Apple previously said macOS Catalina would be out sometime in October.
Apple recently launched several new software updates, including iOS 13 and iPadOS. Notably absent from the list is macOS Catalina, which Apple previously said would be available sometime in October.

Thanks to Apple’s Danish website, however, we may know exactly when macOS Catalina will launch: October 4.

This blurb, however, mentions Apple Arcade will be available in the App Store beginning October 4, suggesting that’s when macOS Catalina will also be available.

October 4 is a Friday, which MacRumors notes is a little unusual for a major release…

An iPhone was found after spedning 15 months at the bottom of a lake.
The iPhone was inside a plastic sleeve protect that took most of the damage.
After finding it, the iPhone was returned to its original owner.
Thanks to a protective cover and a little luck, the iPhone survived.

We’ve heard countless stories about iPhones getting accidentally dropped into a body of water, and just when the owner feels like they’ll never see their old iPhone again, they somehow find it. Well, it’s happened yet again.

YouTuber Nuggetnoggin was scuba diving in a lake when he came across something he didn’t expect—an iPhone. The iPhone (which looks it was a rose gold iPhone 6s) was inside of a protective water sleeve that is meant to protect it against water damage. However, it does not protect against drops, which is what the owner did.

When the iPhone was found, the plastic sleeve was covered in grime and dirt, looking as if it had been down there for a while.

Take full advantage of Darkroom.

The latest app to get support for iOS 13 and the newly-released iPadOS is the photo editing service Darkroom. The update is rolling out to date that takes advantage of Apple’s latest software upgrades.

Oddly enough Darkroom is going in the opposite direction of other apps. Instead of adding a new dark mode, it is adding a new Light Mode. That’s mostly because the app’s interface—both for iPhone and iPad—was already dark. Now that iOS 13 and iPadOS users have a system-wide Dark Mode they can switch between, Darkroom users can take advantage of it along with a new lighter option for the icon.

Additionally, Darkroom is getting a lot of new features for iPadOS. It now supports the Split View and Slide Over View, which now includes support…
