Apple is reportedly eyeing a major hardware shift in 2027. The company is heavily rumored to launch a low-cost MacBook powered by a smartphone chip, alongside its first foldable iPhone. We might also see a different launch cycle for the mainline iPhones, one that splits the typical Fall release cadence.  While those are exciting developments worth keeping an eye on, Apple will be more interested in making a different turnaround focused on software. And in particular, with AI efforts on its mobile devices. That driver of those changes will likely be iOS 27.  So far, reports have predicted a Siri…

Microsoft has essentially confirmed it is pulling the plug on Windows 11 SE, the specialized version of its operating system designed for K–8 classrooms. By the end of 2026, support for the education-focused platform will officially wrap up. This decision marks a pretty sharp pivot from just a few years ago, when Microsoft was pitching SE as its big “Chromebook killer” and a central part of its strategy to win over schools. When Windows 11 SE first hit the scene in 2021, Microsoft marketed it as the perfect, “purpose-built” tool for younger students. By 2022, they were calling it the…

Samsung is pulling back the curtain on its newest health frontier at CES 2026: a feature called Brain Health. While our watches already track our hearts and our sleep, Samsung is now trying to peek into our cognitive future. This new service isn’t just a fitness tracker for your mind; it’s a sophisticated early-warning system designed to spot the subtle, often invisible signs of dementia long before they become obvious to a doctor. The core idea behind “Brain Health” is to turn our everyday gadgets into diagnostic powerhouses. Instead of needing a brain scan or a battery of clinical tests,…

ASUS is preparing to raise prices on select PC products beginning January 5, 2026, just days before CES 2026 kicks off in Las Vegas. In a private notice circulated to partners, the Taiwanese tech giant cited rising costs of DRAM, NAND flash, and other key components as the primary reason behind the move.

After years of steady progress, 2025 was a major speed bump for EVs. The Trump Administration’s decisions to cancel the federal EV tax credit and curtail emissions standards, while putting extra pressure on automakers with tariffs, brought an end to the era of unbridled EV optimism. Automakers stopped talking about electrifying their U.S. lineups, postponed some new EVs and canceled others, like the Ram 1500 REV. But the auto industry is slowing down, not reversing course. The new year is still slated to see some major EV launches. These were the ones still most likely to happen, and most likely…

Towards the end of 2025, rumors around an affordable MacBook had started surfacing. The idea was that this model would compete directly with Chromebooks and affordable Windows laptops, targeting students, professionals, and casual users who don’t want to spend $1,000 on an entry-level MacBook. Now, according to Taiwanese market research firm TrendForce, the long-rumored entry-to-mid-range MacBook is expected to launch in spring 2026, potentially giving budget-conscious buyers a new reason to consider macOS. This device, according to the analysts, would come with a 12.9-inch display, putting it a hair smaller than the current 13.6-inch MacBook Air but large enough for…
