  "account": "Apple unveiled updates to its Apple Watch series and AirPods alongside the release of new iPhone models. The upgraded AirPods 5, priced at RM599, boast up to 50% more noise cancellation and support Siri voice commands through head gestures. A higher-end version at RM699 offers additional features like on-stem volume control and wireless charging. These new AirPods are set to go on pre-order on September 11, alongside the iPhones, which are slated for release on September 18.\n\nThe Apple Watch Series 12 introduces an advanced S11 chip and Health Sensing system, enabling more frequent pulse measurements for enhanced accuracy. The watch also delivers improved workout and sleep tracking, along with the addition of heart rate variability measurements in the Vitals tab of the Health app. Notably, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, while retaining its design, gets a full two days of battery life thanks to the S11 chip. According to a comparative study, the Apple Watch Series 12 proves to be more accurate in heart rate measurements than its competitors.\n\nPre-orders for the Apple Watch Series 12 and the new iPhones begin on September 11, with availability on the same day as the iPhone launch, September 18. Pricing details for the Apple Watch Ultra 4 in Malaysia have not been disclosed yet.",
