Apple Watch Series 9 Buyer’s Guide: How Incremental Upgrades Stack Up Over the Years

The Apple Watch has received some incremental updates in recent years, with significant upgrades becoming fewer and farther between as the device has progressed. Since the Apple Watch’s generation-over-generation enhancements are relatively small, it is all the more important to consider when an upgrade is justified and whether an older model could suffice for your needs.

The Apple Watch Series 9’s headline upgrade is the S9 chip, bringing improved performance to the Apple Watch for the first time in four years and facilitating features like Double Tap. It is priced starting at $399. Last year’s Series 8 introduced body temperature sensing and Crash Detection, but the last moderately significant update for the device was 2021’s Series 7, which introduced larger display sizes and fast-charging capability. All previous Apple Watch models from before the Series 9 have been discontinued, but older models may still be found for even lower prices from third-party retailers or second-hand.

Read on to see the breakdown below for each new feature, change, and improvement that was added with each Apple Watch model compared to its direct predecessor. Viewing each generation’s changes in this way helps weigh up the accumulative upgrades one receives by skipping multiple generations when buying a new device, as well as get a sense of which generations offered the biggest overall upgrades.

The ‌Apple Watch Series 9‌ does not seem to provide a meaningful upgrade for most Series 7 and Series 8 users. If you have an Apple Watch Series 6 or older, upgrading to the ‌Apple Watch Series 9‌ will generally be worthwhile, with plenty of new features across the board. Discounted Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8 models are also a good option for those coming from a Series 6 or older if you are looking to save money.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has considered moving the Apple Watch away from an annual upgrade cycle to offer more substantial updates less frequently. Next year’s Apple Watch “Series X” is rumored to be a significant update to mark the tenth anniversary of the device, featuring thinner casings, larger displays, microLED technology, larger batteries, blood pressure monitoring, and a new mechanism for connecting bands.Related Roundup: Apple Watch Series 9Buyer’s Guide: Apple Watch (Buy Now)This article, “Apple Watch Series 9 Buyer’s Guide: How Incremental Upgrades Stack Up Over the Years” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Hybrid working is still causing a lot of headaches for IT admins

Companies aren’t handling remote device cybersecurity adequate, and HP is calling for a change to device management.

A new HP study has unveiled just how much of a headache remote workers are giving IT admins when it comes to using work devices at home.

The news comes amid a global shift away from remote working as more companies look to reinstate office-working mandates, with many citing better productivity, but workers have not been happy about the changes.

HP’s analysis reckons that three-quarters (75%) of companies are struggling with IT operational challenges in the new world of hybrid working.

Is hybrid working bad for businesses?

Among the top challenges facing IT admins were ensuring data security (60%), keeping software on remote devices up-to-date (55%), and maximizing the accuracy of asset databases (also at 55%).

The research found that only 42% of companies perform firmware updates annually, with 23% every two years or less, and a further 12% “when essential.” This increased security vulnerability is further accentuated by remote workers, whereby business laptops might not be connected to company networks or inspected by admins as frequently as they would in the office.

Speaking of the flexibility brought on by digital working, HP Global Head of Security for Personal Systems Dr. Ian Pratt said: “As the workplace evolves, security must too. To offer secure, efficient, and user-friendly IT experiences in the future, companies will need an always-on endpoint management infrastructure that can support this new way of working.”

Given the circumstances, HP sees this as a perfect opportunity to plug its HP Wolf Protect and Trace, but more broadly, it found that four in five (82%) of respondents were considering investing in solutions that can geo-locate, lock, and erase PCs remotely. 

Moving forward, HP suggests that a shift to “always-on” security will be vital to ensuring companies’ devices stay protected.

Apple ‘Concerned’ About China’s New App Store Rules Banning Unregistered Foreign Apps

Apple staff met with Chinese officials in recent months to discuss concerns over new rules that will restrict Apple from offering many foreign apps currently available in its China App Store, according to a new paywalled Wall Street Journal report.

China already blocks the website of many popular Western social media apps like Instagram, X (now Twitter), Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp, but iPhone users in China can still download the apps from Apple’s ‌App Store‌ if they use an unauthorized VPN that connects them to an internet server outside the country. China banned VPN services from the ‌App Store‌ in 2017.

The five social media apps named above have been downloaded from Apple’s ‌App Store‌ more than 170 million times in China over the last decade, according to estimates by Sensor Tower.

According to the report, Chinese officials told Apple staff that it must strictly implement rules banning unregistered foreign apps, thereby closing a loophole allowing Chinese ‌iPhone‌ users to download them.

Under new rules issued in July by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Apple will no longer be able to offer such apps in its China ‌App Store‌ from next July unless the app operators are registered with the government. The new rules affect both foreign and domestic app distributors, and aren’t specifically targeting Apple.

However, the operators are unlikely to register with the Chinese government, since doing so would force them to comply with data transfer and censorship requirements. Such a scenario would leave Apple with no choice but to remove them or face legal sanctions.

Investors are said to be concerned about how the new rules will affect Apple’s services bottom line, which includes ‌App Store‌ transactions. Apple is also said to be concerned about issues the company could face in implementing the rules, such as whether users in China who access foreign apps through its overseas app stores would be able to continue to do so.

According to the report, Apple was told during the recent discussions that the new rules are needed to crack down on online scams, pornography, and the circulation of information that violates China’s censorship rules.

China has recently banned government officials from using iPhones and other foreign smartphones for work or from bringing such devices to their government offices, and earlier this month the band was expanded to multiple state agencies and state companies, highlighting China’s renewed attempts to block foreign technology.

China is an important market for Apple, with the region accounting for about a fifth of its sales.
Most of Apple’s manufacturing base remains in the country, despite the company’s efforts in recent years to diversify its supply chain to places like Vietnam and India.Tags: App Store, ChinaThis article, “Apple ‘Concerned’ About China’s New App Store Rules Banning Unregistered Foreign Apps” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 accessibility features include support for PS5 Access controller

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will have PS5 Access controller support.

Insomniac Games has expanded on its accessibility features for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by adding PlayStation Access controller support.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Insomniac Games revealed which features will be returning to the Spider-Man sequel, while also providing the details on the game’s post-launch accessibility plans, including how players will be able to utilize the Access controller to fit their playstyle.

The PlayStation Access controller is set to launch on December 6, making Spider-Man 2 the first official PS5 game to officially announce compatibility. Audio descriptions, a screen reader, and captions – for environmental sounds, music, etc. – will also be added in a free update arriving in December.

In terms of what’s confirmed for launch, Spider-Man 2 will have Challenge Levels and Challenge Level Modifiers, allowing players to customize enemy health, damage, and stealth awareness to make their experience their own.

Swinging around New York City while chasing after bad guys looks incredibly fun, but Insomniac has added a Chase Assist option which aims to reduce your target’s speed. It will also increase time windows before escaping, automatically attach webs when a target is in range, and readjust the camera to the target when you press R3. 

This feature was introduced in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered after some players had difficulty completing the story in the original 2018 release.

Other returning accessibility options include Quick Time Event (QTE) Autocomplete, Audio Frequency Controls, and Shortcuts, which allow players to map a variety of options to the Left or Right D-pad, and Game Speeds. 

Game Speeds was a feature first introduced to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you’ll be able to slow down the action during combat to 70%, 50%, or 30% of the full speed, and seamlessly switch back at any time. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to launch on October 20 exclusively for PS5 and will feature interchangeable playable characters Peter Parker and Miles Morales in an expanded New York setting. 

However, unlike previous entries in the series, the game will be skipping last-gen consoles, including PS4 and PS4 Pro, and it’s unclear at this time if the game will be heading to PC like the first Spider-Man.

For more, here’s our list of the best PS5 games you can play in 2023, as well as every upcoming game releasing this year if you’re having trouble keeping track.

GoDaddy is making it easier to migrate your website from WordPress

Free do-it-yourself migration tool – or paid, managed version – makes moving your hosted WordPress site to GoDaddy easier.

Web hosting giant GoDaddy has announced a new tool designed to make transferring from other WordPress hosting providers a breeze as it looks to occupy more of the web market.

The new migration tool is available to users with Web Hosting, Web Hosting Plus, and Managed WordPress Hosting products, and promises to make transferring from third-party hosting providers both quicker and cheaper.

It can also be used for transferring sites between different GoDaddy accounts which can be a useful feature for companies looking to amalgamate multiple accounts or for personal users looking to integrate with business products as their company grows.

GoDaddy announces new WordPress transferring tool

Speaking of the news in a press release, GoDaddy proudly claimed 99.9% guaranteed service uptime and 24/7 support.

GoDaddy’s WordPress site migration tool gives customers the power to move their WordPress site from another hosting platform to GoDaddy’s “in just a few clicks,” but for those lacking in the technical know-how, a paid migration service is also available which takes the pressure of users having to do all the hard work.

According to the company’s website, it offers 24/7 monitoring to spot suspicious activity in an effort to prevent DDoS attacks and will notify users when they’re close to reaching their resource limits so they can upgrade things like CPU, memory, entry processes, and I/O, to help them better manage costs.

Managed WordPress Basic plans currently start at $107.88 plus taxes for a one-year contract and come with 5GB of SSD storage for one website. The plan includes a free domain, daily backups, malware removal, and an AI creation tool.

With the launch of the new migration assistant, GoDaddy says it plans to “empower entrepreneurs and small business owners” by giving them access to the right tools, insights, and resources.

Passkeys: all the news and updates around passwordless sign-on

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge

Follow along as websites, apps, and services adopt passkeys in preparation for a passwordless future. The need to remember lengthy, complicated passwords to sign into your accounts could soon be a thing of the past thanks to passkeys: a new login technology that replaces passwords with authentication mechanisms built into your own devices. That means you can use Face ID on your iPhone, Windows Hello on your PC, or the fingerprint sensor on your Android phone to authorize access to your websites, apps, and services — providing they support passkey sign-on.
Passkeys are built on WebAuthn (or Web Authentication) tech and stored directly on your device. They are supported by companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft because they’re more secure than passwords or PINs which can be stolen. Password managers can help backup and sync passkeys across all your devices.
It’s expected that passkeys will eventually replace passwords entirely, though it’s going to take some time. Here you can follow all the updates and developments — including which companies have rolled out support in preparation for a passwordless future.

Max Payne remakes are going to be a huge undertaking, according to Remedy

The original voice actor for Max Payne, Sam Lake, says that the remakes are a ‘significant undertaking’.

Remedy, the original developers for Max Payne, entered an agreement with Rockstar Games to help bring its remakes alive. However, it’s not as simple as you may think. 

Remedy first announced the remakes back in April 2022, promising ‘AAA-game production’. While we’re still unsure of any specific release date, we do know that this third-person shooter will be available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. 

In an interview with Remedy’s creative director, Sam Lake, it was revealed that the work behind the scenes to ensure the remakes of Max Payne and Max Payne 2 see the light of day is immense (via VCG). No one doubts that this project is going to be a large one; it’s been 20 years since we last saw Max Payne 2 release for PC on October 14, 2003. 

“It is a significant undertaking in the sense that even if they are old games, just thinking about bringing them up to modern standards and combining them into one, you can see that it’s a big, big project,” Lake said. 

On top of remaking Max Payne, Remedy is also in the process of developing the much-anticipated survival horror game Alan Wake 2. However, we’re much closer to the release date of this terrifying title, as it’s set to become available for fans to play on October 27, 2023. 

Both of these titles will use Remedy’s Northlight game engine, the same one that was also used for Quantum Break and Control. We can’t wait to see what these new games have in store for us and how they’ll look after two massive gaps in production. Hopefully, all the planning and struggling for the better part of a couple of decades will all be worth it for Remedy. 

If you’re a fan of thrilling shooters and fantastic scares, then be sure to check out these best horror games and the most overlooked PC shooters that shouldn’t be ignored.
