Apple was expected to launch AirPods Max 2 at its September event, however, that did not happen. Instead, it introduced a refreshed version of the original AirPods Max headphones with a USB Type-C port replacing the proprietary Lightning port, in line with the company’s other devices. However, the Cupertino-based tech giant does not have plans to introduce a big revamp to its over-ear headphones due to relatively low sales of the device, according to a report.No Plans for Refreshed AirPods MaxBloomberg analyst Mark Gurman detailed the rumours surrounding Apple AirPods Max in the latest edition of the Power On newsletter.…

Apple’s 2024 launch slate has been pretty stacked across the board. From flagship iPads rocking a generation-first desktop processor ahead of Macs and diversifying the AirPods TWS lineup even further to reimagining the Mac Mini, Apple didn’t leave fans disappointed. The only weak link, so to speak, was the top-of-the-line Max headphones. Instead of a meaningful hardware refresh for the otherwise highly anticipated successor, what fans got was a color revamp and a USB-C port. Unfortunately, it looks like a true refresh is still a bit further into the future. In the latest edition of his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark…
A couple of months ago, I took the plunge and built a Plex server. And now, I’m taking it to the next level. I’ve canceled my streaming services, compiled my physical media, and organized it all with the proper data on my server, but I’ve faced two major issues — slow speeds and limited storage space. With the Terra Master F8 SSD Plus, both problems have been solved. I’m not going to cover all of my trials and tribulations building my first Plex server, nor the various ways you can set up your own — we have a guide on…
SpaceX could be targeting as many as 25 launches of its Starship rocket for 2025 as it readies the massive vehicle for crew and cargo trips to the moon, Mars, and possibly beyond. The targeted launch cadence for the Starship, which comprises the first-stage Super Heavy booster and the upper-stage Starship spacecraft, appears in a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) draft environmental assessment for Starship missions from Boca Chica, Texas. The document primarily addresses the environmental considerations and regulatory processes linked to SpaceX’s desire to increase the frequency of its Starship test flights from its Starbase facility in Boca Chica. SpaceX’s…
Rumors of a potential Galaxy S25 Slim have been swirling for a while now, with more evidence emerging, drops at a time, from various leakers. Now, another leak suggests the upcoming model might have more in its favor than just a slim design. Known tipster Ice Universe shared a post on X that the Galaxy S25 Slim would have an upgraded and improved camera beyond what the base Galaxy S25 has. That’s exciting news, but it could also mean the reported camera changes coming to the Galaxy S25 just aren’t that impressive. The primary and periscope telephoto lenses are expected…
Josh Brolin and Denzel Washington have both been stars in Hollywood for decades, and 2007’s American Gangster brought them together as part of one of the most impressive ensembles of the 21st century. In a recent episode of In Depth with Graham Besinger, Brolin said that there wasn’t total harmony across that cast. In fact, he and Washington almost got into a fight. “Denzel showed up,” Brolin said. “He was a little late to set, and there was a whole thing there. And then he showed me the lines … He didn’t change any of my lines, but he kind of changed…
When it premiered in late 2022, Andor‘s first season quickly emerged as one of the most critically acclaimed Star Wars titles of Lucasfilm’s entire Disney-owned era. The show went on to earn eight Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series. According to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, the Rogue One prequel‘s extremely positive reception has helped him convince Disney and Lucasfilm to follow his vision for its second and final season. Speaking with Empire, Gilroy told the outlet, “The critical appreciation of the show was really helpful, if not essential, in helping Disney choke down the price of what this…
It’s no secret that Volkswagen has been facing a huge slump in sales in Europe and China, forcing it to close plants in Germany. But unlike other European automakers who have stuck to producing high-end electric vehicles (EVs), the German automaker keeps on reaffirming its commitment to bringing affordable EVs to market, including in the U.S. And that commitment starts with VW’s most-affordable EV model to date, the ID.2: Volkswagen remains committed to launching the EV by the end of 2025 or early 2026, Kai Grünitz, head of tech development, told Autocars at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Last year,…
Apple stamped its entry into the AI era this year with the release of Apple Intelligence. But 2024 also marked the year when Apple’s staggered release plan for feature updates was also slower than usual. 2025 might not be much different. According to Bloomberg, Apple has pushed an unspecified number of features that were otherwise supposed to arrive with the iOS 19 update next year. Earlier this week, the outlet also reported that a planned Siri upgrade that would give it more conversational chops has been delayed until Spring 2026. “I’m told that a larger-than-usual number of features scheduled for…
