Oura Advisor is a personal health coach (literally) on your finger

Oura Advisor is now live for all Ring Gen 3 and Gen 4 users, although it might not have landed on your device just yet. This program takes all of the information gathered from your Oura Ring and translates it into easy-to-understand insights.

“Advisor is your in-app health and wellbeing assistant,” says Johanna Still, UX Writing Manager and Head of Insights at Oura. “It helps make sense of your data—whether it’s your sleep, activity, or recovery trends—by providing context and insights that go beyond the numbers.”

Oura Advisor lets users see longer-term health trends at a glance. For example, it can identify problematic sleep patterns that you might have missed. Since Advisor is AI-powered, you can ask it questions you might have. “Why am I so tired today? I thought I slept well.” “What steps can I take to improve my energy levels?”

You can choose how Oura Advisor speaks to you, too! If you prefer a friendlier approach, you can choose the “conversational” option. This gives it a more encouraging tone of voice, versus the “direct” option which acts more like a personal trainer. In other words, it doesn’t cut you as much slack. You can also choose how often it prompts you to check in, too: daily, three times a week, weekly, or never.

Still warns that while useful, Oura Advisor is a work in progress. “Think of Advisor as a new team member with an impressive learning curve,” she says. It might not always provide the correct answer, but it is capable of learning and improving over time. The longer you use it — and the more health data your Oura Ring collects — the better Advisor will become.

Apple’s foldable iPhone may arrive this fall, but good luck getting your hands on one
Apple’s foldable iPhone hype may run straight into a launch shortage

Apple’s first foldable iPhone may have a repeat of the iPhone X moment this fall. A new report from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the rumored iPhone Ultra (foldable iPhone) could be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but preorders and sales may arrive later because early production is expected to be extremely limited.

Kuo says Apple may build around 7 million to 8 million foldable iPhones in the second half of 2026. The problem is timing. Only 0.5 million to 1 million units are expected to be ready in the third quarter, which is when Apple usually prepares for its September iPhone launch. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, by comparison, are expected to have around 20 million to 22 million units ready in the same period.

Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones this fall, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra. The iPhone 18 Pro Max was recently tipped to get a major battery boost, with one leak claiming a 5,235mAh battery for the physical SIM model and a 5,425mAh battery for the eSIM-only version.

Now, China’s 3C certification database (via Digital Chat Station) appears to show the actual battery capacities for both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Interestingly, the Pro Max numbers listed there are even larger than the earlier leak suggested.
