Tim Cook reveals new details about the Apple Watch
Apple CEO Tim Cook was recently interviewed by Charlie Rose and thanks to that interview we managed to learn a bit more about the upcoming Apple Watch. The interview touched on many more topics, but the Apple Watch is of particular interest to many seeing as how this is the company’s first smartwatch. Tim Cook revealed that Apple spent three years working on it and this will be the “most personal device” ever created by the company. The CEO then went on to say that the Apple Watch is more than a regular timepiece as it comes equipped with features that allow users to communicate and connect in a brand new way.
The device also offers a health and fitness component that will basically act like your very own personal trainer. “You can set goals and it will reward you for achieving certain things,” Cook says. “You can choose [for it] to interact with your doctor. You can choose to combine it with other apps on the phone and get a full view of your health and so it’s a whole new area for Apple.” Moreover, Apple opened the smartwatch to developers so that they can create additional software for it. Cook says that the initial work looks very promising and that the Apple Watch will have a lot of apps.
The company focused on health and fitness, but you can use the device for many other things such as reading messages or listening to music, if you also have a Bluetooth headset. However, there is a little catch to the Apple Watch, which may disappoint some potential customers. Tim Cook says that the smartwatch was developed to work together with an iPhone and it will not work with any other smartphone. The Apple Watch will launch in early 2015 for the price of $350.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
