Is Apple really done with announcing new gear for the rest of the year? After a (can we say… kind of underwhelming?) brief “California Streaming” event back in mid-September, it looked like only iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch fans were the only ones treated to any concrete updates. The last of those updates are coming into fruition as we head into the fall, with details finally dropping on the Apple Watch Series 7’s actual release date (more info on that down below) on top of the already-released iPhone 13 and redesigned iPad Mini. Is there more in the tank for Apple in the near future? Rumors are circulating that we might be building towards a surprise Mac-related event in the next few weeks, but only time will tell. Not to toot our own horn, but if you’d like to stay on top of any new Apple-related rumors and product releases, the best thing you can do is read our tech section… and, of course, read Today in Gear.

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news. Want your question featured in our weekly “Ask an Expert” column? Send your most pressing product questions to [email protected].

When we’re talking about “DLC coating” in relation to Wüsthof’s new “Performer” knife collection, we’re not talking about video games or “downloadable content.” In this case, a “diamond-like carbon” coating makes Wüsthof’s premiere blades — ranging from a Santoku to various Chef’s Knives — nonstick and virtually frictionless. It’s space-age technology, right in your kitchen.
