The Volkswagen ID. Polo is now official, and it is a big deal. The Polo has been one of VW’s most beloved and iconic models, with over 20 million units sold, and it is now going fully electric. Developed in Wolfsburg, the ID. Polo starts at 24,995 euros in Germany, which is a reasonable entry point for a proper electric car. Talking about the core specs, you get three power options: 85 kW, 99 kW, and 155 kW. The first two variants come with a 37 kWh battery and offer a range of up to 329 km. The top-end 155…
It looks like Rockstar’s most anticipated game in over a decade might not require you to sell a kidney to afford it. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick took to the stage at iicon, a conference for video game executives, and addressed the elephant in every gamer’s living room — how much will GTA 6 actually cost? He didn’t drop a number, but the tone of his answer was enough to dial back the low-level panic that’s been simmering in gaming circles for months. The super-premium $100-plus price point that had been doing the rounds as a rumor? Zelnick’s comments nudged it…
Well, it took long enough — but YouTube is finally doing something really nice for its free users. Picture-in-picture mode, the feature that lets you shrink a video into a floating mini-player while you go about your phone life, is rolling out globally to all users over the coming months — no subscription or premium paywall is required. Just you, your video, and the freedom to check your messages without the whole thing grinding to a halt. For anyone outside the US who has spent years watching Premium subscribers float their videos around like smug little royals, this one’s for…
It’s never easy watching a big swing miss. But this one? This one stings a little differently because Apple had every resource in the world to make it work, and it still couldn’t. According to MacRumors, Apple has quietly stepped back from the Vision Pro. Not discontinued it — the M5 model is still sitting on shelves at $3,499 — but the internal teams that built and maintained it have been scattered across other projects, and there are currently no plans for a next-generation model. For all practical purposes, the Vision Pro experiment is on ice, possibly permanently. The M5…
Vine is back, and if you’re already feeling nostalgic, you’re not alone. Divine, a Vine reboot backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is now available on the App Store and Google Play. The app brings back roughly 500,000 archived Vine videos and lets creators post new six-second looping videos once again. As reported by TechCrunch, Dorsey’s nonprofit, “and Other Stuff,” financed the project. He’s not looking for a return on his investment here. His goal is simpler: to undo the mistake he made when he shut down Vine back in 2017. So, how did they bring Vine back? Early Twitter…
After teasing it at the CES 2026 in January and formally revealing the phone at the MWC in March, Motorola has officially launched the Razr Fold today, on April 29, 2026. It’s the company’s first book-style foldable that competes directly with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The Motorola Razr Fold will be available for pre-orders starting May 14, 2026, via the company’s official website and Best Buy. Sales commence May 21, 2026, in line with a previous rumor. The foldable’s price is set at $1,899.99. Motorola has also confirmed that carrier availability at T-Mobile,…
Motorola is refreshing its Razr lineup with new flip phones built for different budgets and needs. The Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr+ are both available for pre-order on May 14 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola.com, going on sale universally unlocked on May 21. The Razr starts at $799.99, and the Razr+ comes in at 1,099.99. Both run Android 16 out of the box and share the same iconic flip design that the Motorola Razr family is known for. What does the Motorola Razr+ bring to the table? The Razr+ is the more premium of the two, and it shows.…
You know that feeling when you really need a break, but your phone keeps buzzing anyway? KitKat heard you. The chocolate brand, in collaboration with creative agency Ogilvy Colombia, has unveiled something called Break Mode, a KitKat wrapper that doubles as a Faraday cage for your phone. A Faraday cage, for the uninitiated, is a conductive enclosure that blocks electromagnetic signals. The technology has traditionally lived in medical labs and data security facilities. Now it lives in a red chocolate wrapper, which is honestly something nobody saw coming. How does KitKat’s Break Mode wrapper actually work? The wrapper looks like…
Motorola’s new Razr Ultra 2026 feels like the company is leaning harder into the fashion side of foldables. The phone still has the familiar compact flip design, but this year’s finishes make it look less like a regular smartphone and more like a style piece that happens to open into a full-sized flagship. Is this the prettiest Razr yet? The prettiest version may be the Pantone Orient Blue model, which uses a finely embossed Alcantara finish. Motorola has also added a Pantone Cocoa option with a natural wood veneer finish, giving the phone a warmer and more understated look. Both…
You don’t actually need to share your location for your city to figure out where you are. Every call you make and every message you send, quietly connects to a nearby network antenna. Now multiply that across millions of people doing the same thing every day, and what you end up with isn’t just data — it’s a living, moving picture of how a city really works. That’s exactly what researchers at the University of Córdoba have managed to tap into with a new tool designed to interpret those patterns. The tool that watches without really watching MAPLID (Multi-label Approach…
