Sleep Number says its latest smart bed will adapt to your needs as you get older
Posted in: Today's ChiliSleep Number is back at CES this year with the latest version of its 360 smart bed. The company has packed more features into the product, such as the ability to monitor body temperature. The graphite-infused foam mattress can cool or heat each side of the bed to maintain each person’s preferred temperature throughout the night. The Climate360 mattress also has such a feature. The smart bed can warm your feet to help you drift off too.
As with the current model, there’s a snoring detection function. That can prompt the bed to raise your head to mitigate moderate snoring. In addition, the bed can tilt entirely to open your airway and help you breathe more easily while keeping your spine properly aligned.
One of the core ideas behind the latest model is that it’s designed to adapt to your changing needs. For instance, it can be raised or lowered to help those who are pregnant, have an injury or are simply getting a little older to get in and out of bed.
Sleep Number
The 360 smart bed offers sleep tracking, and will provide details on things like how long and well you slept. Eventually, it may be able to monitor for signs of insomnia, sleep apnea or cardiac events and alert the sleeper about possible conditions. Software updates should add more features and insights over time.
The revamped 360 smart bed will be available in 2023. Pricing is expected to start at $1,099.
Sleep Number also announced some smart furniture that’s designed to complement the bed. Features include mobility aids, individual noise reduction tech, ambient lighting and a built-in charging and storage pocket. The company will start shipping the furniture next year too.

The late David Bowie’s music is already immersive on many levels, but that’s now reflected in the mixes themselves. All of Bowie’s post-2000 studio albums (Heathen, Reality, The Next Day and Blackstar) plus a live album (A Reality Tour) have been remixed in Sony’s 360 Reality Audio for release on Amazon Music Unlimited, Deezer and Tidal on January 21st. You can also listen to four of the A Reality Tour songs today (January 6th) at 7PM Eastern through Sony Square and YouTube, and through the Artist Connection mobile app afterward.
Importantly, longtime Bowie producer Tony Visconti was responsible for the mixes. This is as close as you’ll get to a Bowie-approved mix in 2022, in other words, and it’s a fitting tribute for the rock legend’s imminent 75th birthday. You can use any headphones to listen in 360 Reality Audio, although Sony would clearly prefer you use its products.
This won’t satisfy fans who want 360-degree mixes of full classic albums like Hunky Dory or Low (really, the album with “Sound and Vision” didn’t get a rework?). You likewise won’t be thrilled if you prefer services like Apple Music or Spotify. Only a handful of Bowie songs have received the spatial audio treatment to date, though — this is still a treat for enthusiasts eager for some audio bliss.

Apple Reportedly Testing Multiple Foldable iPhone Prototypes, But Still Remains Skeptical
Posted in: Today's Chili
If the rumors are to be believed, Apple is apparently looking to build its own foldable iPhone. Now according to a series of tweets by @dylandkt, it appears that the company has apparently already built multiple foldable iPhone prototypes that they are in the process of testing, but we might not necessarily see it launch anytime soon.
This is because according to the tweet, Apple is still slightly skeptical and cautious about adopting the foldable design. This is because they aren’t sure if the trend of foldable smartphones is here to stay, or if it will eventually stop being cool, kind of like how phones with glasses-free 3D displays eventually stopped being popular.
3/3 While other manufactures are iterating on products that are seemingly in beta, Apple is keen on making sure that the design is not a regression from the current form factor of the iPhone. They are interested in playing the long game to see how the technology progresses.
— Dylan (@dylandkt) January 6, 2022
The tweet also says that Apple wants to make sure that if they do adopt a new form factor, like a foldable, that it won’t be a “regression” of the current form factor, meaning that it should be better, not worse. So much so that they are playing the long game to see how foldable technology progresses before they decide to hop on board.
Apple has been known to take their time when it comes to adopting certain features, so this move shouldn’t be surprising. Plus, if you recall, some have suggested that in the next 10 years or so, Apple wants to replace the iPhone with smart glasses, so we’re not sure how developing and releasing a foldable iPhone is supposed to help with that goal.
