One of the most beloved Pixel apps gets its Material 3 Expressive UI makeover

Image
One of the most beloved apps used by Pixel users is the Recorder app which uses on-device AI to record and transcribe audio into searchable text in real time. The app can record anything and the UI includes a reminder that users should "Record respectfully around others." Pixel 8 and newer models can generate an AI-powered summary of a transcript. The app's debut coincided with the release of the Pixel 4 series in 2019. What made the Recorder app such a big deal at the time was a new and groundbreaking feature for the time, on-device, real-time transcription. Other transcription services required an internet connection and uploaded your audio to a server. The Recorder app did all of this on-device making it more secure. The transcription feature was also quite fast and accurate for a mobile app. The Recorder app is now getting its Material 3 Expressive redesign which includes the newly renamed lozenge-shaped "Search recordings" field which was previously known a...

Apple Watch Ultra 3: here are 8 changes Apple may introduce in September

Image
  Apple's September event invites are already out, and we're going to see the new iPhone 17 lineup on September 9. The phones are said to be accompanied by an Apple Watch Series 11 . Now, rumor has it Apple is also prepping a successor to its rugged, super premium smartwatch, too: an Apple Watch Ultra 3 may also join the phones at the event.  The Apple Watch Ultra 3 may have a larger display alongside some new fancy improvements that you need to hear about.  A hint from the iOS 26 beta code indicates the Watch Ultra 3 may sport a larger display, with a resolution of 422 x 514 pixels. That's up from the Ultra 2's 410 x 502 resolution.  Reportedly, there won't be an increase in size for the timepiece, but Apple may have trimmed the bezels to expand the display without affecting the dimensions of the smartwatch. This, if true, will make the Ultra 3 the Apple Watch with the biggest display so far.  Refresh rate upgrade  Right now, the Apple Watch Series 10 ...

Galaxy S26 Ultra is already a winner in my book, thanks to Samsung's rumored move

Image
  Samsung killed the Galaxy Note 20 back in 2020, but it has only now begun letting go. For years, the S Ultra has been defined by the Note, but the Galaxy S26 Ultra is poised to break free from the shadow of that device, allowing it to truly shine on its own. Don't get me wrong, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the raddest phones around. It was the first S series handset to start distancing itself from the Note. Not only did it have a less angular design, but it also reduced emphasis on the S Pen stylus . Note loyalists always knew that the S Ultra was no Note, but it took Samsung more than five years to fully acknowledge that. The company has begrudgingly admitted that the Note formula cannot be replicated. Galaxy Note didn't suffer from impostor syndrome The Galaxy Note's success was rooted in its clear identity as a productivity powerhouse . It wasn't courting everyone willing to spend top dollar on a phone. Instead, the device only targeted those who valued ser...

iOS 26 is fixing one of Apple Wallet's most annoying tricks, but there's a catch

Image
 The stable version of iOS 26 is now just around the corner after months of beta testing. The new OS is coming with the iPhone 17 lineup in September and to the rest of all supported iPhones as well. Now, the new iOS brings several exciting new features, including the Liquid Glass redesign, but also, there are plenty of small tweaks to Apple apps, one of which eliminates an annoying Apple Wallet feature.  With iOS 26, there is a fix to disable an annoying type of push notifications.  Earlier this summer, Apple annoyed iPhone users with advertising with Wallet push notifications. The Cupertino tech company sent an ad for a ticket offer for F1 The Movie to a lot of iPhone users, and let's say, not everyone was thrilled about it.  Right now, there's no way to disable such notifications without turning off all Wallet notifications. And the Apple Wallet app is pretty crucial: housing the Apple Pay cards, boarding passes, concert tickets, ID cards, and more, for many peopl...

Samsung might have made a Galaxy S25 FE decision that'll actually make you happy

Image
  Samsung is gearing up to unveil the stripped-down version of its flagship Galaxy S25 , and while leaks have already painted a pretty clear picture of the Galaxy S25 FE – how it will look and what specs it might pack – one piece of the puzzle was still missing. Now, we finally have a good idea of what the price could be in the US. A new leak hints at what the US price could be for the next Fan Edition model , and the good news is that it might stay the same as the current generation. We've heard rumors like this before, but now the numbers are out in the open. The Galaxy S25 FE has popped up on the website of IT solutions company SHI , listing color options like Icy Blue , Jet Black , Navy , and White . According to the listing, the base 8 GB/128 GB model MSRP ( Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ) is $649.99, while the 8 GB/256 GB model recommended price is $709.99. The 512 GB version? Still MIA for now. If these numbers hold up, they line up perfectly with the Galaxy S...

Official iPhone 17 event invite hints Apple will blow your mind this year

Image
 After a torrent of rumors, Apple has officially announced when it will be holding an event to announce the iPhone 17. The company has started sending invites to media personalities. The event will take place on September 9, as expected. This will be an in-person event and take place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park. It will kick off at 10 am PT.

The best upgrades might be reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, whi...

Ferrari's Mid-Engine V-12 Supercar Is Back. But Not For Long

Image
 Ferrari sparked controversy when it launched the F80 with a V-6—half the cylinder count of the LaFerrari before it. Some enthusiasts took issue with the fact that, while the front-engine 12Cilindri and even the Purosangue SUV both rock V-12s, Maranello’s range-topping Prancing Horse had to make do with a six-cylinder mill. Nevertheless, the ultra-wealthy clientele snapped up all 799 cars anyway. But for those who believe there's no replacement for displacement, a pleasant surprise awaits, provided their pockets are deep enough. The V-12 is back behind the seats. The Daytona SP3 makes a surprising return, albeit as a one-off. The initial 599-unit run was sold out before the car's official 2021 debut. All 499 owners of the Monza SP1 and SP2 committed to buying the follow-up car from the Icona Series, and the remaining 100 vehicles were quickly claimed by other collectors. Now there’s a 600th car, and it hasn’t been sold yet. RM Sotheby’s will auction it next month during Montere...

Lanzante's New Supercar Has Three Seats and Costs Seven Figures

Image
 Who said all supercars are impractical? It certainly wasn’t Lanzante, because its new 95-59 can accommodate three people. An ode to the iconic McLaren F1 and its central driver’s seat, the carbon fiber-bodied machine comes from the same company that converted an F1 GTR for street use. This latest project is an entirely new car, built around a McLaren-supplied chassis. It joins the exclusive three-seater supercar club alongside McLaren’s own Speedtail and the GMA T.50. Wondering about the name? “95-59” pays homage to the Lanzante-run #59 McLaren F1 GTR that won Le Mans in 1995. Even the planned production run of 59 cars nods to that endurance racing triumph. With that out of the way, let’s dive into the technical specifications. At the heart of Lanzante’s new supercar is a McLaren-derived, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 producing over 850 horsepower and 649 pound-feet (880 Newton-meters) of torque. Purists will be glad to hear the muscle comes without any hybrid assistance. Power goes ex...
