Apple redesigned the Workout app in watchOS 26, but not everyone has loved the new Apple Watch exercise tracking experience. It turns out Apple has been listening, because watchOS 26.4 addresses a major complaint about the new design.

I’ve been using Nomad’s Apple Watch bands for years, and I recommend them to anyone with an Apple Watch. They offer a great mix of premium materials, thoughtful design, and durability. That is true of all of their Apple Watch Band categories, from their leather bands to their titanium bands to their best-selling Sports bands. But now, Nomad is introducing a new Apple Watch Band line called the Tempo Band, built with the athlete in mind. This is what you need to know.

Apple is no longer allowed to advertise the Apple Watch as carbon neutral, a German court ruled following a protest from environmentalists about Apple’s promoted claims.

The Frankfurt court found the company misled consumers for describing the Apple Watch as a CO2-neutral product. Apple first unveiled its first carbon neutral products starting with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in September 2023.

One feature that has been available for a number of years on Android has long been expected to come to iPhone too: reverse wireless charging. A leaker yesterday suggested that it’s coming to the two iPhone 17 Pro models.

If true, this would be good news for three reasons, but there is reason to suggest that may not be possible – due to MagSafe …
