No more browser hopping Links you click inside Copilot will now open in a side pane right…

The first unofficial Geekbench 6 results for the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max are in, and Apple isn’t just winning the benchmark race. It’s obliterating the competition. The M5 Max’s 18-core CPU scored 29,233 in multi-core performance, beating the Mac Studio’s M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU and an average score of 27,726. Yes, you read that right.

Samsung makes great earbuds for Samsung users. Apple makes great earbuds for iPhone users. That’s been true for years, and 2026 hasn’t changed it. If you’ve landed on this page already knowing that, good — we can skip past the part where we explain what an ecosystem is and get to the stuff that actually matters. Because here’s the thing: the people reading a comparison like this aren’t usually looking for permission to buy the obvious choice. They want to know how far apart these two products really are. Is the gap in features as big as the spec sheets…

The Cosmic Orange finish on the iPhone 17 Pro is one of the most eye-catching colors Apple has released in years. But according to a recent test, it might be surprisingly easy to change that color, all it takes is the wrong cleaning product. A report found that common household cleaners containing chemicals like hydrogen peroxide can react with the phone’s finish, potentially turning the bright orange frame into a shade closer to pink. While the results may look eye-catching, it’s definitely not something most iPhone owners would want to risk on a premium device. Why does the iPhone turn…

The top half, however, features a new rectangular…

Alongside its latest mid-rangers, the Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro, Nothing today unveiled a new pair of affordable headphones. Dubbed Headphone a, the new model derives its design from the more expensive Headphone 1 but drops Nothing’s signature transparent look for a simpler, yet colorful finish on the earcups.
