**Apple Watch X will upset a lot of people, but change is inevitable [Poll]**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/Apple-Watch-X.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500
Every 5 to 10 years, Apple makes a decision it knows will upset a lot of people, and generates a lot of negative PR – but the company also knows that the fuss generally dies down, and everyone then forgets all about it. It looks like the Apple Watch X is set to be the next example.
Mark Gurman reported over the weekend that while this year’s Apple Watch (https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-watch/) upgrade will be the usual modest annual bump, we can expect a major redesign in 2024 or 2025 (https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/13/gurman-major-apple-watch-x-redesign-coming-next-year/) – with the name suggesting as big an update as from the iPhone 8 to iPhone X …

macOS has a number of built-in tools to detect Mac malware (https://9to5mac.com/guides/malware/), with Background Task Manager added to the defenses last year. However, a security (https://9to5mac.com/guides/security/) researcher says that this can be trivially bypassed, and that Apple (https://9to5mac.com/guides/aapl/) failed to act on his recommendations to fix it.
Patrick Wardle presented his findings at the Defcon hacker conference, making the unusual decision to do so without advising Apple ahead of time …

**Apple is now working on two Lionel Messi documentary series**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/mls-season-pass-lionel-messi.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
The prominence of MLS Season Pass (https://tinyurl.com/mlsappletv) is rising leaps and bounds with the arrival of soccer legend Lionel Messi to the league. Apple is capitalizing on the hype with multiple documentary series in development for its streaming service Apple TV+ (https://tinyurl.com/getappletvplus).
The first of the projects was announced in June (https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2023/06/apple-tv-scores-with-documentary-series-featuring-legendary-football-champion-lionel-messi-and-his-fifa-world-cup-career-culminating-in-his-dramatic-qatar-2022-win/), which will follow Messi’s World Cup career culminating in his win at Qatar last year. Separately, Bloomberg is now reporting (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-08-13/a-lionel-messi-docuseries-is-coming-to-apple?sref=W6GJF3MS) a second documentary is in the works, specifically targeting his MLS run.

**Apple Watch for kids: Schooltime mode, no iPhone required**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/10/how-to-use-apple-watch-schooltime.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600
Apple Watch for kids is something parents are embracing more and more. The _New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/01/technology/apple-watch-children-kids.html)_ ran a story last year about Apple Watch adoption among children as young as five. Parents are finding the Apple Watch more appropriate for kids wanting smartphones.
The Apple Watch gives kids a way to stay in touch with parents, share location, and build responsibility without the full cost and complexity of a smartphone. As kids going back to school, it may be time to consider adding more connectivity without the commitment of a smartphone.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/Mac-and-iPad-imports.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500

This is likely to be a temporary pause until a license is issued, but there’s no way to know how long this may take._
A new policy announced today means that Macs (https://9to5mac.com/guides/mac/) and iPad (https://9to5mac.com/guides/ipad/) imports to India (https://9to5mac.com/guides/india/) will require a license. The policy takes “immediate effect.”
The move appears to be part of the country’s Made in India strategy, which uses a carrot-and-stick approach to encourage brands to set up local manufacturing plants for their products …

Cortana is Microsoft’s virtual assistant, which was introduced in 2014 back when Windows Phone was still a thing. Similar to Siri, Cortana lets users perform a number of tasks using voice commands. But it seems Microsoft is giving up on its old virtual assistant, as the latest Windows 11 update kills the Cortana app. The reason? The company will now bet on AI instead.

**AirPods Max 2 needs to be a major update – which features do you want? [Poll]**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/AirPods-Max-2.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500
There’s so far been very little information on any Apple plans to launch an AirPods Max (https://9to5mac.com/guides/airpods-max/) 2 – a new generation of its most expensive headphones – but it’s clear that a major update is needed.
Ming-Chi Kuo’s report (https://9to5mac.com/2023/01/11/new-airpods-max-airpods-lite-release/) back in January said nothing more than that an “updated version” is planned, and _Bloomberg_‘s Mark Gurman (https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/28/bloomberg-apple-readying-new-third-gen-airpods-fitness-tracking-airpods-pro-in-2022/) said only that new colors might be in the works.

**Are cheaper Apple Pencil alternatives worth it? [Video]**
https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/apple-pencils.webp?w=1600
The Apple Pencil 2 is coming up on five years since it was released alongside the redesigned 2018 iPad Pro. It is still the best version of a digital pencil that Apple sells. Since its release, it has remained relatively unchanged. It is physically identical to when it came out, it has received two tiny software updates since iPadOS 13, and Apple still sells it for $119 ($10 less than the original $129 price). This has allowed 3rd party competition to get very good and catch up to the functionality of the Apple Pencil at a fraction of the cost. So that begs the question, are cheaper Apple Pencil alternatives worth it?

Apple today announced that its high-interest savings account for Apple Card has topped over $10 billion in deposits. Early indicators suggested (https://9to5mac.com/2023/05/01/apple-card-savings-account-deposits/) that the savings account was a hit, and today Apple has given us firm official numbers to back that up.
