C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is likely working on two new earbud models: the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. The Galaxy Buds Core may succeed the Galaxy Buds FE, potentially skipping the “Galaxy Buds 2 FE/Galaxy Buds FE 2” name. Based on the model numbers, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE could further extend the lineup even though the Buds 2 FE don’t exist. Samsung makes some great earbuds that complement Galaxy devices very well.

MagSafe Monday: UGREEN’s 145W Power Bank is a MagSafe beast that charges everything

Over the years, I’ve tested my fair share of portable battery packs and desk docks. Most of them fall into two categories: slim and convenient or bulky and powerful. The UGREEN Nexode Power Bank manages to be both. It’s MagSafe compatible, supports Qi2, and has enough power to top off a MacBook Pro in less than an hour. If you’re looking for one device that can charge your whole Apple setup at once, this might be the one. I use it daily. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security System Abode

Apple explains Siri delays, teases more new features are coming

During its WWDC keynote, Apple addressed one big elephant in the room: Siri’s delayed features that were announced last year but never shipped. And now in a new interview, Siri’s recently-appointed boss Craig Federighi has explained more of the reasoning behind the delay, and teased even more new features are coming. Craig Federighi promises Apple will ship every Siri feature previously announced ‘and more’ Craig Federighi is Apple’s software chief, and as such tends to get a lot of PR time du

WhatsApp is getting AI-powered summaries for unread chats

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-22 04:47:51

When Apple’s AI summaries for notifications work, they can be pretty useful. However, with Apple Intelligence limited to select devices, most iPhone users still can’t take advantage of it. Now, WhatsApp is testing its own in-app, AI-powered feature that summarizes unread messages in chats, groups, and channels. Here’s how it works. As uncovered by WABetaInfo (via Tecnoblog), WhatsApp’s AI summaries are being tested on Android, and are opt-in through a feature called Private Processing. Once ac

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-21 23:20:53

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery.

Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Rolling Out Soon—With One Big Unanswered Question

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously? But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi.
