This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: After Apple’s truly Awe Dropping event, we’re picking up the pieces and discussing iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and the rest of the new hardware.

Also on The CultCast:

  • Apple built iPhone 17 Pro like a tool for professionals. But is the cosmic orange color undeniably vibrant?
  • The new Apple Watches look like solid additions, although the Apple Watch SE 3 gets the most meaningful upgrades.
  • AirPods Pro 3 make one of our favorite Apple products even better.
  • Somewhat surprisingly, Apple extends marquee features of Apple Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3 to older devices.
  • And finally, we go over the results of our Awe Dropping predictions game.
