There’s a new Apple research paper making the rounds, and if you’ve seen the reactions, you’d think it just toppled the entire LLM industry. That is far from true, although it might be the best attempt to bring to the mainstream a discussion that the ML community has been having for ages. Here is why this paper matters.

One of the new features expected for iOS 19 (which we expect now to be named iOS 26) is a new Apple Games app. The Games app will curate games from the App Store and Apple Arcade, as well as blend in some social features like achievements and friends leaderboards from Game Center.

Tomorrow, at 10 AM Pacific Time, Apple will unveil the next-generation versions of its operating systems, including iOS 19 (now expected to be named iOS 26) for iPhone. The flagship change for the new iPhone software will be a dramatic visual redesign, which the company will also roll out across all of its other operating systems for a consistent new look on every Apple device.

I have now tried four different smart rings from four different brands (reviews soon), and the new Renpho Lynx smart ring has been able to separate itself from the pack, practically, among other things.

After spending a few weeks with the Lynx smart ring, here is everything you need to know and why you should consider it.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been over seven years since I first got my hands on CalDigit’s TS3 Plus dock, and during its heyday, I labeled it as the best dock for Mac users. Since then, CalDigit released the TS3’s successor, appropriately called the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock, which offered a refined take on its predecessor.

Now, with the advent of Thunderbolt 5 adoption for the latest M4 Pro Macs and higher, CalDigit is back with an even more powerful version of its TS-series dock – the CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 5 Plus, or TS5 Plus for short. Yes, CalDigit has retuned to its “plus” nomenclature of the past, as it plans to offer a less powerful 15-port version – simply dubbed CalDigit TS5 – in the future.

The TS5 Plus, of course, includes support for Thunderbolt 5, but is there any other reason why prospective buyers should consider it over the already great TS4? Perhaps! Watch my hands-on video review for a closer look, and be sure to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more Mac peripheral coverage.
