Apple is reportedly preparing to turn the iPhone into an even bigger financial hub with a new built-in bill splitting feature designed for group dinners, travel expenses, and shared payments. According to a report from Mark Gurman, the company plans to announce the feature at WWDC next week as part of iOS 27. The new tool would allow users to photograph a restaurant receipt, automatically calculate individual shares including tax and tips, assign items to specific people, and send payment requests directly through Apple Cash. The feature is expected to work inside both the Wallet app and Messages, with payment…

A scanned invoice arrives as an image-based PDF. The text gets extracted through an OCR website, formatting is fixed manually inside another editor, signatures are added through a separate platform, and the final document is exported again for approvals or archiving. The individual steps are simple enough, but the workflow itself becomes unnecessarily fragmented once multiple browser utilities, desktop tools, and cloud services are involved. Wondershare PDFelement isn’t just a PDF editor — it’s an all-in-one workflow platform for real office productivity. OCR, editing, batch conversion, annotations, AI-assisted handling, e-signatures, and document organization all live in one workspace. Whether it’s…

Longtime Tekken leader Kohei Ikeda, who most recently directed Tekken 8, has announced he is departing from Bandai Namco after 20 years at the company. This news follows the departure of veteran Tekken director and producer Katsuhiro Harada in December, marking a significant shift in Tekken’s leadership. As for why, Ikeda’s announcement doesn’t delve into that, instead focusing on the history that comes with 20 years at Bandai Namco, and offering a word of support to those he is passing the Tekken baton to.  “I am deeply proud that I had the opportunity to create games alongside such incredible people who poured…

The battle for compact high-performance desktops is heating up, and Nvidia appears ready to enter territory long dominated by Apple’s Mac Studio. At Computex 2026, MSI unveiled a new AI-focused mini PC called the MSI EdgeMesa N AI, powered by Nvidia’s brand-new RTX Spark platform. The launch signals Nvidia’s growing ambition to push AI computing beyond traditional gaming desktops and into compact creator and workstation machines. More importantly, it also shows PC brands moving aggressively toward Apple’s increasingly successful formula of powerful desktop performance inside small, minimalist systems. A tiny AI workstation built around Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform MSI’s…

Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG, lol) has announced the ROG Xbox Ally X20, a new version of the ROG Xbox Ally X that launched last year, featuring a larger now-OLED screen, tunneling magnetoresistance joysticks, and a transparent shell. It will still feature the same AMD Ryzen AI Z2 extreme processor that makes last year’s ROG Xbox Ally X the handheld powerhouse it is, but this X20 device is likely to cost you a lot more. That’s because it will only be available as a bundle alongside the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR glasses. There’s no confirmed price for this…

Gaming PCs have become increasingly powerful over the years, but genuinely memorable designs are harder to come by. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Asus’ Republic of Gamers (ROG) is trying to change that with the new Edition 20 lineup — and at least on looks alone, it has succeeded. Leading the charge is the ROG G1000 Edition 20, a limited-edition prebuilt desktop that swaps the usual black-and-RGB gaming aesthetic for a striking gold-accented design. It feels less like a collector’s item built for enthusiasts who want their PC to be the centerpiece of the room. Every unit ships with its…

Baldur’s Gate II is reportedly getting the remake treatment, according to PC Gamer, and former BioWare and Baldur’s Gate II lead designer Kevin Martens is returning for it. The publication also reports that it has heard from its sources that the first Baldur’s Gate is likely to be getting a remake, too. Martens is already working with Wizards of the Coast for the upcoming sci-fi RPG, Exodus, which looks to be filling gaming’s Mass Effect-sized hole when it launches in early 2027. Considering Wizards of the Coast also owns the Baldur’s Gate IP, this isn’t a surprising return for the developer.…

The AI PC race has mostly been about squeezing more neural processing power into thinner laptops. Asus is taking a different route. Its latest ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 creator laptops are built around Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform, a chip package that sounds like something you’d expect to find inside a workstation. And that’s exactly the point. The new ProArt machines are targeting creators, developers, and power users who increasingly want desktop-class AI performance without being tethered to a desk. A creator laptop that thinks like a workstation The biggest story here isn’t the laptops themselves. It’s the hardware…

The Pokémon Company has revealed a brand-new trading card game set for the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon and it’s appropriately called “30th Celebration.” Every card in the pack will be foil, making it quite a special set, alongside 30 new Pikachu illustrations, new “futuristic rare cards featuring Mewtwo and Mew art by Yoshirotten,” and the return of classic cards alongside new Pokémon EX cards. Every card will feature a special 30th Anniversary symbol, similar to the 25th Anniversary symbol, when the set launches simultaneously worldwide on September 16. I don’t know about you, but as someone who has dropped out of…

E Ink and MediaTek have teamed up to bring something genuinely exciting to a product category that has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Your next e-reader might just transcribe meetings, translate languages in real time, and finally show you colors that don’t look washed out. The two companies announced an expanded collaboration built around MediaTek’s new generative AI e-reader chips, the MT8115 and MT8126. These support both Linux and Android, and pack a dedicated NPU that delivers up to 7.4 TOPS of AI computing performance.  What all that technical jargon actually means for you is useful stuff…
