Hate the new iPhone 17 Pro? That probably just means it wasn't made for you

The wait is finally over; September's Apple event introduced the latest iPhone 17 series, Series 11 Apple Watches, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the new AirPods Pro 3.

Was it awe-dropping as promised? Yes, in places, but as always, everyone's abuzz with their love – or disdain – for the new gadgets. In particular, the iPhone 17 Pro has proved divisive, but in all honesty, most of the complaints here are very explainable (though, personally, I'm on board with the Cosmic Orange hate train.)

Elsewhere, another major event occurred this month; Meta Connect kicked off the next generation of its Ray-Ban collaboration smart glasses, including its first step towards the full Orion experience: the Meta Ray-Ban Display. I've tried them myself, and let me tell you, this is huge news.
