In honour of Sneaky Sasquatch's birthday, Apple Messages gets 11 new birthday-themed stickers you can spam your fellow fans of the game. You don't need a new sticker pack, since Apple added these to the existing Sneaky Sasquatch set.

Sneaky Sasquatch is temporarily taking over the world of Subway Surfers+ and bringing with it the look and feel of the open-world Apple Arcade game. You get access to four character skins and two hoverboards through October 7. You also get to dash through a reimagined level that looks like Sasquatch Valley locations and earn raccoon coins instead of the classic gold ones. The guard chasing after you is now dressed as a ranger.

If you need more power from your Macs, Apple also refreshed its Mac Studio line to run on the new M5 Ultra or the M5 Max processors. With the M5 Ultra, Apple claims up to 4.3 times "peak AI compute performance of M3 Ultra." It's configurable to a CPU with up to 36 cores and a GPU with up to 80 cores. At launch, you can get up to 256GB of RAM, but Apple will later offer the option to upgrade to 512GB.

Spotify is making it easier to have your running playlist up and, well, running with its new feature. The Running Mode is launching for Premium users using Android devices in Canada, the US, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden. It is available in Spotify's Fitness hub, where you can choose from 25 presets covering different workouts or genres. You can start things like a Just Run session playlist or choose one to suit your training routine, like picking intervals, pyramid workouts, longer sessions, etc. The workout duration can be tweaked between 10 and 90 minutes.
Of course, you can also choose the genre to listen to and decide whether Spotify will introduce familiar tracks or throw in discoveries. Since the mode uses Spotify's Prompted Playlist feature, you can edit the prompt to generate a playlist that suits your taste. For example, you can change it up to play tracks you haven't listened to in a while or to add music that isn't longer than three minutes. The playlist will refresh every day, but you can save the music you want to be used for another run.
