iOS 16.4 is out with bug fixes and a ton of new emoji
If you own an Apple device, check your notifications: Apple has officially released updates for each of its major Platforms. The MacOS 13.3, and iOS / iPadOS 16.4 and WatchOS 9.4 updates include 21 new emoji, improved voice isolation for calls and a smattering of minor bug fixes.
To start, the emoji keyboard is five new animals, two new hand gestures, three new colored hearts and a handful of household objects such as a folding fan, a flute and maracas. When you’re not spamming friends with the new goose emoji, you’ll be enjoying the benefits of the more subtle updates. Cellular calls now have Voice Isolation, designed to block out ambient noise. The Duplicates album in Photos will now cross check with images stored in the iCloud Shared Photo Library to keep your albums clean. There’s even a new accessibility feature that helpfully dims the screen when it detects flashing lights or strobe effects in video content — all on top of a series of bug fixes that address issues with content management for parents, accidental alarm muting and more.
Apple is also reintroducing the new HomeKit architecture it pulled from iOS 16.2 and MacOS Ventura 13.1 last year. At the time, users were reporting that certain Siri commands weren’t working correctly and that smart home devices weren’t showing up correctly in the Home App. Not only have those issues apparently been addressed, but Apple also notes that a pairing issue with Matter-compatible has also been resolved.
Ready to send some new Emoji? You can try the latest OS for yourself by navigating to your device’s settings app to update.

Get immersed in the big game on a supersized Samsung QLED, now $200 below its price from Cyber Monday. The 2021 Q70A Series isn’t Samsung’s cheapest or most expensive QLED, but it checks all the right boxes for watching sports and gaming: direct backlighting with local dimming, crisp HDR, and bright quantum dot color even in sunlit rooms.

(opens in a new tab)
Why we love it
One $1,000 discount still sticking around from Best Buy’s holiday sale brings a massive LG QNED TV below $1,500. QNED is a mashup of LG’s NanoCell technology and quantum dots (which amp up color depth using an extra light filter of nanoparticles) and the backlighting of mini LEDs (for more precise contrast through extra dimming zones, which will be helpful for keeping track of the football).

Sony TV deals
Opens in a new tab
Our pick: Sony 55-inch A90J OLED TV
(opens in a new tab)
Why we love it
The 55-inch version of Sony’s luxury OLED TV is somehow seeing a bigger discount than the more expensive 65-inch model. Bringing that “O” on board significantly upgrades the TV’s picture quality, especially in dimly-lit rooms and dark, shadowy scenes. OLED doesn’t require an external backlight. Instead, they use organic light-emitting diodes. These self-lit pixels are individually controlled by the TV itself based on the content and lighting of the room, offering more precise contrast than LED or QLED.

Our pick: Amazon 65-inch Omni 4K Fire TV
(opens in a new tab)
Why we love it
Prime members get an extra $60 off the 65-inch version of Amazon’s Omni TV (which is already on sale), bringing the price down to just over $500. The Omni series brings a new level of smooth operation to those familiar Fire TV features and is well-reviewed for its bright color thanks to Dolby Vision, which only the 65-inch and 75-inch Omni models support.
