Apple Already Has the Ideal AI Gadget (It Just Needs One More Thing)

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-18 05:00:00

Apple is reportedly testing several ways to revamp the Siri voice assistant — and one feature could change how often iPhone owners need to look at a screen. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report highlighted how Apple is testing Siri features that add voice controls to non-Apple apps, including Amazon, Instagram and Uber. The idea is that with just your voice, you might be able to add an item to your shopping cart. Or maybe you could take, edit and post a photo to Instagram — all in a chat with

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The AI-epidemic of the internet is no joke, with every website, service, and platform looking to offer its own version of an LLM-powered helpful assistant. The platform previously known as Twitter has Grok, Meta has MetaAI, and if you’re a service that doesn’t quite have the engineering might of a Silicon Valley AI startup, you’ve got a partnership.

NordVPN deal: Get up to 77 percent off two-year plans

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-18 10:20:35

There are dozens of VPNs to choose from, but to think they're all created equally would be a mistake. Some are better than others, and NordVPN sits squarely in the better category. Now, you can save up to 77 percent on most of NordVPN's plans. Arguably the best plan for most people is the NordVPN Plus plan, which you can get two years of access for only $108 right now. That's 73 percent off the usual rate, and NordVPN throws in an addition three months for free, so you're actually getting a 27-m

OnePlus will limit bootloader unlocking, but it’s not all bad news

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 16:00:10

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus is placing new restrictions on bootloader unlocking. It requires filling out an application form and limits the number of requests to one every 30 days. Thankfully, these limitations only apply to Chinese users (so far) and only on devices running at least ColorOS 16 based on Android 16. Android has evolved significantly in the last decade, and one noticeable shift has been in the decline of custom development in Android. Custom ROMs or mods are f

The Morning After: Insta360’s first drone is unlike anything else

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-18 19:15:55

The Insta360 Antigravity A1 is a new 360-degree FPV drone from a spin-off brand called Antigravity. The A1 includes a drone, OLED Vision goggles and a Grip motion controller — it’s more of a set. The drone has two ultrawide cameras that can capture 8K video, and it uses stitching algorithms to make the drone invisible in the final footage. When I tested out the preproduction model in Germany, the flying experience is different but surprisingly intuitive, even for new pilots, and the goggles str
