A few things happened in September, and by “a few” I mean a metric ton. We had Apple’s annual fall hardware dump, which included several new iPhone 17s, a few new Apple Watches, AirPods Pro 3, and the iPhone Air. That was followed up by Connect, Meta’s annual dev conference, where it unveiled the future for […]
Apple Watch Ultra 3 Review: Biggest Is Best, Except If It’s Not
This past April marked the 10-year anniversary of the Apple Watch. Those early aluminum, stainless steel, and—yes—18k gold models launched without a clear idea of what they were for. Apple wanted its smartwatch to be a fashionable timepiece, a fitness tracker, a cellphone, a music player, a turn-by-turn navigator, and more. It seemed obvious that […]
Do You Really Need a New Apple Watch If You Already Have One?
Reviews for the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 came out today. I’m in the process of reviewing them. I only have two wrists, and there are three Apple Watches to review—so yeah. Besides, I need to collect more health data before I feel comfortable pushing reviews. If you’re reading reviews and […]
Apple’s Cheaper Apple Watch SE May Be the Wearable Most People Need
Why spend more than $300 for an Apple Watch? Apple may have its wearables fans asking that question with the new Apple Watch SE. The third-gen update brings a host of upgrades, including a new screen and better performance from a new chip. It may not have all the health tracking features of the mainline […]

Apple is suing Chinese consumer electronics company Oppo for poaching a member of the Cupertino giant’s Apple Watch team to allegedly steal trade secrets. Apple, represented by lawyers from Kirkland & Ellis, is bringing the lawsuit against the company’s former sensor system architect Dr. Cheng Shi, and his new employers China-based Oppo and California-based Innopeak.

Everything We Expect Apple to Announce at WWDC25 on June 9
Apple is planning to completely rejigger the software on all its biggest products, from the iPhone and Mac all the way down to the Vision Pro. To promote this rapid maturation across the Apple ecosystem, every OS will reportedly experience a growth spurt and jump from whatever number it’s on to “26,” according to Bloomberg. […]
The Asus VivoWatch 6 Aero Monitors Blood Pressure With a Finger
Innovation often comes from the places you least expect. For example, Asus claimed it cracked the code for measuring blood pressure with its slim-form VivoWatch 6 Aero. Most other smartwatch makers are working on passive BP readings through the cuff (or a sensor in constant contact with the wrist), but Asus seems to think the […]
The Apple Watch Should Be Getting a Glassy Makeover Later This Year
Last year, Apple revamped the Apple Watch with a thinner chassis and larger, brighter OLED display. This year, the software that powers the wearable, watchOS, could be getting a much bigger makeover. While plenty have been assuming this would happen given the relatively minor changes to the Apple Watch over the last few years, the […]
Apple Wants to Turn its Watches Into Wearable AI
Despite the general failure of wearable AI devices to win over consumers, and Apple’s own inability to convince people to use its AI tools, the company is apparently going to try to kill two birds with one stone by turning the Apple Watch into an AI-infused wearable. According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on a […]
