9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-30 04:03:11

IDC’s report on worldwide “wrist-worn” devices for the second quarter of 2025 is out, and it shows mixed results for the Apple Watch. Here is the breakdown. Xiaomi leads in growth, while Samsung lags behind During the second quarter last year, IDC determined that Apple had shipped 5.7 million Apple Watch units, falling closely behind Xiaomi’s 5.9 million shipped units and further behind Huawei’s 8.9 million. That difference was mirrored in market share as well, with Huawei taking the top spot

Samsung wasn’t even the second-most popular foldable maker in Q2 2025

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 12:29:03

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung only accounted for third place in foldable phone shipments in Q2 2025, according to Counterpoint Research. HUAWEI was in first place, while Motorola was the runner-up. This report doesn’t take Samsung’s latest foldables into account, as they launched in Q3. Foldable phones only account for a small number of smartphones shipping globally, but a new market share report has revealed some bad news for Samsung for Q2 2025. Counterpoint Research has p

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is enough of a hit that Samsung is cranking up production

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 20:41:43

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has raised September Galaxy Z Fold 7 production to 260,000 units, up 60,000 from earlier plans. August Fold 7 output hit 430,000 units, well above the 170,000 initially targeted, while Flip 7 production fell short. Shipments could exceed Samsung’s 2.4 million-unit goal for 2025. Samsung’s top-end foldable might come with a heavy price tag, but that hasn’t stopped demand from forcing the company to build more. Samsung has reportedly raised its Sep

Looking to Buy a Window Air Conditioner? Read This First

wired.com Lisa Wood Shapiro 2025-10-27 15:08:00

As is the case for many people, my home cannot be retrofitted with central air. My 100-plus-year-old Brooklyn apartment, which features prominently in my seven years of air quality reporting for WIRED, relies on window air conditioning units to keep cool on our warming planet. While there is the obvious paradox that air conditioners are players in climate change, AC units are evolving with more environmentally safe refrigerants, eco modes, smart apps, modern design, and energy-efficient consumpt

States and cities decimated SROs, Americans' lowest-cost housing option

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-02 18:43:29

Overview Low-cost micro-units, often called single-room occupancies, or SROs, were once a reliable form of housing for the United States’ poorest residents of, and newcomers to, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other major U.S. cities. Well into the 20th century, SROs were the least expensive option on the housing market, providing a small room with a shared bathroom and sometimes a shared kitchen for a price that is unimaginable today—as little as $100 to $300 a month (in 2025 dollar

Long time no post! I got hired to do some writing and editing for a nootropics startup, but i’m finally back!

Our Galaxy Z Fold 7 opens perfectly flat, but shoppers are reporting issue with demo units

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Some shoppers have noticed that Galaxy Z Fold 7 demo units in stores aren’t opening fully flat, sparking concerns online. Other users, including our team, report no such issues, suggesting this might be limited to specific demo units. Samsung’s updated hinge design could still fall within the 178.5–181.5 degree opening range, but we’re awaiting official confirmation and durability specs.

Exclusive: Google Pixel 10’s display could hurt your eyes less — but only if you go Pro

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL displays could be better for people who are sensitive to PWM dimming. Google is considering an upgrade to 480Hz dimming for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL. The regular model, as well as the Fold, may stick to 240Hz. The displays are also planned to be brighter by about 200 nits across the board. Since the launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google has been revising its Pixel strategy.

Google’s got some bright ideas for Pixel 10 screen upgrades

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s preparing some screen upgrades for the Pixel 10 family, including a more eye-friendly PWM mode. In addition to that, we’re also expecting brighter panels for the Pixel 10 line’s displays. All Pixel 10 phones should be at least 200 nits brighter than their Pixel 9 equivalents.

Dell 32 Plus QD-OLED Review: HDR and OLED Dream

wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-03-09 02:00:00

Speaking of that bottom bezel, you’ll notice the camera dead center below the screen—normally a very odd place for a webcam. But that’s because this camera isn’t for Zoom calls. Instead, it’s for tracking your head in 3D space to create the monitor's claims of “spatial audio.” Using beamforming technology, the speakers can create virtual surround sound in compatible games and movies. It’s not perfect, but it can add an extra immersive element. (It only works with one person at a time.) While th

Consumer TVs with HDR functionality started shipping in 2015, and seeing that most consumers replace their TV every 6.4 years this means a high percentage console owners in 2025 now game

Having central air is nice, but not every living space comes with that luxury.

Thankfully, there are also portable air conditioner units. With one of these, you can get your desired temperature without having to install a permanent unit, and they can be much more affordable than central air. You can move them around the house if needed, too. Along wit
