Sony Bravia TVs to Lose Key Guide and Menu Features in May, Even on Models Still for Sale

Sony will end several TV Guide and menu features on some 2023-2025 Bravia televisions in late May, cutting functions used by antenna viewers in the United States and by some viewers using external TV-provider boxes in Europe. Support notes show recent Bravia models will lose parts of the guide, channel logos and preview images, while some menus for external TV devices will also disappear. The move lands awkwardly for Sony because it reaches recent premium sets — the 2025 Bravia 8 II and Bravia 5, 2024’s Bravia 9, Bravia 8 and Bravia 7, and the 2023 A95L series — and trims one of the few interfaces that still ties broadcast, pay TV and apps together on a single screen.

Apple Foldable iPhone Still Eyed for September Launch, but Getting One May Be Hard

CUPERTINO, California, April 15, 2026, 07:10 PDT Apple’s foldable iPhone remains on track for a September release, but fresh supply chain chatter suggests early units could be in short supply. 9to5Mac flagged a Digitimes report on April 13 showing mass production is now pushed to August instead of July—tightening Apple’s timeline to build inventory before launch.

Leica’s New Chicago Flagship Store Brings a Rare Chicago Edition 17 M11-P to Michigan Avenue

Alongside the opening, Leica will debut a special Chicago Edition 17 of its Leica M11-P rangefinder—manual focus, digital, and available exclusively at the Michigan Avenue location. This shift comes as Michigan Avenue shops double down on exhibitions, classes, and other live attractions to bring shoppers through their doors. Leica, celebrating its 20th year in retail and half a century of Leica Galleries, plans to open the Chicago outpost—joining a global network of roughly 120 stores, according to the company.

Sony PS6 Lite Rumor Hits a Wall as New Leak Questions 2027 Three-Device Launch

Sony’s rumored plan to launch a trio of PlayStation 6 models in 2027 is facing skepticism. Hardware leaker KeplerL2 is throwing cold water on talk of a lower-cost living-room version, arguing it just wouldn’t work for developers. That challenges the recent reports laying out three separate devices as part of Sony’s next-gen console push. The pricing conversation has new urgency, with Sony’s flexibility more limited than in earlier cycles. On March 27, Reuters said Sony hiked PS5 prices worldwide for the second time in under a year. Sony Interactive Entertainment disclosed that PS5 sell-in topped 92.1 million units and monthly active users hit 132 million by Dec. 31, highlighting just how big the stakes are as hardware transitions loom.

Porsche on Tuesday took the wraps off the 911 GT3 S/C, marking the first time the GT3 series gets a convertible variant with a fully automatic soft top. The Sport Cabriolet is priced from $273,000, or $275,350 with delivery, and is set to arrive at U.S. Porsche Centers by fall 2026. Porsche could use the boost right now. Global deliveries dropped 15% in the first quarter, totaling 60,991 vehicles. Yet the 911 bucked the trend, climbing 22% to 13,889 units. Investors will get a closer look when the company posts its first-quarter financials on April 29.

Earlier, PC Guide, Notebookcheck, and VideoCardz flagged a supposed refresh based on 3GB GDDR7 memory chips, but BenchLife’s check throws cold water on those claims.

Trump Mobile T1 Phone Gets a New Look, but Buyers Still Have No Launch Date

Trump Mobile rolled out a new look for its gold T1 smartphone and relaunched its website, but the company remains silent on when buyers can expect the device. Fresh product photos reveal a switch from the previous triangular camera setup to vertical lenses on the back. The updated site still omits any time frame for release. The redesign is notable here—Trump’s wireless venture keeps making moves, despite months of blown timelines and changing details. Instead of promising it’s “designed and built in the United States” as the June 2025 launch materials did, the company now calls the phone “shaped by American innovation.”

Microsoft Patches BlueHammer Windows Zero-Day Flaw in Defender After Public Leak

Microsoft issued a fix for CVE-2026-33825 on Tuesday, a Microsoft Defender privilege-escalation bug that had been publicly disclosed and linked by security researchers to BlueHammer, the proof-of-concept exploit that surfaced online earlier this month. That patch landed as part of Microsoft’s April Patch Tuesday update, which also included a security fix for SharePoint—CVE-2026-32201. According to Microsoft, attackers had already started exploiting that SharePoint vulnerability. This one’s significant: BlueHammer allowed attackers with existing access to escalate to SYSTEM, the highest level on Windows machines. With public exploit code out before any patch was ready, the debate among researchers quickly took a back seat. Suddenly, every unpatched endpoint faced a real threat.

Google AI Overviews Accuracy Questioned Again as Study Points to Millions of Wrong Answers an Hour

Google’s AI Overviews are under the microscope again. On Tuesday, new coverage raised concerns about the accuracy of these machine-generated summaries, which appear above traditional search results. The New York Times, referenced in the latest reports, found that after the Gemini 3 update, the tool delivered the right answer to a standard factual test about 91% of the time. That still leaves a significant number of mistakes, given the scale at which the feature operates. Here's why this is in sharp focus: Google keeps accelerating AI’s role in Search. They set Gemini 3 as the new default for AI Overviews back in January, rolled out Search Live to more markets using AI Mode in March, and last July reported AI
