PLUS: How to remind yourself of anything.
It’s launch week for the new iPhones! Except Apple only has two new models on offer, which hasn’t happened in a very long time. That’s right—if you go to an Apple store on Friday, the only new iPhone models you’ll find are the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. In October, Apple will release the highly anticipated foldable iPhone Duo. Considering the high price of the Duo and the $100 price bumps for the Pro devices, that means there’s no new sub-$1,000 iPhone—yet. Apple hasn’t announced the device, but the base iPhone 18 is expected to launch early next year. So if you don’t typically buy a Pro iPhone or feel like you need to spend the extra cash on one, just wait it out. If you are strictly an iPhone Pro kind of shopper, then here’s my review. TL;DR: They’re very good.
Whether you’re upgrading your hardware or not, this week is also the release of the latest versions of Apple’s software, from iOS 27 to macOS 27, so it’s time to update your devices. We’ve got the lowdown on all the top new features in each of Apple’s operating systems, including helpful features in Safari, how to set up Shortcuts, and everything you can do with the new Siri AI assistant. Just make sure to enter the waitlist so you can try the Siri AI beta.

I keep my to-do list and calendar up-to-date at all times—if I stop writing things down and ticking off boxes, my brain turns to total mush. Most of us live noisy lives full of distractions, and, for me, having an easily accessible list of plans and tasks makes my overstimulating existence slightly more bearable. But sometimes, a pen-and-paper agenda isn’t enough—after all, you do have to remember to check it in the first place. Programming reminders to your desktop is a great way to hold yourself accountable and make it impossible to miss a meeting, dinner party, birthday, or doctor’s appointment. Read the WIRED guide to creating custom notifications on Windows 11.—writes Elana Klein.
