Apple goes for an incremental upgrades with the Watch Series 5

If you're expecting the Apple Watch Series 5 to be vastly different from its predecessor, then you're going to be disappointed. Like the new iPhones, the Apple Watch Series 5 adds a few changes that might not be enough for current Apple Watch users to upgrade, but it could entice new customers. 

One of the most significant changes is the always-on display, which wasn't available before. The Series 5 will have new watch faces to display time and other data at all times. Apple uses a low-energy 'Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide' (LTPO) screen to make this happen. The watch will also switch from a 60Hz to a 1Hz refresh rate to make sure it conserves battery when in idle mode. The screen is also optimized for the workout app so you will see your workout metrics without having to raise your wrist.

Apple introduces the iPhone XR successor, iPhone 11

Aside from launching the new iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, there is also the successor to the "entry-level" iPhone XR in the form of the iPhone 11. This cheaper smartphone still has a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina LCD screen, but it's protected by a stronger glass this time. The design is almost identical to last year's model, too. But there are fun new colours for those who want variety (purple, white, green, yellow, black, and red).

Like is more expensive brothers, the change is in the iPhone 11's camera. It now has a dual 12-megapixel setup. One is a standard wide-angle camera, while the other is an ultra-wide lens that supports 2x optical zoom. The front-facing camera is now a 12-megapixel TrueDepth wide-angle camera you can rotate for landscape photos. It can take 4K/60 video as well as slow-motion clips if that's your thing.
