Here's when Infinix is launching the Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition in India

Infinix's Note 60 Ultra is designed by famed Italian design house Pininfarina, and it's been available since last month. Infinix also launched the Note 60 Pro, and brought it to India in April. Now, the brand has a surprise for the Indian market. Coming on June 24 at 12 PM local time on Flipkart is the Infinix Note 60 Pro 5G Pininfarina Limited Edition, in that Torino Black color we've also seen on the Note 60 Ultra. There doesn't seem to be any other difference between this one and the regular Note 60 Pro 5G aside from the color, which comes with a "carbon fiber finish design" and...

OnePlus 15s isn't happening, tipster claims

In April of last year, OnePlus launched the 13T in China. Then, in June, it released basically the same phone in India as the OnePlus 13s. Back in March of this year, the company introduced the 15T in China, so you're probably expecting it to launch in India as the 15s very soon. OnePlus 15T However, according to a tipster over on X, that is not going to happen. The device will not be coming to India at all, for whatever reason. Furthermore, whether the upcoming OnePlus 16 will launch in India still hasn't been decided. We'd be surprised if the 16 skips India, but the 15s apparently...

Ultrahuman launches M2 Live metabolic health platform for continuous glucose monitoring

Ultrahuman is best-known for its smart rings, but the company recently branched out with a red light therapy device. Today, the company is introducing the Ultrahuman M2 Live, a platform for continuous glucose monitoring. This is actually based on the Lingo Glucose Biosensor by Abbott. It’s available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription. M2 can also work with Abbott’s Libre 3 Plus sensor. The Lingo sensor streams data to your phone over Bluetooth LE, though you will need NFC to activate it. Continuous glucose monitoring • Metabolic Score It’s important to note...

Here's why Apple is already dropping support for so many watches in watchOS 27

At its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, Apple unveiled watchOS 27. This will be rolling out in the fall. Perhaps surprisingly, watchOS 27 will drop support for a lot of older Apple Watches, including the original Apple Watch Ultra, released in 2022. That device was the first Apple Watch to cost a whopping $799, so many owners may still be using it. But come September, they will only receive essential security updates, as the watch is not getting watchOS 27. Asked why, Apple Watch and Health Product Marketing Manager Cait Dooley told TechRadar: With every software...

UAE bans social media for those under 15

A few days ago the UK government announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and now the UAE is following suit by effectively banning social media for those under 15. The UAE is the first Arab country to introduce such a measure. Children under 15 are prohibited from creating, using, or operating personal social media accounts. They will not be able to post content, comment, share, or join public groups. Those aged 15 to 16 will be allowed on social media subject to age-appropriate content controls, restrictions on interaction with unknown users, screen-time management...

Smartwatch shipments grew steadily in Q1 2026 with Apple still leading the pack

According to the latest Counterpoint report, the global smart wearable market grew 4% in Q1 2026 compared to the same period last year, which follows a steady recovery in 2025 after a rough 2024. The analysts say Apple's relatively new wearable devices fueled much of the growth, and consumers are now generally more inclined to buy premium smartwatches. The growth of the Chinese smartwatch market has also contributed quite a bit, with Huawei leading the pack domestically, followed by Imoo and Xiaomi. Shipments in the country grew 15% YoY, and Huawei seized 40% of the domestic market...

Spotify Reserved offers advance concert tickets to the most dedicated fans

Today Spotify is launching a new feature called Reserved in the US. This basically means Spotify is holding two concert tickets for an artist's most dedicated fans, and will offer them the chance to grab said tickets before the general sale goes live. The company isn't saying exactly how it determines who to offer these tickets to, as it doesn't want to encourage strategic engagement. But it did say that eligibility is based "on a wide range of signals like streams, saves, and shares, as well as location". The location factor matters because it wants these tickets to only reach fans who...

SK hynix ships samples of its HBM4E memory: 16Gbps per pin, 48GB capacity per 12-layer stack

AI hardware doesn’t use regular DDR memory – it’s too slow. Instead, the preferred format is High Bandwidth Memory or HBM. SK hynix just announced that it has started delivering samples of the latest HBM4E to its customers. HBM4E delivers 16Gbps of bandwidth per pin. For comparison, the previous HBM4 standard did 10Gbps per pin. Samsung started sampling its own HBM4E design a month ago and it claimed 14Gbps per pin. The design currently being shipped to SK hynix’s partners has 12 dies stacked on top of each other. This 12-layer design works out to 48GB of capacity – that is per...

Gurman: Apple AirPods with built-in camera may arrive in late 2027

Back in May, a report claimed that Apple had entered the final stages of development for its camera-equipped AirPods. Now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has shared a revised launch timeline for the earbuds, along with a few additional details. According to Gurman, citing people familiar with the matter, the AirPods with built-in cameras are now expected to debut in late 2027. The earbuds will reportedly launch alongside Apple's second-generation foldable iPhone and the special 20th anniversary iPhone. Apple AirPods Pro 3rd gen In the earlier report, Gurman noted that Apple could delay...

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants to steal Apple's customers

The latest publicity stunt by Nothing involves its founder and CEO, Carl Pei, releasing a video on his Instagram profile. In the video, he addresses Apple, warning the Cupertino company that Nothing is going to steal its customers, "one bored iPhone user at a time". And that's it. Does Tim Cook even know that Nothing exists? Does his successor? Probably not. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carl Pei (@getpeid) Smaller companies do sometimes pull such stunts, name dropping much bigger competitors, in order to have people watching create an unconscious...

WhatsApp continues testing "view once" text messages on iOS

WhatsApp has started testing "view once" messages on iOS. As the name implies, these will be messages that you send and can only be viewed once by the recipient. After they viewed them once, the messages will disappear. To enable the functionality you will just need to long-tap on the Send button, which will then present you with the option to "Send as view once". Engage that and you're done. WhatsApp initially started testing this feature on Android earlier this month, and now the same is happening on iOS. The view once option is already available for photos, videos, and voice...

Commodore announces Callback 8020, a phone "between dumb and smart"

Commodore is making a phone that isn't a full-on smartphone, nor is it a dumbphone. It straddles the line in a very obviously nostalgia-baiting fashion. Before we talk about the new Commodore Callback 8020, let's get something out of the way first. Commodore International Corporation (CIC), which now owns the brand, was established last year by Christian Simpson, a tech YouTuber who is the CEO. He's brought on some ex-employees of the original company, but this isn't the Commodore of old rising from the ashes like a Phoenix. It's an entirely different company which bought the rights to the...

No, the foldable iPhone Ultra has not been delayed, claims leakster

Yesterday, reports claimed that the foldable iPhone Ultra will be delayed until early next year – however, leakster Fixed Focus Digital believes these reports are false. According to FFD’s sources, production capacity is limited, but that doesn’t mean that the announcement has been delayed. Instead, the Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September as originally planned. The actual release of the foldable may be delayed, but only by a month at most, claims the leakster. As we mentioned yesterday, something like this has happened before – the iPhone X was...

ChatGPT grows user base to over 1.1 billion but its market share is shrinking

OpenAI's ChatGPT had an early start in the AI chatbot race, which cemented its dominant position that it's held for years. However, that is now eroding. For the first time ever, ChatGPT now has less than 50% of the AI chatbot pie, as its competitors have made massive strides lately. By May, ChatGPT's market share was down to 46.4%, followed most closely by Gemini (27.7%) and Claude (10.3%). 46% market share is still impressive, but ChatGPT started at 100% all those years ago, let's not forget. On the other hand, more and more people are using AI chatbots, with ChatGPT going over the...

Meta's Threads celebrates 500 million users with a bunch of new features

There was a time when many Twitter alternatives popped up, and Meta couldn't resist throwing its hat in this game too, with Threads. Threads may have started as a way to capture people leaving Twitter after Elon Musk bought it, but it's now all grown up, it seems. The service has reached 500 million monthly active users, having added about 100 million since last August. Undoubtedly, its ties with Instagram have made it easier to jump to than other Twitter wannabes. But Meta says the recently launched communities feature has been driving a lot of the growth. To celebrate the...

Here's how the Redmi K90 Ultra will compete with flagship smartphones

Redmi apparently has a very interesting plan to make its upcoming K90 Ultra viably compete with much more expensive flagship smartphones, specifically those equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. According to a new rumor from the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Redmi K90 Ultra will pair the older Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with an active cooling fan. The fan will ensure sustained performance that will allegedly rival that of devices that don't have a fan, but are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Redmi K90 Max Additionally, the K90 Ultra is said...

The Apple iPhone Fold/Ultra may have been delayed to next year

With the higher than usual amount of leaks about the iPhone foldable, it seemed like a done deal that the iPhone Ultra/Fold/whatever-it-gets-called will finally launch this autumn. But maybe it won’t. Companies from the Apple supply chain are now indicating that the launch has been pushed back to early next year: Largan Precision CEO Lin En-ping said (machine translation): “the fourth quarter of this year will be busier than in previous years due to customer new product scheduling factors, with some new products expected to be launched in the third quarter and others postponed to early...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 wide may use thicker ultra-thin glass than Fold8 Ultra

According to a report from last week, Samsung will use ultra-thin glass (UTG) of different thicknesses on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold8 (wide) and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Both foldables are expected to debut in July alongside the Galaxy Z Flip8. Ultra-thin glass forms the top protective layer of a foldable phone's flexible AMOLED display. It helps reduce the crease while protecting the screen from drops. According to the report, the Galaxy Z Fold8 (wide) will feature a 60μm-thick UTG.
