I’ve been using Pixel smartphones for a decade now, and I’ve never seen a muted refresh as the latest Pixel-A midranger. There’s plenty of chatter in the community, and deservedly so. Google’s all-new Pixel 10a doesn’t come with the dramatic spec upgrades we’ve come to expect from annual refreshes. It even makes year-over-year iPhone upgrades feel generous.

The bezel around the display is slightly narrower, the camera module sits more flush with the back panel, and under the hood,…

If you’ve ever found yourself rewinding an audiobook because you got distracted mid-sentence, Audible has a new feature that can save you from the frustration. The platform calls it “Immersion Reading,” which is basically a fancy term for a Read & Listen mode.

Ford is overhauling how it designs electric vehicles, shrinking battery packs and dramatically reducing wiring in an effort to bring EV prices closer to those of traditional gasoline-powered cars. The strategy marks a major shift in how the automaker approaches electrification, focusing less on maximizing battery size and more on improving overall efficiency and cost structure. A New EV Platform Focused on Efficiency For years, automakers have chased longer driving range by installing larger batteries. But battery packs can account for up to 40% of an EV’s cost and a significant portion of its weight. Ford believes simply adding more…
