  • Starlink High-Speed Internet Now Available on Cessna Citation Longitude via STC
    October 13, 2025, 3:56 AM EDT. Textron Aviation today announced an aftermarket Starlink high-speed internet solution for the Cessna Citation Longitude following the FAA's issuance of AeroMech's STC. The system leverages Starlink's constellation of LEO satellites to deliver more reliable connectivity over land, water and remote regions where traditional inflight Wi-Fi may fall short. With this option, Longitude customers can stay productive and connected throughout their flights. Textron Aviation notes the Longitude's quiet cabin, extended range and advanced avionics are complemented by Starlink to elevate the in-flight experience. AeroMech's STC clears the path for retrofit, expanding access to high-speed, cockpit- and cabin-level internet for operators and owners.
  • iPhone 17 review: The base model finally gets a glow-up — is it worth it?
    October 13, 2025, 3:55 AM EDT. Apple’s iPhone 17 keeps the familiar chassis but hides a few meaningful tweaks behind a minimalist shell. The vanilla/base model grows to a 6.3-inch display with almost edge-to-edge bezels and a light 177-gram frame, while keeping the two vertical cameras from the iPhone 16. New colorways—Lavender, Sage, Mist Blue—arrive, but there’s little external drama. The big news is a 120Hz refresh rate on the base model, delivering smoother scrolling and gaming, plus subtle refinements rather than a Pro-like overhaul. The reviewer admits they were initially underwhelmed, but the enhanced display and restrained performance still offer incremental value. If you want a Pro-level feel without the price, the iPhone 17’s upgrades merit a closer look, even as the core identity remains familiar.

This initiative aligns with LSEG Everywhere, expanding AI-enabled workflows across financial services while maintaining security, compliance, and control.
  • Apple halts cheaper Vision headset, shifts focus to smart glasses
    October 13, 2025, 3:53 AM EDT. Apple has scrapped its plans for a lighter, cheaper Vision Air headset and redirected resources toward mass-market smart glasses, per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. While the Vision Pro remains powerful but bulky and expensive, the company is pursuing a more approachable wearable that could someday pair with the iPhone and run a lighter version of visionOS. The move echoes Apple’s selective product strategy, contrasting with Meta’s dual headset and Ray-Ban Display. Gurman notes Apple could unveil this model as soon as next year, with a 2027 release and an accelerated timeline for a version with a display that could challenge Ray-Ban Display. A refreshed Vision Pro is still in play, but the long-term vision resembles a tiered Vision lineup moving from basic smart glasses to AR headsets.
  • Apple Watch Series 10 hits all-time low price during October Prime Day
    October 13, 2025, 3:41 AM EDT. Tom's Guide is tracking the Prime Big Day deals and highlights the Apple Watch Series 10 at a new low of $329 on Amazon. This price marks the lowest ever for the 2024 model, making it an exceptional value for a premium wearable. In our Apple Watch Series 10 review, reviewers praised its lighter, thinner design for improved comfort, and noted strap compatibility with the Series 9. A standout is the FDA‑approved sleep apnea detection feature that can share a PDF with your doctor. Beyond health tracking, it remains a capable fitness watch with the Depth app for divers and many third‑party apps. Battery life sticks to around 18 hours, but a 15‑minute charge adds about 8 hours of use.
