There are already more than 600 dedicated apps for Apple's Vision Pro headset, but YouTube isn't one of them. And last month the Google-owned service outright said it had absolutely no plans to develop such an app. How a few weeks can change things. Today YouTube did a 180 and told The Verge that it's got a Vision Pro app "on the roadmap". Unfortunately it didn't want to say when we should expect the app to land on Apple's headset. In the meantime, YouTube says it's supporting the Vision Pro "by ensuring YouTube users have a great experience in Safari". This is quite the development...

Apple has published some new adoption rate numbers for its mobile operating systems, and they reveal an interesting situation where the trajectories of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 compared to their predecessors are practically opposite. iOS 17 adoption is trailing iOS 16 adoption around the same time last year. The new version is already on 76% of iPhones introduced in the last four years. That's compared to 81% for iOS 16 at a similar point in time. Sure, the difference isn't huge but it's there - perhaps people don't consider iOS 17 and its subsequent point updates as important as they did iOS...

Tablet sales fell 10% in 2023 compared to 2022, according to newly released data from Canalys. For the full year, 135.3 million tablets got sold. Apple still leads, as you'd expect, with a whopping 40% market share from its 54 million shipments. Its market share stayed about flat compared to 2022 when it had 40.4% of the pie, and it's a similar story for Samsung, which is No.2 - its 25.6 million shipments last year gave it 19% of the pie, compared to 19.3% the year before. In third is Lenovo with 9.3 million sales, grabbing 6.9% market share, down from 7.7% in 2022. Next up, Huawei,...

The Nothing Phone (2a) is on its way and we may now know what it will look like. A seemingly official press image of the upcoming device is here to dispel these early hands-on images (because the dual camera is in the wrong place), and suggest that the Phone (2a) won't feature a Glyph interface. The render shows a phone with a transparent rear panel very similar to the Nothing Phone (1) and (2) but without a wireless charging coil and seemingly no LEDs for a Glyph interface. Previous rumors have given us an overall good idea of the specs - a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+...

The OnePlus Buds 3 are the company's latest truly wireless earbuds. The company launched its first TWS earbuds back in mid-2020 with the original OnePlus Buds. We never saw a OnePlus Buds 2 but there were the Buds Z and the Buds Z2 in late 2020 and 2022, respectively. The Buds 3 seem to combine the original Buds and the newer Buds Z range as the company may have realized it has one too many earbuds series on the market right now. The new Buds 3 sit between the Buds Pro series at the top and the Nord Buds series below. You get some of the more premium features from the flagship...

Some Samsung Galaxy S24 users have reported less than stellar results coming from their cameras and a brand representative confirmed that a firmware update is already in the works.

One such report got a response from a forum moderator who confirmed that the issue will be addressed with a future update. The moderator confirmed that Samsung’s new S24 series brings a more natural color reproduction compared to previous S-series devices though he also stated that there were no...

Samsung uses a mix of chipset suppliers for its phones – Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung itself – each in different proportions. According to one tipster, MediaTek is negotiating to become a bigger part of the Galaxy series and is trying to lure in Samsung with special pricing. Specifically, it wants to extend the use of MediaTek chips for Samsung’s budget models. With the exception of the Galaxy M53, most MediaTek powered Galaxys are in the A3x range or lower. Budget phones naturally have the lowest bills of material, so a price cut on the chipset (one of the priciest components)...

The Redmi A series is Xiaomi’s most affordable smartphone line and it’s about go grow bigger – literally, the Redmi A3 will have a 6.71” display, as can be seen in photos sent to us by a tipster. For comparison, the Redmi A1 and A2 both had 6.52” displays. Besides having a bigger panel, the A3 will also be the first in the series to offer a high refresh rate – just 90Hz, but keep in mind that this series sells for less than ₹10,000. Usually much less than that, the base A2 was ₹6,300 ($75/€70) at launch. Xiaomi Redmi A3 retail package and the phone itself That one only had a...
