We review the latest Apple Watch. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 2018 By Anthony Ha

The Apple Watch becomes more health-conscious, Angry Birds takes flight on Magic Leap and hackers steal credit card info from Newegg customers. Here's your Daily Crunch for September 19, 2018.

1. Review: Apple Watch Series 4

Right behind our iPhone review comes Brian Heater's take on the latest Apple Watch. He boils down Apple's Watch strategy into two main areas: Subtle hardware improvements (like a larger screen) and improved health-monitoring capabilities.

Ultimately it sounds like the new Watch doesn't justify an upgrade from the previous generation. But there are enough tweaks to keep Apple ahead of the smartwatch competition.

2. Magic Leap One's first big game is another Angry Birds; here's what it's like

The mechanics of the game are familiar: You're trying to knock over a little tower of blocks and destroy the green pigs inhabiting their far reaches. What's unique is that the blocks are now stacked on your coffee table, with a Magic Leap controller as your slingshot.

3. Hackers stole customer credit cards in Newegg data breach

Hackers injected 15 lines of card skimming code on the online retailer's payments page which remained for more than a month, according to threat researcher Yonathan Klijnsma.

4. iOS 12.1 beta hints at new iPad Pro

There's a new device codename in the setup reference files, called iPad2018Fall. As clues go, it's pretty obvious.

5. Sony announces the PlayStation Classic, its own mini retro console

The PlayStation Classic's lineup will feature 20 classic games, including Final Fantasy VII Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms.

6. The Gap Table: Women own just 9 percent of startup equity

A new study from Carta and the ex-Twitter female investor group #Angels reveals that women make up 35 percent of startup equity-holding employees, yet own just 20 percent of the equity.

7. Google's Work Insights helps businesses better understand how they work

The new product gives businesses more insights into how their employees use the company's G Suite productivity tools and how teams collaborate using those tools.
