Apple Watch 11 — here's the 5 biggest rumored upgrades
We only have a month left to go until Apple's expected to launch the Apple Watch Series 11 at its September event. Thanks to plenty of Apple Watch Series 11 leaks, we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the next premium Apple timepiece. While the watch's design itself isn't expected to change much, the recently announced watchOS 26 promises to overhaul its look and feel as well as introduce several new features. Don't expect any new sensors, as Apple says its long-awaited non-invasive blood glucose monitoring is still "many years away." Though we can be sure it'll show off some handy new features powered by Apple Intelligence. We'll have to see whether that'll be enough for Apple's lineup to make the cut for our best smartwatches ranking. With the clock winding down before its big reveal, we're rounding up all the biggest Apple Watch Series 11 upgrades that have been rumored so far. Just because the Apple Watch Series 11 isn't getting a design overhaul doesn't mean there aren't a few hardware upgrades in store. Apple upgrades its processor with every smartwatch release, so we expect to see an updated S11 chip, which could improve performance and battery life. Apple's latest smartwatches could get a serious new connectivity improvement too. The Apple Watch Series 11 lineup is rumored to pack new modems from MediaTek with 5G RedCap support, which could finally let Apple's wearables ditch LTE connectivity for 5G. Satellite connectivity could be coming for the rugged Watch Ultra 3 as well, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. As we said, easily the biggest upgrade coming to the Apple Watch Series 11 is the new watchOS 26. The latest software adds plenty of new features to play with, like Wrist Flick gesture controls, which make dismissing notifications and alerts as easy as, well, a flick of the wrist. It seems so simple and intuitive, I'm surprised it took Apple over 10 years to implement it. Then there's the Workout Buddy, which is sure to prove popular. Apple's new personalized exercise coach helps you make the most of your workouts by providing tips, analysis, and motivation. It even sounds like a personal trainer is right there with you, cheering you on, because it uses an AI model trained on voice data from real Apple Fitness Plus trainers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. WatchOS 26 also brings a long-requested feature to Apple smartwatches: Notes app support. All of your existing notes automatically sync to the app for easy viewing, but unfortunately, "viewing" is all you can do. You still won't be able to edit notes with your Apple Watch, though you can start a new one using the screen's tiny keyboard or audio dictation. Those curious can download the watchOS 26 beta right now for a test run. While you're at it, be sure to check out our full round-up of watchOS 26 features we can't wait to try. At long last, Apple seems to be developing a sleep score feature for Apple Watch. Code found in iOS 26 suggests the Watch Series 11 could algorithmically monitor and rank the user's time spent and quality of sleep. It's a feature already found on many of the best smartwatches, but it'll be interesting to see Apple's spin on it. Especially given that many of Apple's existing health features, such as sleep apnea detection, are either backed by clinical research or cleared by the FDA. It's possible Apple's sleep score will take multiple health metrics into account, similar to what we saw with the Vitals option introduced with watchOS 11. The Watch Ultra 3 is said to be Apple's first wearable to support blood pressure monitoring. While it's not the first smartwatch on the market to do so (Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3 can also track your blood pressure), Apple's implementing this new feature in a pretty ingenious way. Rather than providing an exact figure on diastolic or systolic measurements like you get with an on-the-arm cuff, this will work more like the sleep apnea detector to let the wearer know when their blood pressure starts creeping up. Once the user is notified about hypertension, the watch can give that information to a medical professional for additional testing. Just like other Apple Watch features that provide an early warning system for potential health concerns. Finally, the Watch Series 11 is set to bring iOS 26's biggest (and most divisive) selling point to Apple's line of wearables: liquid glass. Like the name would suggest, the liquid glass interface gives apps a translucent finish devoid of color, letting on-screen elements behind it bleed through as if seen through glass. You can already test out how liquid glass looks with the watchOS 26 beta. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Amazon is wreaking havoc on the ad market, and The Trade Desk may be its latest victim
The Trade Desk's shares cratered nearly 40% on Friday, its worst decline on record, and analysts say competition from Amazon may be to blame. The Trade Desk, which helps companies target people across the web with ads, beat expectations in its earnings — but that wasn't enough to quell Wall Street's concerns. In commentary, analysts also cited the departure of the adtech company's CFO, but largely focused on the Amazon factor in explaining the stock drop. The Trade Desk CEO Jeff Green responded to analysts' questions, saying his company would continue to serve an important role because it's a neutral seller of advertising, unlike Amazon, which also sells its own ads on Prime Video. He also argued The Trade Desk only competes with a small part of Amazon and suggested Amazon might one day allow companies like his own to sell ads on Prime Video. "Amazon is not a competitor, and Google really isn't much of a competitor anymore either," Green said on the company's earnings call. "We're trying to buy the open internet, leveraging technology that values media objectively. We don't have any media. And we don't grade our own homework." Analysts were skeptical of Green's optimistic stance, pointing to an increasingly competitive connected TV ad landscape. Amazon, Netflix, and Disney+ have all entered the market in recent years. Amazon's ad business, in particular, is on pace to grow fast with an upcoming deal to let advertisers buy ads on Roku devices through Amazon, and the NBA adding to Amazon's live sports programming on Prime Video. Meanwhile, The Trade Desk is limited in its growth potential because it depends on its ability to access the ad inventory of other players like Netflix. LightShed analysts had the harshest words, writing that "Green is either in a serious state of denial, or he is living in an alternate reality." "The Amazon shadow over this stock is now front and center ... and harder to deny," MoffettNathanson's Michael Nathanson said, cutting his rating to sell from neutral. Others were more sanguine. Evercore maintained an outperform rating, citing The Trade Desk's growing partnerships to sell Netflix, Roku, and Spotify advertising, and its expansion in retail media and international markets. Amazon has become an ad titan The bull case for Amazon's ad business has been gaining steam since the company barrelled into the TV ad market a year ago by making ads the default on Prime Video. Gripes about the ad rates notwithstanding, advertisers like Amazon's massive scale, ability to target people based on their shopping preferences, and growing live sports offering on Prime Video. Ad industry insiders recently told Business Insider that Amazon's entrance into TV advertising had made it harder for all but the top TV players, like Disney and Comcast's NBCUniversal, to compete. A Morgan Stanley report in July said Amazon's Prime Video was on pace to dominate the advertising market on US-based smart TVs, knocking YouTube off its perch as the market leader in 2027. Later that month, Amazon reported its second-quarter earnings, showing its overall ads business growing 22% to $15.7 billion. That beat analyst expectations. Amazon has also been striking deals with rival streamers like HBO Max and Apple TV+ to make itself the default destination for TV watching. All this could be OK for rivals if the pie were ever-increasing. But the bigger worry is that CTV advertising won't be the growth engine it once was — leading media companies to fight for pieces of a smaller pie. Nathanson pointed to slowing growth in recent quarters and intensifying competition from Amazon and Google. He said he saw "a broader deceleration" in the US CTV ad market that should concern Trade Desk bulls.

You'll get even more value out of the Amazon Fire Max 11 with this $90 discount
While there are tablet deals featuring flagship models, you can also enjoy savings that will make budget-friendly devices even more affordable. Here's a great example from Best Buy — a $90 discount on the 64GB version of the ad-supported Amazon Fire Max 11 that lowers its price from $230 to just $140. We're not sure how much longer stocks will last, so if you want to take advantage of this offer, you should push through with your purchase as soon as possible. Why you should buy the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet The Amazon Fire Max 11 is featured in our list of the best tablets as our pick for the best value Android tablet — a description that's even more appropriate now with the savings from Best Buy. It comes with an 11-inch touchscreen with 2000 x 1200 resolution, which is a great display for watching streaming shows and playing mobile games, and a battery that can last up to 14 hours on a single charge. The built-in storage of 64GB is pretty limited, but the good news is that you can insert a microSD for additional space of up to 1TB. With its MediaTek MT8188 octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, and optional accessories like its keyboard case and stylus, you can also use the Amazon Fire Max 11 as a productivity device. It's not going to challenge the performance of the best laptops, but it will be more than enough for basic tasks like typing documents and doing some online research. It's a secure tablet though as it's protected by a fingerprint sensor, and it's durable with an aluminum exterior and strengthened alumino-silicate glass. The Amazon Fire Max 11 is on sale from an unlikely source — Best Buy just slashed the price of its 64GB, ad-supported version to a more affordable $140 from $230 originally. There's a chance that the tablet is back to its regular price by tomorrow though, so if it's possible, you're going to have to finalize your transaction for the device today. Hurry, as it would be a shame to miss out on savings of $90 when buying the Amazon Fire Max 11.
