Are you still using an analog scale or a digital scale that only tells you how much you weigh? It's time for an upgrade! Withings is known for its award-winning smart scales, and they are launching a brand new one on October 4th.

While the newest version of iPadOS has traditionally been released at the same time as the newest version of iOS, this year is different. For the first time since the original version of iPadOS came out in 2019, the new iPad software will be released later in the fall, closer to the macOS Ventura release rather than the release of the newest iPhone software. Many are attributing the delay to the need to fix the unusually buggy iPadOS beta software before making it available to the public. While we're disappointed with the delay, we do anticipate iPadOS 16 to be released in October. Find out which iPads will work with iPadOS once it's available, which iPadOS features will be immediately available and why iPadOS is delayed.

New iPhone 14 Pro: 48 MP Camera, Dynamic Island & Always-On

Apple unveiled the Pro line of its iPhone 14 series, featuring the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, at its "Far Out" event on September 7. The most notable change is the move away from the infamous notch to what Apple is calling the "Dynamic Island." This still obstructs your screen to a certain degree, but it looks completely different and changes depending on what you are doing on your iPhone. As always, the iPhone camera got an upgrade, but this time it includes a massive jump from 12 megapixels to 48! Finally, with the switch to the Always-On display, Apple promises all-day battery life on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
