Walmart+ Weekend deal: Upgrade to a 50-inch Samsung QLED TV for under $400

Save $151: As of June 3 on Walmart+ Weekend, the 50-inch Samsung Q60A QLED 4K TV is going for $398. That's a nearly 28% price drop from its MSRP of $549.

Fans of Stranger Things and The Boys simply can't wait until Prime Day to snag a new TV.

Instead, they should snag a 50-inch QLED TV for less than $400 during Walmart+ Weekend — one from Samsung at that. It's listed for $549 on Samsung's website, but Walmart has dropped the 50-inch Samsung Q60A QLED 4K TV to $398 for Walmart+ members.

SEE ALSO: All the best deals from Walmart+ Weekend 2022

That's a really affordable doorway into the immersive experience of quantum dot technology. Compared to regular LED, QLED really shows its stuff during colorful scenes, thanks to its LCD panel's extra layer of tiny quantum dot particles. These work together to emit a vibrant range of over a billion colors. 4K picture quality, then, is much more noticeable than it may have been on your older TV.

Plus, we know Stranger Things is no stranger to dark scenes. The more accurate saturation of Samsung Quantum HDR and HDR10+ also helps with contrast, so those shadows are more decipherable.

For gamers, the Q60A offers Auto Low Latency Mode, Motion Xcelerator tech for reduced picture shake, and a selection of 21:9 and 32:9 screen ratios. The TV's double legs are also height-adjustable.

Samsung Aiming to Supply OLED Displays for Both iPads and MacBooks

Samsung is planning to build a new production line in South Korea to make larger OLED displays suitable for tablets and notebooks, with the company ultimately aiming to fulfill orders for future Apple products, according to The Elec. The Elec previously reported that Apple plans to release its first iPad Pro models with OLED displays in 2024 and said that Samsung would produce displays for those models at one of its existing lines. Samsung's future production line would be located at a different factory and be capable of creating OLED displays large enough for notebooks, paving the way for a MacBook Pro with an OLED display, which is rumored to launch in 2025 or later. Apple has been transitioning its iPad and MacBook lines to mini-LED displays over the last year, and OLED would be the next step after that. Unlike mini-LED displays, OLED panels use self-emitting pixels and do not require backlighting, which could improve contrast ratio and contribute to longer battery life on future iPad and MacBook models. Apple already uses OLED displays for its latest iPhones and all Apple Watch models. In the meantime, Apple is rumored to be planning more devices with mini-LED displays, including a new 27-inch monitor that could essentially be a Studio Display Pro.

Is Apple's new 'reality' incoming at WWDC 2022?

Apple fans are going to have to resist the temptation to call in sick and spend a perfect summer Monday at the beach. The annual Worldwide Developers Conference is back and this year’s edition could be a doozy.

CEO Tim Cook and the usual cast of Apple department heads will take to the stage on June 6 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET to talk about all the latest software developments the company has to offer. Figuring out how to watch WWDC 2022 is easy enough, but you can’t really get hyped without knowing what to expect from the show.

Allow me to break it down for you. You can thank me later.

realityOS

Like most years, we can stroll into WWDC knowing full well that Apple is going to show us the next iterations of iOS, iPadOS, and so on. I’ll get to those in a bit, but by far the most exciting rumor surrounding WWDC 2022 is the one thing that’s actually new: realityOS, the operating system powering Apple’s long-rumored mixed-reality headset. 

It’s no secret that Apple wants in on the big AR/VR trend sweeping through the tech world right now (though apparently not in the way Meta is doing it), but a number of recent developments point to an unveiling of sorts at WWDC. Bloomberg reported last month that Apple executives have already tried out the device, though the same report noted that the planned reveal at WWDC might be delayed due to technical issues. 

Tweet may have been deleted

Even if the headset itself isn’t ready for primetime, Apple could still make the software environment for it official at WWDC. The Verge spotted a trademark application for “realityOS” for the week of WWDC, and tech blogger Robert Scoble said WWDC would be the first of three major events related to Apple’s mixed reality plans. Software now, hardware later.

Maybe that would explain why Apple’s WWDC invite included a bunch of 3D character models.

iOS 16

No surprises here. Credit: Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images

Sorry folks, but it’s time to go back to the normal Apple stuff.

Apple showing off iOS 16 at WWDC is roughly as likely as the sun rising in the morning. According to Bloomberg, this year’s iPhone software update will actually make some pretty major changes.

SEE ALSO: Apple is reportedly still hard at work on its first-ever foldable device

Push notifications are allegedly receiving some kind of overhaul, as is the Messages app. The latter will reportedly get some more social media-esque functionality surrounding voice messages, per Bloomberg. However, it sounds like the lock screen will get the biggest makeover of all: Wallpapers with widget functions and an always-on lock screen that could show you the time and date without waking up the phone are reportedly in the works for the upcoming iPhone 14.

The always-on lock screen is yet another feature Android lovers can snicker at Apple for stealing years after their preferred operating system started including it.

iPadOS 16

Tablet users aren’t getting hung out to dry at WWDC 2022. If you’ve ever wanted your iPad to be more like a laptop, this is reportedly your year.

Bloomberg reported that iPadOS 16 will imbue iPads with enhanced multitasking features, such as the ability to resize and rearrange apps if you have two or three open at the same time. The UI will also be updated to make it easier to see which apps are open and switch between them, perhaps not unlike the dock on a Mac computer. 

These would be big changes for the iPad line. Currently it can split-screen two apps while dedicating a little bit of screen space to a third, but it doesn't offer the kinds of window-resizing features Mac users are accustomed to by now. 

watchOS 9

Apple Watch lovers can expect some news, too. Credit: Brent Lewin/Bloomberg via Getty Images

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Apple’s going to show off the next version of its Apple Watch software and Bloomberg has the skinny on what to expect from it.

In his Power On newsletter, reporter Mark Gurman said watchOS 9 will introduce a bevy of new enhancements to the Apple Watch experience. These include limited satellite connectivity for contacting emergency services, improved women’s health tracking in the Health app, and a low-power mode to preserve your Apple Watch’s battery. 

Of course, you can also expect additional workouts, watch faces, and perhaps new sleep-tracking features, too. Anything to make Apple Watch the ultimate health and fitness companion.

macOS 13

Mac is back. Credit: Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images

Apple may be associated mostly with iPhones and Ted Lasso in 2022, but this is still a computing company through and through. With that in mind, Apple is expected to show off the next iteration of macOS, though it doesn’t sound like it’ll be a massive overhaul.

In the same Bloomberg report that outlined the aforementioned iOS 16 features, Gurman said Mac users can expect “some redesigned apps” and a big makeover for the System Preferences menu. The goal there is apparently to make it more similar to the iPhone settings menu, reportedly with individual apps having their own settings pages you can access from one central menu. 

Aside from that, we don’t know much else. Personally, I’m most excited to hear which California-specific geological wonder Apple has named the newest macOS after.

tvOS

Apple TV users may want to tune in. Credit: Nina Riggio/Bloomberg via Getty Images

Apple’s most neglected operating system could potentially see some time in the spotlight at WWDC 2022. After no-showing at last year’s event, the same Bloomberg report with iOS and macOS upgrades also offered a very slight hint at what’s to come for tvOS. 

Specifically, Apple TV devices will get “more smart home tie-ins.” What that actually means is anyone’s guess, though additional connectivity with HomePod devices is always welcome. 

MacBook Air with an M2 chip

Because 2 is better than 1. Credit: Gabby Jones/Bloomberg via Getty Images

WWDC isn’t a hardware event, but Gurman’s big WWDC report did mention one device we could see: A new MacBook Air. 

The big draw for the 2022 MacBook Air would reportedly be the inclusion of a new, next-generation version of Apple’s homemade silicon called M2. Mashable lauded the M1 MacBook Air in 2020 for combining impressive performance with strong battery life, so hopefully a new M2 version of the same machine would improve on those two aspects even more. 

In summary, just about everything Apple will show off at WWDC 2022 will probably be something you’ve already used before, just with a higher number at the end of it. Even if iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and the M2 MacBook Air all look incredible, none of them will be terribly surprising. That gives realityOS a real chance to blow us away, considering it could be the only totally new thing Apple shows off. 

As long as Apple’s vision of mixed reality doesn’t include virtual meetings with Mark Zuckerberg, I’ll be satisfied.

Take your pick of discounted Apple Watch Nike models during Walmart+ Weekend

Save $100 to $120: For Walmart+ members, the Apple Watch Nike SE (40mm, GPS) is 36% off and on sale for $179. The Apple Watch Nike Series 6 (44mm, GPS) is 28% off and on sale for $309. Snag both before the sale ends on June 5 at 7 p.m. ET.

If you want to score an especially good deal on Apple gear, you wait for a shopping holiday. And while Cyber Week is still five months away and the exact date of Amazon Prime Day has yet to be announced, Walmart+ Weekend has arrived, bringing us all those coveted Apple markdowns. 

Two in particular that are especially good: the sales on the Apple Watch Nike SE (40mm, GPS) and the Apple Watch Nike Series 6 (44mm, GPS), for $179 and $309, respectively (a.k.a. markdowns of $100 and $120). The Apple Watch Nike is a solid smartwatch for anyone, but it's especially great for runners, with its sport band, always-on run metrics, and watch face that bounces with you while you run.

Since these sales are part of Walmart+ Weekend, only Walmart+ members will have access to the savings through 7 p.m. ET on June 5. If you're not one yet, it's worth considering a signup, especially since the perks of free shipping and store delivery come at just $98 per year (as compared to Amazon Prime's $139 yearly fee). At the very least, you'll want to check out why these Apple Watch sales give some serious bang for your buck.

Apple Watch Nike SE (40mm, GPS) — $179 $279 (save $100)

Usually, you can snag a starter Apple Watch — the Series 3 — from Walmart for $169. But if you want something a bit more feature-heavy, this weekend is your chance. As with all Nike Apple Watches, you'll get the Nike Run Club app, but you'll also get a heart rate monitor, fall detection, a compass, and always-on altimeter. Basically, if you're interested in getting an Apple Watch but don't find yourself wanting the ECG or SPO2 sensor all that badly, the SE is the more cost effective route. And if you want a slightly larger watch face, the 44mm SE is also $100 off at $209.

The SE models with cellular connectivity are also worth considering, especially for runners who want some freedom from their phones while they're exercising. The 40mm and 44mm watches are both $100 off, at $229 and $259, respectively.

Apple Watch Nike Series 6 (44mm, GPS) — $309 $429 (save $120)

Since Apple stopped selling the Series 6 last fall, finding this watch brand new and for a decent price has been a challenge. The Series 6 is our favorite fitness tracker, so we're especially excited about this deal.

The Series 6 comes loaded with an ECG feature, sleep tracking, an automatic hand-washing sensor, and SPO2 sensor for blood oxygen readings. In terms of health features, there's not much the newer Series 7 has that the Series 6 doesn't. The 41mm Series 7, on the other hand, starts at $399 — so you're getting a larger watch face and a pretty similar watch for $90 less.

In case runners that prefer leaving their phones at home are curious, the GPS and cellular Series 6 watches are also on sale, but their prices pre-Walmart+ Weekend were actually lower, so you'll want to pass during this weekend's sale.

For those interested in saving a tiny bit more money, the 40mm Series 6 without cellular connectivity is available for $279. However, its sale price is close enough to the 44mm that we think it's worth opting for the larger watch face.

BMW Announces Latest Vehicles That Can Be Unlocked With Your iPhone While Placed in Your Pocket

BMW this week announced two new vehicles with support for its Digital Key Plus feature, including the 2023 X1 and an all-new electric SUV called the iX1. Digital Key Plus allows for compatible BMW vehicles to be locked, unlocked, or started with an iPhone or Apple Watch, eliminating the need for a physical key. The standard NFC version of the feature requires the iPhone or Apple Watch to be held near the driver-side door to unlock the vehicle, but Digital Key Plus utilizes Ultra Wideband technology to detect when you are near the vehicle, allowing you to keep your iPhone in your pocket. Digital Key Plus also improves security, as Ultra Wideband's precise location awareness helps to prevent relay attacks, where the radio signal between the iPhone and vehicle is jammed or intercepted by another party.

Digital Key Plus requires an iPhone 11 or newer, or an Apple Watch Series 6 or newer, with the digital keys stored in Apple's built-in Wallet app. The feature has gradually rolled out to more BMW models, such as the 2022 i4, 2022 iX, and now the 2023 X1 and iX1. BMW also offers the standard NFC-based Digital Key feature on a wider range of 2021 and newer vehicles, with a complete list available on Apple's website. Digital Key Plus can be set up using the My BMW app, and digital keys can be shared with up to five other users. Even if your iPhone runs out of battery, the feature still works for up to five additional hours through a Power Reserve mode.

How to use your smartwatch as a camera remote

The Apple Watch comes with a built-in camera remote app. | Photo by Victoria Song / The Verge

Most people think of a smartwatch as a fitness gadget or a way to discreetly view notifications. But did you know that you can also use your smartwatch as a camera remote? Instead of scrambling to beat the timer for your next group photo or selfie, you can instead use your smartwatch to control your phone’s camera shutter.

Some smartwatches, like the Apple Watch, have this feature built in. Others require you to download a separate third-party app. You’ll also need to be within Bluetooth range, since that’s how smartwatches communicate with your phone. This probably won’t be an issue in most scenarios, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re thinking of using this feature on a more ambitious photo project.

In any case, here’s how...

Apple Watch remains the best seller as smartwatch market grows

New research claims that global sales of smartwatches were up 13% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to last year, and that Apple Watch continues to have the largest share.

The Apple Watch previously dominated smartwatch sales in 2021, and now new figures for Q1 2022 claim to show that its lead is growing.According to Counterpoint Research, Apple sold 2.5 times as many smartwatches as its nearest rival, Samsung. It sold more than its closest six rivals, too. Read more... More info: https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/01/apple-watch-remains-the-best-seller-as-smartwatch-market-grows?utm_medium=rss

Apple is looking into giving Apple Watch a camera

One of the first smartwatches to hit the market, Samsung's Galaxy Gear, had an integrated camera. It wasn't a big hit and with Apple Watch soon taking over much of the market, cameras on smartwatches were largely abandoned as a concept.

But a freshly granted patent (via PatentlyApple) shows that Apple is still considering (or it has at one point considered) the idea of giving Apple Watch a camera.

The patent describes a watch with a camera integrated into the crown, and there would also be a light emitter that would help when taking a photo in low light conditions.

The final product would likely look a little more elegant than this. Credit: USPTO

The problem with cameras on smartwatches is that it's an idea that sounds good on paper, but when you actually have to point your wrist in some direction to take a photo it gets awkward fast. But Apple has a solution for that: the patent describes the possibility of the watch being detached from the wrist to take photos more freely.

SEE ALSO: Apple's next iPhone might finally get always-on display

Note that the patent was actually filed in 2019, so it's quite possible that Apple has since given up on the idea. Furthermore, the fact that a company has filed a patent for a feature does not guarantee that the feature will actually become reality. If you're aching for a way to take photos from your wrist, though, you may now continue to dream.

As for what we can actually expect from Apple's next Watch, likely due to launch in the fall, reports say that it might have a new, flatter design, and several new health-related features, including blood-pressure monitoring, thermometer, and sleep tracking. A rugged version of the Watch, aimed at athletes and hikers, might be in the works as well.

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the 2022 iPad Air.

Want the power of the iPad Pro without the high price tag? The 2022 iPad Air's M1 chip has got you covered, and it's back down to its lowest price ever, despite being on the market for just under a couple of months. The starting storage could be a little bit bigger and this new low price only applies to the pink and purple iPad at the time of writing, but as our review says, "it's still the iPad most people should buy." And other colors are still on sale, too.
