iPhone 18 Pro camera upgrade 'confirmed' by another rumor

According to one of the most prolific and well-known tipsters on Weibo, the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will get the much-rumored main camera upgrade. Actually, he says it's "confirmed". This upgrade basically means the main camera module will be physically larger on the iPhone 18 Pro than it was on its predecessor. This will result in the camera bump's thickness being increased by approximately 2mm. The iPhone 18 Pro (and the iPhone 18 Pro Max) have long been rumored to get a main camera with a variable aperture, and that alone could explain this size increase. There's also a chance...

We like the phone's feel in the hand, though it's a bit slippery,...

Weekly poll: what device do you use for gaming? A smartphone, tablet, PC or console?

The gaming market has had a rough go of it this decade – first COVID slowed down the rollout of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, then the crypto boom vacuumed up available GPUs, now AI has made RAM chips the new gold. This has led to smartphone makers rising prices, but PCs and consoles are just as affected – the PS5, the Xbox, the Steam Deck and the Nintendo Switch all got more expensive. And that’s just some of the more high-profile products. Services are feeling the pain too – Microsoft wanted to raise the price of Game Pass, but changed its mind after loud complaints from...

Weekly poll results: iOS 27 is okay, just okay

iOS 27 was met with a resounding “it’s okay” in last week’s poll. Okay, the sentiment among iPhone users actually leans towards positive, but most voters couldn’t work up enough enthusiasm for it to pick the “love it” option. To be fair, this release was focused on sanding off the rough edges of the major Liquid Glass redesign and on finally delivering on promises about AI features that Apple made a long while ago. Remember all the Apple Intelligence demos during the iPhone 16 launch? Yeah, Siri AI is launching later this year, likely alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. Even if you...

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...

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...

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 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
