    AirPods 5 kontra AirPods 4: ANC w każdej wersji i niższa cena

    In comparison AirPods 5 vs AirPods 4 the most has changed not in the actual earphone, but in how much you have to pay for its best features. Active noise cancellation is now in both versions and reduces 50% more noise than in AirPods 4 with ANC. There is also IP57 resistance instead of IP54.

    The headphones went on sale September 18, 2026. In Poland, they cost 599 zł for the version with USB-C case and 699 zł for the case with wireless charging.

    There is one more thing that no presentation mentions: the casing has not changed by a millimeter. The earphone and case have the same dimensions as in AirPods 4, so a protective case bought two years ago will fit the new model.

    A short answer to who should choose what: AirPods 5 for every new purchase and when switching from basic AirPods 4, and AirPods 4 ANC only if you find them significantly cheaper. Owners of AirPods 4 ANC have no reason to upgrade.

    Below is the full table of both generations, an explanation of what really separates the version with USB-C case from the one with wireless case today, and a fair list of things that AirPods 5 do not improve at all.

    Wniosek z tabeli jest jeden: zmiany są w akustyce i wodoodporności, nie w elektronice. Czip, Bluetooth, wymiary i masa są dokładnie te same co dwa lata temu. Znak „=» oznacza wartość identyczną z pierwszą kolumną. Czasy pracy rozpisaliśmy osobno w sekcji o baterii, a pełną listę rzeczy bez zmian znajdziesz niżej.

    ANC o 50% skuteczniejsze: co to znaczy w praktyce

    Apple deklaruje, że AirPods 5 usuwają o 50% więcej hałasu z zewnątrz niż AirPods 4 z aktywną redukcją szumów. To nie jest efekt nowego czipu, bo ten się nie zmienił, tylko przebudowy samej konstrukcji.

    Nowa wieloportowa architektura akustyczna inaczej prowadzi powietrze wewnątrz słuchawki. Do tego doszły ulepszone algorytmy dźwięku obliczeniowego, które szybciej reagują na zmianę otoczenia.

    Warto rozumieć punkt wyjścia. AirPods 4 ANC były pierwszymi otwartymi słuchawkami Apple z aktywną redukcją szumów i redukcja w nich działała przyzwoicie w metrze czy samolocie, ale wyraźnie słabiej niż w dokanałowych AirPods Pro. Konstrukcja bez gumowej wkładki nie uszczelnia kanału słuchowego, więc część hałasu wchodzi bokiem.

    One and a half times better reduction in the same open design is a real leap, but it still doesn’t reach the level of AirPods Pro 3. If you’re looking for maximum silence rather than comfort for long hours of wearing, the in-ear model remains the right choice. We described the differences between the Pro generations in the comparison of AirPods Pro 3 and Pro 2.

    The transparency mode has also improved, sounding more natural, as well as the sound itself, thanks to the new generation adaptive EQ. A new feature is studio-quality recording, which means a better audio track when recording video with your phone.

    USB-C case or wireless: what divides both versions today

    This question has changed its meaning with this release and is worth discussing separately, as the difference between the variants no longer concerns sound.

    In AirPods 4, the extra cost primarily led to ANC, along with wireless charging and a speaker in the case. The cheaper version had no reduction at all, so the choice was simple: either you pay more, or you give up the most important feature.

    In AirPods 5, both versions sound the same and both have full ANC. The extra cost leads solely to comfort:

    • Volume control with a tap of the foot, slide your finger up or down instead of reaching for your phone
    • One hour more listening, 5 hours with ANC instead of 4, and 7 hours without ANC instead of 6
    • Wireless charging, with a Qi charger or the one from Apple Watch
    • Speaker in the case, helps find the lost case in the Find app

    Tip: if you have an induction charger at home or frequently lose your case, the upgrade is worth it. If you charge everything with a USB-C cable and keep the case in the same pocket, the cheaper version delivers exactly the same sound.

    Case with wireless charging: on the left AirPods 5, on the right AirPods 4. Photos: Apple.

    To zresztą sedno tej premiery. Dwa lata temu ANC w otwartych AirPodsach wymagało przejścia na droższy wariant; dziś dostajesz je już w wersji podstawowej. Aktywna redukcja szumów przestała być dodatkiem za dopłatą.

    Bateria: godzina więcej tam, gdzie liczy się najbardziej

    Zmiany w baterii są niewielkie, ale rozłożone dokładnie tam, gdzie użytkownik je zauważy.

    TrybAirPods 4 ANCAirPods 5 (etui USB-C)AirPods 5 (etui bezprzewodowe)
    Słuchanie z ANC4 godziny4 godziny5 godzin
    Słuchanie bez ANC5 godzin6 godzin7 godzin
    Łącznie z etui, z ANC20 godzin20 godzin22 godziny
    5 minut ładowaniaok. 1 godzinaok. 1 godzinaok. 1 godzina

    Najciekawszy jest wiersz drugi. Słuchanie bez ANC wydłużyło się w obu wersjach, mimo że to tryb, którym Apple w ogóle się nie chwali. Dla kogoś, kto nosi otwarte słuchawki głównie do podcastów w biurze, to zysk, który poczuje częściej niż lepsze ANC.

    Warto natomiast wiedzieć, że wersja podstawowa AirPods 5 nie wydłuża czasu z ANC. Cztery godziny to dokładnie tyle, ile dawały AirPods 4 z redukcją. Dodatkową godzinę dostajesz wyłącznie w wariancie z etui bezprzewodowym.

    IP57 instead of IP54: what it really changes

    This change looks like a shift of one degree in the table, but in practice it means a completely different category of resistance.

    IP54 provides protection against water splashes from any direction. Rain, sweat while running, splashing while washing dishes. The headset can survive this, but immersion is a different story.

    IP57 provides protection against immersion up to one meter for 30 minutes. Falling into a sink, puddle, washbasin, or into a jacket pocket left in the rain is no longer a death sentence.

    Dust resistance has also been increased: a five in the first position means that particles can enter, but will not disrupt operation. For someone who wears headphones at the beach or on a construction site, this is a concrete argument.

    However, during training, not only resistance matters, but also whether the headset will stay in the ear at all. An open design can be risky here, which we elaborated on in the guide how to choose headphones for the gym.

    The standard applies to both headphones and cases, which was not always obvious for buyers of AirPods 4.

    Uwaga: odporność IP nie jest wieczna. Uszczelnienia zużywają się z czasem, a gwarancja producenta nie obejmuje uszkodzeń wywołanych cieczą. Traktuj IP57 jako zabezpieczenie przed wypadkiem, nie jako zaproszenie do pływania.

    Czego AirPods 5 nie poprawiają

    Uczciwa lista rzeczy, które zostały dokładnie takie same:

    • Czip H2, ten sam układ, który debiutował w AirPods Pro 2 w 2022 roku
    • Bluetooth 5.3, bez zmiany standardu
    • Otwarta konstrukcja bez gumowych wkładek, z tymi samymi zaletami i ograniczeniami
    • Wymiary i masa słuchawki: 30,2 × 18,3 × 18,1 mm i 4,3 grama, co do grama jak w AirPods 4
    • Wymiary etui: 46,2 × 50,1 × 21,2 mm, bez zmian
    • Dźwięk przestrzenny ze śledzeniem ruchów głowy, ta sama implementacja
    • Izolacja głosu i spersonalizowana głośność, przeniesione bez zmian
    • Szybkie ładowanie: 5 minut wciąż daje około godziny słuchania

    There is no heart rate measurement that the AirPods Pro 3 received. There are no interchangeable tips or a switch to an in-ear design. There is also no new chip, so the range and connection stability remain at the level of its predecessor.

    One detail is worth catching before purchase: the speaker in the case for the Find My app is only available in the version with the wireless case. The division is exactly the same as in the AirPods 4, where the speaker was also only received by the more expensive variant.

    AirPods 5 price: how much do they cost in Poland

    Prices in the Polish Apple store look like this:

    VersionPrice
    AirPods 5 with USB-C case599 zł
    AirPods 5 with wireless charging case699 zł

    The box does not include a cable or charger, so if you are buying your first Apple device, add a USB-C cable right away. The case for both versions charges via cable, and the more expensive one additionally with a wireless charger.

    AirPods 4 zniknęły z pierwszego planu w sklepie Apple, ale zostały w sieciach handlowych, zwykle sporo taniej niż nowość. To ich jedyny, za to mocny argument.

    Etui do AirPods 5: czy stare pasuje?

    Zgodność etui to jedyny punkt, w którym Apple niczego nie popsuł, i warto o tym wiedzieć przed zakupem.

    Etui ładujące ma identical dimensions 46.2 × 50.1 × 21.2 mm in both generations. The weight also matches: 32.3 g in the USB-C version and 34.7 g in the wireless version. This means that the silicone or plastic case purchased for AirPods 4 will fit AirPods 5 without any looseness.

    This is confirmed by the manufacturers themselves. Tech-Protect introduced the Lamano series described directly as “AirPods 4 / 5″, without separating the generations.

    ElementCompatibility with AirPods 5
    Protective case for AirPods 4✅ fits, identical dimensions
    Case for AirPods 3❌ different shape of the case
    Case for AirPods Pro 3❌ different shape of the case
    Clips and carabiners for AirPods 4✅ fit

    The only thing worth noting: if you buy the wireless charging version, choose a thin case without metal inserts to avoid blocking energy transfer.

    Tech-Protect Lamano for AirPods 4 and 5

    Etui Tech-Protect Lamano is the simplest answer to the question of compatibility, as the manufacturer lists both generations in the product name. You don’t have to guess anything.

    The finish imitates leather, and the clip allows you to attach the case to a bag or backpack strap. There is also a Nature Muse version available in a lighter color scheme.

    Spigen Rugged Armor

    Etui Spigen Rugged Armor is a classic that works exactly as it does on phones in the version for AirPods. The flexible TPU with an embossed pattern does not slip from the hand, and the matte surface does not collect fingerprints.

    The cutout at the bottom leaves free access to the USB-C port, and the status LED remains visible through the case.

    ESR Orbit HaloLock with MagSafe

    Etui ESR Orbit HaloLock dodaje AirPodsom to, czego Apple im nie dał: magnetyczny pierścień zgodny z MagSafe. Etui przypina się do uchwytu w samochodzie albo do magnetycznej podstawki na biurku.

    To rozwiązanie ma sens szczególnie w parze z wersją z etui bezprzewodowym, bo magnes pomaga trafić w cewkę ładowarki indukcyjnej za pierwszym razem.

    UAG Scout

    Etui UAG Scout to wybór pod plecak i plac budowy. Konstrukcja z podwyższonymi krawędziami przyjmuje uderzenie zamiast zawiasu etui, który w AirPodsach jest najbardziej wrażliwym elementem.

    W zestawie jest karabińczyk. Jeśli wolisz wersję z wyraźniejszym wzorem, ten sam producent oferuje UAG Plasma.

    UNIQ Clyde Lock Case

    Etui UNIQ Clyde rozwiązuje najczęstszy problem otwartych etui na AirPodsy: samoczynne rozchylanie się klapki w kieszeni. Zatrzask trzyma wieczko zamknięte, dopóki sam go nie otworzysz.

    Tech-Protect MagMat

    Etui Tech-Protect MagMat is the second option with magnets, thinner than the Orbita and closer to the raw look of the Apple case itself. A good option when you want protection that is almost invisible.

    If you care about natural materials, check out the NOMAD Modern Leather case, which gains patina over time.

    We have compiled a complete list with descriptions in the article about the best cases for AirPods 4. All the models listed there also fit the fifth generation.

    AirPods 5 or AirPods 4: which model to choose?

    The comparison comes down to five situations and five clear answers.

    You have AirPods 4 ANC. Stick with them. The same chip, the same shape, the same spatial sound. You gain better noise cancellation and water resistance, but that’s not enough to replace functioning headphones.

    You have AirPods 4 without ANC. Upgrading makes sense. You get a feature that your model doesn’t have at all, and it’s in a version that’s half as effective as the one you had to pay extra for two years ago.

    You have AirPods 2 or 3. Get AirPods 5 without hesitation. The jump includes ANC, transparency mode, spatial sound, USB-C case, and IP57 resistance.

    You are buying your first Apple headphones. AirPods 5 in the basic version. Since ANC is available in both variants, and the sound is identical, only pay extra if you actually use wireless charging.

    You care about maximum silence. Choose an in-ear model. The open design has limits that no acoustic architecture can overcome. Check the case and accessories for AirPods Pro 3 or our guide in-ear or over-ear headphones.

    Summary

    AirPods 5 vs AirPods 4 is a launch where the most important change is price, not technology. Apple took the most expensive feature from the previous generation and put it into the basic model.

    Five conclusions to end:

    1. ANC is present in every version and reduces 50% more noise than in AirPods 4 with noise cancellation
    2. The choice of case no longer affects sound, only wireless charging, speaker in the case, volume control with a touch, and listening time
    3. IP57 instead of IP54 changes the category from «splash resistant» to «can withstand immersion»
    4. Chip, Bluetooth, dimensions, and weight are identical to AirPods 4
    5. The case from AirPods 4 fits without changes, as the charging case has the same dimensions

    If you stick with AirPods 4, invest in a good case instead of new headphones. If you’re switching to the fifth generation, don’t buy a new case. The one you have will fit without any issues.

    FAQ: frequently asked questions

    When were AirPods 5 released?

    AirPods 5 went on sale on September 18, 2026, with pre-orders starting on September 9. The launch took place alongside the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.

    Does the case for AirPods 4 fit AirPods 5?

    Yes. The charging case has identical dimensions of 46.2 × 50.1 × 21.2 mm in both generations, so the protective case purchased for AirPods 4 will fit AirPods 5 snugly. Some manufacturers, like Tech-Protect, describe their cases explicitly as “AirPods 4 / 5”.

    Do AirPods 5 have ANC in both versions?

    Yes. This is the main change of this generation. Both the version priced at 599 PLN and the one at 699 PLN have full active noise cancellation. In AirPods 4, noise cancellation was only available in the more expensive variant.

    How much do AirPods 5 cost in Poland?

    AirPods 5 with a USB-C case cost 599 PLN, while the version with a wireless charging case costs 699 PLN. The box does not include a cable or charger.

    What is the difference between the 599 PLN AirPods 5 and the 699 PLN version?

    Sound like nothing. The more expensive version adds wireless charging, a speaker in the case for the Find My app, volume control with a touch of the stem, and an hour longer listening on a single charge.

    Is it worth buying AirPods 4 instead of AirPods 5?

    It’s worth it if you find them significantly cheaper and accept weaker ANC and IP54 resistance. The chip, spatial audio, and shape are the same, so the biggest loss concerns noise cancellation effectiveness.

    Are AirPods 5 waterproof?

    They have an IP57 rating, meaning they can withstand immersion up to one meter for 30 minutes. This is significantly more than the IP54 in AirPods 4, which only protected against splashes. The standard applies to both the earbuds and the case.

    Apple Watch Ultra 4 vs Ultra 3: 50 hours and new sensors

    In comparison Apple Watch Ultra 4 vs Ultra 3, two things matter: battery and sensors. Ultra 4 works for up to 50 hours instead of 42, and the new health measurement system checks heart rate every 5 seconds around the clock and calculates the Readiness index from that. The screen, case dimensions, satellite, and diving remain unchanged.

    The watch went on sale September 18, 2026, and in Poland, it costs 3,799 PLN, exactly the same amount that Ultra 3 cost on the day of its premiere a year ago.

    There is also one very good piece of news that no presentation mentions: the case did not grow by a millimeter. Ultra 4 has the same dimensions of 49 × 44 × 12 mm as Ultra 3, Ultra 2, and the first Apple Watch Ultra from four years ago.

    A short answer to who should choose what: Ultra 4 for the first purchase and for upgrading from older than Ultra 3, Ultra 3 on sale if you count every penny. Owners of Ultra 3 have no reason to change.

    Below is the full table of both models, a fair list of things that Ultra 4 does not improve at all, and a specific answer to the question of whether your existing bands and cases will fit the new watch.

    Thirty-four positions, of which fourteen differ. More importantly: apart from 1.4 grams of weight, all differences lie in the battery, sensors, and software. The dimensions of the case and screen remain untouched.

    Accessories for both generations are readily available, as the cut has not changed. See straps and cases for the Apple Watch Ultra 49 mm →

    Battery: eight more hours and faster charging

    This is the most measurable change in the entire launch. The Ultra 3 claimed 42 hours of normal use, while the Ultra 4 states 50 hours. In Low Power mode, the jump is similar: from 72 to 84 hours.

    What does this mean in practice? The Ultra 3 usually discharged by the end of the second day, so you realistically charged it every other evening. The Ultra 4 comfortably lasts two full days with sleep tracking in between and leaves a reserve for a morning workout on the third day.

    The second gain is even more practical. 15 minutes of charging provides 18 hours of operation instead of 12. A quarter of an hour in the shower is enough to leave the house with the watch for the whole day and night.

    • Normal use: 50 hours instead of 42, which is 19% longer
    • Low energy consumption: 84 hours instead of 72
    • Outdoor training with GPS and heart rate: up to 18 hours in Ultra 4
    • Extended training: up to 25 hours in Ultra 4
    • Maximum extended training with GPS every second: up to 45 hours in Ultra 4
    • Charging to 80%: about 45 minutes in both models

    Note the last line. Apple hasn’t changed the full charging speeds, only what it provides in a quarter of an hour. For Ultra 3, the manufacturer does not publish separate results for outdoor training and extended mode, so these two items cannot be fairly compared.

    You won’t find chargers in the box of any of these models. If you need a second one for your desk or travel, choose it from the induction chargers category.

    New health measurement system, or the second half of this premiere

    Apple calls it the Health Sensing System, and it’s not just a marketing label for the same electronics. Both sensors on the bottom of the case have physically changed.

    Apple speaks directly about a new optical sensor and a new electrical sensor, meaning both systems responsible for heart rate and ECG. Details of the construction, such as larger LEDs or a different arrangement of photodiodes, are described by industry services; the manufacturer does not provide them in the specifications. The same set of sensors has also been introduced to the Apple Watch Series 12.

    Heart rate every 5 seconds instead of samples every few minutes

    Apple previously did not specify how often the Ultra 3 measures heart rate in the background. For the Ultra 4, it states directly: readings every 5 seconds around the clock, which is about 17 thousand times a day.

    Why so many? Because from denser data, you can calculate things that are not visible in sparse samples: response to stress, micro-fluctuations in heart rate after coffee, recovery pace after intervals.

    HRV measured 24 times more often and the Readiness indicator

    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a parameter that tells you whether the body has actually rested. The Ultra 4 measures it up to 24 times more often than its predecessor and separates it into regenerative HRV and overall HRV.

    This is the basis for Readiness, a score on a scale from 0 to 10 that you receive in the morning along with one of four recommendations: recover, pace yourself, you are ready, or go full throttle.

    Note: Apple provides the Readiness feature only in Ultra 4 and Series 12 and has not announced it for older models. The feature relies on measurement density that the sensor in Ultra 3 simply does not collect.

    If you train according to loads and realistically look at recovery, this is the reason to change your watch. If Ultra is primarily a durable watch with satellite for you, you won’t notice the difference.

    Audio Intelligence, or what the watch does with sound

    This is a set of four features that Ultra 3 will not receive: Sound Recognition (alarm, baby crying, siren), faster Shazam, Live Rewind (displaying the last 15 seconds of a conversation as text after double-pressing the crown), and Siri Recap (summary of the conversation).

    The first two have been available since launch. Live Rewind and Siri Recap require an iPhone with Apple Intelligence and are being rolled out in phases. Apple requires Series 12 or Ultra 4 for them, so it is not exclusive to the Ultra model, but older watches will not receive them.

    Czego Apple Watch Ultra 4 nie poprawia

    Uczciwa lista rzeczy, które zostały dokładnie takie same. W przypadku modelu Ultra jest ona wyjątkowo długa, bo poprzednik podniósł poprzeczkę bardzo wysoko.

    • Ekran: 422 × 514 pikseli, 1 245 mm² powierzchni i 3 000 nitów jasności, bez zmian
    • Szkło szafirowe w wersji płaskiej, identyczne w obu modelach
    • Koperta: te same 49 × 44 × 12 mm i ten sam tytan Grade 5
    • Łączność satelitarna: Alarmowe SOS, wiadomości i Znajdź mają oba modele
    • 5G RedCap i LTE, bez różnic
    • GPS dwuczęstotliwościowy L1 i L5, ten sam układ
    • Nurkowanie: 100 m wodoszczelności i EN13319 do 40 m w obu
    • Trzy mikrofony z beamformingiem, dwa głośniki i syrena, identycznie
    • Pamięć 64 GB i Ultra Wideband 2. generacji, bez zmian

    Nie ma też pomiaru poziomu glukozy, o którym co roku krążą plotki. Nie ma zmiany kształtu koperty ani nowego systemu mocowania pasków.

    Za to Ultra 4 jest o 1,4 grama cięższy (63,0 g wobec 61,6 g w tytanie naturalnym). To różnica, której na nadgarstku nie wyczujesz, ale warto wiedzieć, że nowsza generacja nieznacznie utyła, mimo identycznych wymiarów.

    Unofficially, 4 GB of RAM has also been added, as reported by 9to5Mac. Apple does not provide this parameter in the specifications, so treat it as second-hand information.

    Price of Apple Watch Ultra 4: how much does it cost in Poland

    The entry price has not budged. Apple Watch Ultra 4 costs 3,799 PLN in the version with natural or black titanium, always with GPS and cellular modem. Exactly the same price as Ultra 3 on the day of its release.

    Ultra 3 has given way to its successor in the spotlight, but it is still available from operators and in retail chains, usually a few hundred zlotys cheaper. This is its only, but very strong argument. A year ago, Ultra 2 was in a similar situation, which we compared with its successor in the comparison of Ultra 3 and Ultra 2.

    The Hermès version with a titanium bracelet is a separate price tier and purely an image choice. Underneath sits the same watch.

    Akcesoria do Apple Watch Ultra 4: wszystko ze starszej Ultry pasuje

    Tu jest najlepsza wiadomość całego porównania Apple Watch Ultra 4 vs Ultra 3, a zarazem rzecz, o której nie napisze Ci żaden serwis relacjonujący premierę.

    Koperta ma identyczne 49 × 44 × 12 mm we wszystkich czterech generacjach modelu Ultra. Oznacza to, że paski, etui, szkła i folie kupione do Ultra 1, Ultra 2 czy Ultra 3 wejdą na Ultra 4 bez żadnych przeróbek.

    To sytuacja odwrotna niż w linii Series. Tam koperta Series 12 zmieniła wymiary względem Series 11 (w wersji 46 mm urosła o milimetr wszerz) i etui z poprzedniej generacji przestało pasować. W Ultrze nic takiego się nie wydarzyło.

    Element Compatibility with Apple Watch Ultra 4
    49 mm bands from Ultra 1 / 2 / 3 ✅ fit without changes
    44 / 45 / 46 mm bands from Apple Watch Series ✅ fit, same lug size
    Cases for Ultra 1 / 2 / 3 ✅ fit without changes
    Glass and films for Ultra 49 mm ✅ fit, same cut
    Bands from smaller Series cases (38–42 mm) ❌ different lug size
    Cases, glass, and films from any Series ❌ different shape and size of the case

    Bands from larger Apple Watch Series cases can be found in the 42–49 mm category — the same models support Ultra.

    Beware of two traps. First, only the band attachment fits — cases and glass from the Series line have a different shape and will not fit the Ultra. Second, product cards will still say “Ultra 1 / 2 / 3″ for a few more months, as they were created before the launch of the fourth generation. This describes the state at the time of the product’s market introduction, not a limitation.

    Bands for Apple Watch Ultra 4

    Bands for Apple Watch Ultra 3 and those for Ultra 4 are exactly the same product today, as the 49 mm lug has not changed since the first generation. Below are three proposals from different price ranges.

    UAG Civilian

    Pasek UAG Civilian is the closest equivalent to the factory Trail band, only significantly sturdier. The soft silicone with an embossed pattern holds securely on a wet wrist, and the metal buckle does not unclip when snagged on a backpack.

    The manufacturer lists models from Series 4 to Ultra 2 in the name, as the band has been available for several years. The 49 mm attachment has not changed, so it also fits the Ultra 3 and Ultra 4.

    UNIQ Revix IV Premium

    UNIQ Revix IV Premium solves a problem that most manufacturers do not think about: one strap, two colors. It is double-sided, so you can flip it depending on whether you are going for a run or to a meeting.

    The magnetic clasp is adjustable without steps, without searching for the right hole. The size includes 44, 45, 46, and 49 mm, which means both the Ultra and larger Series.

    NOMAD Rocky Point Band

    NOMAD Rocky Point Band is a proposal for someone who bought the Ultra 4 for titanium and doesn’t want to ruin it with discount silicone. FKM rubber is resistant to sweat, salt, and UV radiation, and the fittings are made of titanium in the same shade as the case.

    FKM is the same material used for seals in diving equipment. It doesn’t stiffen in the cold and doesn’t yellow after the season.

    If you’re looking for something more formal, the same manufacturer offers a titanium bracelet NOMAD Stratos Band, which combines titanium links with FKM inserts.

    We have gathered more proposals in the overview of accessories for Apple Watch Ultra, and a separate compilation for running can be found in the text about sport bands for Apple Watch.

    Cases and glasses for Apple Watch Ultra 4

    Sapphire glass is scratch-resistant, but not impact-resistant. It breaks from point contact with concrete or a door frame just like regular glass. The cost of screen replacement in the Apple Watch Ultra exceeds a thousand zlotys, so the bill for protection becomes straightforward.

    Spigen Rugged Armor and tempered glass

    Spigen Rugged Armor case and Tempered Glass combines two things in one box: a flexible TPU case for the watch and glass for the screen. You don’t have to choose two products and check if they fit together.

    The matte finish does not collect fingerprints, and the cutouts leave free access to the crown, side button, and orange action button. If you prefer a slimmer profile, the same manufacturer has Spigen Liquid Air Pro.

    UAG Scout

    Etui UAG Scout is a choice for physical work and cycling. The protruding edge around the display takes the abrasion instead of the glass, and the reinforced corners protect the area where the titanium most often hits the wall.

    The manufacturer states compatibility as “Ultra 1 / 2 / 3” because the product has been available since the premiere of Ultra 3. The cut also fits Ultra 4.

    Tech-Protect Glass Ring

    Tech-Protect Glass Ring is an option for those who do not want to hide titanium under plastic. The metal frame in titanium color only surrounds the edge of the screen, while the rest of the case remains visible.

    The set includes two pieces, so the first unsuccessful application does not end the matter. If you prefer a completely invisible solution, check out the Bizon Watch Film HydroFlex hydrogel film in a set of six pieces or GrizzGlass hybrid glass.

    Apple Watch Ultra 4 or Ultra 3: which one to choose?

    The whole comparison comes down to five situations and five clear answers.

    You have an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and are considering an upgrade. Stick with your current one. The same screen, the same connectivity, the same satellite, and the same diving capabilities. Eight more hours of battery life is not worth the full price of a new watch unless recovery training is your main reason for wearing it.

    You have an Apple Watch Ultra 1 or Ultra 2. The jump is significant, but note: the biggest changes came with Ultra 3, not the 4. Satellite, 5G, and a larger screen are thanks to the previous generation. If you find Ultra 3 clearly cheaper, it will be a better purchase than paying extra for the latest model.

    You are buying your first Apple Watch Ultra. Choose Ultra 4. Since the entry price hasn’t changed, there’s no reason to reach for the predecessor at a price close to the new one.

    You are looking to save money. Ultra 3 on sale from the operator. You get the same screen, the same case, satellite, 5G, and diving up to 40 meters. You only lose the new sensors, Readiness, and eight hours of battery life.

    You are hesitating between the Ultra model and the regular Series. Ultra is primarily about battery, satellite, and diving. If none of these three things are necessary for you, check out the cheaper Apple Watch SE 3. And if you are looking beyond the Apple ecosystem, compare it with Google Pixel Watch 5.

    Summary

    Apple Watch Ultra 4 vs Ultra 3 is a comparison of two very similar watches, where the entire difference lies in two places: the battery and the sensors.

    Five conclusions at the end:

    1. The battery is the strongest argument: 50 hours instead of 42 and a quarter of charging giving 18 hours of operation instead of 12
    2. The new sensor system measures heart rate every 5 seconds and unlocks the Readiness indicator, which Ultra 3 will not receive
    3. The screen, case, satellite, and diving are identical, including 3,000 nits and EN13319 to 40 meters
    4. The case has not grown, so bands, cases, and glasses from any previous Ultra fit without modifications
    5. The entry price has not changed, so when purchasing for the first time, the newer model wins without discussion

    If you stick with Ultra 3, invest in a good strap and glass instead of a new watch. If you switch to the fourth, don’t buy accessories anew; the ones you have will fit without any problem.

    FAQ: frequently asked questions

    Do the straps from Apple Watch Ultra 3 fit Ultra 4?

    Yes. The case has identical dimensions of 49 × 44 × 12 mm in both generations, and the strap attachment has not changed. A strap from Ultra 1, Ultra 2, or Ultra 3 will fit on Ultra 4 without modifications.

    Does the case from Apple Watch Ultra 3 fit Ultra 4?

    Yes. This is the main difference compared to the Series line, where the Series 12 case grew by a millimeter and the case no longer fit. In the Ultra line, the cut has been the same since the first generation, so the cases and glasses are fully interchangeable.

    How much does Apple Watch Ultra 4 cost in Poland?

    Apple Watch Ultra 4 costs 3,799 PLN in the natural or black titanium version, always with GPS and cellular modem. This is exactly the same price that Ultra 3 started at a year earlier.

    How long does the battery last in Apple Watch Ultra 4?

    Up to 50 hours of normal usage and up to 84 hours in Low Power mode. During outdoor training with GPS and heart rate measurement, the watch lasts up to 18 hours, and in maximum extended training mode up to 45 hours.

    What’s new in Apple Watch Ultra 4?

    There are three new things: battery (50 hours instead of 42), redesigned sensor system with heart rate measurement every 5 seconds and a Readiness indicator, and the Audio Intelligence package. The screen, case, satellite connectivity, and diving remain unchanged compared to Ultra 3.

    Is it worth buying Apple Watch Ultra 3 instead of Ultra 4?

    It’s worth it if you find it significantly cheaper. The Ultra 3 has the same screen, the same case, satellite connectivity, 5G, and is waterproof up to 40 meters. You lose the new sensors, the Ready indicator, and eight hours of battery life.

    Is the Apple Watch Ultra 4 suitable for diving?

    Yes, just like its predecessor. Both models have a water resistance of up to 100 meters according to ISO 22810:2010 and EN13319 certification for recreational diving up to 40 meters, with a depth measurement accuracy of ±1 m.

    Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11: what has really changed?

    W porównaniu Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11 liczy się jedna rzecz: nowy system pomiaru zdrowia. Series 12 sprawdza tętno co 5 sekund przez całą dobę, mierzy HRV do 24 razy częściej i dorzuca wskaźnik Gotowość. Rozdzielczość, jasność i deklarowany czas pracy zostały bez zmian.

    Zegarek trafił do sprzedaży 18 września 2026, a ceny w Polsce zaczynają się od 1 899 zł, dokładnie tam, gdzie rok temu startował Series 11.

    Jest jednak druga zmiana, o której nie mówi żadna prezentacja: koperta urosła o milimetr. Brzmi jak drobiazg, ale to właśnie ten milimetr decyduje o tym, czy Twoje dotychczasowe etui wejdzie na nowy zegarek.

    Poniżej pełna tabela obu modeli i uczciwa lista rzeczy, których Series 12 wcale nie poprawia. Na koniec akcesoria: co pasuje do obu generacji, a co przestało pasować z dnia na dzień.

    Thirty-two positions, of which nineteen differ. Almost all differences, however, lie in one place: in the sensors and in what the watch calculates from them.

    Accessories for both generations are at your fingertips. See straps and cases for the Apple Watch 46 mm →

    The new health measurement system is the essence of this generation

    Apple calls it the Health Sensing System, and it is not a marketing name for the same electronics. Both sensors on the back of the case have physically changed.

    The optical sensor has been redesigned and received larger, more efficient green LEDs; MacRumors describes it as the fourth generation, although Apple does not provide a number. The electrical sensor, responsible for ECG, has transitioned to the second generation. This is the first such deep overhaul in several years.

    Heart rate every 5 seconds instead of samples every few minutes

    Series 11 samples heart rate in the background at intervals of a few minutes. Series 12 takes readings every 5 seconds around the clock, which is about 17 thousand times a day.

    Why so much? Because from denser data, you can calculate things that are not visible in a sparse sample. Micro fluctuations in heart rate after coffee, reaction to stress in the middle of a meeting, the pace of return to rest after exercise.

    Apple also declares the most accurate heart rate measurement in a watch, citing its own tests against the competition. This is, of course, a manufacturer’s declaration, not an independent audit.

    HRV measured 24 times more often and the new Readiness indicator

    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an indicator that tells you whether your body has rested. Series 12 measures it up to 24 times more often than its predecessor and divides it into two types: regenerative HRV and overall HRV.

    Based on this, Readiness was built, an assessment on a scale from 0 to 10 that you receive in the morning along with one of four recommendations: recover, pace yourself, you are ready, or go full throttle.

    Additionally, there is a view of vital parameters also during the day, not just at night. Series 11 displayed them solely based on sleep.

    Note: Apple provides Readiness exclusively in Series 12 and has not announced it for older models. The feature relies on the density of measurements, which the eleven does not collect.

    If you train regularly and realistically look at recovery, then this is the reason to change your watch. If you mainly wear it for notifications and payments, you won’t notice the difference.

    Ceramic Shield 2 and the return of the ceramic case

    The aluminum versions of Series 12 received Ceramic Shield 2, the same glass that Apple uses in the latest iPhones. According to Apple’s announcement, it is 60% more resistant than Ion-X from Series 11.

    This is a real gain, as the aluminum Apple Watch has always been the model that is easiest to scratch. Titanium and ceramic have sapphire glass, just like before.

    The second return is the ceramic case, absent from the lineup since Series 5. Available in two colors: pearl white and midnight blue.

    However, the ceramic has two catches. It is noticeably heavier (51.3 g in pearl white and 52.9 g in midnight blue, compared to 39.5 g in aluminum) and larger: 47 × 41 × 9.85 mm instead of 46 × 40 × 9.7 mm. This means that the case for the aluminum version 46 mm will not fit the ceramic one.

    The aluminum palette is also new: dark brown, black, light gold, and space gray. Titanium comes in gold and natural versions.

    Audio Intelligence, or what the watch does with sound

    This is a set of four features that Series 11 will not receive: Sound Recognition (alarm, baby crying, siren), faster Shazam, Live Rewind (playback of the last 15 seconds of a conversation), and Siri Recap (summary of the conversation).

    The first two have been functioning since launch. Live Rewind and Siri Recap will enter beta at the end of 2026 and require an iPhone 16 or newer with Apple Intelligence. The same package is also available for the Apple Watch Ultra 4, so it is not exclusive to Series 12.

    According to MacRumors, the new watch also has twice the RAM (4 GB instead of 2 GB) and a case back made of zirconium instead of sapphire. Apple does not provide either of these parameters in the official specifications.

    Battery in Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11: same duration, faster charging

    Here, Apple did not change the declared 24 hours of normal usage or 38 hours in Low Power mode. The numbers are identical to Series 11.

    However, the charging speed and endurance during training have changed:

    • Outdoor training: up to 10 hours instead of 8, which is 25% longer
    • 15 minutes of charging: up to 12 hours of work instead of 8, which is half more
    • 5 minutes of charging: up to 10 hours of sleep tracking
    • Charging to 80%: about 30 minutes, unchanged

    These five minutes before sleep is a change more practical than it looks in the table. Those who sleep with a watch know the problem of morning charging on the go.

    You won’t find chargers in the box of any of these models. If you’re buying a watch as your first Apple device, add it right away from the wireless charger category.

    The screen has shrunk by 2% and no one is talking about it

    This is the most interesting detail of the entire premiere. The resolution, brightness, and display technology are identical, but the active screen area has decreased:

    • 46 mm: from 1,220 mm² to 1,196 mm²
    • 42 mm: from 989 mm² to 970 mm²

    The envelope has grown, the screen has shrunk. Apple does not comment on this, but the arithmetic leads to one conclusion: the bezels around the display are thicker than in Series 11.

    Two percent is a difference that you won’t see with the naked eye. However, it is worth knowing that in this particular area, the newer generation has taken a step back, especially since Apple boasts about every advancement separately.

    What Series 12 does not improve

    An honest list of things that remain exactly the same:

    • Screen resolution and brightness: 416 × 496 pixels and 2,000 nits, unchanged
    • Declared battery life, the same 24 and 38 hours
    • Memory, 64 GB in both models
    • Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), standard from 2009, still relevant in Apple Watch
    • Bluetooth 5.3 and second-generation Ultra Wideband, unchanged
    • Water resistance 50 m and IP6X rating, identical
    • Sieć komórkowa, RedCap 5G i LTE mają oba modele

    Nie ma też pomiaru poziomu glukozy, o którym co roku krążą plotki. Nie ma zmiany kształtu koperty ani nowego systemu mocowania pasków. Jedno i drugie ma według nieoficjalnych doniesień przyjść dopiero z Series 13.

    Za to funkcje czysto programowe, jak Wynik snu czy powiadomienia o nadciśnieniu i bezdechu sennym, ma także Series 11. Nie płać za nie drugi raz.

    Apple Watch Series 12 cena: ile kosztuje w Polsce

    Cena Apple Watch Series 12 startuje dokładnie tam, gdzie rok temu startował poprzednik. Aluminiowa wersja 42 mm z GPS kosztuje tyle samo, ile w dniu premiery kosztował Series 11.

    Wersja42 mm46 mm
    Aluminium, GPS1 899 zł2 199 zł
    Aluminium, GPS + Cellular2 399 zł2 699 zł
    Tytan, GPS + Cellular3 299 zł3 599 zł
    Ceramika, GPS + Cellular4 399 zł4 699 zł

    Series 11 zniknął z oferty Apple, ale został u operatorów i w sieciach handlowych, zwykle kilkaset złotych taniej niż nowość. To jego jedyny, za to mocny argument.

    Ceramika jest w tym zestawieniu pozycją wizerunkową. Występuje wyłącznie z modemem, więc uczciwym punktem odniesienia jest aluminium z modemem: 4 699 zł wobec 2 699 zł za ten sam zegarek w innej obudowie i o 12 gramów lżejszy.

    Accessories for Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11: what fits which

    Here we return to the millimeter from the beginning of the article, because in the comparison of Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11, it is this that is the most costly difference.

    Straps for Apple Watch: fit both generations

    Good news: the strap attachment has not changed. A strap purchased for Series 11 will fit Series 12 and vice versa. Manufacturers describe them directly as compatible with models 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, and compatibility extends even further back, as we showed in the comparison of straps for Apple Watch Series 10.

    You just need to match the lug size, which is different from the number on the case:

    Your watchStrap category
    Series 11 or 12, 42 mm casestraps 38 / 40 / 41 / 42 mm
    Series 11 or 12, 46 mm casestraps 42 / 44 / 45 / 46 / 49 mm
    Apple Watch Ultra, 49 mm caseUltra 49 mm straps

    This is the most common mistake when purchasing. The 42 mm case in Series 11 and 12 takes a smaller lug, the same as the old 41 mm models. Despite the identical number in the name, it is not a size from the group of 42/44/45/46/49 mm.

    Tech-Protect Silicone

    Tech-Protect Silicone is the simplest answer to the question of compatibility. The manufacturer lists models from 8 to 12 as well as SE and Ultra in the name, so you don’t have to guess anything. The soft silicone does not absorb sweat and is suitable for swimming.

    Spigen Athlex Air M

    Spigen Athlex Air M is a training strap. The perforation wicks away sweat, and the Velcro closure holds securely during running.

    The name ends with «11» because the product was released before the twelfth version. However, the fit is determined by the lug size, which has not changed, so the strap will also fit the Series 12. We have gathered more models in the review of sport straps for Apple Watch 11.

    Spigen WBF01 Band

    Spigen WBF01 Band is a daily option, closer to the classic Apple sports band than the training version. The same attachment for 44/45/46/49 mm, so both generations will be supported without difference.

    [hs_products ids=»146771,146530,146419″ cols=»3″ title=»Bands compatible with Series 11 and 12″]

    Case for Apple Watch Series 12: here compatibility ends

    Bad news: the case from Series 11 will not fit Series 12. The casing tightly hugs the case, so a millimeter in width makes all the difference.

    This is evident from the descriptions of the manufacturers themselves. Spigen marks its Thin Fit 360 case as compatible with “Apple Watch 10 / 11” and there is no mention of the twelfth in this name. Bizon, on the other hand, released separate series dedicated exclusively to Series 12, separately for the 46 mm and 42 mm cases.

    The same principle applies to films and glasses for the screen. Since the display surface and frame thickness have changed, the cut from the previous generation will not fit the edges.

    Bizon Case Watch Adamo for Series 12

    Bizon Case Watch Adamo łączy obudowę ze szkłem na ekran, więc zabezpieczasz kopertę i wyświetlacz jednym produktem. Wersja przezroczysta nie zasłania koloru koperty, a matowa czerń zmienia zegarek wizualnie.

    Etui jest dostępne osobno dla wersji 46 mm i 42 mm. To nie jest jeden uniwersalny rozmiar.

    Bizon Case Watch Felipe do Series 12

    Bizon Case Watch Felipe is a proposal for physical work and cycling. It protects the screen with a protruding edge that takes the abrasion instead of the glass. Ceramic Shield 2 is more resistant than Ion-X, but still loses to concrete and door frames.

    Note when purchasing: the product card that states only «Apple Watch 46 mm» without a generation number almost always describes the cut for Series 10 and 11. Look for a description with the explicit «Series 12».

    [hs_products ids=»146683,143174,146680″ cols=»3″ title=»Case for Apple Watch Series 12″]

    If you stick with Series 11

    It’s still worth securing it, especially since the aluminum eleven has weaker Ion-X glass.

    UNIQ Valencia

    UNIQ Valencia is anodized aluminum combined with flexible TPU. It looks like a metal frame but behaves like a case. A good choice when you want protection that is not visible.

    The manufacturer lists compatibility as «Apple Watch 46 mm,» without a generation number, and the product was introduced before the twelfth generation was released. Consider it a case for Series 11 and 10.

    Bizon Watch Film HydroFlex

    Bizon Watch Film HydroFlex is a hydrogel film in a set of six pieces, cut for Series 11 and 10 in size 46 mm. The version for 42 mm is sold separately. Hydrogel conforms to the curvature of the screen better than rigid glass.

    The cost of repairing the screen on an Apple Watch can reach several hundred zlotys, while a set of films is a fraction of that amount. The math is simple.

    Apple Watch 12 or 11: which one to choose?

    Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11 comes down to five situations and five clear answers.

    You have Series 11 and are considering an upgrade. Stick with what you have. The same resolution, the same battery, the same connectivity. Unless regeneration and training data are your main reasons for wearing a watch. Then Readiness and denser HRV are a real argument.

    You have Series 9 or an older model. Go for Series 12. The leap is significant: 24-hour battery instead of 18, a noticeably larger screen, faster charging, a whole new layer of health features, and Ceramic Shield 2.

    You are buying your first Apple Watch. Series 12 in aluminum version. Since the entry price hasn’t changed, there’s no reason to reach for the predecessor at a price close to the new model. If the budget is tight, an alternative is the cheaper Apple Watch SE 3.

    You are looking for savings. Series 11 on sale from the operator. You get the same resolution and brightness, the same battery, the same runtime, and all software features. You only lose the new sensors and Readiness.

    You are considering ceramic. Only if you care about the appearance. Underneath, it’s the same watch, and for the case alone, you pay almost as much as the entire aluminum model costs. In this budget, the Ultra is already included, which we described in the comparison of Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Ultra 2.

    If you are also looking beyond the Apple ecosystem, compare it with Google Pixel Watch 5, and if you are looking for a watch specifically for running, check our ranking of running watches 2026.

    Summary

    The entire comparison of Apple Watch Series 12 vs 11 comes down to one idea: to measure the heart more accurately and more often than before. Everything else has remained almost untouched.

    Five conclusions at the end:

    1. New sensors are the only real reason to change, heart rate every 5 seconds, HRV up to 24 times more often, Readiness indicator
    2. Resolution, battery, and connectivity are identical to Series 11, including 24 hours of operation and Wi-Fi 4
    3. Ceramic Shield 2 realmente ayuda a los propietarios de la versión de aluminio, ya que es la variante que más fácilmente se raya
    4. La caja ha crecido 1 mm, las correas siguen siendo compatibles, pero las fundas y protectores de la Series 11 ya no lo son
    5. El precio de entrada no ha cambiado, así que al comprar el modelo más nuevo, gana sin discusión

    Si te quedas con la once, invierte en un protector y una buena correa en lugar de un nuevo reloj. Si te cambias a la doce, recuerda que la funda debe estar etiquetada como «Series 12», las anteriores simplemente no encajarán.

    FAQ: preguntas frecuentes

    ¿Las correas del Apple Watch 11 son compatibles con la Series 12?

    Sí. El sistema de sujeción de las correas no ha cambiado entre generaciones, por lo que la correa de la Series 11 encajará en la Series 12 sin modificaciones. Solo recuerda que la caja de 42 mm usa un enganche más pequeño (38/40/41/42 mm), y la caja de 46 mm usa uno más grande (42/44/45/46/49 mm).

    ¿La funda del Apple Watch 11 es compatible con la Series 12?

    No. La caja de la Series 12 es 1 mm más ancha en ambos tamaños, por lo que la carcasa de la generación anterior no se cerrará correctamente. Busca una funda etiquetada específicamente como «Apple Watch Series 12».

    Is it worth buying the Apple Watch Series 11 instead of 12?

    It is worth it if you find it significantly cheaper. Series 11 has the same screen, the same battery, the same 5G connectivity, and all software features, including Sleep Score and hypertension notifications. You lose the new sensors and the Readiness indicator.

    Does the Apple Watch Series 12 measure blood pressure?

    No, it does not measure blood pressure. Both generations, 11 and 12, however, have hypertension notifications. The watch analyzes data from the optical sensor and signals possible symptoms but does not provide blood pressure values.

    What is the difference in battery life between Series 12 and 11?

    The declared battery life is identical: up to 24 hours of normal use and up to 38 hours in Low Power mode. Series 12 lasts up to 10 hours of outdoor training instead of 8, and 15 minutes of charging provides 12 hours of use instead of 8.

    Will Readiness come to the Apple Watch Series 11 in an update?

    Apple provides Readiness exclusively in Series 12 and has not announced it for older models. The feature relies on measurement density, which the sensor from Series 11 simply does not collect.

    How much does the Apple Watch Series 12 cost in Poland?

    Prices start at 1,899 PLN for the 42 mm aluminum version with GPS. The 46 mm variant costs 2,199 PLN, versions with cellular modem start from 2,399 PLN, titanium from 3,299 PLN, and ceramic from 4,399 PLN.

    Which Apple Watch size to choose: 42 or 46 mm?

    The 42 mm size fits wrists with a circumference of 130–200 mm, while the 46 mm fits 140–245 mm. A larger case means a bigger screen and the same battery life, while the smaller one is lighter by about 7 grams and less noticeable under a sleeve.

  • iPhone 18 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro: co się zmieniło

    iPhone 18 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro: co się zmieniło

    The biggest difference between the iPhone 18 Pro and the 17 Pro is the main camera with a variable aperture, the first such mechanism in the history of the iPhone. In addition, there is the A20 Pro chip with steam cooling and longer battery life: up to 34 hours of video playback instead of 31 in the seventeen.

    The casing has not changed at all. Both phones have identical dimensions, the same screen, the same zoom range, and the same front camera. This comparison is therefore shorter than it might seem, and boils down to three areas: camera, performance, and battery.

    Below is the full specification table, commentary on each real change, a list of things that remain unchanged, and an answer to the question of whether switching from seventeen makes sense.

    Camera: variable aperture and what it really offers

    This is the only change in this comparison that you will see in the photos, not in the benchmark. The main Fusion 48 MP camera in the iPhone 18 Pro switches between four aperture values: ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8, and ƒ/4.0. The iPhone 17 Pro has a fixed aperture, like every previous iPhone.

    In practice, it works both ways. At ƒ/1.48, more light hits the sensor than in any previous iPhone, which saves photos in low light and indoors. At ƒ/4.0, the depth of field increases, so in a group photo or macro shot, the entire frame stays sharp, not just the foreground. Previously, such background blur or its absence had to be simulated programmatically in portrait mode.

    Apple has added to this Pro control: manual adjustment of aperture, shutter speed, and white balance, as well as a histogram preview. This is a set that previously required a third-party app.

    The rest of the optical layout remains unchanged. The ultra-wide Fusion 48 MP and the Fusion 48 MP telephoto lens with a focal length of 100 mm are the same as in the seventeenth model, as is the entire zoom range: 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x.

    Performance: A20 Pro and vapor cooling

    The iPhone 18 Pro received the A20 Pro chip instead of the A19 Pro. Apple describes it as the most powerful and energy-efficient chip in iPhone history, built for AI computations. A key architectural change is the dual 16-core Neural Engine instead of a single one, along with Neural Accelerator accelerators.

    Additionally, there is vapor cooling. This is more important than it sounds, and it’s not just about benchmark results. The vapor chamber dissipates heat from around the chip, allowing the phone to maintain peak performance longer before it starts to throttle. This is noticeable during extended 4K video recording and gaming, which is precisely where iPhones have throttled after just a few minutes for years.

    Uczciwe zastrzeżenie: Apple nie publikuje procentowego porównania A20 Pro z A19 Pro. Liczby krążące w sieci dotyczą albo parametrów samego procesu produkcyjnego, albo porównań ze znacznie starszymi generacjami. Jeśli korzystasz z telefonu do przeglądania, zdjęć i mediów społecznościowych, różnicy w codziennej pracy nie zauważysz.

    Bateria i ładowanie

    Tu zmiana jest wymierna i podana wprost przez Apple.

    ModelOdtwarzanie wideo
    iPhone 17 Prodo 31 godzin
    iPhone 18 Prodo 34 godzin
    iPhone 17 Pro Maxdo 37 godzin
    iPhone 18 Pro Maxdo 43 godzin

    Wersja Max zyskała najwięcej, bo aż sześć godzin. To różnica rzędu jednego dodatkowego wieczoru bez ładowarki. Częścią tego zysku jest większa bateria i stąd bierze się wzrost masy: 249 g zamiast 231 g w Pro Maksie i 211 g zamiast 204 g w wersji Pro.

    Ładowanie przewodowe jest szybsze: do 50% w około 15 minut zasilaczem o mocy 60 W lub wyższej z regulacją napięcia. Ładowanie bezprzewodowe zostało bez zmian, czyli do 25 W przez MagSafe i tyle samo przez Qi2. To dobra wiadomość dla portfela, bo ładowarek nie trzeba wymieniać.

    Co się nie zmieniło

    Ta lista jest dłuższa niż lista zmian i warto ją przeczytać przed decyzją o przesiadce.

    • Screen. The same 6.3-inch diagonal, the same OLED Super Retina XDR technology, and the same ProMotion up to 120 Hz.
    • Body. Unibody aluminum, Ceramic Shield 2 on the front with three times higher scratch resistance than in the iPhone 16 Pro, Ceramic Shield on the back. The same in both generations.
    • Dimensions. Identical to the tenth of a millimeter, more on that shortly.
    • Zoom range. 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x in both phones.
    • Front camera. Center Stage 18 MP in both generations.
    • Durability. IP68 up to 6 meters for 30 minutes.
    • Wireless charging. Up to 25 W via MagSafe and Qi2.
    • Memory. The same range from 256 GB to 2 TB, with no 128 GB version in either model.
    • Face ID. Still in Dynamic Island, not under the screen.

    Price: iPhone 18 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro

    The increase is 500 PLN at entry level and remains at every memory level.

    Model (256 GB)Starting priceChange
    iPhone 17 Pro5,799 PLN–
    iPhone 18 Pro6,299 PLN+500 PLN
    iPhone 17 Pro Max6,299 PLN–
    iPhone 18 Pro Max6,799 PLN+500 PLN

    It is worth noting that the iPhone 18 Pro costs exactly as much as the iPhone 17 Pro Max did a year earlier. For the same amount, you choose between a newer phone in a smaller body and an older one with a larger screen.

    The full price list of both models of the eighteen, along with the Max version and the foldable iPhone Duo, is detailed in the text iPhone 18 Pro price in Poland.

    Is it worth switching from the iPhone 17 Pro to the 18 Pro?

    The answer depends on what you use the phone for, but it is quite clear.

    It is worth it if you earn from photos or videos. The variable aperture plus Pro controls are a real tool, not just cosmetics. Additionally, there is steam cooling that maintains performance during longer recordings, and six extra hours of battery life in the Max version.

    It is not worth it if you use the phone normally. The screen is the same, the body is the same, the front camera is the same, the zoom is the same, and the wireless charging is the same. With a jump of one generation, you pay 500 zł more for a camera feature that you may never consciously use.

    It is worth considering if you are switching from the iPhone 16 Pro or older. In that case, the difference accumulates over two generations and also includes the unibody aluminum case, Ceramic Shield 2, and Center Stage 18 MP in the front. Our text comparison of the iPhone 16 Pro and 17 Pro will be helpful here.

    Accessories: what you will transfer from the seventeen

    The casing has not changed, so the case from the iPhone 17 Pro fits, MagSafe accessories too. The exception is the glass and frame for the camera — the camera island has grown, and you need to buy the version for the eighteen. We laid out the entire list of what you will transfer and what you won’t, with dimensions and how to check a specific model, in a separate guide: whether the case from the iPhone 17 Pro fits the iPhone 18 Pro.

    Summary

    1. The variable aperture is the only change you will see in the photos. Four values from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0 plus manual Pro control.
    2. A20 Pro with steam cooling and dual Neural Engine. Apple does not provide a percentage comparison with A19 Pro, so be cautious with the numbers from the web.
    3. Battery longer by 3 hours in Pro and by 6 hours in Pro Max. At the cost of 7 and 18 grams of weight.
    4. Casing, screen, zoom, front camera, and wireless charging unchanged. The list of unchanged items is longer than the list of novelties.
    5. Price higher by 500 PLN. 6,299 PLN instead of 5,799 PLN for the 256 GB version.
    6. When switching, you only buy glass for the camera. You transfer the case and MagSafe accessories without purchases.

    FAQ

    What is the difference between iPhone 18 Pro and 17 Pro?

    Three things: a main camera with a variable aperture of ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0, an A20 Pro chip with vapor cooling and a dual Neural Engine, and longer battery life, up to 34 hours of video playback instead of 31. The screen, casing, zoom, and front camera are the same.

    Does the iPhone 18 Pro have a larger screen than the 17 Pro?

    No. Both models have 6.3 inches, and the Max versions have 6.9 inches. The same OLED Super Retina XDR technology and the same ProMotion up to 120 Hz.

    What is a variable aperture in a camera?

    It is a mechanism that changes the size of the opening through which light enters the sensor. A wide-open aperture (ƒ/1.48) lets in more light and blurs the background, while a closed one (ƒ/4.0) provides greater depth of field, meaning the entire frame is sharp. The iPhone 18 Pro does this mechanically, while earlier models simulated the effect programmatically.

    How much heavier is the iPhone 18 Pro than the 17 Pro?

    By 7 grams: 211 g instead of 204 g. In the Max version, the difference is 18 grams, 249 g instead of 231 g. This is due to the larger battery and vapor chamber, not due to a change in the shape of the casing.

    Is it worth paying extra for the iPhone 18 Pro?

    If you photograph or record professionally, yes, because the variable aperture and vapor cooling are real tools of the trade. With regular use, the 500 PLN difference mainly buys you camera functionality, which you may consciously choose not to use.

    Does the iPhone 18 Pro have better zoom than the 17 Pro?

    No. Both phones offer the same optical zoom range: 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x, with a 48 MP Fusion telephoto lens with a focal length of 100 mm.

    Does the case from the iPhone 17 Pro fit the 18 Pro?

    Yes. The body dimensions are identical: 150.0 × 71.9 × 8.75 mm. Only the camera glass does not fit, as the camera island has grown.

    Does the iPhone 18 Pro have Face ID under the screen?

    No. The TrueDepth module still sits in the Dynamic Island, just like in the iPhone 17 Pro. The Dynamic Island has received a new incarnation and can track up to three live events simultaneously.

  • Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE: what has really changed?

    Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE: what has really changed?

    In comparison Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE, the differences come down to three things: the Exynos 2500 processor instead of 2400, the One UI 9 system instead of One UI 8, and the USB port, which has reverted to version 2.0. The screen, all three cameras, selfie, and the 4,900 mAh battery are identical.

    The S26 FE was launched on August 27, 2026, and sales start on September 4.

    Place both phones side by side, and you won’t distinguish them without looking into the settings. Samsung has transferred almost all the hardware from last year and raised the price.

    Below is the full table of both models, resolving the circulating rumor about the silicon-carbon battery, which is even repeated in the specification tables, and a section about accessories: what fits which model and why the case from S25 FE won’t fit on S26 FE.

    When each model entered the market

    Both phones debuted at the same time of the year, with less than twelve months apart. The Galaxy S25 FE had its premiere and sales start on the same day, while the S26 FE got a week break between the two.

    Galaxy S26 FE is now official. Samsung unveiled it on August 27, 2026, and immediately provided the full specifications and prices, so all the data in this article comes from the manufacturer, not leaks. The phone hits stores on September 4, 2026.

    Samsung S25 FE has been on sale for a year, which changes the entire calculation. Remember this for the price section, as this is where the most significant difference between these models lies.

    Nine different positions out of twenty-five. Of these, five are cosmetics (dimensions, weight, colors, charging speed, version number of One UI), two are steps back, and the performance gain comes from the processor along with the graphics chip.

    What does Exynos 2500 provide in everyday use?

    Exynos 2500 is the only noticeable change in daily use. The chip is built on the second generation of the 3 nm GAA process, while Exynos 2400 from S25 FE used 4 nm.

    Performance gain according to Samsung:

    • About 30% faster processor (CPU) and graphics chip (GPU)
    • About 40% faster NPU, responsible for Galaxy AI functions
    • Newer main core: Cortex-X925 instead of Cortex-X4
    • Newer graphics chip: Xclipse 950 instead of Xclipse 940

    NPU is more important here than it looks on paper. It counts the Galaxy AI functions, such as summaries, real-time translations, and photo processing. If you actually use Galaxy AI, that’s the biggest difference in the entire comparison.

    Note: 30% on paper does not mean a 30% faster phone. Both models perform practically the same in everyday tasks, such as browsing, social media, and photos. The difference reveals itself in gaming and under prolonged load.

    The screen and cameras remain unchanged

    There’s nothing to write about here, and that’s the most important information.

    The screen parameters are identical: 6.7 inches, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 1080 × 2340, refresh rate from 60 to 120 Hz, declared brightness of 1,900 nits, Gorilla Glass Victus+.

    The camera setup is identical, sensor by sensor:

    • Main 50 MP, f/1.8, with optical stabilization (OIS)
    • Ultrawide 12 MP, f/2.2, field of view 123°
    • Telephoto 8 MP, 3× optical zoom, with OIS
    • Selfie 12 MP, f/2.2

    Video recording is also unchanged: 8K at 30 fps and 4K at 120 fps in both models.

    Sensory są te same, ale zdjęcia przechodzą przez nowszy procesor sygnału obrazu (ISP), więc Samsung zapowiada nieznacznie lepszą rozpiętość tonalną po zmroku. To jedyne, co w aparatach faktycznie się zmienia.

    Nowe w S26 FE są wyłącznie funkcje programowe: My FanCam (automatyczne trzymanie wybranej osoby w kadrze, wcześniej dostępne tylko w modelach składanych) oraz Super Steady z blokadą poziomu. To software, który Samsung może w przyszłości udostępnić także starszemu modelowi.

    Bateria bez zmian i bez ogniwa silicon-carbon

    Oba telefony mają 4 900 mAh, tę samą moc ładowania przewodowego 45 W i bezprzewodowego 15 W.

    Krąży informacja, że Samsung S26 FE dostał baterię silicon-carbon. Nie jest potwierdzona. Samsung nie wymienia tej technologii w oficjalnej specyfikacji, a SamMobile wprost pisze o zwykłym ogniwie litowo-jonowym. Część baz danych, w tym GSMArena, oznacza jednak ogniwo jako Si/C.

    Rozstrzygnięcia od producenta nie ma. Pewne jest natomiast to, że silicon-carbon trafiło w lipcu 2026 wyłącznie do modeli składanych: Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 i Z Fold 8 Ultra.

    Real profit during operation comes not from the cell, but from a more efficient 3 nm processor. Samsung claims about an hour longer video playback, and the EU energy label states 50 hours of operation compared to 42.5 hours in the S25 FE and class A instead of B.

    The difference in charging is cosmetic: 69% in 30 minutes compared to 65% in the S25 FE. Four percentage points.

    Hidden downside: the battery will last fewer cycles

    This is not advertised by Samsung, and it directly results from the EU energy label. The cell in the S26 FE is certified for 1,200 charging cycles, while in the S25 FE it is 2,000. A cycle is a full charge from zero to one hundred percent; after exceeding this limit, the battery retains less than 80% of its original capacity.

    In practice, 1,200 cycles still mean several years of normal use. However, it is worth knowing that with seven years of system support, the battery will deplete its certified reserve much earlier than the updates.

    To achieve the full 45 W, both models require the same USB Power Delivery charger (USB PD) with a power of at least 45 W. When purchasing accessories, you do not need to distinguish between generations.

    USB port is the first step backward

    The Galaxy S26 FE has a USB-C port in 2.0 standard, while the S25 FE had USB 3.2 Gen 1. This is the second point, alongside battery life, where the newer model performs worse than its predecessor.

    Loading works just as fast, because power does not depend on the data standard version. Only file transfer is slower.

    The scale of this difference is impressive only with specifics. A minute of 8K video weighs several hundred megabytes, so an hour of material is several dozen gigabytes. With USB 3.2 Gen 1, you can transfer it in a few minutes, while with USB 2.0, the phone will stay connected to the computer for much longer.

    If you use the cloud or transfer photos wirelessly, you won’t notice the difference.

    System and updates, or the difference of one year

    Galaxy S26 FE starts with One UI 9 on Android 17, while S25 FE debuted with One UI 8 on Android 16.

    Both generations have the same support policy: seven generations of Android and seven years of security patches. However, since S26 FE starts a year later, its support ends a year later.

    This is a real advantage of the newer model, although in practice it means choosing between a phone supported until 2032 and one supported until 2033. S25 FE will still receive One UI 9 in an update.

    Here lies the real difference between the models

    The starting prices of both models in Europe:

    VersionGalaxy S25 FE at launchGalaxy S26 FE at launch
    8 GB / 128 GB750 EUR799 EUR
    8 GB / 256 GB810 EUR899 EUR
    8 GB / 512 GB930 EUR1 099 EUR

    Samsung S26 FE is more expensive at every memory level. The increase grows with capacity: 49 EUR for the base version, 89 EUR for 256 GB, and as much as 169 EUR for 512 GB.

    However, something else is key. The Galaxy S25 FE has been on the market for a year and has clearly dropped in price. The actual level of reduction depends on the store and promotions, but you can buy the older model today noticeably cheaper than on the day of its release, while the S26 FE is just starting with a full price list.

    Combine this with the specification table: you get the same screen, the same camera setup, the same battery, and a faster USB port, paying significantly less. For most people, the Galaxy S25 FE is a more sensible purchase today.

    Galaxy S26 FE vs S25 FE: which one to choose?

    Choose Galaxy S26 FE if:

    • You regularly use Galaxy AI features, as the NPU has gained the most here.
    • You game and want power reserves for a few years ahead.
    • You care about the longest possible support, until 2033.
    • You buy a phone for six or seven years and the price difference is spread over that period.

    Choose Galaxy S25 FE if:

    • You are looking at the price-to-performance ratio. The screen, cameras, and battery are identical, and you pay significantly less.
    • You transfer large files via cable, as only this model has a fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.
    • You do not use AI features intensively enough to feel the faster NPU.

    Our choice: with today’s price difference, the Galaxy S25 FE wins for most buyers. The Galaxy S26 FE makes sense if you plan to keep the phone until the end of the support period or heavily use Galaxy AI.

    If you are considering stronger models from this family, we have compared them in the comparison Galaxy S26 Ultra and S25 Ultra.

    Accessories: does the case from Galaxy S25 FE fit S26 FE?

    It does not fit and it’s not worth trying. This is the first question that arises when changing generations, and here the answer is clear.

    The difference in dimensions is 0.3 mm in height and 0.3 mm in width, and according to Android Authority, Samsung has slightly redesigned the camera island. The thickness is identical (7.4 mm), so soft cases from the previous model can often be stretched, but:

    • The camera cutouts do not align in the same place. With the changed island, part of the lens may be covered.
    • The buttons do not align with the cutouts, making clicking uncomfortable.
    • Rigid cases crack at the corner when trying to stretch them.

    It’s the same with tempered glasses. The diagonal and resolution have not changed, but the 0.3 mm wider front means that the glass for the S25 FE will not cover the screen evenly, and the glue will partially hit the edge.

    Note: manufacturers released dedicated versions for the S26 FE even before the phone went on sale, so there’s no reason to compromise. Choose accessories described exactly for the model you have.

    Magnets: a common problem for both generations

    Neither the Galaxy S25 FE nor the S26 FE have built-in magnets. Both charge wirelessly in the Qi2 standard at 15 W, but neither will attract itself to the charger or holder.

    W obu przypadkach rozwiązanie jest to samo: etui z pierścieniem magnetycznym. Zakładasz je i telefon zaczyna trzymać się ładowarek Qi2, powerbanków magnetycznych, uchwytów samochodowych i portfeli na karty. Ten sam mechanizm opisaliśmy przy iPhone’ie 16e bez MagSafe.

    Akcesoria magnetyczne pasujące do obu modeli znajdziesz w kategoriach ładowarki indukcyjne oraz akcesoria MagSafe.

    Akcesoria do Galaxy S26 FE

    Etui i szkła do nowego modelu trafiły do magazynu, zanim telefon w ogóle pojawił się w sklepach.

    Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag MagSafe

    Do czego pasuje: Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag, jeśli zależy Ci na magnesach.

    Etui łączy sztywne plecy z poliwęglanu (PC) z elastyczną ramką z TPU (termoplastyczny poliuretan), a do tego dokłada pierścień magnetyczny, którego brakuje w samym telefonie.

    Accessories for Galaxy S25 FE

    Samsung S25 FE has been on the market for a year, so the selection is much wider: the case category alone has over a hundred items. We have gathered the full ranking in a separate article about the best cases for Galaxy S25 FE.

    UAG Scout MagSafe

    Konstrukcja pancerna z magnesami i certyfikatem MIL-STD-810G. UAG robi etui grubsze niż Spigen, ale to właśnie ta grubość chroni przy upadku na krawędź.

    Tech-Protect Magflex MagSafe

    This is a thinner alternative to armored constructions, also with a magnetic ring. It will work well if you don’t want the case to add bulk to the phone.

    Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit Pro

    The EZ Fit system is one of the best-designed: the frame positions the glass itself, so even adhesion usually succeeds on the first try. The set includes two pieces.

    Summary

    Galaxy S26 FE is a remarkably cautious update. Samsung has transferred almost all the hardware from its predecessor. The processor, system, and USB port have changed. The screen, all cameras, and battery have been carried over unchanged.

    Three things worth remembering:

    1. The real gain comes only from the processor. Exynos 2500 is about 30% faster in CPU and GPU and 40% in NPU, which is mainly noticeable in games and Galaxy AI features.
    2. There are two steps back, not one. The USB port has reverted to version 2.0, and the certified battery lifespan has dropped from 2,000 to 1,200 charge cycles.
    3. The price tips the scales in favor of S25 FE. With the same screen, cameras, and battery, the older model is now noticeably cheaper.

    Regardless of the choice, both phones are worth complementing with the same: a case with a magnetic ring, as neither has built-in magnets, and tempered glass, as Gorilla Glass Victus+ protects against scratches, not drops.

    FAQ: Galaxy S26 FE and S25 FE

    Is it worth paying extra for Galaxy S26 FE?

    Usually not. The screen, all three cameras, and the battery are identical to the S25 FE, and the newer model has a slower USB port. The extra cost makes sense if you use Galaxy AI intensively or want the longest support, which is until 2033.

    When is the Galaxy S26 FE premiere and when does sales start?

    The premiere took place on August 27, 2026, when Samsung showcased the phone and provided the full specification. Sales start on September 4, 2026.

    What distinguishes the Galaxy S26 FE from the S25 FE?

    Three things: the processor (Exynos 2500 in 3 nm instead of Exynos 2400 in 4 nm), the operating system at launch (One UI 9 on Android 17 instead of One UI 8), and the USB port, which has reverted from 3.2 Gen 1 to 2.0. The screen, cameras, selfie, and 4,900 mAh battery are identical.

    Does the Galaxy S26 FE have a silicon-carbon battery?

    There is no confirmation from the manufacturer. Samsung does not mention silicon-carbon in the official specification, and SamMobile writes about a regular lithium-ion cell of 4,900 mAh, although some databases label it as Si/C. It is certain that in July 2026, this technology was received exclusively by foldable models: Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra.

    Does the case from the Galaxy S25 FE fit the S26 FE?

    No. The new model is 0.3 mm taller and wider, and the camera island has been slightly redesigned. The cutouts for the camera and buttons do not align in the same place, so you need a case dedicated to the specific model.

    Does the Galaxy S26 FE have magnets for MagSafe?

    No, just like the S25 FE. Both phones charge wirelessly using the Qi2 standard at 15 W, but they do not have a built-in ring of magnets. The magnets are added by the case, such as the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag or UAG Scout MagSafe.

    Which phone has a longer battery life?

    The Galaxy S26 FE, but the difference is small. The capacity is identical (4,900 mAh), and the gain comes from the more efficient 3 nm processor. Samsung claims about an hour longer video playback.

  • Mi Band 7 kontra Mi Band 6

    Sport bands from Xiaomi have been very popular for a long time. It can be confidently said that this is quality equipment, while also at a very affordable price.


    What do we know about the latest Xiaomi Mi Band 7?

    The band debuted on May 24 and several significant changes have been introduced, which are worth mentioning. Namely, the most noticeable is definitely the larger screen with a size of 1.62 inches and a resolution of 192 x 490 pixels. In the Mi Band 6, the screen size is 1.56 inches and a resolution of 152 x 486 pixels. The latest band has a higher brightness level (500 nits vs 450) so using maximum brightness on sunny days will work perfectly. However, in both cases, there is a lack of automatic brightness adjustment. The band is equipped with a 2 times larger battery. Its capacity is 180 mAh vs 125 mAh in the Xiaomi Mi Band 6.

    In both cases, however, there is a lack of a GPS module, so it is not possible to register the course of our route. The latest model has an Always-On Display mode, which means that notifications and the date are available all the time. The available animated watch faces look great, pleasing the eye with an interesting graphic design. The new Mi Band has received as many as 120 different activities, which is a significant difference compared to 30 activities in the previous model. A novelty is also the SpO2 sensor, which will check the oxygen content in the blood and alert when saturation drops below, for example, 90%. Thanks to the enlarged screen, more graphs appear, they are much more vivid, and messages have more content. The Xiaomi Mi Band 7 is also slightly faster. Measuring heart rate or oxygen saturation occurs faster, so the speed of results will appear quicker.
     
    And what about the price of Xiaomi Mi Band 7?

    In China, the band is priced at 249 yuan (for us, it costs about 160 PLN). The NFC version is more expensive, namely it rises to 299 yuan (costing about 200 PLN).

    Co wiemy o najnowszym Xiaomi Mi Band 7?

    Opaska zadebiutowała 24 maja i wprowadzono kilka znaczących zmian, które warto wymienić. Mianowicie, najbardziej rzucającą się w oczy cechą jest zdecydowanie większy ekran o wielkości 1,62 cala i rozdzielczości 192 x 490 pikseli. W Mi Band 6 ekran ma wielkość 1,56 cala i rozdzielczość 152 x 486 pikseli.

    W obu przypadkach brakuje jednak modułu GPS, co uniemożliwia rejestrowanie trasy naszej drogi.

Dostępne animowane tarcze wyglądają świetnie i cieszą oko interesującą grafiką. Nowy Mi Band otrzymał do 120 różnych aktywności, co stanowi znaczną różnicę w porównaniu do 30 aktywności w poprzednim modelu. Nowością jest również czujnik SpO2, który monitoruje poziom tlenu we krwi i alarmuje, gdy saturacja spada poniżej 90%. Dzięki powiększonemu ekranowi jest więcej wykresów, które są znacznie bardziej wyraziste, a wiadomości mają więcej treści. Xiaomi Mi Band 7 jest również nieco szybszy. Pomiar tętna lub saturacji tlenu w organizmie odbywa się szybciej, dzięki czemu wyniki są wyświetlane szybciej.
