Apple might be working on a more affordable Vision Pro headset for a 2025 release

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning on delivering a more affordable version of the Vision Pro headset and it will likely arrive sometime in 2025. That's because the $3,499 price tag is obviously too restrictive and the Vision Pro as a product isn't intended for mass adoption. The report from Gurman claims the company was initially thinking of delaying the announcement of the Vision Pro's price due to negative publicity, but preferred to give everyone 9 months time to get used to it. The future headset, on the other hand, likely called just Vision or Vision One,...

Apple held off its WWDC this week and detailed the next versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and also announced the M2 Ultra chipset, a 15-inch MacBook Air, and its long-awaited Vision Pro VR/AR headset.

Wear OS 4 may finally allow you to switch phones without factory resetting your watch

Google recently released its Wear OS 4 Beta software and Samsung was quick to integrate its One UI 5 Watch beta for its Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 series, so people can get familiar with the changes before the final version of the software hits the masses. One of the most interesting new changes to Wear OS may be the ability to change phones without having to reset your watch. The current Wear OS 3.5 version and Samsung's corresponding One UI Watch 4.5 version force you to factory reset your smartwatch every time you change your phone, which is quite annoying. Although the software...

Google Meet app for Android to get a new "safety feature" when walking

Mark Zuckerberg shares his thoughts on the Apple's Vision Pro

Meta is Apple's chief competitor in the VR market, and it launched its premier offering, the Quest 3 just a few days before Apple dropped the Vision Pro.

Android 14 Beta 3 packs new stylus-specific features

Android 14's third beta is out now and some of its features attract the attention of code tinkerers. The most interesting is a set of stylus-specific settings that might hint at Google's plans for a stylus for the Pixel Tablet (or dare we hope - the Pixel Fold). Code inside the Beta 3 reveals that the software will be able to recognize and set different functions to the different buttons on a stylus. There's a code line for the primary button (the one closest to the tip), for the secondary, a tertiary, and the tail button (the one near or at the top). You'll also be able to set the...
