First, the bad news: Gurman claims that the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will not happen this year. Instead, we're getting a new, black color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The good news is that Apple is reportedly launching a new version of its high-end, AirPods Max over-the-ear headphones. The new version will have a USB-C port (instead of Lightning), as well as better active noise cancellation and improved adaptive audio. It sounds like a pretty modest upgrade, though we'll see if that's all we're getting.
