Apple’s wearable future is starting to come into focus, and cameras appear to be at its center. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that camera-equipped AirPods and Apple’s first smart glasses are currently on the roadmap for 2027. While they may look like ordinary accessories on the surface, both products could play a crucial role in helping Apple Intelligence understand the world around its users in real time. Your AirPods might start paying attention When most people think of AirPods, they think of music, podcasts, and phone calls. Cameras aren’t exactly high on the wishlist. But Apple has a different vision. The cameras…
Apple has spent much of the past year playing catch-up in the AI conversation, but if a new report is accurate, the company is preparing to remind everyone that it still knows how to ship hardware. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has an unusually ambitious product roadmap stretching across late 2026 and 2027. While annual iPhone refreshes are nothing new, the list of devices in development reads like a company trying to reinvent multiple product categories at once. And honestly? It’s about time. For years, Apple’s launches have largely followed a predictable formula: faster chips, slightly better cameras, and…
Every day, I walk to the gym with my AirPods in. The reason is boringly practical. They give me one small setting I can adjust before the city starts pressing every button at once. Horns, engines, chatter, heat, gym music leaking through the door, somebody’s phone blasting videos at full volume. A city doesn’t ask politely before entering your skull. That idea gets flattened whenever earbuds are treated like proof that strangers no longer care about anyone around them. Silence in public can be rude, sure. A lot of the time, though, it’s maintenance. It’s someone deciding how much noise…
TikTok has spent years perfecting the art of knowing exactly what you want to watch next. Open the app, scroll a few times, and suddenly it’s serving videos that feel uncannily tailored to your interests. But what happens before TikTok learns who you are? According to new research from video editing platform Kapwing, the answer is increasingly AI slop. The study found that nearly 60% of the videos shown to a brand-new TikTok account were low-quality AI-generated content. That’s not a niche problem buried in obscure corners of the platform. It’s the first impression TikTok is making on new users…
Let’s be honest: few iOS design changes have sparked as much debate as Liquid Glass. When Apple first introduced it with iOS 26, the internet immediately split into two camps. Some people loved the fresh, translucent look, while others couldn’t stand it and felt it made parts of the interface harder to read. I happened to be firmly in the first camp. At the time, I was using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and installing the update was one of the first things I did. I loved how the new design made iOS feel more modern and dynamic. The transparency…
The house is quiet, but you’ve already started receiving notes. In the near future, you wake up at 6:43 am. The sleep tracker reports poor recovery. The watch recommends a lighter day, which is considerate, if not especially informed. Somewhere in the stack of sensors, last night has been converted into a verdict. There isn’t enough sleep or rest, and the day hasn’t even started asking for things yet. The device isn’t being especially cruel. In 2024, CDC/NCHS found that 30.5% of U.S. adults had short sleep duration, and only 54.8% woke up well-rested. The morning, apparently, now begins with…
Microsoft has released a new Insider Preview update for the modern Windows 11 Media Player. However, the app is facing criticism after tests revealed it uses more memory and opens local video files more slowly than the classic 17-year-old Windows Media Player. The update adds some useful fixes, including better captions, clearer codec errors, and improved file recognition. But the biggest complaints remain higher RAM usage and paid codec support for some common video formats. The update is not available to everyone yet. Media Player version 11.2605.14.0 has only arrived on Experimental Insider builds as part of Microsoft’s June 12…
Running out of storage on a Mac is common, but Apple’s built-in storage tools are not always great at showing what is actually taking up space. You usually get broad categories, but finding the exact folders, downloads, app files, or old projects causing the problem can still take some work. Radix is a free, open-source Mac app that tries to make that process clearer. It is a disk space analyzer that scans a folder, drive, or volume and displays the results in an interactive sunburst chart. Rather than digging through folders manually, you get a visual overview of how storage…
Samsung is gearing up to reveal the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at its July event, along with its next-generation foldable smartphones, and a fresh batch of leaks from @GalaxyTechie on X (via 9to5Google) has just handed us a clearer picture of both. Samsung fans hoping for a Classic with a rotating bezel this year might be in for disappointment, but those eyeing the regular or Ultra versions could be in for a surprise. So what exactly did the new leak reveal? Per the X post, the Galaxy Watch 9 lineup might not include a Classic variant,…
The Mac lock screen has always felt a little underused. You see the time, your wallpaper, and not much else. macOS already supports desktop widgets, but once your Mac is locked, that extra information disappears. WidgetScreen is trying to fix that in a pretty simple way. The free Mac app, made by UK computer science student Sam Cook, adds glassy widgets to the lock screen so you can quickly check things like the weather, clock, calendar, battery, music playback, countdowns, and system information. The app is intentionally limited to the lock screen. The widgets appear when the Mac is locked…
