Apple Watch 9 database leak suggests it'll launch alongside the iPhone 15

If you're thinking about picking up one of the best smartwatches on the market, you might want to hold off for a few weeks: a filing for a device that is almost certainly the Apple Watch 9 has appeared in a Bluetooth database, suggesting it's launching soon.

The database filing, picked up by MacRumors, doesn't mention the Apple Watch 9 by name, and nor does it tell us much about the design or specs of the wearable – except that it's going to come with Bluetooth support, as you would expect.

However, it does seem to show that Apple is on course for its usual September unveiling for its smartwatch. Remember that the Apple Watch 8 was first announced by Apple on September 7, 2022, as part of the iPhone 14 launch event.

It looks as though something similar is going to happen this year as well, with the Apple Watch 9 and the iPhone 15. The rumor is that we might even get a new iPad mini at the same time, making it a very busy event for new Apple products.

The rumors so far

While this particular link doesn't reveal too much about Apple's next smartwatch, there has been a fairly steady flow of leaks and rumors about the device. One of the main upgrades we're expecting is a new processor, which should also mean better battery life.

It would be the first major chipset upgrade since the Apple Watch 6, so we're expecting a significant improvement in the responsiveness of the interface and the speed with which the Apple Watch 9 can power through tasks and switch between apps.

Apparently the device is going to be available in pink as well as the usual colors, while a new strap has also been rumored. However, in terms of major design changes, we may have to wait for the Apple Watch X scheduled to appear next year.

It sounds as though the chipset upgrade is going to be coming to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as well, so it's set to be a big year for Apple wearables. Don't forget that watchOS 10 will be arriving at the same time, bringing with it a selection of new features too.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
