Tehnologija Vijesti: 6 studeni 2025 - 17 studeni 2025

November 18, 2025, 2:36 PM EST. China has evolved from a domestic champion to a global force in vehicle manufacturing, exports, and electric mobility. The shift is propelled by accelerated development cycles, battery dominance, and aggressive overseas investment-driving a global transformation under the banner of China Speed. With domestic overcapacity pushing firms to scale exports and build plants abroad, China produced about 30% of the world's vehicles in 2024 and became the largest vehicle exporter. Four of the world's top five battery companies are Chinese, and the country controls a majority of critical minerals. Policy moves aim to manage exports, quality, and market balance, while tensions with tariffs complicate growth. Domestic consolidation remains likely as smaller players exit and the search for overseas markets continues.

November 18, 2025, 2:34 PM EST. An AI startup, 2Wai, released a beta of its HoloAvatar tool that turns minutes of footage into conversational video avatars across 40 languages. FedBrain runs largely on-device to protect privacy and curb AI 'hallucinations,' but critics say the technology monetizes grief and pressures mourners. The app, pitched as a legacy-preservation tool, has reignited debate over consent, data ownership, and post-mortem privacy in the burgeoning grief-tech sector. A viral promo by co-founder Calum Worthy-featuring a late mother, bedtime stories, and digital twins-has intensified scrutiny of what some call digital ghosts. 2Wai has raised about $5 million in pre-seed, plans a paid tier after beta, and cites potential partnerships with BT and IBM, linking to broader AI-entertainment shifts post-SAG-AFTRA concerns.

November 18, 2025, 2:32 PM EST. Facing a choice between the new M5 MacBook Pro and the lighter M4 MacBook Air? This comparison breaks down the core tradeoffs: portability and battery life lean toward the M4 Air, which weighs about 1.24 kg and stays nimble for travel; the M5 MacBook Pro offers stronger performance for on-device AI, GPU tasks, and sustained workloads, at a higher starting price. Display quality also favors the M5, though larger screens are available in the M4 family. Price matters: the M4 Air starts near $1,000, with sales driving it lower, while the M5 Pro base starts around $1,599. For most users who don't need peak performance, the M4 Air is a sensible pick; if you need more horsepower and a premium display, choose the M5 MacBook Pro.

November 18, 2025, 2:30 PM EST. Apple has released iOS 26.2 beta 3 to developers ahead of a mid-December public release, alongside betas for iPadOS 26.2, macOS Tahoe 26.2, watchOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2 and visionOS 26.2. The update continues to refine Liquid Glass animations and brings the UI closer to a smoother experience, with Measures and other stock apps adopting the effect. A new Apple Store icon and UI appear in the update, though not required by iOS 26.2 beta. One major feature arriving in December is the expansion of Live Translation to European users to support real-time translation via AirPods, after regulatory delays related to the Digital Markets Act. Also teased is Known AirDrop Contacts with PIN-protected AirDrop connections.

November 18, 2025, 2:26 PM EST. Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, arrives with a slimmer chassis and slimmer bezels, but the changes aren't a game-changer. A key design shift is the removal of the glass back, which disables wireless charging for the S Pen since the stylus no longer relies on Bluetooth. The reviewer notes the display remains outstanding-nearly identical to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra-and questions whether the upgrade justifies moving up from the S9. If Samsung intends these tablets as a laptop replacement, the lineup still lacks true PC-like performance to rival Apple's top iPads. Verdict: a solid design and superb screen, but not the dramatic leap some buyers expected. Check out the full SamMobile review on YouTube for details.
