Last week’s poll shows that people are excited for Apple’s move to USB-C – it’s the right choice, even if the EU had to strong-arm Cupertino into doing it. The EU isn’t alone anymore, Saudi Arabia will make USB-C mandatory for portables from 2025, Brazil is still considering its options. Anyway, a few are worried about the e-waste that will be created by the move, but the vast majority see it as a necessary, even positive move. What really troubles people is whether Apple will limit USB-C functionality on the iPhones. Current Lightning cables (and other accessories) need to be MFi...

Introduction If you've ever been interested in AR, you've probably come across the Nreal brand. The company has been one of the most successful in actually commercializing AR glasses, boasting impressive sales numbers of 100,000 units in 2022. The most popular product in their lineup is arguably the Air glasses. Nreal is now rebranding to XREAL after a trademark dispute with Epic Games. The company seems to have taken the name change as an opportunity and is now refreshing its lineup and the XREAL Air glasses in particular by launching an optional XREAL Beam accessory that further...

Ad-supported apps and games are a great way to get a free yet still subsidized experience. However, not all ads are created equal and full-screen ones are definitely among the more annoying ones. Google has also zoned in on the particular issue, and Android 14 comes with a per-app management interface for full-screen intents. In Android 14, you can manually revoke the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission from apps so they can't send you full-screen notifications. Later this year, Google Play will auto revoke this permission from newly installed apps that don't provide calling or alarm...

Introduction At first glance, Samsung was very docile with the upgrades to its Galaxy Watch6 series. But you could argue that there was very little wrong with the Galaxy Watch5 series and that all the upgrades we got were useful or thoughtful. The new watches use the new Exynos W930 chipset, which is nearly identical to last year's W920. Both are made on a 5nm process and have dual-core Cortex-A55 processors, but the new chip has a higher 1.4GHz clock speed, which Samsung says makes for an 18% increase in speed. The Watch6 series also bumps the RAM up to 2GB. On the software...

A shiny new foldable smartphone is great, but despite the massive improvements that have been entering the foldable niche lately, there is still a certain level of uncertainty regarding device longevity and rigidity associated with foldables. All you generally have to go by are manufacturer informal assurances and third-party fold tests, like this recent one which revealed that the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra only managed 126,266 folds despite being manufacturer rated for 400,000 cycles. You get the point. As per some insider info courtesy of Mishaal Rahman, Google might be looking to...

Motorola currently has two devices within its Edge 40 family - the vanilla Edge 40 and the Edge 40 Pro.

The Infinix ZeroBook 13 is the successor to the previous generation ZeroBook 12 model. If you’re wondering if the numbering stands for the generation of the notebook or the display size then it’s neither. Instead, the number refers to the generation of the Intel CPU inside, with the new ZeroBook 13 being equipped with Intel’s latest 13th gen models. The model we have here is the flagship in the series and also the most interesting one by far. Featuring a Core i9-13900H, 32GB memory, and 1TB SSD, the ZeroBook 13 is kitted out like a high-end notebook but comes in at an astonishing...
