According to noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the next generation of Apple‘s popular AirPods headphones could launch in the second half of 2024 or first half of 2025. The lineup is rumored to include a more affordable pair of AirPods priced at $99 and a new model of Apple’s over-ear AirPods Max headphones (released in 2020).
$99 AirPods could ship as early as next year alongside next-gen AirPods Max
The $99 AirPods would undercut the price of Apple’s current most affordable AirPods (its second-generation model) by $30. This move to reduce the price of the entry-level AirPods model mirrors what Apple did with its Apple TV lineup last year, when it launched a new set-top box that was $50 cheaper than its previously most affordable version.
(4/5) The next-generation AirPods will likely begin mass shipments in 2H24 or 1H25, including more affordable AirPods (with Apple targeting a price of $99) and new AirPods Max, which will be assembled by Luxshare ICT and Hon Teng.
Kuo previously reported that Apple would be launching a new USB-C charging case for all its AirPods models in 2023, around a year earlier than he’s now predicting the arrival of the next-gen headphones. However, it’s possible that Apple could refresh its AirPods charging cases in 2023 but leave the actual earbuds unchanged until 2024 or 2025.
In October, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple could launch USB-C compatible lineup of AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max by 2024, and recently said that Apple’s AirPods lineup is unlikely to get any updates of note in 2023. RELATED:

Google Pixel 7 series users are experiencing an endless stream of problems. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, which have been struggling with issues since its release, are now in the spotlight with video call errors. According to the latest reports, users are reporting poor video call quality. Here are the details…
Google Pixel 7 series users are reporting poor video call quality
Google Pixel 7 series users are reporting poor video call quality when using apps such as Google Meet, Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The specific issue being described as producing a very blurry and smeared image using both the front and rear cameras. The issue was initially thought to be caused by video quality limitations within Google Meet, but it has also been reported to affect other apps.
To corroborate the observation, a Redditor produced three screen captures from a Google Meet call, one from a Pixel 7, one from an iPad Pro 2018, and one from a Pixel 3XL, and the comparison showed that even the dated Pixel 3XL produced a much better picture quality than this year’s Pixel 7.
It is widely speculated that certain apps do optimize video for certain phone models, however, this doesn’t seem to be the same issue as it is more noticeable in Google Meet, an app created by Google, that if anything should be optimized to work better with Pixel phones. This issue has been reported since October, and it is hoped that Google will address it in a future software update. In the meantime, Google Pixel 7 series users may want to consider using alternative video call apps or devices to ensure better video call quality.
CES 2023 kicked off earlier this month, with brands across the globe exhibiting the latest and greatest in tech for the year. We saw a lot of announcements at the Las Vegas event across different categories like beauty products, health monitoring, cleaning, automobiles, smart TVs and even VR. Now that the event has come to an end, let’s look at some of the most interesting announcements from the event this year.
So these were some of our favorite products unveiled at CES 2023.
Sure, you might have seen wireless TVs in the past, but LG managed to take things up a notch with high bandwidth streaming to a massive 97-inch OLED panel. The final setup, which leaves the large TV with almost no wires (you still have one power cable), is ideal for a minimalistic home. The streaming box, which can be placed up to 30 feet away from the TV, can stream content in 4K 120Hz resolution without any lag or interference from objects in between.
Withings U-Scan
Health centric brands are looking for smarter ways to analyze health data and make recommendations. And the Withings U-Scan takes a unique approach to gathering this data and telling your body’s health metrics.
The U-Scan is an oval-shaped sensor that attaches to your toilet bowl to analyze your urine sample. Urine has always been a very important source of information for doctors. So, with the new U-Scan sensor, you can monitor nutrition and metabolic information by analyzing ketone, vitamin C levels, and even your urine’s PH levels, telling you how your body is performing on a daily basis.
BMW COLOR-CHANGING CAR
BMW has been working on a color changing car concept for the past few years. But this year, it seems to have finally managed to improve its concept by adding the ability to shift between 32 different solid colors.
Unlike last year’s model which could only switch between Black, White, and Gray, this year’s i Vision Dee can switch between a total of 32 solid colors. Users can even mix up different colors, thanks to the 240 E Ink e-paper segments on the car, all of which can be controlled independently. Apart from its unique color changing appearance, the concept comes with AI-powered virtual assistants and a new-age full-windshield heads-up display.
The BMW i Vision Dee does not have a tentative release date or even production timeline. But, BMW is clearly making progress in bringing this technology closer to market release.
Acer eKinekt BD 3
Standing desks are cool, but what’s cooler in 2023? Well, Acer thinks working out while working on your laptop is the next big thing in desk designs.
If you thought you didn’t have enough time to workout because of your long working hours, Acer has got you covered with its Acer eKinekt BD 3 desk. This unique desk allows you to cycle while working on your laptop, allowing you to burn some crucial calories without interrupting your schedule.
What’s cooler is that your hard work doesn’t go to waste because the desk converts the kinetic energy generated while pedaling to charge your gadgets using two Type-A and one Type-C ports on board.
Lumus AR Lenses
Companies have long been striving to develop AR glasses that are non-intrusive and bulky, and Lumus seems to be pretty close to this end goal. The company unveiled the Z-Lens 2D waveguide tech at CES 2023 which offers a 2K x 2K resolution AR glasses in vibrant colors and a bright heads-up display in the size of your regular glasses. What’s more, you can even add prescription lens on these glasses.
One of the biggest highlight of these waveguide glasses is that it’s practically indistinguishable from a regular pair of glasses from the outside. This will definitely help in a wider adoption of AR tech in the market.
So these were some of the best products we saw at CES 2023 this year.
Do you think any other product that stood out at CES this year? Let us know in the comments sections below.
Apple Watch Series 6 and later models are facing a new patent crisis. According to the latest lawsuit filed in the United States, Apple has used the patent for products that measure oxygen levels in the blood without permission. If the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) finds Masimo justified, the Apple Watch may be banned in the United States. Here are the details…
U.S. judge rules Apple Watch infringed Masimo’s pulse oximeter patent
A U.S. judge has ruled that Apple has infringed on one of Masimo Corp’s pulse oximeter patents by importing and selling certain Apple Watches with light-based pulse oximetry functionality and components. The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) will now consider whether to implement an import ban on these Apple Watches.
Masimo, a medical device maker, claims that Apple had used its own patents without permission. Apple has said they respectfully disagree with the decision and look forward to a full review by the Commission. The pulse oximeter feature in Apple Watch Series 6 and later models allows the user to track the oxygen levels in their blood.
However, Masimo claims that Apple has used its own patents without permission. The two companies are now in a legal dispute over the Watch Series 6 and later models. Masimo has accused Apple of stealing their patents related to the pulse oximeter, and has taken legal action against the tech giant. In the case heard at the USITC, the judge has ruled that Apple has infringed on one of Masimo’s patents.
The USITC has yet to decide whether to ban the import of Apple Watch models that track oxygen levels in the blood. However, Masimo CEO Joe Kiani has stated that this decision will help restore justice in the market. Kiani also labeled Apple as a company that steals innovations from other companies and makes a profit.
Although Apple has not yet made an official statement on the matter, it is reported that they plan to appeal the case. It should be noted that the Watch Series 6 and other models have yet to be banned. A recent claim has also been made that the oxygen level sensor in the Watch is not effective in people with dark skin. According to the claim in the case, devices of this type have been facing difficulties in measuring blood oxygen levels based on skin color for a long time.
Samsung is apparently gearing up to launch a new Galaxy M series smartphone soon. The company had announced the Galaxy M04 just last month, and it appears that the Galaxy M14 5G is the next handset to be unveiled.
As the name suggests, the Galaxy M14 5G is likely to be the successor to the Galaxy M13 5G. The South Korean tech giant’s upcoming smartphone was recently spotted getting certification on FCC, which also hints at some of its specifications. So looking at the online database, we can see that the new Galaxy M series device carries the model number SM-M146B/DSN. Furthermore, the Galaxy M14 5G will come with support for 25W fast charging, although the battery parameters are still unknown.
Unfortunately, this was all the information revealed by this online listing. However, the budget grade handset was also spotted on GeekBench prior to this, which offers us a better look at its internal hardware. The Galaxy M14 5G will be equipped with the Exynos 1330 processor that will be paired with at least 4GB of RAM. While key specifications are still at large, we can look at the previous generation model for some speculations.
The Galaxy M13 5G had launched with a MediaTek Dimesnity 700 SoC and sported a 6.5 inch HD+ LCD panel that offer 90Hz high refresh rate. This display also had an Infinity V notch with a 5 megapixel selfie camera. Meanwhile, the rear featured a 50 megapixel triple camera and a 2 megapixel depth sensor. So we can expect a similar camera setup on the back, as well as a display of an identical size. Being a budget model, it is unlikely that it will come with an AMOLED display and would stick to an LCD panel with a high refresh rate.
Samsung has been working on perfecting its advanced 3nm process technology and it seems like that production yield results for its most cutting edge chip fabrication line has almost been perfected.
Back in 2022, the South Korean tech giant was the first to kick off mass production of 3nm chips. Around this period, the company’s rate of production yield was in the range of 10 percent. Now, it appears that the first generation of 3nm process nodes have reached a “perfect” level of production yield, as per a source close to the matter. The report also claimed that the Samsung Foundry had begun taking orders from fabless clients to begin mass production of its most advanced chips earlier this week.
According to the source, “We are now developing second-generation 3nm chips without delay.” For those unaware, the production yield is basically how many chips remain on the wafer and are key to the profitability of the semiconductor process node. Notably, the 3nm process technology is all the first process node where Samsung applied its first generation GAA structure transistors. Simply put, it is a method on improving the chip performance and energy efficiency.
On the other hand, the world’s largest contract chipmaker TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) employs its FinFET technology for the 3nm process, which entered mass production just last month. But while TSMC was months behind Samsung, the former also has Apple as one of its major customers.
Samsung has announced that its latest Samsung Galaxy S23 series is now up for pre-reservations in India. Customers are required to pay Rs 1,999 to pre-reserve the device. Those who pre-book will be eligible for benefits worth Rs 5,000, though details on what those benefits will have yet to be revealed.
The pre-booking customers will also get exclusive color options, a Rs 2,000 welcome voucher and 2 percent loyalty points via the Samsung Shop app. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is set to launch globally on February 1st, and the company will hold an in-person event for the launch. However, Samsung has not yet confirmed any key features of the new flagship phones.
Teasers suggest that the camera will be one of the core highlights, with Samsung claiming that the series will offer a great night photography experience and a triple rear camera setup. Rumors also suggest that the new flagship phone will have a 200-megapixel camera, which may be seen on the Ultra version.
What to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S23 series
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is expected to be a top-of-the-line smartphone lineup with impressive specs and features. According to the leaks and rumors, all three models are said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to have a large 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a QHD+ resolution. The display is also said to be brighter than the iPhone 14 Pro series, with a brightness of 2200 nits.
S23 Ultra will also have a quad camera system, including a new 200 MP main camera and two 10MP telephoto cameras with 3x and 10x optical zoom as well as a 12 MP ultrawide camera. The battery capacity of the S23 Ultra is expected to be 5000 mAh and it will support 25W fast charging and at least 15W wireless charging.
The S23 and S23 Plus will also have impressive camera setups, featuring a triple camera arrangement on the back with a 50MP primary camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The S23 and S23 Plus will have 6.1-inch and 6.6-inch screens, respectively, with Full HD+ resolutions and AMOLED panels that support a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The S23 and S23 Plus will also have hole-punch cutouts for the front-facing camera and will support 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The S23 is rumored to have a 3900 mAh battery while the S23 Plus is expected to have a 4700 mAh battery. Also all three phones will come pre-installed with Android 13 and a layer of One UI 5.0 on top, offering a user-friendly and feature-rich experience.
Samsung Galaxy S23 series is shaping up to be a highly-anticipated release, with many speculating that it will be packed with cutting-edge technology and features. Stay tuned for more information in the coming days.
Philips recently introduced two new monitors to the market called the Philips 27B1U7903 and the Philips Evnia gaming monitor. The former is a professional-grade 4K monitor with a Mini LED backlight & thunderbolt 4 port, while the latter is a 34-inch curved screen gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate.
The brand has now introduced the 40B1U5601H, a modified version of the 40B1U5600 that the company has been selling for the previous month or so. In summary, the 40B1U5601H replaces the dull panel with a 5 MP webcam. All other characteristics, such as a pair of 5 W speakers, are shared by the pair.
Both monitors are powered by a 40-inch IPS screen with W-LED backlights and a resolution of 3,400 x 1,440 pixels in a 21:9 aspect ratio. Furthermore, when connected to a device through DisplayPort or USB Type-C, both monitors offer 120 Hz refresh rates, but only 100 Hz when using HDMI. Furthermore, Philips asserts that the 40B1U5601H’s 1,200:1 contrast ratio and 4 ms GtG reaction times are identical to those of the 40B1U5600. The 40B1U5601H only delivers 300 nits of peak brightness, in contrast to the 40B1U5600’s 500 nits and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Philips also included a single DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and USB Type-C connection on each monitor, with the latter supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode and 100 W Power Delivery. Like the 40B1U5600, the 40B1U5601H has a USB Type-A hub and an RJ45 Ethernet port. Philips is already selling the 40B1U5600 for £649.99; the 40B1U5601H will be made available later this month for £739.99.
Google Chrome users on Android should soon be getting a valuable upgrade to the browser called “Instance Switcher”. This feature allows users to have multiple Chrome windows open simultaneously, This could be a significant productivity boost for users, who can now have different windows for different tasks, such as “work” and “home” or for cross-referencing while researching.
One of the key benefits of this feature is that it allows users to run two versions of Chrome simultaneously and interact with both simultaneously via split-screen or by placing one instance over the other. This is useful for those who work from home, as they can now have separate windows for work and home tasks. Additionally, it allows users to watch a YouTube video while reading around the subject without switching between tabs.
This feature is similar to the “open new window” button on Safari for iPad and could be especially useful on the best Android tablets. However, the split-screen may be a bit small on some phones. While this feature may not be revolutionary, it is a handy addition to Chrome on mobile and desktop, showing that Google is not resting on its laurels.
This follows other recent time-saving features, such as pinned tabs and the secondary search window added in late 2022. The Instance Switcher feature can be found by tapping the three dots menu on Chrome and selecting “Manage Windows,” although there has been no official announcement from Google yet.
Even as a market leader it is good to see Google not resting on its laurels and adding new time-saving features to Chrome on mobile and desktop like the pinned tabs and the secondary search window added in late 2022.
Back in August 2022, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Nord Buds as a budget-range TWS offering for the Indian market, which later made its way to other markets. It debuted with a price tag of Rs. 2,799 ($34) and understandably lacked some premium features like ANC (Active noise cancellation).
Now, the brand is preparing to launch the successor to its affordable earbuds soon in the Indian and global markets. Ahead of the launch, the device appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards website, solidifying these claims.
The OnePlus Nord Buds 2, which could be released shortly, has appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards with the model number E508A. There is no additional information regarding the earbuds in the BIS listing. However, a few further certifications have produced some additional information about the earphones. On the CQC certification website, the Nord Buds 2 was spotted, and it was discovered that the charging case would have a Type-C charging connector. While the earphones may be capable of 1.5W charging, the casing will at least handle 4.5W.
The earphones have also been seen on the IMDA certification page, albeit there wasn’t much information available there. There are still many questions surrounding the impending Nord Buds 2.
Taking a look at the Nord Buds, the earbuds feature a 12.4mm titanium dynamic driver. According to manufacturer claims, each earbud’s 41mAh battery can play music for up to 7 hours. The case adds 30 hours of additional juice. With a flat stem construction and an IP55 rating for sweat and dust protection, the earphones are durable.
We have already covered various reports regarding the Apple iPhone 15 series that is set to launch later this year. However, prior to its release, another report has hinted at some of its major upcoming changes.
For those unaware, the iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to bring various major design changes, marking the first notable overhaul in a while for the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone series. Similar to how the brand removed headphone jacks in the past, it appears that the next move is to remove all forms oh physical button on the devices. Known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously claimed that the iPhone 15 models will ditch the physical buttons for a solid state button design.
This would basically mimic the feel of an actual button without actually having these moving parts. Now, he has reiterated this claim as well. Apparently, the company plans on replacing these physical buttons like volume rockers and power buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. In a new tweet, Kuo stated that these solid state buttons will be equipped with a Taptic Engines, which would enable them to offer a physical button like force feedback.
Meaning, it would feel like a real button is being pressed. Furthermore, he also revealed that Cirrus Logic is the primary supplier for this new technology and is making the Taptic Engine’s controller IC for solid state buttons. If these design changes are well received by users, Kuo believes that Apple might expand it to other high end products in the future.
Samsung is said to host a launch event on January 18 where it will debut new A-series devices. As we know, the A-series ranges from budget-midrange to premium-midrange offerings. One of the devices expected to launch on January 18th is the Galaxy A34 5G which already has its design leaked.
The European variant of the Galaxy A34 5G has now appeared on Geekbench bearing the model number SM-A346B. This is not the first time the Galaxy A34 5G has been listed on Geekbench as the Korean version also appeared on it last month with the model number SM-A346N.
The European version is powered by an octa-core processor that has model number MT6877. It features two 2 performance cores clocked at 2.6GHz and 6 efficiency cores clocked at 2.0GHz. This indicates that the device features the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor, which has recently been a go-to chipset for many OEMs for their mid-range smartphones (like the Realme 10 Pro+ and Redmi Note 12 Pro series).
The Geekbench database listed the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G as having 6GB of RAM. However, we may anticipate that it will also be offered in various memory setups. As for software, the device rocks the latest Android 13-based OS.
The Geekbench database listed the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G as having 6GB of RAM. However, we may anticipate that it will also be offered in various memory setups. As for software, the device rocks the latest Android 13-based OS. The Geekbench 5 benchmark test gave the Galaxy A34 5G a single-core score of 786. It received 2294 points on the test’s multi-core round.
Other details regarding the Galaxy A34 state that it will have a triple camera unit with an LED flash on the rear. The display could be a 6.5-inch AMOLED panel offering a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz.
A 48-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel selfie camera could be included in the device. A 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging is probably included. It might be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint scanner like the preceding model.
Poco is gearing up to launch the successor of the Poco X4 Pro, dubbed the Poco X5 Pro. The device is expected to make its debut in India by the end of January. Recently, we got the detailed specification of the X5 Pro through a leak. And now, the device has appeared on NBTC, EEC & BIS databases.
The Poco X5 Pro has appeared on NBTC and EEC with model number 2210132G, while the Bureau of Indian Standard has it listed with 22101320I. The POCO X5 Pro NBTC certification listing attests to the smartphone’s name. Nothing else is revealed in the certification aside from that. The POCO X5 Pro will, however, be a rebranded Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, which was just released in China, according to the model number.
Redmi-Note-12-Pro-Speed-Edition
Poco X5 Pro specs
Considering that the Poco X5 Pro is a rebranded Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, it will likely pack a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, combined with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, will most likely power the smartphone. The device’s 5,000mAh battery might enable 67W fast charging.
The Poco smartphone might have a 16MP front-facing camera. While for photography, it might have a triple back camera array with a 108MP main sensor as its spotlight. An 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro camera are anticipated to be used in addition to the primary sensor.
The device’s specifications might match those of the Redmi Note 12 SE, but it might have a different design. We say this since the Poco X4 Pro from last year, which had a unique design but was also rebranded, was also a rebranded device.
The global release of the Oppo Find N2 Flip is approaching. According to a recent report, it should be available in India by the conclusion of the first quarter of 2023. The device has appeared on multiple certification databases, with the most recent one being GCF. Now, it has made an appearance on the NBTC website, hinting that the device might soon debut in Thailand.
The listing on NBTC certifies the name and model number linked with it for the global market. The model number for the Oppo Find N2 Flip is CPH2437. Other than that, the listing does not mention any further details. However, as the smartphone is already available in China, we already know all the details about this device.
Oppo Find N2 Flip specs
The Find N2 Flip will have a Full HD+ AMOLED display of 6.8 inches. A 120Hz refresh rate will be supported by the foldable screen. Additionally, the top will have a hole-punch cutout for the 32MP front camera.
The Find N2 Flip’s exterior sports a large cover display. It offers a typical 60Hz refresh rate and is 3.26 inches tall. A dual camera arrangement is also included with the foldable phone. It sports a 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. A 32MP front camera is available for taking selfies.
The phone is powered by a Dimensity 9000+ SoC. It was introduced in China with 256GB of internal storage and up to 12GB of RAM. The 4300mAh battery of the Find N2 Flip supports 44W rapid charging right out of the box. Running on top of Android 13 is ColorOS 13.
The next generation of Oppo flagship smartphones called the Oppo Find X6 series is said to debut in Q1 2023. The series is expected to feature two devices, namely the Find X6 and the Find X6 Pro. Ahead of the launch, many key details of these devices have been uncovered through leaks and certifications.
Now, live images of the Oppo Find X6 Pro have emerged online. The images come from Weibo tipster 机海风云 (Via /Leaks). Taking a look at the images, it is quite clear that Oppo is indeed following the design that has already appeared in the leaked renders. The claims about the device being quite chunky also appear to be true. But what’s most interesting is the massive camera bump of the device.
The thickness of this device and its camera module begs the question: Is the device comfortable to hold? Is the weight balance natural or is the top side heavier?
Other than that, the image also reveals that the device has a curved display, a power button on the right side, a speaker grille on the top, and glass covering the massive camera module. Let’s take a look at other details that are known so far.
Oppo Find X6 Pro specs
According to rumors, the Find X6 Pro would boast a 6.8- or 6.9-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. A 5,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging is most likely included. The Android 12 OS, which is based on ColorOS 13, will come preinstalled.
The Find X6 Pro is believed to have three 50-megapixel cameras on the rear with up to 120x zoom functionality. A 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 main camera with OIS is anticipated to be part of the Find X6 Pro’s rear camera arrangement. It features the same 1-inch camera sensor as the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. It will be aided by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 ultra-wide camera with autofocus. A 50-megapixel periscope camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS will be the third sensor. It is not yet known if it will use a Sony IMX890 or IMX766 sensor. The punch-hole in the front will feature a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor.
Vivo is reportedly working on the global launch of the Vivo X90 and Vivo X90 Pro, which feature the Dimensity 9200 chipset. Rumors are rife that the Vivo X90 Pro+, which debuted as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone in November 2022 in China, will not release in the global market. A new report by Pricebaba has tipped the global launch date of the Vivo X90 series.
