| Apple's iOS 16, macOS Ventura and watchOS 9 public betas are ready to download - Engadget Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:19 AM PDT We're a couple of months out from Apple officially rolling out the next major versions of its various operating systems. However, you can try out iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, macOS Ventura and tvOS 16 right now. Apple has released a public beta, a few weeks after it offered up the first developer betas. To access them, you'll need to sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program and follow the directions. Bear in mind that there may be some bugs that Apple hasn't detected and resolved. Be sure to back up your data before installing any beta (though backing up regularly is always a good practice). You'll have the option to remove your device from the public beta program and revert it to an older version of its OS. You can get to grips with some of the new features in iOS 16. Among those are a revamped lock screen with more layout and customization options, such as dynamic wallpapers. Notifications and Focus Mode have been revamped too, while you'll be able to keep on top of things like sports scores and transit rides with Live Activities. Face ID will finally work in landscape orientation and you'll no longer need an Apple Watch to use the Fitness app.  Apple Also new are the option to edit missives after you send them in Messages, a way to report spam text messages, a Pay Later function in Wallet and an email scheduling option in the Mail app. There's much more on the way too, including updates for Apple Maps, CarPlay and Family Sharing. An "extreme" security option for high-profile users will be available too. As for iPadOS 16, improved multitasking options will grant you more control over how to resize apps with, for instance, overlapping windows. Some of the features are limited to M1-powered iPads, however. Elsewhere, there's support for external displays, Google Drive-style document collaboration and (later this year) SharePlay features in Game Center. Apple has made multitasking a key focus for macOS Ventura as well. The Stage Manager tool can group windows on the side of your screen and organize them by app. There will be an undo send option in the Mail app, along with the option to share tab groups in Safari and a new security function called passkeys, which will use Face ID and Touch ID for authentication. You'll also be able to use an iPhone as a webcam for your Mac. In watchOS 9, Apple is giving the fitness features a significant upgrade. You'll have access to distance and time intervals for workouts. There will also be a way to view which heart rate zones you're in during workouts and sleep. In addition, Apple is promising improved sleep tracking as well as medication reminders. When it comes to tvOS 16, the updates are light compared with some of the other devices. One key update is the addition of full support for the Matter smart home standard. As seems to be the case on iOS 16, tvOS will support Nintendo's Joy-Con and Switch Pro controllers. Apple is ending support for some older devices with this year's OS updates. To use iOS 16, for instance, you'll need an iPhone 8 or later. Update 7/11 2:32PM ET: Tweaked the subheading and Lockdown Mode details for clarity. All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.

| Dell and Alienware Black Friday in July Sale Starts Now: Best Deals on Gaming PCs - IGN - IGN Posted: 11 Jul 2022 12:45 PM PDT Dell (Alienware) is kicking off its Black Friday in July Sale as its counter to Amazon Prime Day. There are plenty of great deals on Alienware and Dell XPS gaming laptops and desktops, gaming monitors, as well as electronics and accessories like gaming consoles and gaming chairs. There are a couple of coupon codes available that make some of these prices even better. Dell may add more deals throughout the week, and we'll be sure to add them. Dell Black Friday in July Coupon CodesDell Black Friday in July Gaming PC DealsSave on both Alienware Aurora and Dell XPS gaming PCs during the Black Friday in July sale. Most of these configs feature new RTX 30 series GPUs. The only one that doesn't is in here because it's such a good deal: an RTX 2080 SUPER equipped gaming PC for only $1299.99. The 2021-2022 Alienware Aurora R13 and Dell XPS 8950 gaming PCs also feature the new Intel Core i7 Alder Lake CPU, which is a signficant performance upgrade compared to its Intel Core i7 predecessors and an upgrade we highly recommend.       Dell Black Friday in July Gaming Laptop DealsThe new slimmer Alienware x15 and x17 gaming laptops as well as the bread and butter Alienware m15 gaming laptops are both on sale. We've listed out the power consumption rating (TDP) on the GPUs; the same video card can come in several different TDP ratings. Higher TDP rating correlates to better gaming performance, but that also means more heat generated so you often need a thicker chassis and beefier cooling. Ultra-thin laptops like the Alienware x15 and x17 thus benefit from a lower TDP GPU.   Dell Black Friday in July Electronics & AccessoriesDell doesn't just sell computers. Save on Dell gaming monitors, Nintendo Switch console bundles, and even an Alienware (Vertagear) gaming chair during the Black Friday in July sale. Looking for More Amazon Prime Day Deals? |
