Right now is probably the worst time to buy an iPhone if you're looking to upgrade your current phone. Instead wait a couple more weeks because Apple's new line of iPhone 16s will be announced on Monday. Not only will you have more iPhones to choose from, but you could also score a previous model at a lower price. The Apple event will be held September 9 at 1PM ET (10AM PT) at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino. You can livestream Apple's It's Glowtime event on YouTube (which we’ve embedded above for your convenience), as well as on Apple’s site.

Apple Event 2024: What we expect at the iPhone 16 launch event on Monday, September 9

Two days from now, Apple will kick off its It's Glowtime event (you can watch it here) where it'll announce the new iPhone 16 lineup. Those phones will have iOS 18 already installed, so you won't have to upgrade at purchase — here's when the iPhone 16 models are expected to hit stores. However, if you're not getting one of the new iPhones, you may find that your older phone's operating system isn't supported by Apple.

Big changes are coming to Florida’s home improvement scene as LL Flooring, the company once known as Lumber Liquidators, is shutting down five of its stores across the state.

YouTube has introduced additional safeguards for teens on its website, which includes limiting the content they see that could lead them to form negative beliefs about themselves. As the Google-owned video sharing platform explains, teenagers are more likely to be critical of themselves if they see repeated messages about ideal social standards. In response, YouTube is now limiting repeated recommendations of videos featuring specific fitness levels or body weights, as well as those that display "social aggression in the form of non-contact fights and intimidation" for European users. As The Guardian notes, this rule is already being enforced in the US.

Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, has issued a recall for Ram 1500 pickup trucks from 2019 and 2021-2024 due to a software problem in the anti-lock brake system. The bug could cause the anti-lock brake system to “disable the electronic stability control system,” which in turn can increase the risk of a crash, according to a notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Health tech company Abbott has been for regular consumers. Now, we can get our hands on one. The company just released the Lingo continuous glucose monitor. This is an over-the-counter device, so you can just order it without prior approval. However, it’s not intended for diabetics, as it isn't designed for insulin pumps or serious medical alerts. Rather, it’s for curious people who want to keep an eye on their glucose levels.

Refined by New York chemist Robert Chesebrough almost 150 years ago, petroleum jelly is still widely used today in topical applications. Even with the myths that abound online about it being carcinogenic, it has withstood the test of time.

Beware: The most addictive game of 2024 is coming to a device that’s always within reach. Balatro, a clever combination of poker, deck-building and roguelikes, will arrive on iOS — as a standalone purchase and Apple Arcade — and Android later this month.

It's a bit of a slow week for tech deals, if we're honest, as many of the better offers we're seeing this Friday are leftovers from last week's Labor Day sales. Still, there are a few discounts worth checking out: A four-pack of Apple's diminutive AirTag trackers are $24 off Apple's list price, for instance, while Keychron's C3 Pro, our favorite mechanical keyboard for those on a budget, is still at an all-time low of $25. Other picks from our guides to the best microSD cards and affordable wireless earbuds are on sale as well, as is Sonos' bag-friendly Roam 2 speaker and Elgato's new Stream Deck Neo control panel.
