OnePlus tablets are getting one of Android’s best, and one of its worst, productivity features

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-04-09 17:00:37

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The latest OxygenOS 15 update brings Google’s Circle to Search and a new floating taskbar to the OnePlus Open and OnePlus Pad 2. Circle to Search allows users to quickly search anything on their screen by tapping, highlighting, or drawing over it. The floating taskbar, while aiming to balance productivity and screen real estate, lacks a quick toggle to switch styles and on tablets, it requires disabling gesture navigation for the fixed version.

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-04-09 20:14:41

If you ever need to transcribe audio or video to text, most current apps are powered by OpenAI’s Whisper model. You’re probably using this model if you use apps like MacWhisper to transcribe meetings or lectures, or to generate subtitles for YouTube videos. But iOS 26 and Apple’s other developer betas include the company’s own transcription frameworks – and a test suggests that they match Whisper’s accuracy while running at more than twice the speed … If you’ve ever used the built-in dictation

The iPhone Air may get a new battery-saving display – but not this year

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-04-09 20:47:41

One of the likely challenges of the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is battery life. Indeed, Apple’s own tests reportedly show that a lot of us wouldn’t make it through the day with the ultra-slim model. The company may have a fix for that in the works, in the form of a new power-efficient display upgrade. But Apple isn’t expected to incorporate the new tech before 2027 at the earliest … The iPhone 17 Air is set to be the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever made, but it’s going to come with some significant

Preparation of a neutral nitrogen allotrope hexanitrogen C2h-N6

As AgN 3 is an excellent reagent for the synthesis of polyazides35 and halogen azides both in the gas phase36 and in solution37,38, we suggest that the reaction of AgN 3 with XN 3 (X = halogen) is a viable route to N 6 (Fig. 1b). The reactions were conducted in either a quartz tube or a U-trap by flowing gaseous Cl 2 through solid AgN 3 under reduced pressure at room temperature (see the ‘Synthesis details’ section in Methods and Supplementary Fig. 1).
