| September 13, 2022—Day of the Programmer! We can't pretend programmers don't do a lot to make our devices work, so spare a thought or two for them today, would you? Heck, maybe even buy them lunch (or a better desk chair). | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 266 articles, 5 podcasts, 13 press releases, 391 tweets, and 15 YouTube videos | | | 1. iOS 16 Is Here to Improve Your iPhone in a Number of Ways | | The wait is over—iOS 16 is finally available for all compatible iOS devices (iPhone 8 or newer). Like most significant version jumps, this update offers new features for your iPhone, including new lock screen customization options, live text translations, and editing text messages. Finally! | | 2. Google Embraces iOS 16 With Planned Lock Screen Widget Support | | Google is getting ready for iOS 16 with plans to incorporate custom lock screen widgets into several of its existing apps. It won't just be for Google searches, either. Maps, Drive, Gmail, and Chrome get to join in on the fun, too. Expect to see these additions roll out, you guessed it, "in the coming weeks." | | 3. Roku's Two New Devices Could Give Your Streaming a Boost | | The Roku Express and Wireless Bass are on the way. The former is touted as Roku's "most affordable" way to dip into media streaming, while the latter is aimed at those who already have their setup situated, but want something more. You can pre-order them now for $29.99 and $129.99, respectively. | | | Most Roku users should have no problem spending as little as possible in its app store. Sure, streaming apps like Prime Video may require a rental fee sometimes, but most apps shouldn't come with a price tag. We can't remember the last app we had to pay for before installing it. | | | "Custom keyboards for everyone!" —Bob Schulties, Senior Editor | | | You still have time to get your iPhone 14 Pro pre-order in and, hopefully, get it when it launches later this week. With bigger and better cameras, the new Dynamic Island feature, A16 chip, and an always-on display, it's oh-so tempting, right? Unless you just bought a new phone, then, uh, never mind. | | | Space has plenty of, um... space | | Generating solar power at night? Madness... unless you're Ben Nowack, who wants to put mirrors in space to redirect sunlight to our ground-based solar panels at night. We're into it, and really, it's not the wildest idea we've heard. | | |
