Introducing Official Capacitor Skills
3 June 2026 @ 1:16 pm
Whether you love it or hate it, AI is changing how we work as developers, and you’ve been adapting right along with it. New tools, new habits, new ways of getting code out the door. Which is probably why you’ve wondered why Capacitor doesn’t have any official AI tools of its own yet. The Capacitor […]

Capacitor Showcase – LocalLLM
14 May 2026 @ 2:56 pm
With Capacitor, anything you can build for the web, you can build for mobile. Beyond brochure and CRUD apps, it’s possible to build advanced applications that rely heavily on native hardware functionality, rich media and local first data. Starting this year, the Capacitor Team is embarking on a process to explore the real world ergonomics […]

16 March 2026 @ 5:16 pm

Well we’re aiming to solve that problem and we can use your help to define the roadmap of Ionic products! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new, dedicated […]

Keeping Capacitor’s Backlog Healthy
2 February 2026 @ 4:04 pm
The Capacitor project has grown tremendously since its inception, and the pace of active development and community contributions is a testament to its success. With that growth came a reality we need to own as maintainers: over time, we did not invest enough consistent attention in open-source triage and follow-through. As a result, technical debt […]

Swift Package Manager and Capacitor
9 October 2025 @ 2:00 pm
As an iOS developer, I’ve always found Dependency management for iOS to be a chore. For the first four years of the iPhone platform, we didn’t have any options at all. That changed in September of 2011 with the creation and release of Cocoapods by Elon Durán. Written in Ruby, Cocoapods made it possible to properly […]

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series recently received the June 2026 Android security update, which included three Galaxy AI features introduced with the Galaxy S26 series and previously excluded from the One UI 8.5 stable build for the S25 lineup. The same thing happened with the Galaxy Z Fold7, which has now received two of those Galaxy AI features with the June 2026 Android security update.
The Galaxy AI features that the S25 series received are Prioritize Notifications, Summarize Notifications (Notification Highlights), and File Summaries. However, the Fold7 only got two of them - Prioritize...
vivo continues to tease the X Fold6 ahead of its expected launch later this month. Following the confirmation of OriginOS 6 Fold and its productivity-focused features, the company has now disclosed the chipset that will power the foldable.
In a post on Weibo, a vivo executive revealed that the X Fold6 will be the world's first foldable phone powered by a new MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super Edition chipset.
According to vivo, this customized version of the processor has been under development for over 2 years and was specifically designed for foldable devices. It is said to deliver...
Oppo launched the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro in China last month, and the Reno16 family is now expected to be launching in Europe imminently. There will apparently be three members over there: the Reno16, Reno16 Pro, and the Reno16 FS.
This has been revealed by a retailer listing in Italy. While the retailer doesn't reveal any specs aside from the fact that they all have 5G support, it does give us some rough pricing information. We say "rough" because these are obviously not final recommended retail prices, since they're not the usual format - 899.90, 1,049.90, that sort of...
Nothing unveiled the Ear (3) earbuds in September of last year, but just like the Nothing Headphone (1) has a cheaper version in the Nothing Headphone (a), the company is also going to launch the Ear (3a) as a more affordable alternative to the Ear (3) soon.
A new leak today tells us that the Ear (3a) will be available in white, black, yellow, and pink. Their pricing in France is expected to be €99. That's the same price at which the Nothing Ear (a) launched back in 2024.
Nothing Ear (3)
For comparison, note that the Nothing Ear (3) launched at €179 in the Eurozone. So the Ear (3a)...
This is the brand-new Tecno Pova 8, and it brings a design-first approach to the lower midrange segment. But first order of business, what do you get in the box?
Pova 8 ships with a clear silicone case, a 45W charger and a USB-C cable.
Now that we have that covered, we can go over the phone’s key feature – the Alive Matrix Display. It’s a tiny LED status display, which occupies its own cutout in the triangular camera island.
With 104 individual LEDs, it can quickly alert you for incoming notifications but that’s far from the only useful bit. Similar to the Nothing Phone (3)...
The Honor X80 Pro Max is coming later this month with a rumored 11,000 mAh battery, paired with support for 90W fast wired charging. Now, the device has seemingly been caught out in the open somewhere in China, and the following hands-on images ensued.
The rear seems to have a fake leather finish, and as you can see it's two-tone. The huge central circular camera island advertises a 50MP sensor (probably for the main camera), while the screen has tiny bezels on all four sides and a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera.

Motorola launched the Moto G87 back in late April, releasing it in May, and now it's kind of launched it again, in Brazil. But it's called Moto G Max over there for whatever reason. The Moto G Max can be yours from Motorola's Brazilian online store for BRL 2,519.10, which right now translates into $488.

For that amount of cash you get a smartphone with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with "1.5K" resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000-nit peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i on top. The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM...
According to sources familiar with the matter, TSMC is working on a cutting-edge technology for chip packaging called CoPoS. CoPoS means Chip-on-Panel-on-Structure, and it uses a glass material that acts as a temporary carrier, and it also goes into the final substrate with a three-layer sandwich structure.
Reportedly, TSMC will start mass production of chips using CoPoS by the end of 2028. The new tech will supposedly bring down manufacturing costs and improve performance.
In fact, Nvidia's Feynman AI chipset will be the first one to use CoPoS. That's because the next-generation...
Apple has been rumored to launch its first touchscreen MacBook later this year, and we now have yet another indication that it is indeed happening.
A new post from a Chinese leakster Instant Digital reiterates what we’ve already seen from previous reports – an upcoming MacBook will feature a touchscreen. Now the leakster does not specify which model of MacBook they are referring to, but the previous reports we’ve seen all point to it being the MacBook Ultra.
While no MacBook to date has featured a touchscreen, the latest macOS 27 Golden Gate does bring touch input for Sidecar,...
The Trump Mobile T1 Phone was announced last year and went through quite a few design iterations in the meantime, but now seems to have been finalized. The phone has started shipping to some media outlets (around nine months after it was first promised to), and the actual device does look a lot like the HTC U24 Pro from 2024, just with a different color and back panel.
[#InlinePriceWidget,13138,1#]
A teardown has now pretty much confirmed this. The teardown experts at iFixit have done their magic and exposed the fact that the two devices are nearly identical, just as we thought they...
