It’s been the best part of four years since the previous Apple TV 4K arrived – and it seems certain that we’ll get a new version of the streaming box soon. Yet nothing appeared (rather disappointingly) at Apple’s March 2026 event or in the product reveals around it. Now that we’ve got a revamped version of Siri called Siri AI, this looks about to change, and we’re expecting an updated Apple TV Pro or revised Apple TV 4K to debut at Apple’s ‘Welcome Home’ launch on October 13 2026 – here’s what to expect from the behind closed doors event.…

Are you excited about the potential of an Apple HomePod with a display? Smart speakers have come a long way, but even the best ones still have their limitations. Voice assistants are helpful, but sometimes a screen just makes things easier – whether it’s checking the weather, following a recipe, or managing your smart home with a quick tap. That’s why tech brands started to add displays to their smart speakers, transforming them into versatile hubs for both voice and touch control. Amazon’s Echo Show lineup leads the pack but there’s also been various attempts by Google and other brands. While…

The beauty of Apple’s AirPods is that they connect in seconds (if you have an iPhone or iPad). Flip the lid, tap ‘Connect’ when the card appears, job done, and back to pretending you can’t hear your kids or colleagues. If that’s all you’ve done, though, you’ve been missing out. Apple tucks many features and settings behind that single tap, and most are off or buried three menus deep, so unless you know where to look, you might miss them. Spend 10 minutes reading this delight of a feature, followed by 10 more minutes in the Apple settings menu for…

Are your Bluetooth headphones sounding unusually quiet without any apparent reason? Before you decide that the unit you received may be faulty, or the model has not been tuned well, make sure to check out a few key settings on your Android device. I was recently facing a similar issue. To fix it, I had to access an option that is usually hidden by default and needs to be unlocked manually. Related My phone was sending my Bluetooth speaker the worst possible audio until I flicked this one switch If your speaker’s audio quality is subpar, there are a host…

I’ve always associated good projectors with bulk, and for good reason. I’ve tried a few smaller projectors myself, and while they work fine, especially for the price, they’re not quite the projection quality you’d want. They’re often too dim, too soft, or too awkward to set up for anything useful. The Aurzen ZIP Pro changes that equation entirely. It’s a projector that only measures 4.5 x 3.8 x 1.7 inches when folded and weighs 1.29 pounds. It runs off a built-in battery, has speakers, supports USB-C display input and USB-C charging, and fits just about anywhere you want, all while…

Most iPhone gaming news is of the “I can’t believe I’m playing Assassin’s Creed: Mirage on a smartphone without it melting” variety. But as impressive as having AAA games in your trousers might be, it’s not what I first loved about iPhone gaming. Mostly because there weren’t AAA iPhone games back in the day. That didn’t bother me, though, because I instead immersed myself in countless inventive indie titles. The gaming landscape has changed dramatically since then. One thing hasn’t. The iPhone still plays host to a huge range of games made by individuals and small teams. And these are often more…

Apple is set to hold a ‘Welcome Home’ event which appears to be behind closed doors for the media. As of now, there’s no ‘Welcome Home’ info on the Apple Events webpage and no livestream has been scheduled on YouTube or the Apple TV app. So the event doesn’t appear to be like Apple’s usual public keynotes – such as its September 9 event this year where it revealed the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, Watch Series 12, Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5. The event will be held in New York this Tuesday, October 13, centred around Apple Home…

The ‘HomePod with a screen’ smart speaker has long been rumored – we first wrote about it in March 2024. However, it is not only now nailed-on to be happening at a now-announced Apple Event tomorrow but it will be joined by a new HomePod Mini and new Apple TV 4K which may be called the Apple TV Pro. After leaks at the weekend courtesy of Bloomberg, it appears the smart display will actually be called Apple HomeView and may mean that the previous HomePod smart speaker is discontinued. The device was previously rumored to be called the HomePad and…

For years, women’s health on a fitness tracker meant a glorified period calendar. You logged your flow manually (requiring you to remember to do so), and you’d get a vague prediction for the following month (only helpful for those with regular cycles). That was about it. The same device would happily tell you your VO2 Max to two decimal places, but when it came to correlating your energy score with your cycle phase, you’d be out of luck. That’s finally starting to change (albeit slowly). It hasn’t happened because of a single breakthrough, but because several pieces of the puzzle…
