Apple iPhone 18 Pro Leak Points to Smaller Dynamic Island, Deep Red Finish

Cupertino, California, April 13, 2026, 04:09 PDT Apple hasn’t nailed down if the iPhone 18 Pro will shrink its Dynamic Island, according to recent chatter. Another leak, meanwhile, hints at a deep red colorway for the top-tier model due later this year. The upshot: tweaks to both the front design and color seem to be in the works, but there’s no sign of a total design overhaul yet.

Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra leaks reveal wood finish, new colors as launch nears

Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra leaks reveal wood finish, new colors as launch nears

Motorola appears nearly ready to debut its next Razr flip phones, after a fresh round of leaks over the past day spotlighted new finish options — wood, Alcantara that resembles suede, plus fresh Pantone-inspired colors — coming to the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra. From the leaked images, not much seems changed under the hood; Motorola seems to be betting on materials and finish to push its clamshell foldables apart from the pack. This is significant: Motorola’s no longer on the sidelines when it comes to foldables in North America. According to recent Counterpoint data, the company captured roughly 44% of the region’s foldable market for 2025. Samsung held a bit more than half, just above 50%. Shipments for

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Goes Live Early Ahead of April 10 U.S. Restock

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Goes Live Early Ahead of April 10 U.S. Restock

For a short window—roughly 15 minutes—on Thursday, April 9, Samsung Electronics’ U.S. site allowed buyers to check out with the $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold, ahead of the official restock planned for the U.S. The listing vanished soon after. In an email alert picked up by 9to5Google, Samsung warned that “supplies are still limited.” Forbes also noted reports suggesting the inventory was released earlier than scheduled. The timing is key: Samsung began pulling the device last month after only about three months on shelves, so this week’s sale stands as one of the final opportunities to snag the phone direct from Samsung. The official purchase page has already listed the model as out of stock.

Google Chrome Finally Rolls Out Vertical Tabs in Stable Release, Adds Full-Page Reading Mode

Google Chrome Finally Rolls Out Vertical Tabs in Stable Release, Adds Full-Page Reading Mode

Google on Tuesday started bringing native vertical tabs to desktop Chrome’s stable build—the regular public release—along with a new full-page reading mode. The Chrome team’s announcement coincided with Chrome 147 moving up to stable for Windows, Mac, and Linux. That rollout will stretch out over the next several days and weeks. Why does this tweak matter? Chrome’s dominance isn’t subtle. In March, the browser claimed 69.37% of global desktop market share, according to StatCounter—miles ahead of Microsoft Edge, which managed 12.75%. So, when Chrome moves, even small shifts ripple across a massive user base.

Nvidia N1 Laptop Chip Leak Reveals 128GB Board, Setting Up a New Windows PC Fight

Nvidia N1 Laptop Chip Leak Reveals 128GB Board, Setting Up a New Windows PC Fight

Photos claiming to show an Nvidia N1 laptop motherboard popped up Thursday, giving a rare look at a chip that might mark Nvidia’s shift from just graphics in notebooks to supplying the main processor. Tom’s Hardware reported the board showed up on China’s Goofish resale platform; both Gizmodo and Wccftech also picked up on the same listing. This isn’t just about a single leak. If the hardware is authentic, Nvidia’s making a real move toward Windows-on-Arm laptops, right as it ramps up its CPU ambitions. Back in January 2025, Reuters reported Nvidia and MediaTek were developing PC chips to go after Intel, AMD and Qualcomm. CEO Jensen Huang added in February, “We love CPUs as well as GPUs.”

Ex-Apple Engineers Bet a $179 iPod Shuffle-Like AI Button Can Succeed Where Humane Failed

Ex-Apple Engineers Bet a $179 iPod Shuffle-Like AI Button Can Succeed Where Humane Failed

Chris Nolet and Ryan Burgoyne, both previously with Apple Vision Pro, are rolling out Button, a $179 AI gadget that clips on and only activates when pressed. It’s designed for fast responses to voice prompts. Backed by Y Combinator, the device—its look draws strong iPod Shuffle comparisons—is targeting its initial U.S. shipments for Dec. 15, 2026. The scramble for a breakout AI hardware product continues. Humane shuttered its AI Pin business and offloaded assets to HP for $116 million in 2025, reacting to lackluster feedback and sluggish demand. OpenAI and Rabbit remain in the hunt, rolling out fresh AI-first devices, both still chasing a form factor that actually lands with users.

Dyson HushJet Mini Cool launches at $99 as portable fan race heats up

Dyson on Thursday rolled out its first-ever handheld fan, the $99 HushJet Mini Cool, a device that borrows the company's bladeless cooling tech and shrinks it down to a portable, 212-gram package. Meant to be worn, carried, or just parked on a desk, the fan sends air moving at speeds up to 25 meters per second—roughly 55 mph, according to the company. Dyson’s latest push into personal cooling comes in at a lower price point for U.S. buyers compared to its bigger fans. Over on Dyson’s U.S. website, the Cool Tower Fan AM07 carries a $399.99 tag, while the Purifier Cool PC1 runs $449.99. The new handheld fan slots in well under both, setting it apart from much of Dyson’s

Apple iPhone 18 Pro Leak Puts Smaller Dynamic Island Back in Play, Says Air 2 Is Still Coming

CUPERTINO, California, April 9, 2026, 10:13 PDT Fresh leaks are pointing to some indecision inside Apple over a major iPhone 18 Pro design feature, with sources saying the company hasn’t finalized what could be one of its most noticeable changes.

The speculation comes from Weibo leakers Digital Chat Station and Fixed Focus Digital, reports picked up by 9to5Mac and MacRumors.

Samsung Expands One UI 8.5 Beta to More Galaxy Phones as Galaxy S24 Gets Second Build

Samsung Electronics expanded its One UI 8.5 beta program—the Android 16-based interface—on April 9, bringing the update to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold5, Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy S23 FE, and Galaxy A36 5G. That same day, Samsung rolled out a second One UI 8.5 beta build to Galaxy S24 devices in India and South Korea. This shift is significant right now: Samsung is doubling down on software, trying to lock in longtime Galaxy users as AI tools start driving upgrade decisions—or convincing them not to jump ship. The company said a broader rollout of the One UI 8.5 beta is coming later in April, signaling a push to get the update onto more models fast.
