During today’s earnings call for the fourth quarter of 2019, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a new feature that’s coming to Apple Card later this year — fee free iPhone payments.

Customers will be able to purchase a new iPhone using ‌Apple Card‌ and pay for it over 24 months with no interest. Customers will continue to get three percent cash back for the purchase as well.

There’s no specific word on when the iPhone payment plan will be available, but Cook did say that it’s coming this year, so it could perhaps be introduced ahead of the holiday season.

Cook said that Apple has been “thrilled” with the reception to ‌Apple Card‌ since its August launch. He said that Apple believes it was the “most successful launch of a credit card in the United States ever.”

Apple today announced financial results for the third calendar quarter and fourth fiscal quarter of 2019.

For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $64.0 billion and net quarterly profit of $13.7 billion, or $3.03 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $62.9 billion and net quarterly profit of $14.1 billion, or $2.91 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share set a new fourth quarter record, while services revenue set an all-time quarterly record.

Gross margin for the quarter was 38.0 percent, compared to 38.3 percent in the year-ago quarter, with international sales accounting for 60 percent of revenue. Apple also declared an upcoming dividend payment of $0.77 per share, payable November 14 to shareholders of record as of November 11.

This quarter marks a full year since Apple changed the way it reports its results, with the company no longer providing unit sales data for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. As a result, Apple is only providing revenue figures for its various segments, leaving analysts to estimate unit sales based on their own calculations

For the full fiscal year, Apple generated $260.2 billion in sales with $55.3 billion in net income, compared to $265.5 billion in sales and $59.5 billion in net income for fiscal 2018.

“We concluded a groundbreaking fiscal 2019 with our highest Q4 revenue ever, fueled by accelerating growth from Services, Wearables and ‌iPad‌,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “With customers and reviewers raving about the new generation of iPhones, today’s debut of new, noise-cancelling AirPods Pro, the hotly-anticipated arrival of Apple TV+ just two days away, and our best lineup of products and services ever, we’re very optimistic about what the holiday quarter has in store.”

Apple’s guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 includes expected revenue of $85.5-89.5 billion and gross margin between 37.5 and 38.5 percent.

Apple will provide live streaming of its fiscal Q4 2019 financial results conference call at 2:00 PM Pacific, and MacRumors will update this story with coverage of the conference call highlights.

Today’s the official launch date for the AirPods Pro that Apple surprised us with on Monday, so of course we went to pick some up at an Apple retail store this morning to give MacRumors readers a rundown of the new features and our first impressions.

In this video, we’ll go over the new design, the ‌AirPods Pro‌ capabilities, and determine whether Apple’s newest earbuds are worth the $249 price.

Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.

Design wise, the ‌AirPods Pro‌ are recognizable as AirPods, but there are some distinct differences compared to earlier ‌AirPods‌. The stem, for example, is much shorter, and it now has a new Force sensor feature that supports gestures.

Squeeze the stem to play or pause your music, squeeze it two times to skip forward a track, and squeeze it three times to skip back. Pressing and holding will also switch between different listening modes, which we’ll get to in a second.

The other major ‌AirPods Pro‌ design change is the inclusion of new silicone tips that are designed to fit inside of the ears. The ‌AirPods Pro‌ ship with silicone tips in three sizes, and the tips just snap right on and off. Apple has even designed a fit test that makes sure you’re using the right size tip for your ear size.

We found the ‌AirPods Pro‌ to be comfortable and secure in the ears, though they definitely have a different feel from the original ‌AirPods‌. Those silicone tips enable a key ‌AirPods Pro‌ feature — Active Noise Cancellation. Apple has included Active Noise Cancellation in some Beats headphones in the past, but this is the first time the company has released earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation functionality.

Active Noise Cancellation worked well in our testing, drowning out the sound of a loud furnace fan and people in nearby offices. There’s also a Transparency mode that Apple added, which tunes down Active Noise Cancellation so you can hear the environment around you.

Swapping between Active Noise Cancellation and the Transparency mode that lets you hear traffic, announcements, and more, can be done with a press and hold on the stem of the ‌AirPods Pro‌. You can also turn it off and on using the Control Center on the iPhone.

Apple touts audio quality as a major improvement in the ‌AirPods Pro‌, and they do indeed sound good. There is a noticeable difference in quality between the ‌AirPods‌ and the ‌AirPods Pro‌, so if you were satisfied with the ‌AirPods‌, you’ll be even more impressed with the ‌AirPods Pro‌.

There’s an Adaptive EQ feature in the ‌AirPods Pro‌, which Apple says automatically tunes the low and mid frequencies of the music to the shape of an individual’s ear for a “rich, immersive listening experience.” In practice, we were better able to distinguish between each instrument, and everything was crisp and clear.

It’s worth noting that the ‌AirPods Pro‌ are IPX4 water resistant, which means they’re going to hold up to sweat and perhaps some light splashing from the rain, but you shouldn’t submerge them and should make an effort to keep them dry when possible.

There’s an H1 chip in the ‌AirPods Pro‌, which was also included in the ‌AirPods‌ 2, so all of the quick setup and device swapping features are present, plus hands-free “Hey Siri” commands are supported.

When it comes to the Wireless Charging Case for the ‌AirPods Pro‌, it looks a lot like the standard ‌AirPods‌ case but it’s fatter than the previous version because it needs to accommodate those silicone tips.

It has the same capabilities as the original case, offering up somewhere around 24 hours of battery life for the ‌AirPods Pro‌, with a 5 minute fast charge feature that provides an hour of listening time. It can be charged using the included Lightning to USB-C cable or via a Qi-based wireless charger because it does support wireless charging.

As for the ‌AirPods Pro‌ themselves, the battery lasts for up to 4.5 hours with Active Noise Cancellation turned on, or up to five hours if it’s disabled. If you’re talking on the phone, expect 3.5 hours of talk time with ANC on.

‌AirPods Pro‌ are $50 more than the ‌AirPods‌ 2 with Wireless Charging Case, and with the Active Noise Cancellation, comfortable fit, and superior sound, choosing ‌AirPods Pro‌ over ‌AirPods‌ 2 makes a lot of sense.

Whether or not they’re worth the upgrade for those that already have ‌AirPods‌ is something everyone will need to decide for themselves. They sound great and have ANC, but the ‌AirPods‌ and ‌AirPods‌ 2 are also fantastic little headphones and some people may not need to upgrade if they’re happy with what they have now.

Make sure to stay tuned to MacRumors because we’ll also be doing an in-depth comparison between the ‌AirPods Pro‌, the standard ‌AirPods‌, and the Powerbeats Pro in the coming days.

Apple is rumored to be working on a Tile-like Bluetooth tracking device called AirTags, which we’ve been seeing signs of in various versions of iOS for the last couple of months.

We have additional ‌AirTags‌ screenshots to share today, sent in by a MacRumors reader. The updated images are similar to images that we found in an early version of iOS 13 back in September, but with some updates that are more in line with the current look of the Find My app.

Both screenshots depict an updated ‌Find My‌ app with a bar at the bottom for “People,” “Devices,” “Items,” and “Me.” The earlier screenshots that we saw didn’t have the “Me” option in the bottom bar, suggesting Apple was still in the process of refining the look of the app.

The placeholder suitcase emoji that was used in the original screenshot has also now been updated with a backpack emoji.

The screenshots are otherwise the same, referring to the ‌AirTags‌ by their codename, “B389.” The ‌AirTags‌ setup process, as we discovered earlier this week in a separate screenshot, will consist of pulling the tab on the AirTag and then bringing it close to the iPhone to begin the setup process.

From there, the ‌AirTags‌ will presumably connect to the iPhone and that’s when users will see the “Add” option with Apple’s wording: “Tag your everyday items with [‌AirTags‌] and never lose them again.”

The ‌AirTags‌ name was first unveiled earlier this week in assets found in the iOS 13.2 update. We’ve also previously seen placeholder images that suggest the ‌AirTags‌ could perhaps be small, circular white tags that can be attached to items to make them locatable through the ‌Find My‌ app.

‌‌AirTags‌‌ will connect to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more via Bluetooth, and will leverage the ultra-wideband U1 chip in the newest iPhones for more precise indoor tracking that’s unmatched by competitors like Tile.

We’re also expecting an augmented reality component that will take advantage of a device’s camera to pinpoint exactly where an item might be. Longer-range tracking will also be available, and ‌‌AirTags‌‌ will likely take advantage of the offline crowd-sourced tracking feature that was added in ‌iOS 13‌.

We don’t yet know when ‌AirTags‌ might be released, but Apple has been adding new ‌AirTags‌ info to each beta, so there’s a possibility that we could potentially see ‌AirTags‌ launch before the end of the year.

For more on what to expect from the ‌AirTags‌, make sure to check out our AirTags guide.

We’ve been hearing rumors about the 16-inch MacBook Pro for months now, and saw possible reference images of the device in the macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta.

Now ‌macOS Catalina‌ 10.15.1 is out, and it appears the update was hiding even more 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ secrets — including an image of the machine’s updated Touch Bar and Touch ID layout.

The new 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ will feature a ‌Touch ID‌ power button that’s separate from the Touch Bar, as first found by 9to5Mac. That’s a design change that’s distinct from the 15-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌, which has its ‌Touch ID‌ button positioned as an extension of the Touch Bar.

There have also been hints based on the previously leaked images that the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ will feature a separate ESC key that is an actual physical key that’s no longer a part of the Touch Bar. That’s not confirmed in the image found today, but given that the ‌Touch ID‌ button is separate, it would make sense for the escape key to be separate as well.

GIF depicting current ‌MacBook Pro‌ and the new 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ design

The original 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ icon that was discovered earlier in October has now been removed from ‌macOS Catalina‌ 10.15.1, which suggests that the images being found in the update are not signs of an imminent release as previously thought.

We were expecting the 16-inch machine to see a launch in October, but the month is close to over and Apple made no announcements beyond the AirPods Pro this week, so it’s not entirely clear when the new ‌MacBook Pro‌ is going to launch.

It could, of course, still come in November or December, but historically, Apple hasn’t done many late fall updates. Chances of a fall event also seem highly unlikely because October is almost over and Apple hasn’t held a non-October fall event.

A recent investor’s note from reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested a new MacBook with a scissor keyboard is going to launch in the late second quarter or early third quarter, and given that he previously said the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ would use such a keyboard, it’s possible (but not confirmed) he’s referring to the 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌.

In that case, we would be waiting until 2020 for the new higher-end 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌.

Apple has unveiled higher-end AirPods Pro with several improvements over the regular AirPods, including active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and water and sweat resistance. To help decide between the AirPods and AirPods Pro, read our side-by-side comparison of the earphones below.

Design and Fit Differences

AirPods Pro sport an all-new in-ear design with three sizes of soft, flexible silicone tips that click into place, including small, medium, and large. Apple says the tips are designed to conform to your ear shape, keeping the AirPods Pro secure, while a vent system equalizes pressure to minimize discomfort. Meanwhile, the standard AirPods have a one-size fits all design. While many people found this adequate, some users had issues with the original AirPods design falling our or hurting their ears.

AirPods Pro have a feature named the Ear Tip Fit Test that checks the fit of the ‌earphones in your ears to determine which size of ear tips provides the best seal and acoustic performance. Ear Tip Fit Test can be accessed by tapping the info icon next to your ‌AirPods Pro‌ in Settings > Bluetooth.

Apple says advanced algorithms work together with the inward-facing microphones in each AirPod to measure the sound level in the ear and compare it to what is coming from the speaker driver. In just seconds, the algorithm detects whether the ear tip is the right size and has a good fit, or should be adjusted.

AirPods Pro and AirPods both have a familiar white plastic design with a stem dropping below the ear. However, while the regular AirPods are also placed in the ear, they do not have silicone ear tips.

Size and Weight

AirPods Pro are very slightly heavier than regular AirPods at 5.4 grams per earphone versus 4.0 grams, respectively. Apple says the AirPods Pro are engineered for comfort and fit, something many early reviews back.

AirPods Pro Only: Noise Cancellation and Transparency Modes

AirPods Pro feature active noise cancellation, removing background noise and allowing a user to focus on what they’re listening to.

Two microphones assist with this feature. The first is outward-facing and detects external sound, which the AirPods Pro then cancel out with anti-noise before it reaches the listener’s ear. A second inward-facing microphone listens toward the ear so that the AirPods Pro can cancel out any remaining noise detected.

Apple says the noise cancellation feature continuously adapts the sound signal 200 times per second for the best results.

If a user wants to hear something around them, they can simply press and hold the force sensor on the stem of the AirPods Pro to jump between active noise cancellation and “Transparency” mode, which lets outside sound in when necessary, such as when paying for a coffee or talking to someone nearby.

AirPods Pro have a “force sensor” on the stem to switch between active noise cancellation and Transparency mode. Press the force sensor once to play, pause, or answer a phone call; press twice to skip forward; press three times to skip back; and press and hold to switch between the listening modes.

The regular AirPods do not have a force sensor, active noise cancellation, or a Transparency mode.

Sound Quality Differences

Apple says the AirPods Pro deliver “superior sound quality” thanks to “Adaptive EQ,” which automatically tunes the low- and mid-frequencies of the music to the shape of an individual’s ear.

Apple on the AirPods Pro:

A custom-built high-excursion, low-distortion driver delivers powerful bass. A super efficient high dynamic range amplifier produces pure, incredibly clear sound while also extending battery life. And Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to suit the shape of your ear for a rich, consistent listening experience.

Early reviews have generally agreed that the AirPods Pro sound better than the regular AirPods, but there will always be some subjectiveness.

AirPods Pro also feature an expanded mesh microphone port that Apple says improves call clarity in windy situations.

Battery Life Similar

Apple says the AirPods Pro last up to 4.5 hours per charge with noise cancellation and Transparency mode enabled. With those features disabled, the AirPods last up to five hours, consistent with the regular AirPods.

AirPods Pro also provide up to 3.5 hours of talk time per charge, up slightly from three hours with the second-generation AirPods.

Both the AirPods and AirPods Pro come with charging cases that provide additional charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time and more than 18 hours of total talk time. AirPods Pro have a wider charging case to accommodate the ear tips, but the battery does not appear to be much larger.

Added Water Resistance on AirPods Pro

AirPods Pro feature IPX4-rated water resistance, while the AirPods have no water resistance rating.

The “4” in “IPX4” means “water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect.” Apple says the AirPods Pro are “sweat and water resistant for non-water sports and exercise,” so the earphones should not be submerged in any amount of water or else damage may occur.

What’s in the Box for Each

AirPods Pro come with a Lightning to USB-C cable in the box, whereas regular AirPods have a Lightning to USB-A cable. AirPods Pro also ship with three sizes of ear tips, a wireless charging case, and documentation.

“Hey Siri” and Bluetooth: Same

Both the second-generation AirPods and AirPods Pro feature an Apple-designed H1 chip that enables hands-free “Hey Siri” support for calling someone, controlling music playback, having messages read aloud, and more with voice commands. The first-generation AirPods do not support this feature.

Both the AirPods and AirPods Pro support Bluetooth 5.0.

Pricing Difference

In the United States, AirPods Pro are priced at $249 with a wireless charging case. The second-generation AirPods are available with a wired or wireless charging case for $159 or $199, respectively.

In other words, the AirPods Pro are $50 to $90 more expensive than AirPods.

AirPods Pro vs AirPods Bottom Line

The regular AirPods are a perfectly fine choice for truly wireless earphones, with roughly the same battery life as the AirPods Pro. Choose the higher-end AirPods Pro if you desire improved sound, noise cancellation, and water resistance.

This article shows you how to perform an AirPods Pro Ear Tip Fit Test, which checks the fit of your AirPods ear tips to determine which size provides the best seal and acoustic performance.

How Does the ‌AirPods‌ Ear Tip Fit Test Work?

Unlike previous generation ‌AirPods‌, ‌AirPods Pro‌ come with three sizes of silicone tips for a customizable fit. These tips help to form a seal appropriate for optimizing the audio experience and the noise cancelling and Transparency modes, so it’s important that you choose the right size tip for your ears.

The Ear Tip Fit Test is designed to help you with that, by testing the quality of the seal and identifying the best ear tip size for you. After placing ‌AirPods Pro‌ in each ear and running the test, algorithms work together with the microphones in each AirPod to measure the sound level in the ear and compare it to what’s coming from the speaker driver.

The algorithm detects whether the ear tip is the right size and has a good fit, or should be adjusted to create a better seal. Here’s how to perform the test.

How to Run the ‌AirPods Pro‌ Ear Tip Fit Test

1. Allow your ‌AirPods‌ to connect to your iPhone or iPad in the usual way, by opening the case next to your device and inserting the buds in your ears.
2. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.
3. Tap Bluetooth.
4. Under My Devices, tap the information icon (the circled “i”) next to ‌AirPods Pro‌ in the list.
   
   
5. Tap Ear Tip Fit Test.
6. Tap Continue.
   
   
7. Make sure you’re wearing both ‌AirPods‌, then press the blue Play button at the bottom of the screen.
8. Check your Ear Tip Fit results under the corresponding left and right AirPod images. A good seal is shown in green, while a sub-optimal seal shows up in yellow.
9. Tap Done.

If you get a yellow result for an AirPod, adjust the earbud or try a different ear tip, then run the test again to see if it’s been fixed.

This article explains how to customize the functions assigned to AirPods Pro gestures. Bear in mind that iOS devices need to be running iOS 13.2 in order to support ‌AirPods Pro‌. You can check that your device is updated by launching the Settings app and going to General -> Software Update.

Apple’s ‌AirPods Pro‌ wireless earbuds feature a new, innovative force sensor on each stem that responds to gestures which you can use to play/pause and skip tracks, answer and hang up phone calls, and switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes.

By default, you can press and hold either AirPod Pro stem to cycle between the Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes (you’ll hear a tone when switching between the two functions). You can also customize the press-and-hold gestures by accessing onscreen menus on your connected iOS device. Here’s how it works.

1. Allow your AirPods to connect to your iPhone or iPad in the usual way, by opening the case next to your device and inserting the buds in your ears.
2. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.
3. Tap Bluetooth.
   
   
4. Under “My Devices,” tap the information icon (the circled “i”) next to ‌AirPods Pro‌ in the list.
5. Under “Press and Hold ‌AirPods‌,” tap Left or Right, depending on which AirPod you want customize.
   
   
6. To activate Siri with a press-and-hold gesture, tap ‌Siri‌.
7. To change the Noise Control features that are activated via a press-and-hold gesture, tap Noise Control so that it’s ticked, then tap the functions below that you want to assign to it: The options are Noise Cancellation, Transparency, and Off (which disables noise cancellation and transparency mode).

Note that you can assign more than one noise control feature to the press-and-hold gesture on either earbud – pressing and holding the stem will cycle between the selected modes.

Bear in mind that iOS devices need to be running iOS 13.2 in order to support ‌AirPods Pro‌. You can check that your device is updated by launching the Settings app and going to General -> Software Update.

How Active Noise Cancellation Works on ‌AirPods Pro‌

‌AirPods Pro‌ are Apple’s first in-ear headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which is designed to adapt to the shape of your ear and block out the outside world so you can focus on what you’re listening to.

When ANC is active, an outward-facing microphone on each earbud detects external sound, which is then countered by corresponding inverted audio frequencies to cancel the sound before it reaches your ears.

Unlike previous generation AirPods, ‌AirPods Pro‌ also come with three sizes of silicone tips for a customizable fit. These tips help to form a seal appropriate for optimizing the ANC feature, so make sure you’ve chosen the right size for your ears.

How to Control Noise Cancellation on ‌AirPods Pro‌

There are three methods you can use to control the Noise Cancellation feature on ‌AirPods Pro‌. The first method involves using the Force sensors on the ‌AirPods‌ themselves with default settings, while the second and third methods are accessed via onscreen menus on the connected iOS device.

Method 1:

1. Allow your ‌AirPods‌ to connect to your iPhone or iPad in the usual way, by opening the case next to your device and inserting the buds in your ears.
2. Press and hold either AirPod Pro stem to cycle between Noise Cancellation and Transparency, the latter of which lets outside sound in.
3. You’ll hear a tone when switching between the two functions.

If you want, you can customize the press-and-hold gesture on the ‌AirPods Pro‌ earbuds, and even use it to turn off the noise control features completely. Click here to learn how.

Method 2:

1. Allow your ‌AirPods‌ to connect to your iPhone or ‌iPad‌ in the usual way, by opening the case next to your device and inserting the buds in your ears.
2. Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.
3. Tap Bluetooth.
   
   
4. Under My Devices, tap the information icon (the circled “i”) next to ‌AirPods Pro‌ in the list.
5. Under Noise Control, tap Noise Cancellation, Off, or Transparency, depending on your preference.

Method 3:

1. Allow your ‌AirPods‌ to connect to your iPhone or ‌iPad‌ in the usual way, by opening the case next to your device and inserting the buds in your ears.
2. Open Control Center on your iOS device: On an ‌iPad‌ with a Home button, double-tap the Home button; on iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom of the screen; and on a 2018 iPad Pro or iPhone X and later, swipe down from the upper right of the screen.
   
   
3. Press and hold the Control Center volume bar (a pair of earbuds will be visible inside of it to indicate the ‌AirPods Pro‌ are connected.)
4. Use the strip of buttons at the bottom of the screen to switch between Noise Cancellation, Off, or Transparency, depending on your preference.

ShopRunner, a paid membership service that offers free two-day shipping from dozens of online brands, today announced that it is offering its shipping service free to customers who check out with Apple Pay at some ShopRunner retailers.

ShopRunner’s service normally costs $79 per year, but it is a perk offered with many credit cards, including the Apple Card.

The benefit to the ‌Apple Pay‌ checkout is that no ShopRunner account is required to get the two-day shipping offer – you simply need to use ‌Apple Pay‌ as the payment option when checking out.

Retailers that include Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Chico’s, White House Black Market, and Soma will begin offering free two-day shipping from ShopRunner with ‌Apple Pay‌ purchases starting next week, while additional popular brands like Cole Haan and Alice + Olivia will begin supporting the feature in December.

Customers will also be given the option to sign up for a complimentary ShopRunner membership by using the Sign in with Apple feature, which will presumably give ShopRunner access even on sites where ‌Apple Pay‌ is not a payment option.

‌Apple Pay‌ vice president Jennifer Bailey said that Apple is “thrilled” to work with ShopRunner on this new benefit.

“With ‌Apple Pay‌, customers can make easy and secure purchases with just a glance or touch on their iPhone, iPad and Mac,” said Jennifer Bailey, Vice President of ‌Apple Pay‌. “We’re thrilled to work with ShopRunner and leading retailers so that even more customers can quickly and conveniently shop online at their favorite brands as we head into the holidays.”
