Today Apple has issued a new software update, but this one is a bit special, as it's intended for the older models that the company doesn't support anymore - not with its latest iOS builds at least. We're talking about iOS 12.5.6, which is already going out to those iPhones and iPads stuck on the iOS 12 branch, including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, original iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and even the 6th gen iPod touch. The new update's build number is 16H71, and it addresses a security vulnerability in WebKit which leads to arbitrary code execution and Apple says...

Enlarge / Logitech is allegedly working on a handheld, Android-powered gaming console. (credit: Evan Blass)
There are many Nintendo-Switch-style, Android-powered gaming handhelds out there, usually available as imports on eBay or AliExpress. Some, like the AYN Odin, are fairly well-regarded. Others, like the Retroid Pocket 2+, are less good, but they’re so cheap that they’re still worth buying for people who want a portable console for old-school game console emulators. But it's rare for any of them to have backing from a major company, reliable hardware and warranty support, or clear software update policies (beyond occasional Android version updates or support from alternate Android distributions).
That's why the rumors of a Switch-like, Android-based portable from Logitech caught our eye. Originally teased by prolific leaker Evan Blass (and preserved by The Verge following a DMCA takedown), the handheld is definitely reminiscent of a Switch Lite. It has four face buttons (arranged Xbox-style with the "A" on the bottom and "B" on the right, rather than Nintendo-style with these buttons reversed), left and right shoulder buttons and triggers, asymmetrical dual joysticks, a D-pad, and four other face buttons for various system functions. But the device appears to run a customized version of Android with full Google Play access, and it seems to have built-in access to Microsoft's, Nvidia's, and Valve's game streaming services for portable PC gaming.
Blass points out that the handheld is likely the fruit of a recently announced collaboration between Logitech and Chinese tech company Tencent. In early August, the companies said they would "combine Logitech G’s expertise in hardware with Tencent Games’ expertise in software services" to create a streaming-focused handheld gaming console at some undisclosed future date.

The next iPhone SE will finally drop its current design and switch to one that will allegedly be identical to that of the iPhone XR from 2018. That is, if a new rumor on the matter is to be believed. Its source is Jon Prosser, talking on the Geared Up podcast, and he has provided reliable information in the past, so maybe this does in fact pan out. But you probably shouldn't get the bubbly ready just yet, as there was a new iPhone SE launched earlier this year, and it came two years after its predecessor. And thus, if Apple keeps the same release pacing for this series, it means the new...

Enlarge / The SmartDry laundry sensor was widely regarded as a useful smart home gadget that saved money and time. When its owners' servers go dark at the end of September, users face a useless device or a notable DIY journey. (credit: Getty Images)
SmartDry was a smart home product that did something useful: tell you when your clothes in your dryer were actually dry.
A small pack mounted inside nearly any dryer drum could prevent clothes from shrinking, save you energy costs (at least $60 per year, the marketing claimed), and even warn you about clogged vents causing high heat—or, much worse, gas buildup. A second-generation version could even turn off your gas dryer automatically. Reviewers greatly preferred it to their own dryers' unpredictable dryness sensors.
The problem is that SmartDry alerted you to dry clothing by connecting to your home's Wi-Fi; the device sent a message to parent company Connected Life's servers and then relayed that message to your smartphone. But Connected Life Labs is closing, discontinuing SmartDry, and shutting down its servers on September 30. After that, "cloud services will cease operations and the product apps will no longer be supported."

Trademarks have been filed for "Reality One," "Reality Pro," and "Reality Processor" ahead of Apple's plans to launch a mixed reality headset, according to a report in Bloomberg.
The trademarks were filed by legal firms (not Apple itself) in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Costa Rica. Apple has turned to the same firms to secure other trademarks in the past.
The filings have not been traced directly to Apple, but they fit well with prior leaks that Apple was considering naming its AR/VR operating system realityOS, rOS, or something along those lines—in fact, a trademark filing for realityOS previously appeared earlier this year. The company already offers a developer framework called RealityKit for iOS apps, which will likely be the basis for some future headset applications. Apple employees have used the word "reality" to refer to the upcoming headset internally before, according to the report.

Apple's official confirmation of its September 7 iPhone 14 series event was the key event to influence this week's trending chart. Not only it helped the iPhone 14 Pro Max retain its lead, but it also lead to a true Apple invasion lower down the ranks as people started comparing their existing phones as they considered upgrading. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra rose to second as the Galaxy Z Fold4 foldable lost more steam and is now down in seventh. Yet another phone from the Korean company, the Galaxy A53, completes the podium as the iPhone 13 Pro Max's charge came just short and it ended...

Another week down, let's take a look back at the top stories. Apple confirmed its iPhone 14 series announcement will happen on September 7.

Rumor has it the Pros will get the new A16 Bionic, ProMotion displays, the new pill-shaped punch hole Face ID instead of the notch, a new selfie camera with AF, and a new 48MP main camera with 8K video. The non-Pro's will retain the A15 Bionic, have 60Hz displays, and likely the camera setup of the iPhone 13...

Google finally released its mid-range offering from the Pixel 6 lineup and we couldn't miss reviewing it. Despite the Pixel 6a being marketed as a midranger, many of the phone's aspects are flagship-worthy. It has a bright OLED panel, albeit 60Hz, a flagship Tensor chipset and a nice set of capable cameras. We have every detail of the phone explored in our written review, but we totally understand those that would rather watch the highlights summed up on video as well. Ricky delivers all the highs and lows of the Pixel 6a in just under 9 minutes.
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has landed at HQ and we've got an unboxing for you. It comes with a case for the rear glass panel, complete with an adjustable kickstand, a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, a 67W charger, and a cable. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is among the thinnest foldables around. It measures 5.4mm when unfolded, and 11.2mm when folded. Compare that to the Galaxy Z Fold4's 6.3mm/15.8mm, and the Xiaomi phone feels thin as air. There's a lot to say about the Mix Fold 2 in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold4. The Xiaomi foldable has a conventional-feeling outer display with a 21:9 aspect, which...

As most of you probably already know, Apple is going to announce the next generation of iPhones during an event on September 7, but alongside the phones, some industry analysts believe that a smartwatch will also be revealed. This one is going to be slightly different than the standard Apple Watch - it's going to be more premium, with a different design and considerably bigger display too. It will likely be called Apple Watch Pro and according to a supply chain analysis, it's going to feature a flat display design with really subtle curvature towards the edges, which in turn might also...

If someone tries to sell you 30TB of solid-state storage for less than $40, consider turning around and running away, no matter how many clip-art rockets they use in their pictures.
It feels like high-capacity SSDs are getting cheaper all the time, but in the words of a security researcher known as Ray Redacted on Twitter, there are still some deals that are too good to be true. In the spirit of discovery, he bought a "30TB" external SSD from AliExpress for $31.40, which also happens to be listed on Walmart's website for $39 (I am linking it for educational and entertainment value, please do not buy it).
For those of you who are following this thread but not understanding the scam:
— Ray [REDACTED] (@RayRedacted) August 26, 2022
Scammer gets two 512MB Flash drives. Or 1 gigabyte, or whatever. They then add hacked firmware that makes it misreport its size.
Windows reports EXACTLY 15.0 terabytes. Not 14.89, Not 14.78
But when you go to WRITE a big file, hacked firmware simply writes all new data on top of old data, while keeping directory (with false info) intact.
— Ray [REDACTED] (@RayRedacted) August 26, 2022
H2Testw actually WRITES & then RE-READS its data. But the scammer slowed the bus down from 5 gigabits per second to .48 gigabits
On the inside, this "SSD" looks like two small-capacity microSD cards hot glued to a USB 2.0-capable board. This board's firmware has been modified so that each of these cards reports its capacity as "15.0TB" to the operating system, for a total of 30TB, even though the actual capacity of the cards is much lower. This is another giveaway; Windows reports drive capacities in gibibytes (1,024 mebibytes) or tebibytes (1,024 gibibytes), while drive manufacturers use gigabytes (1,000 megabytes) and terabytes (1,000 gigabytes). This is why a 1TB drive normally only has a reported capacity of 930-ish GB, rather than a nice round number.

The Honor 70 just made its UK debut and it's now joining our review queue. Here are our first impressions before the lengthy testing process is complete. The phone we have is in Emerald Green color, which is the best-looking of all three available in Europe. We also love how thin the phone is - under 8mm, and the 2.5D curved sides make it extremely easy to handle. The dual-circle design of the camera setup on the back has been around for more than a year but this time the two circles aren't joined on an elevated island. The top circle houses the 54MP main camera with a Sony...
