The Apple Watch is one of the most personal pieces of technology Apple has ever invented. And it's about to get even better.

Unveiled at the WWDC 2019 keynote earlier this week, WatchOS 6 is a free software update coming later this year to Apple Watch models made in 2016 or later. It introduces a handful of new features for monitoring and tracking your health, and adds lots of quality-of-life improvements to boot.

We rounded up the best features coming to the Apple Watch in WatchOS 6. Take a look.

New watch faces!

Apple added a ton of new watch faces in WatchOS 6, including new styles and complications. "We have more watch faces this year since the very first Apple Watch," Kevin Lynch, Apple's Watch boss, said at the WWDC keynote on Monday.  

There are gradient watch faces that animate with the time, new bold watch faces, a watch face that changes languages randomly, and even a solar watch face that changes based on the position of the sun.

A new feature called Activity Trends gives you long-term analysis of your health and fitness — something the Watch doesn't do currently.

Activity Trends compares your progress over the last 90 days to the past 365 days, so you can see if you're improving or trending downward in any given fitness metric, like standing, exercising, moving, and cardio levels.

If your Watch notices you slipping in any category, it can coach you to get back on track.

Your Watch will be able to tell you what song is playing.

Thanks to a new integration with Shazam, you'll be able to raise your wrist to activate Siri and ask "What song is this?" If you have an Apple Watch with cellular connectivity, you won't even need your phone nearby to do this.

Thanks to WatchOS 6, the Apple Watch will be able to address hearing loss and hearing health for the first time.

The Apple Watch is getting a Noise app and complication, which can sense ambient noise in the environment and track the duration of your exposure. If the sounds near you are super loud as to impact your hearing, the Watch will let you know if you're in an area that'll impact your hearing over time.

Worth noting: Apple doesn't record or save any audio to use this feature.

The Apple Watch will have new ways to tell you the time.

If you don't want to look at your Apple Watch to get the time, WatchOS 6 has you covered.

In the new update, you can program a chime to ring in the new hour, or you can have the Watch silently tap out the hour on your wrist. Holding two fingers on the face will make your Apple Watch tell you the time out loud.

The Apple Watch is getting a Cycle Tracking app for women.

Later this year, the Apple Watch will be able to track menstrual cycles, let you record symptoms like cramps, and show patterns and variations of cycle length. It can also tell women when their fertile window is most likely to start.

A slew of useful apps from the iPhone are coming to the Watch.

Apple's Audiobooks, Calculator, and Voice Memos apps will all be on your wrist, so you never have to reach far to take a mental note or do some math. (I personally use the Calculator and Voice Memos apps a lot, so this is a great quality-of-life improvement.)

The Apple Watch is getting a full version of the App Store.

The full App Store will be searchable on the Apple Watch. You can dictate, scribble, or use Siri to find what you're looking for. Once you find an app you want, just double-click to install it.

Which WatchOS features are you most excited for?

I'd love to hear more about the WatchOS features you're excited to try, or features you wish Apple implemented this time around. Shoot me an email at dsmith@businessinsider.com.

• Billionaires' Row in New York City is known for having some of the most expensive residential real estate in the world.
• The set of supertall luxury skyscrapers south of Central Park has attracted wealthy buyers including Michael Dell and hedge-fund billionaire Ken Griffin.
• But two full-time real-estate investors say Billionaires' Row is not a good investment due to the surplus of inventory and other economic factors.
• Richard and Monica Weinberg of the Terrace Tower Group told Business Insider the best investments are walkable neighborhoods with smaller streets where New Yorkers want to live, like NoHo, the West Village, Tribeca, and Chelsea.
• If they did ever buy in Midtown, they would consider buying in 220 Central Park South on Billionaires' Row, where Griffin bought a $238 million penthouse in January.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Billionaires' Row in New York City, an area surrounding 57th Street south of Central Park, has some of the most expensive real estate in the world. And the set of several ultra-luxury skyscrapers sprouting up there has already seen record-setting sales.

In 2014, Dell Technologies founder and CEO Michael Dell spent about $100 million on a penthouse in the One57 tower. And in January 2019, billionaire hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin dropped $238 million on a spread at 220 Central Park South. 

But as the US luxury real-estate market cools, the super-pricey Billionaires' Row condos may no longer hold the same appeal as investment properties.

Despite interest from superrich tech CEOs and hedge-fund managers, Billionaires' Row is not the best NYC neighborhood to invest in real estate, according to two full-time real-estate investors.

Richard and Monica Weinberg of the Terrace Tower Group in Australia started investing in New York City about a decade ago, focusing on properties in the $2 million to $15 million range.

"I believe the best neighborhoods, streets within, and property is where a New Yorker would want to live," Monica told Business Insider. "I prefer a hyper-local approach, concentrating on neighborhoods that have interesting histories and [are] well positioned to provide for current housing demand and capture future growth."

According to the Weinbergs, Billionaires' Row doesn't fit that bill.

"From my perspective, I do not believe Billionaires' Row would make for a good investment," Monica said. 

In Midtown, where Billionaires' Row is located, there's too much "traffic, noise, hassle, and retail," she said. "Midtown is great if you're in the city for a short while, but if I were to live there, I would most likely prefer the west side of downtown. The streets are smaller with a village feel and little pedestrian traffic."

Billionaires' Row has a glut of super-pricey condos in a slowing luxury real-estate market.

The ritzy area is a "tough micro market" due to an influx of inventory and other economic factors, the Weinbergs said. 

There certainly is a surplus of inventory on Billionaires' Row, where at least eight luxury towers— recently completed or to be finished in the next couple of years — are trying to sell similar ultra-prime real-estate at the same time in the same area. As Curbed New York recently reported, more than 40% of the pricey Billionaires' Row condos remain unsold, and some have been on the market for years, according to real-estate appraiser Jonathan Miller.

The luxury residential market in New York City is seeing a slowdown, as Crain's New York Business reported in October, with one contributing factor being that wealthy foreign buyers are less willing to drop millions on ultra-prime Manhattan real estate.

And on Billionaires' Row in particular, many condos have been selling at significant losses, The Real Deal recently reported.

The best investment neighborhoods are downtown, walkable neighborhoods like NoHo, the West Village, Tribeca, and Chelsea, according to the Weinbergs.

"My personal preference is for Noho, West Village, Tribeca, and Chelsea," Monica said. "Perry, West 12th and Leroy streets are also perfect examples. These areas have shown relative strength during times of weakness."

In those neighborhoods, the streets are smaller "with a village feel," she added.

If the Weinbergs ever choose a Midtown building to invest in, however, they would probably choose 220 Central Park South, where Griffin bought a $238 million penthouse.

"220, much like 15 Central Park West, has the best location directly across the park that I would prefer if living there," Monica said.

220 Central Park South remains Billionaires' Row's best-selling building, with an estimated 80% of its condos sold or in contract.

NOW WATCH: What it takes to be a professional taxidermist

• Luxury real estate is about experience, not aesthetic, according to New York-based designer Andrew Kotchen of architecture and design firm Workshop/APD.
• The emphasis on experience as a defining part of luxury helps explain why more luxury condo developers are pouring money into wellness amenities like rooftop running tracks and private spas.
• It's part of a larger trend in which the elite are increasingly investing in intangible goods like privacy and education.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Luxury properties are no longer all about marble floors and French doors.

According to New York-based designer Andrew Kotchen, founding principal of architecture and design firm Workshop/APD, luxury is more about experience than aesthetic. Kotchen's firm has designed everything from urban lofts and homes to city buildings and restaurants across London, the Bahamas, Miami, Nantucket, Aspen, and New York City.

"It's about comfort," he said in a recent interview with Mansion Global. "A beautiful hotel, for example, is not luxury if it's not relaxing. It's not just about rich materials spread throughout. The world we live in thinks the more money you throw at it, the more fancy materials, the more luxury it is. It's not true."

He continued: "Certainly there are baseline conditions of quality and craft, but it's really an experience. That's what it means to me. It's not a place, a thing, or a product."

The focus on experiences explains why luxury condo developers are pouring money into "well-being" amenities. Consider boutique Los Angeles condominium 1030 Kings, which has an outdoor yoga deck, and Arbor18 in Brooklyn, which boasts not only a zen garden but also an infrared sauna with built-in chromotherapy.

It also explains why luxury buyers are downsizing, prioritizing quality over space. But the evolution of luxury real estate is part of a bigger shift in the overall luxury industry: The wealthy are increasingly spending money discreetly and on experiences instead of items that once signified status.

Entire industries are developing or adjusting their services to cater to consumers' heightened interest in the experience behind the brand. As Business Insider's Lina Batarags reported, "Wellness is increasingly regarded as a modern embodiment of luxury, and accordingly, an array of spas and studios offering treatments like cryofacials, weeklong retreats, and vitamin IV drips are delivering those experiences."

• Fresh Flowers are the perfect way to brighten up any space, from a spray of colorful blooms on your coffee table to a fresh-from-the-ground bouquet in the kitchen. 
• But the longevity of flowers can be cut short by bacteria, fungi, and dehydration. 
• Most cut flowers can last anywhere from 7-12 days if properly cared for, there are lots of easy ways and simple tricks to make your bouquets last longer, using common household items. 
• Here are the best, pro-tested methods recommended for keeping your flowers alive, and all the materials and tools you need to do it. 
• You can also check out our guide to the best flower delivery services.

Everybody loves fresh flowers. They bring color and life to your space, they smell lovely, and they add a finishing touch to any room. Plus, if you give or get them as a gift, they remind everyone of a happy occasion like a birthday, anniversary, or holiday. Good vibes all around, right?

So how can you make them last as long as possible? There are lots of theories, tricks, and tips out there, from my mom's opinion that a few tablespoons of sugar and vinegar always stretch the life of a bloom, to a suggestion made by the experts at ProFlowers that putting your bouquet in the fridge every night will increase its longevity.

First, keep in mind that some flowers naturally last longer than others. Roses, lilies, freesia, daisies, and sunflowers tend to stay fresher for longer. Blooms that are notorious for wilting after only a few days include hyacinths, lilacs, daffodils, ranunculus, and tulips.

We researched all the ways to make your buds last longer in their vases, and break down what you need, how to do it and which methods work best.

Here is everything you need to keep flowers alive longer:

• Garden shears: Fiskars Steel Bypass Pruning Shears
• Kitchen scissors: Tigeo Multi-Purpose Scissors
• A tall vase: Kangley Marble Ceramic 3-Piece Table Vase Set
  
• A low vase: Mifley Ceramic Vase
  
• A can of soda: 12-pack of Sprite
• Asprin: Basic Care Aspirin 500-count
• Bleach: Clorox Bleach
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

How to prepare your flowers for the vase

Experts at Urban Stems and other florist shops suggest you follow these five flower care tips:

1. Cut the stems: Before you put those roses in water, trim 1-2 inches off the end of each steam. Garden shears are best for this task, but kitchen scissors or a sharp, clean knife will also do. Cut at an angle which allows the stems to take in water more easily since they aren't resting flat against the bottom of the vase. Experts suggest you retrim your blooms every few days.
2. Prune extra leaves: It's important to remove any leaves that will fall below the water line to prevent bacterial growth. Check your flowers daily to remove dead leaves and petals. This is especially important in mixed bouquets which have multiple types of flowers that may have different blooming times.
3. Pick the best vase: This may seem obvious to some people, but it really does make a difference. Just because the florist hands you a bunch of peonies on long stems doesn't mean they should be put in a tall vase. Bigger, heavier blooms should be cut short and put in a low vase where they can support each other when they open, or have room to spread out, while lighter, more delicate flowers can be kept in a taller vase. Make sure you are not crowding the vase either; when in doubt you can always make two bouquets out of one.
4. Change the water every few days: Start with a clean vase and fill it with room temperature water. When you add ingredients to the water, make sure they are completely mixed and dissolved before you place the flowers. Change the water and clean the vase every few days (you can re-trim the stems whenever you change the water).
5. Avoid these flower foes: Flowers will last longer in a cooler room and if you keep them out of direct sunlight. Avoid placing them near appliances that generate high or low temperatures like the stove, air conditioner, ceiling fans and even your computer or TV. Open windows will also cause them to dehydrate more quickly, and keep them away from fresh fruit which releases tiny amounts of gas that can cut the lifespan of your blossoms.

How to make your flowers last longer with additives

• Flower food packet: The pre-mixed flower food that comes in the little packet when you buy flowers is universally agreed to be the best overall method for keeping flowers alive. It works because it's the perfect mix of the three essential things flowers need; carbohydrates (sugars), biocides (cleansing agents) and acidifiers. These three ingredients promote cell metabolism, combat bacteria and adjust the pH of water to increase water uptake. Experts recommend adding a new packet to your vase whenever you change the water, but if you run out of packets, try this recipe for homemade flower food: 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon bleach, 2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice mixed into 1 quart of water.
• Refrigerator: Although you might not expect it given that we're told to keep the flowers away from cold spots, experts and testers unanimously agree that this method will keep your buds fresher for longer, if you remember to do it every night.
• Soda: Maybe you didn't know your hydrangeas had a sweet tooth? Mix a ¼ cup of soda into the water and watch how your blooms stay perky with a sugary beverage, just like a kid with a can of Sprite. In fact, that's the type of soda experts recommend, since a colored drink will turn the water cloudy.
• Vodka: Happy hour for your flowers is officially a real thing; add a few drops of vodka to your vase water to keep those posies partying for days. What you're actually doing here is slowing the wilting of your blooms through the alcohol's ability to decrease ethylene production, the ripening gas that makes plants mature.
• Aspirin: Keep your daisies from drooping by crushing an aspirin tablet and mixing it into your water. The common pain-reliever can lower the pH level in the water, which helps it travel through the stem faster to keep your flowers fresher, longer.
• Bleach: If bleach fights bacteria on floors and countertops, it only makes sense that it will kill the nasties in your vase water too. This method may be the trickiest since too much bleach is bad for your blossoms. Experts suggest just a ¼ teaspoon of bleach for 1 liter of water and adding a bit of soda or vinegar for an acidic element which will help the water flow through your flowers.
• Coins: The copper in coins, especially pennies, has acidic properties which also fight bacteria growing in your water and on your flowers. Just one penny on the bottom of the vase will help your tulips open up, but some testers do suggest you add a crushed aspirin to lower pH levels and increase water flow.
• Apple Cider Vinegar and sugar (plus a little bleach): The jury's still out on this one (sorry mom), but the idea here is that you're mimicking the flower food, with the sugar for nutrients and the vinegar to acidify the water. The most common recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and ½ teaspoon bleach for a quart vase. And if this method doesn't work for your flowers, there are lots of other things you can do with a little ACV.

• You can delete unwanted apps on an iPad to free up space on your device, allowing for more storage and clearing clutter on your home screen.
• You can also use the "Offload App" feature on an iPad to archive an app's data before deleting it. 
• If you delete an app on your iPad and later decide you want it back, you can re-install it from the App Store.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

An app-cluttered home screen on an iPad makes using the device much less pleasant, forcing you to comb through dozens of little icons in search of Instagram, your calendar, or some other app that you actually use.

You can delete unwanted apps on your iPad to clean up the home screen's appearance and improve your interface experience. It also frees up storage space so you can save more photos, songs, videos, and other downloads, and for other apps. With more free space, you won't have to worry about waiting to download a new app or app update.

There are two ways to delete apps from an iPad, but before we do the step-by-step, note that if you accidentally delete a paid app (or later change your mind and want an intentionally removed app back), you can sign in to the App Store, navigate to the list of purchased apps, and reinstall apps without a charge.

Any data stored within the app, such as levels beaten in a game, will be lost, though, so delete with care. You can also check the game's settings to see whether it allows for progress backups over iCloud, though not all games allow this.

How to delete apps on an iPad

1. Open up your iPad and swipe to the screen with the app (or apps) that you want to delete.

2. Gently press down on the first app to be removed, holding your finger in place until all apps on the screen begin wiggling.

3. A gray circle with an "X" will have appeared at the top left corner of the app; tap it, and then hit the red word "Delete" to complete the process.

4. Repeat as needed to delete other apps, then press the home button.

Note that if an "X" does not appear on an app while it jiggles, it cannot be deleted.

How to delete apps on an iPad and save their data using the "Offload App" feature

If you want to delete multiple apps at once, or you want to "Offload" an app — removing it from the iPad but archiving its data, allowing you to pick up where you left off if you reinstall the app — you should go through this process instead of the tap-hold-jiggle-X deletion.

1. Open your iPad's settings (the icon looks like black gears on a gray box).

2. Tap the "General" tab.

3. Tap "iPad Storage."

4. Scroll down to find a list of apps and tap the one in question.

5. Tap "Delete App" then confirm by hitting "Delete."

6. Alternately, hit "Offload App" and then confirm by hitting "Offload App," as depicted below. 

The app deletion process will take a matter of seconds once you are comfortable with it, so don't hesitate to clear away unused apps and free up space. And for the record, the same process of deleting an app of an iPad can be used to remove them from iPhones and iPod Touches, as well.

• Families around the US are paying different prices for rent in each state. 
• The highest median rent for a family in the US is in Hawaii, Washington DC, California, and New Jersey, according to the American Community Survey. 
• The lowest median rent for families is in landlocked states, like South Dakota, Missouri, and Iowa.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Across the US, there are families who choose to rent a home instead of buying. Just like how the average salary changes state-by-state, the average amount each family pays in rent per month varies regionally. 

Business Insider's data team examined the latest American Community Survey from 2017 to find the median rent in each state for a typical American family.

The highest median rent in the US is in Hawaii with $1,507 per month, but Washington D.C. isn't too far behind with a median rent of $1,424. On the other hand, the lowest median rent in the country is in South Dakota with $696 per month. 

From Florida to Alaska, here is the median rent in all 50 states:

The data also shows that the five highest median rents in the nation are all coastal states, which include Hawaii, California, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Meanwhile, the lowest median rents are land-locked states, which include South Dakota, Arkansas, Kentucky, Montana, and Missouri. 

Another study shows that for the places with the highest rents — California and Washington D.C. — a family needs to make six figures to afford their monthly rent payments.

• Summer can be brutal when you live in a city, and sweaty subway platforms with no air conditioning don't help.
• I asked my coworkers to share their tips and tricks for how to cool down when it's burning hot outside, and they had a lot of great ideas to share.
• From misting sprays to roll-on peppermint oil, here are some clever ideas for how to beat the heat this summer.

New York City can be extremely brutal in the summer. It's hot, muggy, full of tourists, and pretty smelly, too. Factor in that most of us who live and work here have to wear full-coverage clothing when it's burning hot outside (not to mention that underground subway platforms aren't air conditioned), and you've got a recipe for about four months of complete and utter overwhelm. 

As the weather heats up, we find ourselves desperately reaching for things that keep us cool — not just ice cream and air conditioning, but also portable fans, facial mists, cooling clothes, and refrigerated eye-masks.

I asked my coworkers to share the products they swear by for surviving sweltering weather, and pretty much everyone had some sort of clever trick up their sleeve that I felt was worth sharing. 

Here are the products we carry around or use every day to beat the heat and humidity:

Caudalie Grape Water Facial Misting Spray

Caudalie Grape Water, available at Sephora, $18

I do not mess around when it comes to staying cool in the summer. The second it starts to get hot in NYC, I start to carry this spray with me everywhere I go. It comes in both a full size and a travel size version, is super hydrating for the skin (both the face and body), and because the mist is so fine and gentle, it won't wash away the sunscreen or makeup you have on. Honestly, there's nothing better than having a cool mist wash over your face in the breeze when you otherwise feel completely decimated by the sun. — Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks editor

Kimkoo Gel Eye Mask

Kimkoo Gel Eye Mask, available on Amazon, $9.97

Though you likely won't want to carry this around with you for fear of scaring everyone, a gel eye mask is a godsend to have at home in the summer. After a long day in the sweltering heat, I love coming home to excavate my cold gel mask from the refrigerator. I pop it on while I watch TV, but it's also comfortable to sleep in on hot nights. Pro tip: You can also get the same effect by refrigerating regular sheet masks for a chilly skin-care treatment. — Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks editor

Haptime Battery-Powered Mini Fan

Haptime Battery-Powered Mini Fan, available on Amazon, $9.99

I just ordered this little fan because the one I've been using recently died. I don't even care how touristy or silly it makes me look — when it's 105 degrees in Manhattan and I'm stuck on a subway platform, you better believe I'm pulling this pen-sized baby out of my purse. I opted for a new one that's battery-powered so it lasts longer than my previous one.

One year update: Still works! — Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks editor

Mission HydroActive Large Cooling Towel

Mission HydroActive Large Cooling Towel, available on Amazon, $19.80

I'm not much of a fitness person, but I do spend a lot of time walking around outside in athletic clothes. On days when I'm out adventuring, hiking, going on extra long walks, or even just hanging out in the park, I bring this little towel along with me and keep it draped around my neck.

When you get it wet and then snap it a few times, the fabric gets really cold — and I'm not kidding you in the slightest when I say that it works. I thought the snapping part was optional until I actually tried it and compared it to a second one I got for my partner. It turns out that step is what activates the cooling technology (or magic) in the fabric. — Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks editor

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag, available on Amazon, $44.99 - $200 (depending on size and color) 

Although I prefer to carry a backpack, I switch to a messenger bag during the summer because it keeps me cooler — with the ability to move the bag around a bit more, and the fact that it sits looser against my body, I don't get as sweaty as I would with a backpack pressed against my back. I've been using the Timbuk2 classic for years, it's definitely my go-to. — David Slotnick, senior Insider Picks reporter

Ministry of Supply Apollo Dress Shirt

Apollo Dress Shirt, available at Ministry of Supply, $125

I'm not generally a fan of short-sleeved shirts, so having button-downs that breathe is extremely important to me. The material used in Ministy of Supply's Apollo shirt was developed by NASA scientists to be 19 times more breathable than cotton, and its piqué knit construction doesn't restrict mobility. Having tried and reviewed the shirt myself, I can say for certain that its designers did an excellent job. On the hottest days, the Apollo is the work shirt I reach for. — Brandt Ranj, Insider Picks associate editor 

Rowenta Silence Extreme Table Fan

Rowenta Silence Extreme 12-inch Table Fan, available at Bed Bath & Beyond, $79.99

"Silence Extreme" may sound like a really dramatic name for a fan, but this one from Rowenta is so silent it's almost scary. When I have it on night mode while I sleep, I can't hear it at all. There's no buzzing, no whirring, or anything else — just blissful silence so you can sleep and stay cool. Although this fan is super quiet, it's also very powerful.

It has three speeds and it oscillates, so if you do need more air than night mode is getting you, you can have it, though the fan will get slightly louder. Even so, this fan is extra quiet, and it's made sleeping in hot weather so easy. It comes in a larger size, too, and we recommend both models in our buying guide. — Malarie Gokey, Insider Picks guides editor

Aromine Peppermint Halo Roll-On

Aromine Peppermint Roll-On Essential Oil, available at Amazon, $12.30

I've been carrying around a similar roll-on peppermint oil stick and slathering it onto the back of my neck when it's excessively hot out in NYC, and it feels really amazing. The peppermint gives you a cooling, tingly sensation that I can't get enough of, and it's also super small so you can carry it in your pocket. This one is blended with a coconut oil as a carrier, so it's been diluted enough that it shouldn't irritate your skin. -Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks editor

Japanese Folding Fan

Japanese Hand Fan, available on Etsy in multiple designs, from $13.80

NYC summers are suffocating — especially when you venture down into subway stations where the air is still as death and muggy as a swamp. To get that air moving and to keep the various smells away, I carry a foldable fan in my bag. Truth be told, I didn't actually buy the one I have — I got it from a Japanese tech company at a tech trade show — but this one from Etsy looks just like the one I have and it ships straight from Japan. — Malarie Gokey, Insider Picks guides editor

NIGHT Pillow

NIGHT Pillow, available at Bed Bath and Beyond, $149.99 

I've tried many pillows, but the one I return to most often is this because it's so cool and comfortable. The memory foam is light and airy so you're not sinking into a dense, warm hole and the silk case keeps that coveted cold-side-of-the-pillow feeling going all night long. A silk pillowcase has additional benefits: it's better for your hair and skin. — Connie Chen, Insider Picks reporter

Hydro Flask Wide Mouth 40-Ounce Bottle

Hydro Flask Wide Mouth 40oz bottle, available on Amazon, $44.95

Aside from air conditioning, the most effective way I stay cool is with refreshingly cold water. When I know I'm going to be outside for long periods of time, I make sure to fill up my Hydro Flask. Compared to normal water bottles that do nothing to insulate drinks, the Hydro Flask does an excellent job at keeping drinks cold all day long. It's also great for carrying to the gym. — Amir Ismael, Insider Picks reporter

Mack Weldon Silver Crew Neck T-Shirt

Silver Crew Neck T-Shirt, available at Mack Weldon, $42

It's basically impossible for me to stay cool in the summer so my strategy is about damage control. My favorite item is Mack Weldon's Silver T-Shirt. It's not a cheap T-shirt at $42, but having the moisture-wicking and anti-microbial silver woven into the fabric means that it's easier for me to stay comfortable all day.

I've been using this shirt for a couple of years, and it's always my go to on a hot day. And despite tons of washes and uses, it hasn't worn out a bit. The color hasn't faded and the fit hasn't changed, which speaks volumes about Mack Weldon's attention to detail and quality. — Breton Fischetti, VP of Insider Picks

Ministry of Supply Easier Than Silk Shirt

Ministry of Supply Easier Than Silk Shirt, available at Ministry of Supply, $69

Ministry of Supply's Easier Than Silk shirt is one of my all-time favorites. It has the draping of a silk shirt, but none of the high-maintenance care. It's odor- and wrinkle-resistant and machine washable, and the breathable performance material means sweat dries fast. It's one of my best shirts both in comfort and how polished it looks on. It's worth every penny, and in frequent rotation for me in the summer.

I own what's now considered the previous generation of the shirt. You can find the newest version here. — Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter

VETTA Tapered Pant

VETTA Tapered Pant, available at VETTA, $119

I think it's worth mentioning this whole capsule because you can mix and match the five linen pieces to make a month's worth of breathable outfits, but these tapered pants are my favorite. They're flattering, go with everything, and are wonderfully breezy. I walk 20 minutes to and from the subway every day, and each day I wear these is already that much better. I'm planning on grabbing a second pair in black just so they're always in rotation. — Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter

Vivobarefoot Kanna Shoes

Vivobarefoot Kanna Shoes, available at Vivobarefoot, $95

Aside from being super convenient for traveling (or for rolling up and sticking in your purse as a backup on days you think you'll "like wearing heels"), the VIVO Kanna barefoot shoes are a lifesaver in the heat. They're made from a stretchy, breathable mesh sock upper that breathes in a way you can actually feel. They also don't trap heat like sneakers with foam or bulky layers either, and the ultra-lightweight construction means my feet never feel heavy or clumsy. You can find my full review here. — Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter

Helix Cool Pillow

Helix Cool Pillow, available at Helix, $115

This pillow is one of few "sleep cool" essentials that really make a difference for me. It's made out of a polyethylene fabric that has an especially high heat transfer, so it virtually always feels cold to the touch. It also has a great, cushy density that makes it especially competitive in my opinion for $115. You can find my full review here. — Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter

Central Park Tower sits at 225 W 57th Street on Billionaires' Row in New York City, along the southern edge of Central Park.

In wealthy cities around the world, from New York to London to Los Angeles, a certain ritzy neighborhood or street is being given an extravagant nickname: Billionaires' Row, which refers to a part of the city where some of the richest people live in ultra-expensive homes.

The building is one of a bevy of super-tall luxury skyscrapers rising along Billionaires' Row that are home to some of the most expensive residential real estate in the world. Some were recently finished, and others are still under construction.

Central Park Tower's neighboring buildings have sold multimillion dollar condos to high-profile buyers including Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell, Chinese billionaire Liu Yiqian, and billionaire Ken Griffin, who broke the record for the most expensive home ever sold in the US when he bought a $238 million penthouse at 220 Central Park South.

The newest renderings of Central Park Tower show a grand lobby outfitted with the finest finishings.

The tower was designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), with interiors by Rottet Studio.

Central Park Tower will include 179 ultra-luxury residences ranging from two- to eight-bedroom residences.

The first seven condos available in Central Park Tower today include a two-bedroom for $6.9 million, a three-bedroom for $18.8 million, a four-bedroom for $33.38 million, and a five-bedroom on the 112th floor for $63 million.

The living spaces are placed in the corners of the residences to maximize the views of the city and Central Park, according to the developer.

The homes are clearly designed with the striking views at top of mind.

The residences start on the 32nd floor and are outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows.

In addition to the 179 residences, Central Park Tower will include the exclusive Central Park Club.

The private club will offer 50,000 square feet of luxury amenities spread across three floors, including a 14th-floor terrace with a 60-foot swimming pool, a sundeck and cabanas, and poolside food and drink service.

The club will also have its own fitness and wellness program.

The wellness amenities include an indoor pool, a spa offering massages, facials, and body treatments, and a fitness center with private swimming classes, coaches, and personal training services.

In addition to the lavish amenities available to residents and club members, Central Park Tower will house a new 320,000-square-foot, seven-story Nordstrom New York flagship store. 

• Samsung provides no fewer than five ways to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S10.
• You can press the Galaxy S10's Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time, swipe your palm across the screen, or tell Bixby to take a screenshot.
• For long documents like web pages, you can also use the S10's scrolling capture button to take screenshots that are longer than the phone's display.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

It's surprising how often you need to take a screenshot on your phone — whether it's to capture a moment from a social media post, freeze the winning screen in a game, or grab the image of a web page.

The good news is that not only is it easy to capture a screenshot on your Galaxy S10, there are several different ways you can do it — so you can rely on whichever one is easiest or works best for you.

How to take a screenshot on a Galaxy S10 using buttons

Though Samsung gives you a few different ways to take a screenshot, the traditional way — which is most similar to the method you may know from other phones — is to use the buttons on the side of the phone.

1. Set up the screen the way you want to capture it.

2. Press the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously, and hold them for a second or two until the screenshot is taken. You'll see the screen flash and shrink slightly.

3. The screenshot toolstrip will appear at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. You can use the tools to tweak the image or, if you do nothing, the screenshot will be saved automatically to the Gallery.

How to take a screenshot on a Galaxy S10 using your palm

Many Android phones let you do common tasks with gestures, and the S10 allows you to take a screenshot by sliding the edge of your palm across the screen. This should be turned on by default, but if you want to make sure, do this:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap "Advanced features."

3. Tap "Motions and gestures."

4. Make sure "Palm swipe to capture" is on by swiping the switch to the right.

Once it's configured, you can take a screenshot using your palm. To do that:

1. Set up your screen with the content you want to screenshot.

2. Place the edge of your palm on the edge of the S10's screen, so your pinkie is pointing along the long side of the phone.

3. In one smooth motion, slide your palm across the phone. You can do this in either direction – right to left or left to right.

You'll see the screen flash and shrink, indicating the screenshot was successfully captured.

How to take a screenshot on a Galaxy S10 using Bixby

Bixby, which is Samsung's personal assistant (similar to Apple's Siri), can take a screenshot on your behalf as well. Assuming that Bixby has been set up (if it isn't configured, press the Bixby button below the volume controls on the left side of the S10 to get Bixby ready for business), here is what you need to do:

1. Set up your screen with the content you want to screenshot.

2. Say, "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot."

Bixby will take a screenshot and save the image in the Gallery.

How to screenshot a portion of the Galaxy S10 screen with Edge panels

The S10 has a few Edge panels that you can enable and access quickly with a swipe on the side of the screen. You can't use an Edge panel to take a full-screen screenshot, but you can use an Edge panel to grab a segment of the screen.

Before you can use an Edge Panel to capture part of the screen, you need to turn on the appropriate panel — it's not on by default.

1. Start the Settings app.

2. Tap "Display" and then tap "Edge screen."

3. Tap "Edge panels" to see the list of available panels.

4. The first one — Apps edge — is probably already enabled. Tap "Smart select" to make sure it is enabled as well.

Once you've turned it on, here's how to capture a portion of the screen with the Edge panel:

1. Set up the screen with the content you want to capture.

2. Swipe from the right edge of the screen towards the left, above the halfway point of the screen. If you are on the phone's home page, that would be above the Google Assistant search box. On any other screen, just swipe high enough on the screen that you're above the midpoint.

3. Swipe until you see the Smart select options. If you have more than one panel activated, you might need to swipe a few times.

4. When you see the Smart select panel, tap the tool you want, such as the rectangle.

5. Position and resize the selection on the screen, and then tap "Done."

6. When you are ready, tap the Save button at the bottom of the screen (it's a downward-pointing arrow) to save the selection to the Gallery.

How to take a scrolling capture of the Galaxy S10 screen

When you take a full screenshot using any of the methods above — using the buttons, your palm, or Bixby — you can tweak the screenshot before you save it using the screenshot toolstrip that appears at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. Perhaps the most powerful feature in the toolstrip is the scrolling capture button, which lets you take screenshot of web pages that are much longer than the phone's display.

1. Set up the screen with the content you want to capture, such as a web page.

2. Take the screenshot using the buttons, palm, or Bixby method.

3. When the toolstrip appears, tap the scrolling capture button to extends the length of the screenshot. Every time you tap the button, it adds extra length of the bottom of the screenshot, so you can tap it repeatedly for a very long page.

There are other options in the toolstrip, including a crop button, an annotation button (so you can draw on the screenshot), and a share button.

NOW WATCH: We tried a fermentation-tracking device and highly recommend it to find out which foods are making you bloated

• Emile Lee is a senior executive with more than 20 years of experience in international communications.
• When he was offered a job in South Korea right out of college, he said yes — ignoring many red flags.
• After regret quickly set in, he thought he had made the worst mistake of his life, but three things helped him make the best of a tough situation.
• For instance, he chose to 'embrace the suck' and adjust to norms that were different from my own, and by doing so was able to stumble upon business truths he never could have learned in a classroom.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

I was offered a job in South Korea right out of college to help a company grow relationships with key international stakeholders. I said "yes" without hesitation. After all, what could go wrong?

Back then, I hadn't developed my "spidey sense." I ignored glaring red flags, including that I was recruited over the phone for a position in Seoul that required me to network with Japanese professionals. Never mind that I didn't speak Japanese or Korean, despite my Korean heritage. To cap off the warnings, my degree was in political science, not management or international business.

Riding real life — and real regrets — into the sunset

Certainly, I was in an uncomfortable situation. I knew that. Without family or friends, I was stuck halfway around the world without a support structure to lean on. However, I had the power to completely transform the situation by flipping my mental state from shock to empowerment.

Consequently, I turned my biggest regret (or so it seemed) into a serendipitous decision by making some bold, deliberate moves. Here's how you can turn a bad situation into a positive turning point in your career:

1. Embrace the suck

2. Use positive self-talk to open yourself up to risks and change

Although it sounds trite, I literally got my mojo going again with some old-fashioned self-talk (sometimes in the mirror). After taking stock of my potential strengths and weaknesses, as well as looking at other career paths, my confidence improved. I became open to trying new things, even if I repeatedly failed.

Read more:  A 35-year-old CEO who sold his first startup for $1 billion says he relied on alcohol for years to escape facing his life. Here's why he's giving it up permanently.

At that time, I saw a recruiting ad in an English-language newspaper for a PR agency. The organization wanted native English speakers to manage multinational clients. Armed with a degree that had nothing to do with communications and a bank account with dwindling funds, I didn't have the qualifications — or even the means to earn those qualifications at a college. But I didn't let that stop me from getting foundational knowledge. I researched corporate PR and communications topics online and in books.

I built my proficiency so I could completely change careers and land the job — which I ultimately did. Once in the role, I redoubled my efforts to become a master at my burgeoning professional path. Looking back, I can see how my openness to change has paid off tenfold.

3. Seek out mentors and internal champions

After joining the Seoul PR firm, I sought out people who were willing to spend time and energy teaching me the skills I needed to make smart choices. In time, those connections also helped me land a job with an international PR agency, the next step in my career.

I'm convinced that you can never have too many mentors or internal champions within your organization. My mentors have encouraged and coached me, ultimately making me a better leader and human being. It's tough to navigate corporate dynamics and politics alone; when you have mentors, you don't need to.

Be sure to look beyond your areas of expertise for people who will help you grow. You'll learn more if your mentors come from diverse backgrounds. For instance, my mentors not only hail from China, Australia, Singapore, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Brazil, and the United States, but they also come from finance, sales, marketing, operations, human resources, and technology.

My move to Korea opened the door to an industry I would likely never have entertained had I stayed in Canada. Because of the two years I spent there, I've had a career that's taken me to four different countries and allowed me to apply my trade at startups and Fortune 100 companies alike.

While I originally regretted my choice to move to Seoul, it wasn't a mistake. Not only did I find a career that I'm passionate about, but I also met my future wife. It was good fortune. Because of a knee-jerk decision as a wet-behind-the-ears university graduate, I began an amazing experience that is still continuing to this day. Those early experiences grounded my thinking and outlook — all because I zigged when so many others would have zagged.

NOW WATCH: This Silicon Valley founder went from being 'really broke' to starting a VC fund that's invested $5 million in 100 companies

• Google's Stadia is an upcoming video game streaming platform that will deliver many of the year's latest video games at 4K resolution with responsive controls.
• While PC Gamers often invest $1,000 or more to build a computer that's capable of playing games in 4K, Stadia Pro will offer players the same level of visual quality for $10 per month.
• Of course, owning your powerful PC has benefits beyond of playing games, but services like Stadia will make it easier for more people to experience top notch games with premium settings.

For decades, high-end PC gaming has been a relatively exclusive club reserved for the those willing to invest $1,000 or more in building an expensive computer. The term "PC Master Race" has become a running joke in the realm of online gaming, referring to the class of hardcore gamers who celebrate the superiority of their customized computers over ordinary video game consoles.

But as the years have gone on, the line between high-end PCs and powerful gaming consoles have become blurred and the most popular games are developed with both communities in mind. Now, thanks to constantly evolving cloud technology, companies like Google and Microsoft are ready to offer streaming video games with the same high fidelity graphics that gamers expect from a PC, but without the costly investment in hardware.

Google's Stadia will launch this November and promises 4K visuals for popular PC games like "Doom," "Tomb Raider," and "Assassin's Creed." Players will have to fork over $10 per month for Stadia Pro to get full access to 4K streaming, but Stadia will also offer 1080p streaming for free starting next year. Again, this means that gamers using Stadia wont need to invest $500 in a new console or more than $1,000 in a new PC to see the best possible graphics from their favorite games. 

Of course, PC gamers have access to hundreds of millions of games, while Stadia users will be limited to about 30 titles when the service launches. Similarly, if you've already invested in a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, rebuilding your collection of games on Stadia probably isn't worth it for the small upgrade in graphical quality. Those home consoles also have exclusive games that aren't available on Stadia or PC.

Read more:Google just detailed Stadia, its ambitious attempt to upend the video-game industry and take on Xbox and PlayStation. Here's everything we know so far.

That said, Stadia has the support of major video game publishers and will become a regular destination for newly released games in the future. Google is also planning to develop its own exclusive titles for Stadia, but they wont be ready until later in 2020.

Buying and playing games on Stadia will require only a controller, an internet connection, and a computer capable of running Google Chrome. Google will also stream Stadia games to the Chromecast, and their Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a smartphones as well. Stadia plans to add the service to more mobile devices in the future.

While Stadia is a convenient home solution, it also sacrifices much of the flexibility that comes with a powerful PC or standard console. You won't be able to trade-in your old game discs or lend them to a friend anf you wont be able to customize your games with modifications, an important caveat for many PC gamers. And because Stadia is a cloud service, you wont be able to access your games at all if you're offline, a far cry from the portable fun of the Nintendo Switch.

Streaming at 4K resolution via Stadia will require a strong and stable internet connection; Google recommends a 35 Mbps download for playing in 4K. Streaming at that quality will also use about 15 GB of data per hour, so players will have to be mindful if their internet service comes with a data cap.

Ultimately, with the technological breakthroughs of streaming services like Stadia and Microsoft's Project xCloud, hardcore gaming will gradually become less about how much money you invest in your machine, and more about how much time you invest in your favorite games.

NOW WATCH: 9 simple ways to protect your data that don't take much time, but could have huge security benefits

• Your iPhone will automatically trust any app downloaded via the App Store, as they have been evaluated and verified as safe by Apple.
• Third party apps offered for download from other sources will require you to go through a multistep process before your iPhone will "trust" the apps and allow you to use them.
• Be cautious when installing any app not downloaded via the App Store, even if you know its source, as an app can compromise your files and personal information, and even corrupt your iPhone.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

When you download an app from the Apple App Store, your iPhone won't think twice about trusting the app. Once you use your password, Touch ID, or Face ID, the phone will let you install, open, and use the app, because anything available for download from the App Store has already been thoroughly vetted by Apple.

If you want to use an app from any source other than the App Store, however, your phone is programmed not to trust it, and will not allow you to use it until you manually trust the app after a multistep process.

These apps might come from your company that wants employees to use proprietary software, or from gaming or media companies not affiliated with Apple. Or perhaps you have agreed to test out an app for a friend who just developed it.

Whatever your reason for trusting an app on your iPhone, as long as you're confident it's not a Trojan horse that will compromise and corrupt your phone, the process is pretty easy.

How to trust an app on an iPhone

1. Download the app, as long as you think you can trust it.

2. A message will pop up calling the app's developer "Untrusted" and saying that the app cannot be used on your iPhone. Hit "Cancel" to clear the message.

3. Launch the Settings app and go to the "General" tab.

4. Scroll to and tap the "Profiles" tab, which might be called "Device Management."

5. Under a section titled "ENTERPRISE APP" you will see the untrusted app in question. Tap it.

6. On the next page, hit the words "Trust Name of App.."

7. Confirm your choice, and if prompted hit the words "Verify App" to confirm your confirmation.

You can now go back to the home screen where the app icon is displayed and launch it just as you would with any app downloaded from the App Store.

NOW WATCH: We compared the $200 Scuf Vantage PlayStation controller to the $25 EasySMX controller — and the winner was clear

• You can add a wireless printer to your iPhone with just a few quick taps to print photos, emails, spreadsheets, and other documents.
• The AirPrint feature makes wireless printing from iPhone easy, without any other software required.
• Wireless printers that do not support AirPrint can usually still be used remotely when you download the right app to your phone.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Wireless printing is one of the coolest, most convenient functions offered by an iPhone. Without ever getting up from your desk or couch, you can print out pictures, webpages, emails, documents, and more; once your phone and printer are properly configured, all wireless printing requires are a few quick taps on the screen.

If you have a printer that supports AirPrint, then printing from an iPhone is a walk in the park — and these days, many printers offer AiPrint compatibility. If your printer doesn't recognize AirPrint but does have Wi-Fi print capabilities, you'll still probably be able to print remotely from a phone using an associated third-party app.

How to add an AirPrint printer to an iPhone and print from it

1. Make sure both the printer and your phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. Open the file (picture, note, etc.) to be printed on your iPhone.

3. Tap the "Share" icon, which is a box with an arrow pointing upward out of it.

4. Select "Print" on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

5. Tap "Select Printer" to find any AirPrint enabled printers nearby, and tap your chosen device.

6. Tap "Options" if you want to change the settings (color or black-and-white, and double-sided or single).

7. Select "Print."

The AirPrint enabled printer will now be added to your list of preferred devices and will come up as an option for printing whenever in range.

How to print from iPhone with a printer that doesn't have AirPrint

1. Ensure both your phone and the printer are using the same Wi-Fi network before you begin.

2. Download the app associated with your printer; it should be named in the literature that came with the printer, or you can find it through a quick Google search.

3. Launch the app, then go to its settings to configure the printer.

4. Now open your iPhone's Settings app and go to the Wi-Fi tab.

5. Locate the printer under the words "CHOOSE A NETWORK" and select it.

You should now be able to print wirelessly using the printer's app. Just remember to switch back to your actual preferred Wi-Fi network once you have printed, so you can use your phone normally.

NOW WATCH: We had our earbuds tested for bacteria to find out if it's gross to share headphones

Insider Picks writes about products and services to help you navigate when shopping online. Insider, Inc. receives a commission from our affiliate partners when you buy through our links, but our reporting and recommendations are always independent and objective.

• Instead of haggling with a store clerk for a pair of generic eyeglasses, take your prescription eyewear shopping online. 
• EyeBuyDirect, Zenni, Warby Parker, Felix Gray, GlassesUSA, and Eyeconic are making it easy and affordable to find a pair of stylish prescription glasses and sunglasses. 
• Some accept insurance, while all accept FSA and HSA dollars to help bring down the cost of your glasses.
• A couple also have virtual try-on options so you really never have to step into a physical store again. 

I remember visiting the optometrist's office as a kid, emerging from my eye exam to peruse the books of gorgeous glasses-donning models with furrowed brows — as if I could afford those frames then or even now as an adult. 

Traditional optometrist offices and glasses retailers tend to overcharge or upsell you on their frames, but it's easier to skirt this awkward and painfully expensive process today. Grab your prescription and go to your laptop or phone instead. There are now many online glasses retailers that can provide a seamless, convenient, and affordable shopping experience. 

As a glasses-wearer, you probably often feel like you're being punished for not having perfect vision, but these retailers will make you enjoy shopping for glasses again. They offer a large variety of frames, from the classic to the quirky; are able to accommodate for all different types of lenses; and even throw in a nice discount now and then. 

Some other things to take into consideration when shopping online for glasses are whether the retailer accepts insurance and FSA/HSA dollars, offers a virtual try-on option (and if not, whether it has a generous return and exchange policy), and has kids' styles if you want to shop for the whole family. 

Learn more about the six best places to buy glasses online:

EyeBuyDirect

Shop glasses at EyeBuyDirect here

Types of prescription eyewear you can shop at EyeBuyDirect:

• Eyeglasses for men ($6-$70), women ($6-$70), and children ($12-$29)
• Sunglasses for men ($19-$70) and women ($19-$70) 
• Blue light glasses in EBDBlue ($25-$89) and SightRelax ($35-$99) 

Why you should shop at EyeBuyDirect: Not only are EyeBuyDirect's frames incredibly affordable, but they're also really stylish, so you never feel like you have to decide between your wallet and your look. They're made from metal and premium acetate and hold up well, and since they're so inexpensive, you can get multiple pairs if you tire of wearing the same frames every day. Lenses start at just $7, and available options include single-vision distance, reading lenses, Transition lenses, progressives, and bifocals. 

Virtual try-on option: No. But you can see its guides for how to pick glasses for your face shape and how to take frame measurements. It has a 14-day free exchange and return policy. 

Insurance and other programs: Does not accept insurance but can provide you with the information necessary for a reimbursement. It does accept FSA and HSA dollars for prescription eyewear and sunglasses purchases.  

Zenni

Why you should shop at Zenni: Similarly affordable is Zenni Optical, where it's easy to shop by style, face shape, and collection. You can also find specialty frames such as Sports Glasses and Goggles, so the range of options is truly diverse. It's a great place to shop for the whole family because it separates the kids section further into little kid, pre-teen, and teen categories. Its resource library of guides is robust and demystifies all your questions about the costs of wearing glasses, why you might want to consider progressives, and many more topics. 

Virtual try-on option: Yes. Use Zenni's video capture tool to get a 180-degree view of how the frames will look on you. It has a 30-day return policy where you can get 50% back directly or 100% back in store credit.

Warby Parker

Shop glasses at Warby Parker here

• Sunglasses for men ($95-$145) and women ($95-$145) 
• Blue light blocking can be added to any of the lenses

Why you should shop at Warby Parker: All of Warby Parker's frames cost $95 and include the price of the lens (if you get the classic, non-blue light and non-light responsive ones). This does make them pricier than other online glasses brands, but you do get the benefit of free Home Try-On, a large variety of on-trend styles to choose from, and the opportunity to visit a physical Warby Parker location near you. In addition, the company gives a pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair purchased. 

Virtual try-on option: No. Instead, Warby Parker has a Home Try-On program where you can pick out five frames to have sent to your house for free. You have five days to try them and decide which to keep. Send them all back and Warby will send you a fresh pair. It has a 30-day free return and exchange policy. 

Insurance and other programs: Accepts insurance from major providers, including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Anthem, etc. If your provider is not listed, you will need to contact your insurance company directly for reimbursement. Check your vision benefits here.

 Shop glasses at Felix Gray here

Types of prescription eyewear you can shop at Felix Gray: 

• Eyeglasses for men ($145) and women ($145)
• Sleep glasses for men ($145) and women ($145) 

Why you should shop at Felix Gray: Felix Gray started primarily as a computer glasses company, highlighting the negative effects of our increasingly digital world. All of its glasses contain a blue light filter to provide relief from the harsh light of our computer and phone screens. If you already know you want blue light glasses, Felix Gray is probably the most convenient place to get them since it bundles the feature directly into all its prescription glasses options. 

Virtual try-on option: No. Check Felix Gray's Fit Guide to see which pair will look best. It has a 30-day free return and exchange policy. 

Insurance and other programs: Does not accept insurance but can provide you with the information necessary for a reimbursement. It does accept FSA and HSA dollars for prescription eyewear and sunglasses purchases.

• Blue light glasses ($53-$200+) 

Why you should shop at GlassesUSA: GlassesUSA is the largest online eyewear retailer, operating in over 92 countries, and selling both designer and in-house brands. Though prices can run into the hundreds and even thousands because of the designer leaning, it often runs sales and promotions (and we also have some Business Insider promo codes for you here), which can help you save on a sleek new pair of glasses. There are multiple ways to give your prescription information: You can fill it out online, upload it, have your doctor send it directly to the site, or use previously saved information.

NOW WATCH: Mount Everest is not the hardest mountain to climb — here's what makes K2 so much worse

• You can forward text messages from your iPhone to other devices connected to your Apple account to help you stay on top of your text conversations at all times.
• Setting up text message forwarding on an iPhone only takes a minute, and it can be switched off in a matter of seconds should you ever want to do so.
• Connecting your iPhone and your computer or iPad's Messages app allows you to send texts even if your phone is missing or out of battery.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Even a few short years ago, the idea of getting text messages on your computer or tablet might have seemed a bit odd. Texts were for phones, and were usually for casual chats with friends and family, while computers were more often used for work or for school.

Today, it's entirely acceptable for colleagues to use texts to discuss business matters, for a contractor and homeowner to work out the details of a project via text, and for liaising with anyone from a hairdresser to a doctor's office.

Thus the ability to send and receive text messages from a computer or tablet is more than novelty; it's quite convenient and can even ensure you don't miss an important text. And should you ever lose your iPhone, or if your phone is out of battery when you're expecting a critical message, you'll be happy you had the foresight to set up text message forwarding on your iPhone.

However, any device you want to forward texts to needs to share an Apple ID with you. So you can't forward texts to any random phone or iPad— you'll need to log into your Apple ID account first.

How to set up text message forwarding on an iPhone

1. Open the Messages app on the device (computer or iPad, e.g.) you want to link to your phone.

2. Sign into your Apple ID account, and wait for a text message with a confirmation code.

3. On your iPhone, open the Settings app and go to the "Messages" tab.

4. Tap the words "Text Message Forwarding."

5. On the next screen, tap the button beside the device where you set up Messages ("Your Name's MacBook Pro," for example) so it toggles to green.

Texts sent to your phone will now also be shared with the device(s) you have allowed. You can send and receive texts there, and can disable the forwarding by simply toggling that button under "Text Message Forwarding" off again.

And note that if you don't see a "Text Message Forwarding" tab, you need to complete two quick steps. First, at the top of the Messages screen, toggle "iMessage" off then on again. Then hit the tab that says "Send & Receive" and tap your Apple ID, making sure it is signed in.

• Your iPhone screen is naturally resistant to water and oils, and should not require frequent cleaning, though occasional cleaning will improve the clarity of the screen and the function of the phone.
• Always use a clean lint-free and dye-free cloth when cleaning an iPhone screen, and avoid using paper towels, napkins, or tissues.
• Never use cleaners such as Windex or Lysol on an iPhone screen, as these and other products will break down the oil-resistant coating and can shorten the working life of the phone.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

On a microbial level, your iPhone screen is probably dirtier than most toilet seats. Which is gross, to be sure, but most microbes aren't out to get you, so don't sweat what you can't see too much. And your iPhone is resistant to most oils, so you shouldn't worry about smudging it up so much it stops working.

But once the dirt, smudges, and smears start blurring your screen and slowing down your iPhone, it's time to clean the screen.

Before we talk about how to clean an iPhone screen, let's talk about what you shouldn't use: cleaners. Don't use Windex, vinegar, Lysol, soap, or any other cleaning product, as they will break down the oleophobic (oil-resistant) coating on the screen, leaving the device much more susceptible to future damage. Also never use compressed air on an iPhone.

If your screen is dirty enough and is covered by a screen protector, consider simply replacing the protector. Otherwise, here is how you clean iPhone screens. Note that this method is primarily intended for use with the waterproof iPhone 7 and later.

How to clean an iPhone screen

1. Unplug any cables connected to the phone.

2. Power off the iPhone and remove it from its case.

3. Using a clean lint-free and dye-free cloth (think a white T-shirt) that is lightly dampened with water only, gently stroke along the surface of the screen in straight, short motions.

If you feel the need to disinfect the phone, make a solution of 50% water, 50% isopropyl alcohol, and use that to lightly moisten the cloth instead.

And for the record, the cleaning method described here can be applied to older iPhones, too. Just be extremely cautious around the headphone jack, which is the most likely entry point for moisture and dust.
