Amazon Halo no-no, LG Wing leaked again, and more tech news you need to know
August 15, 2025
1. Amazon’s Halo maybe shouldn’t exist
There’s something interesting and quite tone-deaf about Amazon’s new wellness wearable, called the Halo.
For six months, all the features are unlocked for free. And what exactly are those features?
Amazon says this is to help people find new ways to improve. It’s kinda cool in a computers-can-do-this-now way, but it also seems to be creating new ways to feel anxious.
All that said, it’s on pre-sale at a discounted $65.
