The Oura Ring 4 is now available to purchase through Costco’s online store, and it comes with a handy extra you don’t get everywhere else. Oura’s continued expansion into stores is a highly important step to getting the smart ring on more fingers, and will help Oura reach a potentially different base of customers too.

You’ll be able to visit Costco online and buy the Oura Ring 4 in gold, silver, or black finishes, and the retailer should carry all sizes between size four and size 15. There’s a small incentive to purchase the Oura Ring through Costco too, as the bundle will include an additional charging plinth. It’s more helpful that you may think, as it’s custom made for the Oura Ring, so even if you only ever use it as a spare, there won’t be any worry about losing a charger when traveling.

The Costco deal adds another outlet to the growing number of options available to those interested in the smart ring. Best Buy and Target also sell the Oura Ring directly in the U.S., as does John Lewis in the U.K.. Alternatively, Amazon sells the smart ring, and you can also purchase it through Oura’s own website. Oura recommends you should always get one of the sizing kits first, to ensure you order the correct size smart ring. It’s best to wear one of the plastic rings in the sizing kit for 24 hours to make sure you choose a ring that fits your finger at all times, as various factors can make your fingers swell and contract during the day, and especially at night.

The Oura Ring 4 starts at $349 and has a $6 per month subscription fee attached to it. A Brushed Silver, Stealth, and Rose Gold model is available to buy through Oura’s website if the black, silver, or gold versions at Costco aren’t for you.

iPhone 17 is going to get pricier, hold on to your wallets
Planning to buy an iPhone 17? You may have to pay more as soon as next week
Apple iPhone 17 in Lavender Purple

Apple may be preparing to raise the price of the iPhone 17 lineup as early as August 10, just weeks before the company is expected to introduce its next generation of iPhones. The possibility comes from a new rumor reported by 9to5Mac, which cites a Weibo post from leaker Fixed Focus Digital claiming that prices could increase on Monday.

There is no official confirmation from Apple, and the report does not identify a direct source for the alleged increase. Still, the timing is notable. Apple is widely expected to adjust iPhone pricing when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month, but an increase affecting the existing iPhone 17 models earlier than that would be a significant change to the usual pattern.

Creating custom WhatsApp stickers could soon become much simpler, especially if ChatGPT is already part of the workflow. A new APK teardown suggests OpenAI is developing a feature that would allow users to generate custom stickers inside ChatGPT and export them directly to WhatsApp. While the functionality isn't live yet, hidden code discovered in the latest Android app points to native WhatsApp integration, potentially eliminating the need to save images and manually convert them into stickers first.

Maroon, Text

It’s August, which means one thing if you follow smartphones even remotely closely: new Pixels are almost here. Google is holding its next Made by Google event on August 12, and this year, we’re expecting another packed lineup of phones. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all expected to take the stage. Yes, that’s the same four-phone lineup Google gave us last year, but the interesting part will obviously be what’s changing underneath. Between the usual camera improvements, new hardware, and whatever AI tricks Google has been cooking up, there should be plenty to talk about.

And the phones may only be part of the story. Google is expected to have a few more announcements up its sleeve, making this one of its biggest hardware events of the year. So, if you’re planning to tune in, here’s when the Made by Google event starts, how you can watch it, and everything we expect Google to announce.
