Hands on: Spigen adds to C1 line with iMac G3-inspired Apple Watch stand

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2026-02-19 10:18:47

Spigen is one of my favorite Apple accessory companies because they know how to evoke nostalgia. Last year I picked up their C1 iPhone case and Magsafe wallet that themed my iPhone 16 Pro Max like the old school iMac G3 that I grew up using in school. I loved every part of that experience, and it was a great conversation starter! This year, they have added to their C1 lineup with their Apple Watch stand that isn’t just themed after the iMac G3, but looks like a tiny G3 iMac. Here is what you sho

Apple CarPlay Ultra vs. Google Built-In: How the Next-Gen Auto Software Rivals Compare

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-19 10:00:03

I'd spent an hour driving a $250,000-plus Aston Martin up the Los Angeles coast when my hunger pangs became impossible to ignore, and as I've done many times before, I asked Siri (through Apple CarPlay) to find me a taco place. But then I did something no other car on the planet allows: I asked Siri to blast the AC and make the air colder. That's because the 2025 Aston Martin DBX I drove was the first vehicle to come with Apple CarPlay Ultra, the upgraded version of the company's car software.

How accurate is Apple’s new transcription AI? We tested it against Whisper and Parakeet

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-19 15:04:49

As I pointed out recently, while Whisper is top of mind and still a pretty good transcription model, OpenAI has moved away from it. That said, the fact that Apple’s new transcription API is faster than Whisper is great news. But how accurate is it? We tested it out. Full disclosure: the idea for this post came from developer Prakash Pax, who did his own tests. As he explains it: I recorded 15 audio samples in English, randomly ranging from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. And tested against these 3 sp

If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have told you that the review you're about to read would be one of the most-read car reviews of the year. For a while—quite a long while, in fact—the Volkswagen ID Buzz was the hottest electric vehicle you couldn't buy. Starting in 2001, VW began teasing concept after concept that called back to its various Transporters and Kombis, classic microbuses reimagined as modern minivans.
