Following a summer filled with new phones from Samsung and Google, it’s almost time for Apple fans to get their time in the spotlight. According to a new report, Apple’s next iPhone event will be held on September 10.

Rumors of the September 10 date aren’t new, though the latest report comes from a pretty trustworthy source: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. According to “people familiar with the situation,” September 10 is the day we’ll see the iPhone 16, the Apple Watch Series 10, and more.

Apple usually holds its annual iPhone event in early September, typically on a Tuesday. Given that, the most likely days for this year’s event were always either September 3 or September 10. Still, it’s nice to have confirmation from one of the most prolific Apple leakers that September 10 is the day we can look forward to. Gurman claims that sales for the new gadgets will begin on September 20.

As mentioned above, the show’s two stars are expected to be the iPhone 16 and the Apple Watch Series 10. There have been a lot of leaks about the new iPhone. Word on the street is that there will be a new Capture Button on all four models (iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max), larger displays, upgraded camera sensors, and pretty similar designs to the existing iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro families.

We’ve heard much less about the Apple Watch Series 10. Larger displays and thinner bodies are anticipated. Unfortunately, we aren’t expecting any major new health features. We should also get an Apple Watch Ultra 3, though even less has leaked about it. Gurman also indicates that Apple will announce a new version of the baseline AirPods.

If you’re hoping for new Macs or iPads, it doesn’t sound like those are coming at the September 10 event. However, that’s perfectly fine. Four new iPhones, two new Apple Watches, and a new pair of earbuds is plenty. Plus, Apple has been known for holding another event in October for Mac and iPad updates, so there’s always that to look forward to.

Google has spent the last few years expanding Android's Find Hub network, making it easier to track lost devices and accessories. But there's been one obvious piece missing from the puzzle: a first-party tracker of its own. That may finally be about to change.

According to a report from 9to5Google, Google's long-rumored Pixel Tag has finally broken cover. The accessory has appeared in multiple online listings, with the report also revealing what seems to be its first leaked image, offering an early look at Google's answer to Apple's AirTag and Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag.

An iPhone app designed to alert users when smart glasses may be nearby has climbed to No. 3 on the US paid App Store chart. Its name, AntiZuck Smart Glasses Scanner, leaves little doubt about how the developer feels about Meta’s camera-equipped glasses.

The app costs $2.99 and scans for Bluetooth signals linked to smart glasses. It can spot Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, then sends an alert when it believes one is nearby.

Smart glasses have quietly morphed into tiny surveillance cameras that people willingly wear on their faces. Every other week, a new pair promises to record video, listen to conversations, and feed it to an AI model somewhere in the cloud. They are causing such havoc that they have earned a new name: “pervert glasses.”

Not only are these glasses a privacy nightmare for people being recorded but also for people using them. A recent investigation by Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet showed that Meta Ray-Ban glasses were uploading intimate and private recordings for training its AI.
