watchOS 26 update removes five faces from Apple Watch

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-14 05:19:50

Apple Watch has nearly 60 faces, and watchOS 26 optimizes way more than before for Apple Watch Series 10. It’s not all good news with watchOS 26, however, as Apple continues to discontinue watch faces through software updates. Last year, Apple cut four watch faces with the watchOS 11 software update. The enhanced widgets view unsurprisingly replaced the Siri watch face, but Apple also removed analog Chronograph, Explorer, and Numerals watch faces. Since then, Apple has introduced Flux, Reflect

iOS 26 will bridge the gap with digital IDs in Apple Wallet thanks to this new addition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-14 11:12:39

Yesterday at WWDC25, Apple announced a new addition to the Wallet app that’ll certainly bridge the gap when it comes to digital ID adoption in the United States: support for passports. Apple announced Drivers Licenses and IDs in Apple Wallet back with iOS 15 in 2021, but since then, it’s only rolled out to a handful of US states. Apple currently supports 9 US states plus Puerto Rico, and will soon add 3 more. Still, 12 is far short of all 50 US states. Soon, however, Apple will introduce suppo

When Apple’s AI summaries for notifications work, they can be pretty useful. However, with Apple Intelligence limited to select devices, most iPhone users still can’t take advantage of it. Now, WhatsApp is testing its own in-app, AI-powered feature that summarizes unread messages in chats, groups, and channels. Here’s how it works.

The best Father's Day gifts and gadgets for every dad in 2025

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-14 00:00:37

Look, if your dad is anything like me, then they’re probably not a massive gamer, or might just play the odd title. I’m told that there’s a whole genre of Dad Games out there that apparently appeal to the fathers in our lives, which are all about following some sort of process. It’s likely then that they won’t have paid much attention to The Legend of Zelda series, which feels as un-Dad a game as you could imagine. Which is why I’m here to say that, until the start of this year, I felt the same,
