If you're invested in the metaverse, Samsung will let you watch its upcoming Unpacked event in virtual reality. The company will let you watch the event at 837X, a recreation of its flagship New York City store location within the virtual reality platform Decentraland.

As Engadget pointed out, Samsung hasn't made any recent advancements in the VR space. In fact, it announced plans to retire its Gear VR headset back in December without plans for a replacement. So, we aren't sure what benefits you'll have from watching the Unpacked event on Wednesday in virtual reality. But, if you just wanted to catch the event differently, you have that option.

Apple Music cuts down free trial to a month

For as long as Apple Music has been around, the streaming service offered first-time subscribers three months of free use. But it looks like that has changed. The company quietly shortened the free trial period to a month. We've checked the Canadian portal, and it already states that "One month free, then $9.99/month."

There don't seem to be any pricing changes yet. So, if you're already a subscriber, you don't have to worry about paying extra. If you're trying out the service for the first time, unfortunately, you don't have as much time to enjoy the features for free until you have to pay.

If the reports are accurate, Apple might be ready to bring 5G to the iPhone SE. Bloomberg claims the company plans to hold a March 8 spring event to launch the more affordable iPhone SE with 5G support alongside a refreshed iPad Air with a new CPU and 5G support for the cellular-equipped option. We can supposedly expect a faster chip, improved cameras, and a look similar to the 2020 iPhone SE. If that gets the A15 processor and 5G, it could be a great value iPhone to have. It isn't clear what will happen to Touch ID, but there probably won't be any changes on that front without any design updates.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports we should get a new version of iOS with mask-friendly facial recognition support this March on iPhones and iPads that use Face ID. The update could also add new emojis and the highly anticipated Universal Control feature that connects a single keyboard and mouse setup across different Macs and iPads.
