A minor incremental update was released earlier today for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch devices that run iOS 17 or WatchOS 10. The new update weighs in at around 50MB and includes non specific bug fixes and optimizations.

The new features are far too long to list, so we are going to place a link to the change list right here. The new update, depending on your device, will weigh in at 3.1-3.4GB in size. Hopefully you have a lot of free space.

Mac owners can expect their next MacOS release later this month.

Playstation State of Play – September 14th, 2022 September 14, 2023

Not to be outdone by Nintendo, Sony has also chosen to broadcast an all-new State of Play, where they’ll be including previews and announcements for the PlayStation hardware!

The PS5 has some incredible games (and major exclusives) coming for it this season, and I can’t wait to see what Sony has in store for us! I’m hopeful for a preview of Spider-Man 2. Check it out:

All games previewed will be coming to the PS5 and PSVR2.

Nintendo Direct – September 2023 September 14, 2023

Apple Announces iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9 Devices September 13, 2023

Yesterday, Apple released their first preview of the upcoming personal devices that will be coming out later this month. This specific presentation focused on the new hardware features of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Some of the rumors were right, the new iPhone 15 line will support native USB-C charging and data transfer, but will also still support MagSafe chargers and accessories. The most interesting feature that personally interested me was the announcement the iPhone 15 Pro’s camera array will also be able to take 3D video that can be played back on the upcoming Apple Vision Pro.

The new devices will be in stores to purchase by the end of the month.

1TB Black Xbox Series S Released September 13, 2023

It has no optical disc drive, but it can play digital copies of any Xbox One or Xbox Series games at 1080p, it is the Xbox Series S. When it first launched back in 2020, the Series S had an internal storage capacity of 512GB. Today, Microsoft has officially announced that they have released an all-new Series S model in BLACK. The internal storage capacity is 1TB and the price is $349US!

This is very big news, but it does not herald any price drop or discontinuation for existing Xbox Series S or Series X consoles. Those will remain on the market at their current prices. Given the fact that it includes no disc drive, the Series S should have come with a 1TB storage capacity as standard when it launched back in 2020.

Insert Coin Documentary Free On YouTube September 12, 2023

After I purchased Arcade1Up’s Terminator 2 home arcade, I noticed the company had included a “making of” video inside the machine. It turns out that footage was taken from the documentary Insert Coin, a feature-length documentary about the history of some incredible arcade companies. It featured interviews with some of the original developers as well as fans, and absolutely covered the controversies of the day!

If you are a fan of 90s arcade games, and have access to YouTube, you should give it a watch! There’s no way to know just how long a movie will be watchable on YouTube, so you should check it out as soon as you can!
