Good morning! It’s Saturday, August 30th—time to kick things off! DJ, how about spinning some Saturday vibes? Have you checked out the new collaboration between Amy Lee (from Evanescence) and Halsey for ‘The Ballerina’?

Amy Lee. Evoking a lot of high school memories for me through her collaboration with Seether on ‘Broken,’ which peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and her numerous hits with Evanescence, including ‘Bring Me to Life,’ a chart-topping single that reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy Award. A slightly lesser famous but equally good song in my opinion is ‘My Immortal’ by Amy Lee.

Football Season

Football season has returned, bringing the excitement of college and NFL games to action-packed weekends. Meanwhile, MLB is heating up as the race to the playoffs intensifies. On the golf front, Ryder Cup USA selections are finalized, with the highly anticipated tournament just around the corner.

I came across the shot that Tiger Woods pulled off doing a near 50 yard slice. One of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen.

I also came across this interview with Lee Westwood discussing just how good Tiger was.

Apple Announcement Coming

Apple’s upcoming iPhone announcement is set for September 9, 2025, and anticipation could not be higher. The “Awe Dropping” event will be hosted at Apple Park and broadcast live, unveiling the next-generation iPhone lineup alongside several other exciting products.

Excitement for New iPhones

This September’s event is all about the new iPhone 17 series. Apple is expected to reveal the standard iPhone 17, high-end Pro models, and an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, which might set new standards in smartphone design. The Air variant is rumored to be the thinnest and lightest iPhone yet, while the Pro models will bring improved cameras, smoother displays, and faster processors.

What to Expect

Attendees and viewers should look forward to major updates across the hardware lineup: Apple Watch Series 11, AirPods Pro 3, and potentially more surprises. The new iPhones are anticipated to introduce a sleek new design, superior performance, enhanced durability, and a fresh range of colors.

iOS 26: Ready for a New Era

Alongside the hardware, Apple will officially launch iOS 26, which promises a dramatic makeover. Users will see a “Liquid Glass” interface that brings translucency and depth to app windows, major upgrades to privacy and security, significant improvements in core apps, and smarter features across the board. The update will also unify Apple’s software versioning—so all major devices get iOS 26 together.

Looking Ahead

With September 9 approaching fast, excitement is building for both the incredible hardware and the transformative software Apple is about to deliver. The next chapter of the iPhone and iOS begins soon—and it’s one fans won’t want to miss.

Have an excellent weekend everyone! Tomorrow I’ll do my review of the film ‘Caught Stealing’. It might be a surprise nominated film.
