Apple has been on a full-blown color spree ever since the iPhone 17 series dropped, and honestly, I’m still trying to process it. A bright orange iPhone? That’s not something you’d expect in an era obsessed with muted tones and minimalism. It feels bold, a little rebellious even. And every time I see it, I can’t help but wonder: who is this really for? But then again, I have seen people confidently rocking that color in the wild, and that answers the question better than anything else. Maybe that’s exactly the point. What’s even more fascinating is that this playful streak doesn’t…
Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned a reputation for being creepy, with growing backlash over reports of users secretly recording people in public. Swedish journalists found that Meta moderators had reviewed intimate footage captured through the glasses, including people using the toilet and having sex. Meta responded that it takes data protection seriously and that footage stays on a user’s device unless they choose to share it. Reports of the company’s plans to implement facial recognition haven’t helped either. But here’s the thing – the same glasses are also quietly changing lives in ways that are hard to argue with.…
Samsung’s TVs have been steadily getting better each year, but 2026 feels like a proper design rethink rather than just a spec bump. Having already upgraded its MiniLED TV lineup and the Frame TV lineup for 2026, it’s time for OLED TVs this time around. The company’s latest lineup introduces a noticeably more premium, almost “art-piece” approach, paired with meaningful upgrades to brightness and glare handling. And while that might sound like a small tweak on paper, it could actually change how these TVs perform in real living rooms. What’s new with Samsung’s 2026 OLED TVs? At the center of…
Collecting and celebrating older video games can be a challenging pursuit. Compilations that do so must balance the desire to preserve the original intent and structure of the games presented, while making them palatable and enjoyable to experience today. Marvel Maximum Collection mostly hits the mark, supplying fans a look at some of the most memorable and important comic book games of the ‘80s and ‘90s, and showcasing how Marvel’s position as a pop-culture juggernaut predated terms like the MCU. These are lovingly recreated games from yesteryear, and the inclusion of several quality-of-life features makes them more approachable. But are…
Samsung has officially announced its 2026 The Frame lineup, and the most unexpected part is not a new AI feature or another design tweak. It is the fact that the 2026 The Frame Pro is cheaper than last year’s model across the same sizes. This is not something you see often, especially in premium TV refreshes. Why this is a better deal The Frame Pro starts at $1,999.99 for the 65-inch model, while the 75-inch model costs $2,799.99. The top-of-the-line 85-inch variant has a hefty $3,999.99 price tag. In comparison, last year’s Frame starts from $2,199 for the 65-inch model,…
Indie games have always had a discoverability problem. They spike on launch, then quietly disappear into the storefront void. Indie.io, an independent game publisher and platform, aims to address this issue. The company is launching Indie Pass, a subscription service built exclusively for indie titles, at $6.99 a month. It goes live on April 13 with over 70 games ready to play on PC. To put that price in perspective, Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate runs $30 a month. Indie Pass is a fraction of that, and it’s focused on a very specific kind of game. According to Indie.io’s Director of…
