With the HomePod, Apple has dipped their toes into the smart speaker waters. However, judging from the reports we’ve seen, it has barely made a dent in the market which is still largely dominated by the likes of Amazon and Google, who have launched smart speakers that are decidedly more feature-rich.
Apple already makes battery cases for its iPhones, but if you’d rather not wait, it seems that Mophie has you covered. For those unfamiliar, Mophie has been creating iPhone battery cases for many years already, so it’s not surprising that the company is back with a new battery case designed for Apple’s new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max.
The other day, Apple made a surprising announcement at its iPhone event. Typically the company reserves its new iPad announcements for much later in the year, but for some reason, the company decided to launch a new 10.2-inch entry-level iPad at its event. One of the changes they made is the introduction of the Smart Connector.
For a while now we’ve been hearing rumors that Apple could be working on an augmented reality headset. Now in a tweet by 9to5Mac’s Guilherme Rambo, it seems that there has been evidence discovered in iOS 13 that makes reference made to Apple’s AR headset. This is further confirmed by developer Steve Troughton-Smith who found a “read me” file that talks about stereo AR apps that can be “worn”.
If you buy an expensive gadget like an iPhone or a MacBook, then buying AppleCare+ for it makes sense, especially since repairs can get pretty expensive. However, what do you think about AppleCare+ for headphones? Necessary or not? Apparently necessary, according to Apple who launched a new AppleCare+ plan for their headphones.
Last year’s Apple Watch Series 4 represented a somewhat big change in the Apple Watch lineup. It came with a slightly modified design where it offered a larger display. If you were hoping for design changes for the Apple Watch this year, you might be disappointed, but it doesn’t mean that the Apple Watch Series 5 isn’t a substantial update.
There are monitors that have been designed specifically for gaming, and as such, they do come with certain features that a regular monitor might not, such as NVIDIA’s G-Sync graphics technology. However, it seems that LG and NVIDIA will be expanding the availability of the G-Sync technology not just to monitors, but to TVs as well.
As some of you might know, Xiaomi makes a lot of different products and not smartphones. For example, the company also makes its own robot vacuum cleaner that we suppose could be seen as a much cheaper version of other robot vacuum cleaners in the market. In fact, it might even have a slight added advantage because it can be modified if you are willing to put in the effort.
Tile’s trackers are pretty useful if you’re the type that forgets things or misplaces items often. This could be your bag, your keys, an umbrella, luggages, and so on. Through an accompanying smartphone app, you can help locate where your item is, but it seems that Tile wants to make it even easier.
Back in the day, TVs were basically displays to watch our shows with. While, they are still pretty much still the same, these days, TVs have improved on their features and functionality, where they can be used to stream content from the internet, use apps, go online, and so on. This is why it’s not surprising that a 5G-enabled TV is being developed by Samsung.
How the Tile tracker works is that it uses Bluetooth to connect and pair with the user’s smartphone, relying on it to locate items and to let users know when an item might be out of range of the smartphone. Now, we’ve heard Apple is working on a similar accessory, but it how does it differentiate from the Tile tracker?
In recent years, we’re starting to see the rise in smart displays. These are essentially smart speakers with displays built into them, where the added display means that users will be able to watch videos, make video calls, and also connect with other smart devices like cameras to see who’s at the door.
