If you were hoping for three new Apple Watches today, you might be disappointed. However, Apple did reveal the largest Apple Watch display every on the Series 10 wearable. The device is also thinner, delivering the bigger and slimmer update the company loves to give new devices. It's lighter too, so all three of the design changes should make the wearable more comfy to... wear. And of course, the new display will be a key selling point for this updated model.

With Intel's Lunar Lake chips now unveiled and driving hard for handheld consideration, the world is wondering: When is the Ryzen Z2 coming? At IFA 2024, AMD told PCWorld's Adam Patrick Murray to expect the chip to arrive sooner than later.
"We've got our Z1 Extreme and Z1 in the market today, right?" Matt Unangst, AMD's senior director of product management, told PCWorld. "Z2 is in the works. We're working with a number of partners across the OEM ecosystem on that, and it will be coming to market, probably in the early part of 2025."
You can watch Adam, our resident handheld nerd, dive deeper into the details in the video above, including details about whether or not the Ryzen Z2 will target more custom solutions like the Steam Deck or be a more "off the shelf" kind of thing like the Z1. Unangst also told PCWorld that AMD hopes to partner with more companies, including smaller ones, to drive Z2 adoption in the gaming market.
