Intel Panther Lake vs Apple M5: Early benchmarks show Intel ahead in multi-core — but not in everything

Intel’s latest Panther Lake laptop processors have outperformed Apple’s M5 in multi-core benchmarks during initial tests, marking a rare win for the PC chip giant against the silicon that dominates high-end laptops. This is crucial for Intel now, as it tries to improve thin-and-light laptops, where users want long battery life and speedy performance without a heavy cooling setup. A quicker chip also lets manufacturers rely more on integrated graphics, cutting the need for a separate GPU.

Nothing Phone 4a spotted in UAE TDRA certification — here’s what it could mean for launch plans

Nothing’s rumored Phone 4a has just passed a certification hurdle in the United Arab Emirates, hinting that the mid-range phone is nearing its debut.

iPhone Air price cut in China sparks buyer anger as Apple leans on Lunar New Year discounts

BEIJING, January 27, 2026, 17:34 Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone Air has seen price cuts up to 2,500 yuan in China. The official Apple Store on Alibaba’s Tmall slashed 2,000 yuan, with regional subsidies pushing the starting price down from 7,999 yuan to 5,499 yuan, 36Kr reported. Released on Oct. 22, 2025, the phone sacrifices battery size and opts for an eSIM-only design, ditching the traditional plastic SIM card. Industry analyst Zhang Shule called this move "inventory clearance" aimed at "recovering funds," while Omdia’s Zhong Xiaolei noted that "most people can’t accept" shelling out flagship prices solely for a thin-and-light design.

Clawdbot goes viral — but security warnings trail the AI assistant behind the Mac mini rush

Cybersecurity company SOCRadar revealed that over 1,000 Clawdbot instances—an open-source AI assistant gaining traction—are exposed online. Their Shodan searches, which scan internet-connected devices, uncovered 1,009 Clawdbot gateways accessible directly from the public internet. The warning comes as Clawdbot escapes the developer niche and starts gaining wider attention, with explainer articles and demos popping up all over in the last 24 hours. Early users aren’t just seeing it as a chatbot—they’re calling it an “agent,” software that can actually perform tasks on a computer, not just respond to queries.

Google Pixel January 2026 update sparks Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth complaints as rollout widens

Google’s January 2026 update for Pixel devices is causing trouble for some users, according to reports tracked by 9to5Google. Several posts on Google forums and Reddit say affected phones can’t scan for Wi‑Fi networks or enable Bluetooth. A few users have also flagged issues with their cameras. The timing is crucial since the update is still rolling out. If the wireless radios go down, the phone basically becomes useless for many everyday functions—home internet, cars, earbuds, even smartwatches—and that often scares people away from installing patches right away.

The images highlight the volume slider and power menu shifting from solid light or dark backgrounds to translucent panels that let wallpaper colors peek through.

This leak is significant as it reveals Google’s direction for Android’s design following the Material 3 Expressive update, which emphasizes motion, layering, and personalization.

Sony LinkBuds Clip reviews land: comfort praised, but $230 price draws heat

Sony’s new LinkBuds Clip open-ear earbuds are drawing a familiar verdict from early testers: easy to wear for hours, solid on calls, and harder to justify at $230 once you start looking for premium features. That matters now because Sony is trying to sell a clip-on design that leaves the ear canal open — a style meant for people who want to hear traffic, gym cues or co-workers while listening, not shut the world out.

Doomscrolling in 2026? Minimalist Android apps and digital detox tips are back

Two guides published over the past two days are pitching a simpler phone as a practical answer to digital fatigue, with app picks and habit changes aimed at cutting “doomscrolling” — compulsively swiping through feeds, often bad news. The timing is not accidental. A Jan. 20 Guardian feature argued tech is increasingly used to “optimise” life, at the cost of real-world social contact, and warned that chatbots are becoming stand-ins for friends for some users. Psychologist Jim Taylor called the headphone-and-scroll routine “a netherworld,” while social psychologist Hugh Mackay said eye contact is a “super highway” to emotion.

Got a new Apple Watch? Change these 7 settings now — including health alerts that start off disabled

On Monday, a Tom’s Guide contributor shared a checklist of Apple Watch settings that users should adjust right away. The advice includes restricting which iPhone apps can send notifications to the wrist and enabling health and safety features that often remain off by default. Sanuj Bhatia also highlighted competitors like Samsung and Garmin but emphasized that Apple’s watch performs best when paired with an iPhone. The urgency comes from Apple’s health features relying on users opting in—and then being patient. According to Apple, its hypertension notifications monitor patterns tied to chronic high blood pressure over 30-day spans, using data gathered from the watch’s optical heart sensor. This feature targets people aged 22 and up who aren’t pregnant and haven’t been

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro might feature a slimmer “Dynamic Island”—that pill-shaped cutout housing the selfie camera and Face ID sensors—according to a new leak suggesting a narrower opening. Shares of Apple slipped about 0.2% in premarket trading. This buzz is significant since Apple has been treading carefully toward a sleeker, more immersive display while keeping Face ID intact. Reducing the size of the visible cutout would mark the first major front-design change in years—an upgrade Apple could tout as a step closer to a true all-screen iPhone.
