Apple and OpenAI’s legal battle has quickly moved beyond carefully worded court statements. OpenAI has just shared the email and message trails behind the dispute, and one exchange leaves Apple’s version of events looking questionable. In a bluntly titled post, “Apple is getting this wrong,” OpenAI challenged Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction and accused the iPhone maker of building parts of its case around false or incomplete information. Apple wants a court to prevent OpenAI and two former Apple employees from accessing, acquiring, using, or disclosing its alleged confidential information. Apple’s paper trail contains a hilarious mix-up Apple previously…

I recently wrote about Apple’s Continuity features and how they play a big role in keeping me trapped inside the Apple ecosystem. One of the smallest but most-used and favorite Continuity features is the Universal Clipboard, which lets me copy and paste text and files between multiple Apple devices.  Now, it seems that feature is finally coming to Windows PCs. As per MacRumors, Apple is reportedly working on letting you copy something on your iPhone and paste it straight into a Windows PC, no third-party app required.  Why is Apple finally doing this? Apple is not doing this out of…

We’ve reached the point where AI-powered smart glasses are no longer just expensive gadgets for early adopters. Now, they’re cheap enough to end up in a shopping cart alongside kitchenware and school supplies. That’s exactly what’s happening in Australia, where Kmart’s new Anko AI Camera Glasses have completely sold out across the country. Priced at just AU$89, the wearable undercuts Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses by a huge margin while offering many of the same features, including photo capture, HD video recording, AI assistance, music playback, and hands-free calling. The rapid sellout suggests there’s real interest in affordable smart glasses. But…

Google appears to be testing a new look for the voice search interface built into the Google homescreen widget found on most Android phones.

The Abu Dhabi developer received the building completion certificate for Ville 11 residential project on July 31, 2026, and government data shows the rest of its portfolio tracking ahead of plan. Abu Dhabi-based developer Burtville has started handing over units at Ville 11 in Masdar City, after the Department of Municipalities and Transport issued the development’s building completion certificate on July 31, 2026 — 14 months ahead of the handover originally scheduled for September 30, 2027. Construction broke ground in January 2024 and wrapped up in roughly 30 months, a milestone the company says sets the benchmark for its wider…

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro may ship with a far less capable zoom camera than earlier leaks suggested, according to a new report from South Korea’s ETNews. The outlet says the phone’s telephoto camera would use a 12MP sensor and offer 3x optical zoom, not the 50MP 3.5x zoom sensor that multiple prior reports described. A downgrade from earlier leaks Leaks from earlier this year suggested that the Galaxy S27 Pro could feature a new 50MP ALoP telephoto sensor, matching the Ultra’s camera performance in a smaller body. However, ETNews now says that the device could come with a 12MP 3x…

Asus unveiled the ROG Gjallar back in early July 2026, as the first speaker system under the ROG brand. However, at the time, the company stayed quiet on pricing and availability. That’s changed now.  So what’s actually inside the ROG Gjallar? The gaming soundbar just went on sale in China for CNY 3,699, which works out to roughly $548.  Underneath the soundbar’s metallic mesh grille sit four 50mm full-range drivers and two 27mm high-fidelity tweeters. With the angled up-firing channels, the speaker is designed to throw sound vertically so that it bounces off your monitor or the walls behind it. …

China’s AI race has never really been short on competition, but it’s increasingly looking like a battle over who can charge the least rather than who can build the best model. DeepSeek has unveiled its latest open-weight AI model, called V4-Flash, alongside a dramatic price reduction that makes it significantly cheaper for developers to use. The company has cut token pricing by 50% and has also decided against introducing a previously announced dynamic pricing system that would have increased costs during periods of heavy demand. The new changes paint a clear picture: DeepSeek appears more interested in winning over developers…

I’ll be honest: my first reaction to Palworld’s mobile game was that it could be a cheap copy nobody asked for. However, I was wrong. This one’s actually worth paying attention to for multiple reasons. So what exactly is Palworld Online? Pocketpair just confirmed a brand new mobile massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG, called Palworld Online, and it is arriving on iOS and Android sometime later this year. But this isn’t the existing Krafton-made Palworld mobile title you might already know about.  Instead, Garena, a Singapore-based studio that has roughly 15 years of mobile development experience behind successful…
