Apple has historically launched its regular and Pro models side by side, but that tradition could be in for a shake-up this year. A report from The Information last November suggested that Apple may debut only the iPhone 18 Pro models in 2026, with the more affordable iPhone 18 pushed to spring 2027. A new report now adds weight to that claim, indicating that Apple plans to prioritize its premium models this year. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans told Nikkei Asia that the company is aiming to launch three premium models in the second half of the year, including the…
A couple of days ago, OnePlus announced bypass charging for the OnePlus 13s, limited to the Indian region.

As part of the latest OxygenOS update, OnePlus is bringing system-wide bypass charging to a couple of older devices, including the OnePlus 13R, the OnePlus 12, and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 (via notebookcheck.net). What is bypass charging anyway? For those catching up, bypass charging is a power management and utilization feature that allows a smartphone to draw power directly from the charger (when it’s plugged in),…

Sennheiser has just dropped a lifeline to everyone who misses the simplicity of plugging in a pair of headphones and hitting play. In a world where “audio” has become synonymous with “Bluetooth pairing,” “firmware updates,” and “battery anxiety,” the German audio giant is taking a refreshing step back to basics. They have officially refreshed their entry-level lineup with the new HD 400U over-ear headphones and CX 80U earbuds, effectively bringing the trusty wired connection into the modern era.

We tend to think of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as digital “walled gardens” – safe, curated spaces where dangerous or sleazy content gets filtered out long before it hits our screens. But a grim new analysis by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) suggests that the walls have some serious cracks. The report reveals a disturbing reality: both major storefronts are currently infested with dozens of AI-powered “nudify” apps. These aren’t obscure tools hidden on the dark web; they are right there in the open, allowing anyone to take an innocent photo of a person and digitally…
The rumor mill offered a glimpse into Samsung’s foldable ambitions last month, with a report suggesting the company is working on a new foldable phone designed to deliver a tablet-like experience.

Although Samsung has yet to share any details about the so-called “Wide Fold,” the company has confirmed a new foldable phone is in development and set to arrive later this year. Samsung’s plans were revealed during its Q4 2025 earnings call, where the company acknowledged the ongoing pressures…

It’s a small change, but it fixes a daily annoyance for anyone who keeps their phone on silent, in a bag, or face down on a desk. Missed calls finally land in the Now Bar The screenshot shows the missed call as a dedicated card…
A NASA video (above) reveals in great detail how its upcoming Artemis II mission is expected to play out. The space agency released the animation last year, but seeing that the Artemis II astronauts could be heading to the moon as early as February 6, it’s a great time to watch it again. The Artemis II crew members — NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, together with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen — will launch inside the Orion spacecraft, carried to space by the powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The crew will spend 10 days in…
In a car market that feels increasingly hostile to user choice, Volvo has just stepped up as the voice of reason we desperately needed. While some major competitors – looking at you, General Motors – are busy tearing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of their own proprietary systems, Volvo has drawn a line in the sand. In a recent conversation with The Drive, Volvo’s chief engineering and technology officer, Anders Bell, made it crystal clear: the Swedish automaker will “absolutely” keep supporting these third-party platforms across their lineup, including their new electric vehicles. This is a massive…
Samsung is preparing to go head-to-head with Apple in the foldable race with a new wide-format foldable that is designed to mirror what many expect from the first foldable iPhone.

The device, internally referred to as the “Wide Fold,” is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 at Samsung’s Q3 Unpacked event in July. That timing matters because Apple is widely expected to unveil its own foldable…
