Apple has a thing for 10th anniversaries: The iPhone X made its debut a decade after the first iPhone arrived. The rumor mill says Apple Watch\u2019s 10th birthday justifies a similarly dramatic reworking of its original template<\/a>. Reports suggest 2025\u2019s Apple Watch X will ditch the slide-in lugs in favor of magnetic band attachments. Doing so gives Apple more room to make the case bigger, and with it a bigger display and battery, but make the overall package thinner.<\/p>\n

We might also see a bigger, brighter and more efficient microLED screen replacing the existing OLED display. And the X might also add an optical blood pressure sensor to its suite of health-tracking features. (It\u2019s worth saying that optical blood pressure sensing is still a fairly novel technology outside of clinical settings and some niche wearables.)<\/p>\n

With so many features coming to Watch X, the Watch 9 \u2013 which we\u2019re expecting to see arrive this fall \u2013 might be a skip. Rumors suggest we could see a faster processor and different case colors, but otherwise it\u2019s probably worth waiting for whatever\u2019s coming next.<\/p>\n

Netflix is testing if its streaming infrastructure can deliver games to smart TVs<\/a> as well as other devices. It\u2019s an extension of its nascent games project that, so far, is only on iOS and Android apps. The beta is running in the UK and Canada on select platforms, where users can play Oxenfree<\/em> and Molehew\u2019s Mining Adventure<\/em>. Could this be the start of Netflix\u2019s emergence as the cloud gaming provider Stadia could, and should, have been?<\/p>\n

Xiaomi has announced the Mix Fold 3<\/a>, its latest folding flagship that gains wireless charging and a 5x periscope zoom lens over its predecessor. The China-only handset may not be as thin and light as, say, Honor\u2019s Magic V2, but Richard Lai seems pleased with the improvements on show. Especially as Xiaomi has taken a leaf out of Samsung\u2019s book to make hover mode enough of a feature that you should be able to get the best out of the Fold 3\u2019s many cameras.<\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage<\/em> will now arrive on October 5, a week earlier than its planned release date<\/a>. It\u2019ll help space out a fall schedule full of blockbuster open world titles, including Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2<\/em>, which arrives October 20. It\u2019s rare for a game to be early, rather than forever delayed, so let\u2019s give Ubisoft some credit for this welcome blast of punctuality.<\/p>\n

It may have started out as an optional extra, but now Ford\u2019s BlueCruise hands-free driving will be on all new supported vehicles<\/a>. Would-be buyers can activate the tools at purchase or as an optional subscription at some point down the road. It\u2019ll cost $75 a month, $800 for a year, or $2,100 if you buy three years\u2019 worth in a single bundle, with Ford saying \u2013 rather terrifyingly \u2013 drivers will spend a lot more time with their hands off<\/em> the wheel.<\/p>\n
