Samsung just put a new shape on its foldable phone lineup, and the difference sits in your hand the moment you pick it up.

Apple’s fall event calendar has settled into a familiar groove, and this year’s Labor Day landing on September 7 leaves Wednesday the 9th looking like the strongest candidate for the iPhone 18 Pro reveal.

A later Monday date remains possible, yet the early-September slot has held more often than not.

The board still delivers complete PlayStation 4 performance, only now it draws less power and fits inside a cleaner shell.
Garmin just introduced Cirqa, a slim fabric band that records health and activity data around the clock while staying completely blank. No display lights up. No notifications flash. The only interaction on the device itself is a single side button that starts a favorite activity you already chose in the companion app. Everything else lives on your phone.
