1. iPhone 15

Apple debuted the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus at the end of September, which are "faster and more powerful" than previous models, with an all-new design featuring color-infused back glass and a contoured edge. Notably, the new iPhones are equipped with an advanced camera system, which is designed to make flawless image capture easier with a 48MP Main camera with 2x Telephoto option. A departure from Apple's previous use of the lightning cable, the iPhone 15 charges via USB‑C cable or wireless charging.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are available in five colors: pink, yellow, green, blue, and black.

2. KitchenAid Go Cordless System Small Appliances

No matter the size of your kitchen, there are only a limited number of power outlets, and they fill up quickly. Consider going wireless with cordless appliances like the new KitchenAid Go Cordless system. The line includes six commonly used small appliances: a hand mixer, hand blender, food chopper, personal blender, coffee grinder, and kitchen vacuum.

Each small appliance runs on a 12-Volt MAX battery and recharges via the included USB-C cable. Start off with one you’ll use most often along with the KitchenAid Go Battery & Charging Dock Bundle and expand the system as you discover the beauty of being able to cook, bake, and clean, wire-free.

3. lululemon Wundermost Collection

Characterized by a new fabric that’s called “Ultra Soft Nulu,” the new Wundermost Collection from lululemon will be on the radar for every fan of the brand. What is Ultra Soft Nulu? The double-layered material offers four-way stretch, sweat-wicking and quick-drying capabilities, and it’s luxuriously soft.

There are nine items from which to choose at launch, including four bodysuits, two bras and bralettes, and three tops, all of which come in 14 colors, from classic hues like black to eye-catching, bolder options like sonic pink. Sizing range is vast, from 0-14 and XXS to XL with items designed to fit all body types and pricing that won’t break the bank.

4. Tempo by Home Chef Ready-to-Heat Meals

Tempo by Home Chef is a new option that not only sends fresh ingredients to your door to take the guesswork out of dinner time, the meals are already cooked and ready to heat and enjoy. The meals are ready in just four minutes, while the weekly rotating menu means you can sample various cuisines and flavors. All meals are created by chefs, ranging from flavorful garlic sesame chicken stir fry with brown rice and green beans to scrumptious teriyaki beef with edamame, broccoli, and quinoa. Each meal is packed with protein and vegetables, calorie conscious, and contains only whole grains.

We tried Home Chef’s oven ready meals, which are ready between 25 and 50 minutes, and found the dishes flavorful, filling, and visually appetizing, and expect no less from the ready-to-heat Tempo options.

5. 1More Fit Open Earbuds S50

Not everyone likes traditional true wireless earbuds. Maybe you can’t find the right fit, or they don’t feel secure enough during rigorous activity. Pairs like the 1More sports earbuds S50 are a perfect compromise that still give you the benefit of tiny buds with the added security of ear hooks that wrap around your lobes for a more secure fit.

Available in grey or silver, the open-ear design doesn’t completely plug your ears either, so you can still hear noises around you while running on a local trail, working out at the gym, or traveling by train. They’re even IPX7 sweat-resistant so the beads of sweat from your intense HIIT session or 10K run are no match. While ideal for active individuals, these buds are great for commuting, travel, and everyday wear as well.

6. GoPro Hero 12 Black

GoPro unveiled its latest action camera this September, the GoPro Hero 12 Black. With a longer battery life, higher-quality lens and more advanced features, it vastly improves upon its predecessor for those looking to capture their adventures in greater detail. The new model, powered by a GP2 processor, can capture videos in 5.3K (up to 30 frames per second (fps) in 16:9 aspect ratio), and 4K (up to 30fps in 8:7 and 60fps in 16:9), stabilized by GoPro’s in-camera HyperSmooth technology. It's equipped with a 1/1.9-inch sensor with a 156-degree field of view—while the Max Lens Mod 2.0 is also up for grabs should you desire an even greater field of view and HDR capabilities.

Other exciting features include horizon lock, improved audio quality, and voice commands in multiple languages, as well as the ability to wirelessly synchronize multiple Hero 12 Black cameras via timecode on GoPro’s Quik app.
