Apple’s next press event is set to kick off today, Tuesday, September 12, beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. The uniquely named “Wonderlust” event will almost certainly introduce the world to the iPhone 15 series and next-generation Apple Watches — including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. We could also see USB-C finally arriving on the Apple AirPods Pro.

Like last year’s event, the iPhone 15 event will be streamed across various platforms, including Apple’s website, on iPhone/iPad and Apple TV, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube. Here’s a look at how to stream the highly anticipated event as it happens later today.

A fantastic option to watch the Apple event is by accessing the company’s YouTube account. It’s especially useful for users who wish to purchase the new iPhone 15 but can only access the event through a mobile web browser … on their Android-based device.

You’ll be able to watch the iPhone 15 event on YouTube on any device that can access YouTube.

Wearables

Bluetooth’s biggest speed boost in years could finally make lossless wireless audio more accessible

Bluetooth audio may finally stop settling for good enough.

I keep wired headphones in my bag just for the moments when I actually care how a song sounds. That says a lot about how I feel about Bluetooth audio. Wireless trades sound quality for convenience, but Bluetooth might finally fix that.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has formally announced Bluetooth High Data Throughput (HDT). It is a new optional feature that lets Bluetooth carry far more data than before, which could translate into better wireless audio (via Bluetooth SIG).

Wearables

Apple Watch learned new hand gestures in just a minute. It’s the most exciting wearable research I’ve seen in years.

The broad idea behind TransfHAR is to have the smartwatch learn repetitive movements and then remember them, and subsequently take linked actions. Sounds like a dream for smart home automation, and a lot more!

Apple brought gesture support to its smartwatches not too long ago. The capabilities, however, are pretty limited. Right now, the smartwatch can only recognize a two-finger tap gesture and a wrist flick gesture. But it seems the smartwatch already has the right set of sensors to recognize and learn a much wider variety of hand gestures, and doing so wouldn’t require any monumental effort.

Researchers from Northwestern University and Carnegie Mellon University have developed a system called TransfHAR that uses the motion sensors inside the Apple Watch, the accelerometer and the gyroscope, to learn and identipfy activities based on the movement of your hands and wrist. Imagine your Apple Watch triggers an action by recognizing your hand motion, without any touch input or voice command. Yeah, that's the core premise here.

Samsung brings upgraded sleep apnea detection to Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch

Sleep tight, because your Galaxy Ring is now watching your breathing.

Samsung has been steadily turning its wearables into health companions, and its latest update is a big one. The company’s upgraded Sleep Apnea feature has arrived on both Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring.

The rollout comes after the US FDA cleared the feature in July, and Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) gave it the green light as well. Samsung also gets bragging rights here, as it is the first company to bring sleep apnea risk detection to a smart ring.
