Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max to be aggressively priced

The RAM crisis is expected to heavily influence smartphone pricing going forward, but apparently Apple won't be fazed by any of it. According to a new research note from analyst Jeff Pu, Apple is preparing some "aggressive pricing" for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Unfortunately, Pu doesn't put a number on that, and leaves us speculating. But past reports from Ming-Chi Kuo have stated that both Pro models would start at the same prices as their predecessors. In the US, that's $1,099 for the iPhone 18 Pro and $1,199 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Everything other than...

Realme C100 is headed to Europe with a smaller battery

Realme first launched the C100 in some parts of Asia earlier this month, and now the device is being listed in Europe left and right. It's priced at €269 with 128GB of storage and €299 with 256GB. It will be up for grabs in Sprouting Green and Blooming Purple, with 4GB of RAM. In Europe, the phone has a battery with a rated capacity of 6,600 mAh, that's going to be advertised as a larger typical capacity as always happens, but it won't quite reach the 7,000 mAh its Asian sibling has.

The rumored 20th anniversary iPhone design will be applied to both Pro models

Next year the original iPhone turns 20 - or rather, it's the 20th anniversary of its launch, as we doubt any units are still around. Apple has long been rumored to be planning something special to mark the occasion, and a few days ago a report talked about a 20th anniversary iPhone coming with a quad-curved screen. As it turns out, that won't be a special anniversary iPhone model - instead, that rumor was actually talking about a redesign coming to the Pro series. So the iPhone Pro and Pro Max released in 2027 will have that quad-curved screen design, which Chinese smartphone makers had...

Samsung is bringing One UI to laptops

According to a new rumor, Samsung is currently working on Galaxy Book branded laptops that will run Android 17 with One UI 9 on top. Before you think that's insane, remember that Google itself is in the (very lengthy) process of merging ChromeOS with Android. What will come out of that is Aluminum OS, which itself is based on Android. Now it's not clear if these Samsung laptops will actually be running that, or if the Korean company is developing its own One UI 9 layer for laptops in order to simply slap it onto normal phone-oriented Android 17, unfortunately this report doesn't go into...



AirPods Ultra are coming with cameras for Siri

Apple is rumored to be getting really serious about Ultra branding in the coming months, with the iPhone Fold expected to actually be launched as the iPhone Ultra. There will also be a MacBook Ultra, and a new pair of AirPods Ultra. These will basically be the AirPods Pro 3, but with added cameras. The cameras will be used by Siri - that is, the new, revamped, AI-ified Siri powered by Gemini, which is (hopefully) finally coming in iOS 27 later this year. The AirPods Ultra have been rumored before, and presumably those cameras will be there so you can ask Siri about what you're...



Gemini can now generate files for you

Google's Gemini can now easily generate files for you. Supported formats are: Workspace files (Docs, Sheets and Slides), .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .csv, LaTeX, Plain Text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF) and Markdown (MD).

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to have fewer cameras than its predecessor

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 series has recently been rumored to arrive with a big design overhaul - moving the camera island. In fact, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could look something like this: This is not a leaked image, it's just a speculative render based on the aforementioned rumor. From the same source, the prolific Ice Universe, comes another revelation: Samsung is going to be changing the S27 Ultra in the actual camera department too, not just the location of the camera island. Apparently, the 3x telephoto camera from the S26 Ultra (and its predecessors) will be gone in the S27...

Instead, it will launch it across the world as the Razr 70 Plus. Last year, the Razr+ 2025 wasn't available outside of North America as the Razr 60 Plus, so this is...



iPhone Ultra gets compared to the Huawei Pura X Max

Huawei unveiled the Pura X Max earlier this month as its entrant into the large wide foldable smartphone space, one that's expected to become pretty crowded later this year with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold Wide and, of course, the iPhone Ultra (aka iPhone Fold) - which has definitely influenced both the Huawei and the Samsung devices even though it's not even official yet. Today we get to take a look at an iPhone Ultra dummy unit compared side-by-side with the Huawei Pura X Max in the short video below. As you can see, the form factor is pretty similar, even though the two...

Hey guys! We've already done an unboxing of the vivo X300 Ultra, but that was the Chinese model. Today, we've also got the global variant of the phone, so let's unbox it as well. The retail package is the same - you've got a color-matching case (black, in this case), a 100W charger, and a USB-C cable. Unboxing the phone Our Global unit is the black one; it's understandably identical to the Chinese model, which is the Silver one. They even have the same 6,600mAh battery, so no milliamp deduction for European users in this case, it seems. The rest of the specs are...

OnePlus Pad 4 in for review

Today, we are taking a look at the new OnePlus Pad 4, the company’s latest premium Android tablet. But first, let’s do a quick unboxing. The OnePlus Pad 4 packaging is very simple, and comes in the familiar red and white colorway. Inside, the tablet itself takes very little of the vertical room, thanks to its slim 5.94mm profile. Most of the height is taken up by the 80W fast charger, along with the matching cable. There’s not much else in the box. The OnePlus Pad 4 is a relatively straightforward iterative update over the OnePlus Pad 3. It replaces the Snapdragon 8...



Google might be doing away with the Fitbit brand

There is no doubt that Fitbit still has enormous brand recognition. Whether or not the company’s current offerings are your best option is certainly debatable, but the make carries a lot of weight. Well, who better to potentially start killing it off than Google? The company certainly has a dark track record of mishandling brands and products. The situation might not be too bad at the moment, though. We are certainly only piecing clues together, and there is no formal announcement yet. Still, people noticed that on the software side of things, in some markets (mostly European), on the...



Google Photos AI Enhance is now live for all users

Google seems to be working hard on expanding its editing options in Google Photos. We recently saw the online titan add a quick facial touch-up feature. Now another similar feature has gone live. It is a very simple and straightforward “AI Enhance” button that sits beside the Enhance and Dynamic buttons that were already present in the Auto tab in the image editor. We tried it for ourselves, and while it can restore highlights and shadows quite effectively and deal with common issues caused by bad lighting and boost colors slightly, it is nothing truly spectacular in any way....
