As one might expect, the Apple September event brings about Series 4 of the Watch-- an update seemingly identical on the outside, if with plenty of improvements on the inside, including a built-in heart rate scanner and watchOS 5 software.

The most immediate improvement of the Series 4 comes in the display. It is nearly edge-to-edge and comes in 2 sizes, 40 and 44mm, with the larger option being 30% than the previous Watch. Audio also sees improvement with a speaker Apple claims is 50%, while a relocated microphone allows for reduced echo and better sound quality. Construction features a black ceramic and sapphire crystal back, and the Digital Crown includes haptic feedback with a sensation of incremental clicks.

Powering the Series 4 Watch is the S4-- a next-generation chip with a custom 64-bit dual-core processor. Apple says it is twice as fast as the previous processor, while still allowing for all-day battery life. Other improvements include an update accelerometer and gyroscope able to automatically trigger a call to emergency services in case the wearer is immobile for 1 minute after a fall.

OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau makes a surprise announcement-- the company plans to make a TV offering "premium flagship design, image quality and audio," as well as the capability to "seamlessly connect the home."

TVs is a first for OnePlus, whose product offering consists solely of smartphones and a small selection of companion accessories. The announcement has little in terms of details for the actual TV, since the product is still at the earliest stages of production, but Lau does tell Business Insider the TV will offer seamless smartphone connectivity and AI smarts akin to the Amazon Echo and Google Home.

Master & Dynamic is the next audio maker to take on the wireless earbud trend with the MW07-- a true wireless set promising top notch sound through the addition of Beryllium drivers inside a sleek design.

The MW07 earbuds are truly premium, being made of handcrafted acetate and finished in either black, tortoiseshell, steel blue or grey terrazzo colours. Inside are the aforementioned 10mm Beryllium drivers, together with a battery the company claims powers up to 3.5 hours of use on a single charge. Charging comes through an included stainless steel case holding enough power for 3 additional charges.

The education-focused March 2018 iPad event saw Logitech reveal the Crayon, a colourful low-cost stylus sold directly to schools. Now the company announces the stylus will be available to all from October 2018.

The Crayon borrows technology from the Apple Pencil with the smart tip allowing users to adjust line weight according to the angle. It does not offer pressure sensitivity, but does include palm rejection technology and MFI-certified charging through built-in Lightning port. Logitech says a single charge allows for up to 7 hours of use.
