New York – October 16, 2026 -- Only 47% of American adults surveyed agree that mothers with children feel supported by those around them, according to new findings released alongside March of Dimes' 2026 Collective events in New York and Los Angeles.

Few respondents see moms getting time or help

The survey points to gaps in everyday support. Just 42% of respondents agree that mothers have opportunities to take time for themselves, and 41% agree that mothers have help caring for their children.

Awareness of mental health resources is lower still. Only 28% say they are confident that most mothers experiencing mental health challenges after childbirth know where to seek help.

Los Angeles – October 16, 2026 -- MagBak has opened pre-orders for the MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo, an $89 case designed for the first folding Apple phone, with new orders expected to ship in mid-November. Initial pre-orders have already sold out twice.

A foldable changes shape dozens of times a day, and the case is built around that. Ronny I., MagBak's head of product, said the aim was a case that works across multiple form factors, whether the phone is open or folded.

A kickstand and finger loop work in both open and folded modes

The built-in metal kickstand supports portrait or landscape use, folded or unfolded, and clicks away when not in use. A silicone finger loop makes one-handed and two-handed use more stable, extends how much of the screen a thumb can reach, retracts when not in use, and does not interfere with charging. Grip grooves along the edge make the case easier to open.

Los Angeles – October 16, 2026 -- Peptide Tracker, a free app for logging peptide protocols, now lets users record symptoms and see which doses they took on the days those symptoms appeared, with version 2.25.0 available on the App Store and Google Play.

Symptoms and doses appear side by side

From Symptoms on the Today screen, users can pick a symptom from a list or describe it in their own words. They then tap the days they noticed it, rate how much it got in the way, and add an optional note.

Tapping any logged symptom shows the doses taken on the days it appeared. Entries can be edited or deleted.

Co-Founder and CEO Kev Miller said the aim is for people to bring real notes, rather than fuzzy memories, to conversations with their providers.
