Apple's getting ready to overuse the AI buzzword just like everyone else has been doing for a while, and the big AI push is also coming this year to Safari, the company's web browser, according to a new report. The next version of Safari will be AI-infused, and it's expected to launch alongside iOS 18, which means it will most likely be presented at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Safari will get Intelligent Search, which will leverage on-device AI to identify topics and key phrases within a web page you're looking at in order to summarize its contents for you....

The European Union Commission has placed iPadOS as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Following an eight-month investigation, the EU Commission concluded that iPadOS is on three key premises. Apple is leveraging its ecosystem to disincentivize users from switching to other operating systems and devices – essentially locking users to iPadOS. A similar case is made for business users who are locked into the platform due to its “large and commercially attractive user base”. The EU Commission also concludes that iPadOS’s business users exceed the threshold for a...

Last week’s poll shows that Motorola aimed too high with the pricing of the Edge 50 series. That said, with solid review scores and a good discount, these could become very popular (we have already reviewed the Pro and Ultra models). Starting with the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, nearly half of voters picked the “it costs too much” option. Maybe they would have felt differently if the phone had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, but the 8s variant is an issue at €1,000. Many in the comments were posting about how you can get more performance at that price point. The Motorola Edge 50 Pro was...

Last year, we learned that WhatsApp was developing a feature that would let users message unsaved contacts. While that feature is yet to be rolled out to everyone, the platform has now started developing an in-app dialler that will allow its users to call people on WhatsApp without saving their numbers. This dialler was spotted on WhatsApp for Android's beta version 2.24.9.28. It would be as convenient as the ability to message someone on WhatsApp without having to save their number first since users wouldn't have to go through the hassle of temporarily adding the numbers to their address...

While Microsoft is gearing up for its Windows on ARM event on May 20, Qualcomm is preparing the processors that will power that revolution. The flagship in that new line of silicon is the Snapdragon X Elite but it has a sidekick - the Snapdragon X Plus. Today, we have our first solid information about the latter chip. The Snapdragon X Plus surfaced in a Geekbench DirectML benchmark on a device codenamed OEMMN. There's no room for interpretation on the chip's part - it's plainly named - the Snapdragon X Plus or X1P64100. The Qualcomm Oryon CPU is a 10-core unit with a max clock speed...
Apple gave up on offering leather accessories for its mobile devices in September of last year, replacing them with a "FineWoven" material that is made from 68% post-consumer recycled polyester.

So, you're looking to buy a Xiaomi midranger and spend around €300 in the process. Surprisingly, there is no shortage of options, but the two you are probably most likely to encounter are the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro and the Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro. The two share a lot of specs and offer a very similar overall experience. The Redmi Note 13 Pro is technically the cheaper of the two, but only if you look into the base 128GB/8GB version. The Poco X6 Pro has a 256GB/8GB base tier. The Poco also has the more powerful chipset, but the Redmi arguably has the upper hand in the camera department. But...

The Google Pixel 8a has been a frequent guest in our news section lately. We got to see some of the specs and detailed renders revealing the color options at launch. And now, we have pricing info as well. The leak comes from a Canadian retailer, which outed the price way ahead of launch. The device is expected to cost CAD 709 or CAD 793, depending on the storage - 128GB or 256GB, respectively. This puts it in the INR 40,000-45,000 bracket in India, but due to import taxes and other costs, the price may vary. Either way, the Pixel 8a may be slightly more expensive than its...

There are good smartphones for the price, there are great smartphones for the price, and then there's the newly unveiled Umidigi G9 5G. This was just presented in Hong Kong at the 2024 Global Sources Mobile Electronics show, and it has an insane price: just $99.99. That's incredibly cheap, but the specs are actually pretty good. So let's go through them. Unsurprisingly to hit that price point, the G9 5G uses a Unisoc chipset, specifically the T765. This comes with an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.1 GHz. Umidigi...

The poster itself doesn't say which phone(s) will become official on that date, but it's pretty easy to assume that one (or the only one) will be the Xperia 1 VI, which has been leaking quite a bit lately.

After the European Commission forced Apple to open up iOS for third-party app stores in the EU, it seems like other countries are investigating Apple over antitrust and monopolistic practices. Most recently, news broke that Japan is looking to significantly increase fines for big corporations that engage in monopolistic practices.

A subsequent future failure to comply with the law will result in a fine of 30% of sales. Japan signaled a coming change back in December 2023...
