There have long been rumors that the forthcoming Apple Watch Series 10 would feature a significant redesign to mark the device's 10-year anniversary — and that it won't. The rumors have also vacillated over whether the new watch, which might be called the Apple Watch Series X would be thicker or thinner than the current model.

A new rumor says that the capacitive Capture button on the forthcoming iPhone 16 range will work regardless of whether cases include an opening for it.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
