While Google has never quite matched its competitors in the smartwatch market, particularly when it comes to health tracking features, the Pixel Watch 5 feels like its strongest attempt yet to close that gap. With features such as Insulin Resistance Trends and Breathing Emergency Detection, Google is making a serious push in a category where wellness and proactive monitoring are becoming increasingly important. With the Pixel Watch 5 now going head-to-head with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 9 and Apple’s Watch Series 11, the differences go well beyond the usual Android vs. iOS divide. The interesting question isn’t which smartwatch has the…
Anyone waiting for a new iMac may only have a few more months to go. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing an updated model that should be available to buy before the end of 2026. The refresh is expected to bring Apple’s upcoming M6 chip alongside some new color options. Beyond that, though, buyers shouldn’t expect Apple to reinvent its all-in-one desktop this year. Gurman says the upcoming model won’t change much else, suggesting Apple will stick with the familiar 24-inch design rather than introducing a larger screen, OLED panel, or substantial chassis redesign. The iMac could be…
Motorola is preparing to become the first major smartphone maker beyond Google to sell phones built for GrapheneOS, the privacy-focused Android alternative best known for its tight security requirements. The catch is that these will not be cheap phones. According to a Mastodon post by GrapheneOS, Motorola and the GrapheneOS project are targeting a 2027 launch for their first supported devices, with the initial lineup expected to consist of premium flagships. The phones are also expected to cost more than Google’s Pixel devices, which have long been the only mainstream smartphones officially supported by GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS is finally moving beyond…
We have spent the past few weeks seeing Googlebook laptops with increasingly premium hardware, but pricing has remained one of the biggest unanswered questions. A new ASUS leak may finally give us a better idea of where at least some of these machines could land, and even the less powerful models may not be particularly cheap. A now-removed Canadian retail listing spotted by GbookHub showed an ASUS Googlebook CX9406 with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The laptop was listed for roughly CA$1,900, which works out to around $1,380. ASUS has not…
Apple Notes is one of my go-to note-taking apps. It’s free, it comes preinstalled on every Apple device I own, and it already packs a solid set of features like shared notes, notes locking, the ability to attach different file types, and notes linking, among many others. For most people, that’s plenty to get by. That said, there are a handful of features I keep hoping Apple will add to Notes someday. So, I keep checking the new features with every single iOS and macOS update, and I keep coming up empty. Until Apple decides to catch up, I found…

Samsung has been rumored to be working on a major camera redesign for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, and we may finally have an idea of where it is headed. Prominent leaker Ice Universe has shared a sketch that appears to show the basic rear layout of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship, reportedly based on CAD measurements. I have to admit, this is not quite what I had pictured. Previous reports pointed to Samsung moving toward a horizontal camera layout, which immediately made me think of the Galaxy S10 and its clean visor-style camera strip. Instead, the sketch suggests something much closer…
Attaching photos to a ChatGPT conversation on an iPhone has always been easy enough, but the latest update removes a few more taps from the process. A new shortcut now lets users jump straight to their most recent images, making it quicker to add a photo when asking ChatGPT to identify, explain, analyze, or simply react to something in front of them. According to an X post by OpenAI’s Consumer Product Lead, Adam Fry, OpenAI has added the feature to the iPhone version of ChatGPT. The shortcut is part of a broader set of improvements arriving in the app, although…
Sony is expected to introduce its next Xperia phone in just a couple of days, but a new leak may have already revealed what the upcoming Xperia 10 VIII will look like. An image shared by Android Headlines shows what is claimed to be the Xperia 10 VIII ahead of Sony’s August 25 event in Japan. Sony has only confirmed that a new “Xperia Product” is coming, though recent leaks have consistently pointed toward the Xperia 10 VIII. If the image is accurate, Sony does not appear to be changing much on the outside this year. The Xperia 10 VII…
The idea of AirPods with cameras has already made some people uneasy, even though Apple has not announced such a product yet. Online forums have highlighted growing skepticism around the possibility of camera-equipped earbuds, with concerns ranging from privacy to whether such devices could eventually be restricted in workplaces and other public spaces. Those concerns may become harder to dismiss after a separate discovery reported by MacRumors offered a more detailed look at how Apple’s camera-equipped AirPods could potentially work. According to MacRumors, forum member mactracker uncovered a hidden macOS framework called “AccessorySensorManager,” which appears to contain references to sensors…
