Apple is reportedly exploring a new type of aluminum manufacturing process that could reshape how its smartwatches are built. According to a recent report, the company is experimenting with advanced techniques such as 3D-printing aluminum components for future Apple Watch models. The move signals a broader shift in how Apple designs and manufactures its devices, potentially improving efficiency, durability, and sustainability in the process. A new direction for Apple Watch materials Apple has long relied on aluminum as one of the primary materials for its mainstream smartwatch lineup. However, the company is now investigating ways to use additive manufacturing –…

The newly introduced MacBook Neo is not the MacBook people expected. It’s not chasing raw performance, and it’s certainly not trying to replace machines like the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Rather, Apple seems to have built something simpler: a genuine Mac experience on a budget. At $599, the MacBook Neo is Apple’s most accessible laptop in years. And yes, its chip is faster than the ageing Apple M1. That’s not exactly a flex since the M1 is a six-year-old chip at this point. But performance isn’t really the point of this machine. The MacBook Neo is about getting the…

On today’s episode of You Asked: What’s on the way from Sony to replace the Bravia 9, and should you still consider buying one in 2026 versus more recent competition? And why does picture quality take a dip in game mode? What’s replacing the Sony Bravia 9 in 2026? @willgatlin8229 asks: What’s taking the Sony Bravia 9’s place in 2026? That would be whatever Sony has up their sleeve for their RGB backlit TV. The term OLED killer gets thrown around a lot, and who knows if this could fit that description, but I’d bet it’ll be among the top…

The console war that defined the past two decades appears to have a clear winner. Sony’s PlayStation brand continues to dominate global console sales, while Xbox has struggled to match that momentum. But instead of fighting the same war again, Microsoft might be doing something entirely different. It is changing the battlefield. The company recently confirmed that its next-generation console is codenamed Project Helix, and the reveal hints at a much bigger shift in how Xbox could be positioned going forward. It’s not just a console anymore; Xbox is a platform. Rebuilding Xbox from the ground up as a hybrid…

If BYD’s “Disruptive Technology” event on March 5 was meant to rattle the EV industry, it probably worked. The Chinese automaker unveiled the Blade Battery 2.0 — a second-generation lithium iron phosphate pack that takes direct aim at two of the biggest frustrations with electric vehicles: how far they go and how long they take to charge. BYD’s battery leap: More range, less time at the plug Over 1,000 km on China’s CLTC test cycle sounds like marketing until you translate it — that’s roughly 725 km on the US EPA scale and around 900 km on WLTP. To put…

For most of gaming history, the deal between players and technology was refreshingly simple: save up, buy a machine, install a game, and that experience was yours for as long as the hardware kept breathing. Old consoles might collect dust, but they still booted up when nostalgia struck. A five-year-old gaming PC might wheeze at the latest AAA release, but it could still run older favorites just fine. Ownership wasn’t just a technical detail, but was part of gaming culture itself, whether that meant shelves stacked with discs or a lovingly assembled PC rig with mismatched RGB fans and a…

Sony appears to be experimenting with dynamic pricing on the PlayStation Store, a system that could show different prices for the same game depending on the user. Reports from pricing tracker PSPrices suggest the company has been running A/B tests affecting more than 150 games across 68 regions. Interestingly, the tests reportedly started in late 2025 and have gradually expanded since then. Under the experiment, players may see slightly different discounts for the same title, sometimes by as much as 17%, depending on which group their account falls into. The screenshot everyone is talking about The discussion around dynamic pricing…

Apple says its newly launched MacBook Neo is the company’s most environmentally sustainable product so far, incorporating more recycled materials than any previous Apple device. The claim was highlighted by Molly Anderson, Apple’s vice president of industrial design, in a recent interview discussing how the company approached designing its newest entry-level laptop. Apple’s Sustainability Push With MacBook Neo Apple introduced the MacBook Neo earlier in March as its most affordable laptop yet, starting at $599, with a discounted $499 price for students. The device targets first-time Mac buyers, students, and everyday users who need a capable laptop for tasks such…

Rumors about the PlayStation 6 being delayed due to rising component costs may have been exaggerated. According to well-known hardware insider Moore’s Law Is Dead, Sony is unlikely to push back the launch of its next-generation console, even as RAM prices climb across the industry. The concern stems from what some analysts have dubbed a “RAMmageddon,” where demand for memory chips, driven heavily by AI infrastructure, is pushing prices higher across the tech industry. Some earlier reports suggested the situation could delay next-generation consoles until 2028 or even 2029. But Moore’s Law Is Dead argues that delaying the PS6 would…

HUAWEI has returned this year with one of its greatest performance-centric smartwatch series; HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2. Seamlessly running with both Android and iOS and engineered especially for fitness enthusiasts, marathoners, and runners who have looked for rich tracking metrics with longer battery life, all within a lightweight design. Simply put, it’s the star of 2026 smartwatches. Regular smartwatches already do the job of tracking activities, but this one really blends years-long expertise of HUAWEI in their wearables into a single device that might be the rival to the best GPS smartwatches on the market right now. Differences are…
