According to tipster Kosutami on X, Apple could soon launch the AirPods Pro 3. The AirPods Pro 2 was launched towards the end of 2022. Previously, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman speculated that Apple may launch the AirPods Pro 3 sometime in 2025.
According to the tipster, the AirPods Pro 3 will offer a much better ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) feature as compared to the AirPods Pro 2. Although, he didn’t share any more details about it. Apple advertises the AirPods Pro 2 to feature an up to twice as capable active noise cancellation system as compared to the first generation AirPods Pro. It will be interesting to see how much of an improvement the AirPods Pro 3 brings.
In addition to the improved ANC feature, the AirPods Pro 3 is also rumored to introduce new health-tracking features.
Mark Gurman also previously speculated that Apple may have plans to add the noise cancellation feature to the AirPods 4, which is expected to launch sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. According to recent reports, the AirPods 4 could launch as soon as September this year alongside the iPhone 16 lineup.
Notably, the AirPods 4 is expected to come in two different versions. Both of them are rumored to feature a revised design that aims to offer a better fit and sound quality. The charging case could also be updated with a Type-C port. One of the two versions of the AirPods 4 is also said to equip a speaker in the charging case that can play a sound for Find My Location tracking.
In terms of core configuration, AirPods 4 is expected to be equipped with Apple’s self-developed H2 audio analysis chip, which is expected to have a higher computing power. It could be due to the addition of noise cancellation and it may also offer slightly better sound quality.
Xiaomi, a global technology leader, is reportedly undergoing a strategic shift in its TV business, gradually phasing out certain low-cost TV models in the Chinese market to concentrate on building a more integrated business ecosystem.
According to CNMO, this move is part of Xiaomi’s broader strategy to move beyond hardware sales and tap into recurring revenue opportunities through internet services.
Xiaomi Prioritizes Ecosystem Over Hardware Profits
While Xiaomi has experienced substantial growth in its smartphone and AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) segments, the low-profit margins from budget TVs have limited its ability to generate significant backend revenue.
The company reported a strong second quarter of 2024, with revenue and profit reaching new highs. Innovative businesses, such as smart electric vehicles, contributed significantly to this growth, accounting for 7.2% of total revenue.
Xiaomi’s AIoT platform, which links various smart devices, has also expanded impressively, with a 25.6% year-over-year increase in connected devices and a surge in monthly active users on the Mi Home app.
As part of its strategic transformation, Xiaomi is prioritizing three key growth areas: smartphones and wearables, home appliances, and smart mobility devices. By focusing on these segments, the company aims to create a more interconnected and value-driven ecosystem for its users.
While discontinuing low-cost TV models might impact Xiaomi’s market share in the short term, it aligns with the company’s long-term vision of becoming a leading player in the technology industry. By shifting focus to higher-margin products and services, Xiaomi aims to enhance its profitability and strengthen its competitive position.
Apple Intelligence is expected to be a major selling point for both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series. Apple has already withheld some of its latest AI features from older iPhones, reportedly due to insufficient system memory.
According to a recent tip from Weibo tipster “Mobile phone chip expert,” (translated from Chinese) the iPhone 17 series may feature 12GB of RAM, a significant upgrade from the 8GB RAM rumored for the iPhone 16 lineup.
iPhone 17 lineup may run more complex AI features on-device as compared to iPhone 16 lineup
This increase in RAM could allow the iPhone 17 series to support more on-device AI features than the iPhone 16 models. Currently, many Apple Intelligence features rely on cloud servers, which could raise privacy concerns. The shift to on-device processing in the iPhone 17 lineup might make it worth waiting for, especially if privacy is a priority.
Analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities previously mentioned that the iPhone 17 Pro models would come with 12GB of RAM. However, the latest rumor doesn’t clarify whether this upgrade applies to the entire iPhone 17 lineup or just the Pro models.
The iPhone 16 series is rumored to include a more capable Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling more complex AI features. However, with only 8GB of RAM, the iPhone 16 may still fall short in fully utilizing on-device AI, which could make it less appealing for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users considering an upgrade.
In contrast, the iPhone 17 series, particularly the Pro models, could push Apple’s focus on edge AI further. The 12GB RAM might also enable game developers to offer higher-quality textures in select mobile games.
Speaking of the iPhone 16 series, Angelo Zino, a CFRA Research technology analyst noted that the outlook for the iPhone 16 is muted since the new AI features will be rolled out over the next few years. According to him, enhanced Siri may even come as late as 2025.

HMD has finally released the Barbie Phone after teasers and sightings in certifications. The new feature phone looks a lot like a toy phone and brings an iconic bright pink design that Barbie is known for. So what makes it special and is it worth buying? Let’s check it out
1. HMD Barbie Phone: Childhood Phone Meets Childhood Toy
Growing up in the early 2000s, feature phones were a ubiquitous part of everyday life, much like smartphones are today. Mattel’s Hotwheels were a popular toy series, while Barbie dolls were a cultural icon. While HMD’s Barbie Phone doesn’t revolutionize the flip phone formula, it offers a nostalgic throwback that blends these two past icons. This device takes you back to a simpler time with its focus solely on calls and texts – nothing more, nothing less.
2. Let’s talk Specs
The HMD Barbie Phone sports a 2.8-inch QVGA display on the inside, complemented by a smaller 1.77-inch cover screen on the outer panel. Under the hood, it is powered by the Unisoc T107 processor, coupled with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of internal storage. Users can expand the storage by up to 32GB via a microSD card slot. The device runs on the S30+ OS out of the box.
A 1,450mAh battery pack powers the device, promising up to 9 hours of talk time. For photography, it features a VGA camera on the rear with an LED flash module. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM Radio, and an MP3 player.
3. So is it worth the price?
HMD’s Barbie Phone was announced in the UK and Europe for 99 GBP and 129 EUR respectively. The initial sales are already live, with a planned release in the US in September priced at 129 US Dollars. If you’re in the market for a phone that lets you relive the past, the HMD Barbie Phone could be an appealing option.
While Barbie’s resurgence stemmed from a movie released over a year ago, it might seem a bit late to the hot pink bandwagon. Nonetheless, it remains a quirky product that can be used or collected as a special edition without breaking the bank.
Fitness trackers have become increasingly popular, promising to help users stay on top of their health and fitness goals. These devices offer a wealth of data, from step counts to heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and even stress levels. But before you rush to buy one, it’s crucial to ask yourself if you’re truly ready to commit. A fitness tracker isn’t just a gadget; it’s a lifestyle tool that requires consistent use and dedication to yield meaningful results.
The Real Demands of Owning a Fitness Tracker
One of the main reasons to reconsider buying a fitness tracker is the commitment it demands. These devices track your activity 24/7, and to get the most out of them, you need to engage with the data they provide. This means not only wearing the tracker every day but also regularly reviewing your stats, setting realistic goals, and making adjustments to your daily routine. If you’re not ready to commit to this level of engagement, the tracker may end up being just another expensive accessory, rather than a useful tool.
Fitness trackers also rely heavily on accurate and consistent data to provide meaningful insights. For example, the heart rate monitors in these devices use optical sensors that need to be in close contact with your skin at all times. If you aren’t diligent about wearing the tracker regularly or correctly, the data may be inaccurate, leading to misleading results. Moreover, most fitness trackers use algorithms to estimate calories burned, sleep stages, and other metrics. These algorithms are only as good as the data fed into them, which requires consistent and correct usage on your part.
Another aspect to consider is the psychological impact. Fitness trackers can be highly motivating for some people, pushing them to achieve their daily goals. However, they can also lead to frustration if the goals set by the tracker feel unattainable, or if the constant monitoring starts to feel like a burden. If you’re not mentally prepared to engage with your health data on a daily basis, the tracker might end up causing more stress than benefit.
Some advanced fitness trackers like the Apple Watch or Fitbit Charge 6 come with additional features like ECG monitoring and SpO2 tracking. These are powerful tools that can provide deep insights into your health, but they also come with a steeper learning curve and demand even more commitment to use effectively. If you’re not ready to fully utilize these features, you might be paying for capabilities you’ll never use.

It is officially confirmed that the Infinix Hot 50 5G will come equipped with the Dimensity 6300. This indicates that it will have an affordable price tag and could be priced at around Rs 12,000.
The Infinix Hot 50 5G will be available in 4 GB and 8 GB RAM variants. Both models are expected to offer 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. While the battery size of the device has not been revealed, the company confirmed that it will have a thin profile of 7.8mm. The Hot 50 5G’s other specifications remain undisclosed.

Recently, a new Vivo phone bearing the V2410A model number was approved by China’s 3C certification platform. The same device, which is believed to be the upcoming Vivo Y300 Pro 5G, was also spotted in Geekbench’s database recently.

Vivo Y300 Pro 5G key specifications, design
According to Jingdong, the Vivo Y300 Pro will be the latest addition to the Vivo Y series, which has earned a reputation for being durable, user-friendly, and widely popular, serving over 300 million users globally. This device exemplifies Vivo’s strategy of “decentralization,” where advanced features typically found in flagship phones are introduced to the Y series, making it highly competitive in its category. However, the Y300 Pro goes beyond this approach by adopting a “leapfrogging” strategy, introducing the latest and most powerful features even before they appear in flagship models, ensuring a significant upgrade in user experience.
The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G also introduces Vivo’s latest display technology, featuring a 6.77-inch micro-quad-curved OLED screen. The display offers an ultra-bright 5000nit brightness, making it ideal for outdoor use. The screen is designed with eye protection in mind, incorporating technologies like blue light filtering and anti-strobe features. Both the National Ophthalmology Engineering Centre and SGS have certified it for eye protection. When it comes to durability, the Vivo Y300 is SGS-certified for drop resistance, dustproof, and waterproof capabilities.
A major highlight of the Y300 Pro is its 6,500mAh Blue Ocean battery that offers up to 12.1 hours of gaming time on a single charge. Despite its massive battery, the phone remains incredibly thin at 7.69mm and is designed to last for five years. It supports 80W wired charging, wireless charging, and reverse charging. Vivo’s innovative Extreme Graphite Technology achieves this high energy efficiency by optimizing the battery’s structure for maximum capacity without increasing its size.
The Y300 Pro’s rear camera features a 50-megapixel primary camera, while it has a 32-megapixel on the front for selfies. In terms of design and camera capabilities, the Y300 Pro impresses with a flagship design language, including a jade ring lens module and a 360-degree sun texture.
The phone also enhances the popular “career mode,” now in its second generation, tailored for professional use by riders, with features like enhanced hands-free calls, improved network optimization, and intelligent assistance during delivery tasks. The Y300 Pro is available in four distinct color options, such as Titanium, Gold Inlaid Jade, Mutton Fat White, and Black Jade Black.
The Geekbench listing of the device revealed that the Vivo Y300 Pro will have the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 14. The device will succeed the Snapdragon 695-powered Vivo Y200 Pro from last year.
Oppo is expected to hold a launch event in China this October, where the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are anticipated to make their debut. The event may also introduce other devices, including the Oppo Pad 3 Pro and the Enco X3 TWS earbuds. In a recent Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the key specifications of the company’s next-generation flagship TWS earbuds.

According to DCS, the Oppo Enco X3 will feature a dual dynamic driver setup, combining an 11mm bass driver with a 6mm tweeter. The earbuds are equipped with the BES2700 chipset from Hengxuan, which supports advanced audio processing.
For an enhanced listening experience, the Enco X3 will also incorporate adaptive active noise cancellation that can reduce ambient noise by up to 50dB, and the sound tuning has been done in collaboration with Dynaudio. Additionally, the earphones feature custom dual DACs, further refining the sound quality.
For clear voice transmission during calls, the Enco X3 will come equipped with a three-microphone setup combined with a VPU bone conduction sensor. The earphones also support high-speed data transmission with a rate of 1Mbps, along with wireless transmission of lossless audio at 192kHz/24bit, ensuring a premium listening experience.
The Enco X3 offers durability and convenience, with an IP55 rating that protects against dust and water. The earbuds will support Bluetooth 5.4 technology as well as LHDC 5.0 for high-resolution wireless audio. The Enco X3 will support the sliding touch controls on the stems. When it comes to design, it will look identical to the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, which debuted recently in the global market.
In terms of battery life, each earbud will have a 58mAh battery, while the charging case will pack a 566mAh battery. This combination will deliver extended usage time, with the added convenience of both 10W wired charging and wireless charging options.
