Report: Apple’s all-new smart home hub is no longer likely to launch this year

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-08-05 00:32:57

The all-new smart home hub was supposed to be Apple’s star of the show this year. There was just one problem: Siri. After a multitude of Siri hiccups and delays, it begun to look more and more unlikely that the product would launch in 2025. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that a 2026 launch is almost a guarantee. Originally, it seemed all but confirmed that we’d see the Apple smart home hub around March or so. The product was well rumored throughout 2024, and we essentially know every

Here's How to Turn Off Some Annoying iPhone Texting Features

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-04 22:00:04

Texting is one of the easiest ways to stay in touch with friends and family, and if you can't find the right words to use in a text, you can always use an emoji. But you might find some texting features on iPhone to be downright annoying. Some of the biggest culprits include autocorrect and predictive texting. Autocorrect can cut down on the number of typos when you're typing, and predictive texting can make it easy to write a full message in a few quick taps. But when I use these features, mor

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-08-05 00:00:00

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs. The compromise scales ultimately tipped against the Gram Pro in 2024, but I’ll give credit to LG for staying the course and continuing to iterate on this design, and fixing many of the flaws
