Apple is obviously facing significant hurdles with the development of its own AI-powered Apple Intelligence and the upgraded virtual assistant Siri. The company first announced Apple Intelligence during WWDC 2024, but failed to deliver.

However, that story was based on an internal report by one of Apple's employees. A company executive was asked about this by CNBC and the answer was simple yet reassuring: "Still on...

Sony has introduced a new color for its flagship wireless WH-1000XM6 headphones. Not to be confused with the recently launched WF-1000XM6, which are the in-ear model. The WH-1000XM6 will now be available in Sand Pink. This is a very light, pastel shade of pink that really challenges the notion of what pink really is. You get the same soft-touch matte texture all over with a fine speckled finish when viewed up close. Completing the look are rose gold highlights around the hinges. The Sand Pink is the fourth color option for these headphones, which were previously...

Chinese smartphone makers' obsession with Apple and 'emulating' the Cupertino company's designs shows no sign of stopping. Today a new render leaked in China, purportedly showing us the Xiaomi 18, which is only due to be unveiled in September. There's still a very long time to go until then, which is why you should take this with a grain of salt, but anyway, here it is: the iPhone 16 Pro in all its glory. Sorry, we meant the Xiaomi 18.
