Apple is launching more than 15 new products this fall, including the Apple Watch Ultra 4. And a new report highlights two major upgrades coming with the Apple Watch Ultra 4. Apple Watch Ultra 4 will get a ‘major overhaul’ and significant sensor upgrades Last summer, Digitimes reported the first details regarding what will happen with the Apple Watch Ultra 4. It indicated that there would be design “tweaks”, a doubling of the number of sensors and much better power efficiency. Since then, however, there has been surprisingly little news about the new model. But today, almost a year after…

Sony’s latest noise-cancelling headphones have been leaked. Images of the 10th anniversary models, called 1000X “The Collexion”, were shared online today by On leaks. They are expected to launch tomorrow, just a year after the company’s WH-1000XM6 series. From what we can see based on the leaked materials, the changes are largely design-based. The new cans have thicker leatherette padding than their predecessors, as well as larger earcups, while the buttons are more separated and the microphone grills provide more breathing room. But it’s the stems of the headband that stand out. Depending on color choice, they are gloss black…
Lenscap67/Getty Images Not all consumer technology innovations stand the test of time. Rather, there is an argument that most new “cutting edge” gadgets end up becoming obsolete and obsolete fairly quickly as consumers decide which tools they will or will not use consistently. So a quick look at gadgets from the past few years (and decades) reveals a shortage of consumer tech products that most people no longer use. Many items from the 2000s that were touted as “the next big thing” have become nothing more than nostalgia artifacts. The…
Every time the new Siri Finally When it launches, it will be the most privacy-friendly AI chatbot, with an additional privacy feature reported yesterday. We already knew that Apple’s deal with Google would mean that Siri would not be allowed to be used to train the Gemini model, and Bloomberg now reports an option to automatically delete our Siri conversations… Although the new Siri is powered by Google’s Gemini, it will not run on Google’s servers. Apple said it would instead run AI functions on-device where possible and the Gemini model on its own Private Cloud Compute servers if necessary.…

Buying home security on a budget shouldn’t mean you don’t have access to reliable monitoring from recognizable brands. Devices like video doorbells are your first line of defense against porch pirates and unreliable couriers, and many of these front door cameras are packed with features and settings. Unfortunately, more features often translate to higher prices, which is why many video doorbells cost more than $50. Believe it or not, though, you can get your hands on a few…

Apple wants users to reexamine their use of the generative Genmoji in iOS 27, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman. Genmoji is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you use AI to generate brand-new emoji characters based on text input. The entire Genmoji generation happens directly on the device, but the feature has had a rocky ride. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman claims that the images generated often looked nothing like Apple’s polished marketing examples, and that the underlying models were demanding enough to heat up iPhones and drain their batteries. Apple has apparently made changes to prevent this…

A single raid recovered 4,000 iPhones worth between $8 million and $9 million, with the New Hampshire-based operation even involving a murder. The sophisticated operation began by stealing Apple gift cards from retail outlets before they were tampered with and then replaced in stores. The moral of the story is to only buy cards directly from Apple stores… Macmonde summarized a story reported by RPSN. The New Hampshire operation began with the theft of Apple gift cards from retail locations. The cards were carefully opened so…
Apple in iOS 27 will include an improved Siri with a dedicated app that gives users the ability to keep conversations in memory for a limited time, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman. In its latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says Apple wants to market its privacy information as a key advantage in how it implements AI in its software over its competitors. Aware of the perception that it has fallen behind other companies in the race to integrate AI into its operating systems, Apple will rely on privacy as a central part of its approach – starting by offering users…
