It's a slightly sketchy rumor, but it jibes with other info that's already leaked out: the Apple Watch is getting bigger screen sizes for the first time. But will our old bands still fit?

In other news:

• New MacBook Pros are coming and for the first time, the smaller model will be as fast as its bigger sibling. But there's a catch.

• If you have an iPhone 12 with 5G, there's one carrier that stands head and shoulders above the rest for download speeds, but it's probably not the one you're thinking of.

• We review a leather Apple Watch band from Monowear that's a surefire winner.

• And check out Nomad's new leather 'skin' for iPhone that protects the back with a thin layer of cowhide. It looks great, IMO.
