos for you to peruse at your leisure.
First up is a guided tour of all four of the new iPhones that landed on Tuesday: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus,

iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro: is it really worth upgrading?
The iPhone 15 Pro might look like an aesthetics-heavy upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro, given the spotlight on its titanium build, but it also makes a ton of changes inside that can sway the appeal for power users. There’s a new 3nm chip inside, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for communication with nearby devices, and a healthy bunch of software-side improvements to the camera system.
The latest Apple flagship is smaller and lighter, but surprisingly, it doesn’t demand the customary generation-over-generation price hike. If you’ve been eyeing the iPhone 15 Pro but aren’t sure if it’s really worth an upgrade over your year-old iPhone 14 Pro, here’s everything you need to know.

The iPhone 15’s chip challenges Intel’s fastest desktop CPU — but there’s a catch
Who would have thought that some of the best CPUs would face competition not from a desktop or laptop CPU, but from a mobile system-on-a-chip (SoC)? Well, the latest Geekbench 6 scores prove that it’s possible. Apple’s new A17 Pro chip, announced during the September 2023 Apple event and found in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, challenges AMD and Intel — but there’s a catch.
Yes, it’s real. The Geekbench 6 test gives the A17 Pro chip a score of 2,914 in single-core operations, and that’s mighty impressive for something that will end up in a smartphone. However, the generational leap is not that impressive — the last-gen A16 Bionic chip is only around 10% behind in terms of single-threaded performance. The A17 Pro was built based on TSMC’s 3nm technology, while the A16 Bionic is a 5nm chip, also made by TSMC.
