Apple has announced several new products, including its new slimmer iPhone "Air" model with a "high-density battery" and a brand new processor, as well as an iPhone 17, the latest upgrade to its flagship smartphone . The tech giant, based in Cupertino, California in the US, unveiled the iPhone Air model as the star of the annual product launch event on Tuesday, with CEO Tim Cook calling it a "game-changer". The company said the base model iPhone 17 will have a brighter, more scratch-resistant screen. It also said the device will feature a new A19 processor chip, which will be made with three-nanometre (3nm) chipmaking technology and have improved capabilities for on-device artificial intelligence features. Apple said the iPhone 17 will also have a better front-facing camera with a differently shaped sensor to make horizontal selfies look better.
