Apple’s upcoming iPhone update could bring one of the most requested improvements: longer battery life. While this year’s focus is expected to be on artificial intelligence, iOS 27 appears to be equally about refining the system and improving efficiency, not just introducing flashy new features, according to Mark Gurman in the latest Bloomberg Power On newsletter. A smarter, leaner iPhone experience This fall, Apple’s iOS update will focus on two key priorities. The first is expanding AI across the platform, highlighted by a redesigned, chatbot-style Siri aimed at competing with generative AI tools from other companies. The second—and perhaps more…

Tesla’s highly anticipated integration of Apple CarPlay is still on the way, though not as fast as some drivers expected. The company had indicated last year that support might be available by the end of 2025, but unforeseen challenges are now delaying the rollout, according to the latest issue of Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter.

A comfortable fit, feature-packed design, and strong ANC performance are the standout highlights.While Sony’s premium 1000X earbuds often steal the spotlight, the company’s more affordable lineup holds some impressive surprises. The LinkBuds series, for instance, delivers strong performance at around $100 less than the flagship WF-1000XM5.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is essentially an S25+ with the titanium frame and main camera borrowed from the Ultra — but in a sleeker, thinner design. When I first heard that Samsung was reviving the “Edge” name for a new ultra-thin addition to the S25 lineup, my initial reaction was: Why? Honestly, I assumed the obsession with ultra-thin phones had faded years ago. That old trend often came at the cost of battery life, added heat, and stripped-down features. But like fashion, tech trends have a way of coming full circle. After the jump to 5G — which demanded more…
Panasonic’s long-awaited S1 II has finally arrived after six years, and it brings plenty to the table. Geared toward content creators, it offers up to 5.8K ProRes RAW internal video recording—a serious upgrade. It also happens to be Panasonic’s fastest full-frame camera yet, boasting 70 fps burst shooting and reduced rolling shutter, thanks to a newly designed partially stacked 24-megapixel sensor. Most notably, the addition of an AI-driven hybrid phase detect autofocus system addresses a key weakness of the original S1. However, there’s one surprising drawback: the price. At $3,200, the S1 II closely mirrors Nikon’s Z6 III in specs—right…

Don’t kill roaches with this common cleaner Seeing a cockroach near your drains is never a pleasant sight — and chances are, where there’s one, there may be more. Knowing how to get rid of roaches fast and safely is essential. These pests are attracted to warm, damp places, which makes bathroom and kitchen drains a common entry point as they search for food and water. The real concern? Cockroaches reproduce quickly, and a few can soon turn into a full-blown infestation. While many people’s first instinct is to pour powerful cleaning agents down the drain, experts are now warning…
Android 16 introduces a powerful new security feature that can alert you when your phone connects to a potentially fake or insecure mobile network—often set up using a surveillance device known as a “stingray.” This new “network notification” feature will notify users if their phone is linked to an unencrypted connection or if the network is trying to access sensitive identifiers like your IMEI. These signs can indicate surveillance attempts or unauthorized data collection. However, due to updated hardware requirements, this feature is expected to be available only on newer devices launching with Android 16—such as the upcoming Pixel 10.…
