The new Echo lineup consists of the Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11, all equipped with more powerful hardware, extra sensors, and Alexa+ integration right out of the box.

Custom AZ3 and AZ3 Pro Chips

The Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11 use the faster AZ3 Pro chip, enabling advanced language models and vision transformers for smarter, quicker responses.

All four models also feature Omnisense, a sensor system that combines a 13MP camera, radar, audio, accelerometers, and Wi-Fi signals to detect activities at home. This allows Alexa to act proactively, such as sending reminders when someone enters a room or alerting you if the garage door remains open after 10 p.m.

Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio

The Echo Dot Max introduces a redesigned audio setup with two speakers. One is a high-excursion woofer and the second is a custom tweeter, delivering almost three times the bass of the Echo Dot (5th gen).

Meanwhile, the Echo Studio is now 40% smaller than the original and comes with a high-excursion woofer and three full-range drivers. It supports spatial audio and Dolby Atmos for an immersive sound experience. Users can also pair up to five Echo Dot Max or Echo Studio units with Fire TV devices to create an Alexa-powered home theatre system.

Adobe Launches Free Premiere App for iPhone With AI Tools and 4K Editing Support

0

Highlights

  • Adobe has launched a free Premiere app for iPhone, offering 4K HDR editing, multi-track timelines, and mobile-optimised UI for creators on the go.
  • The app includes AI-powered features like auto captions, Enhance Speech, Generative Sound Effects, and Firefly tools.
  • It comes with Adobe Cloud sync (mobile to desktop) and built-in access to stock media.

Adobe has officially launched its Premiere app for iPhone. It gives mobile creators access to professional-grade video editing tools without needing a desktop setup. The app is free to download on iOS, though advanced AI-powered features require additional generative credits. An Android version is currently in development. Here’s everything about the new app.

Adobe Premiere App Launched

Designed specifically for mobile users, Premiere for iPhone offers a multi-track timeline that allows creators to layer video, audio, text, and music seamlessly. It supports 4K HDR editing, frame-accurate trimming, and advanced adjustments such as colour grading and shadow control. The app also includes auto-generated captions, a valuable feature for social media content creators.

The interface is optimised for smartphones with a portrait-first design. The viewer is placed at the top of the screen, while the timeline sits at the bottom, both of which can be resized based on user preference. While different from the desktop layout, the mobile interface is intuitive and well-suited to smaller screens.

Pitching it as a powerful mobile version of the full app, Adobe says, “The trusted video editor of YouTubers, filmmakers, music video editors and beyond, is now reimagined for mobile, delivering pro-level creative control, without the pro-level complexity. The new mobile app brings precision editing on a lightning-fast multi-track timeline, studio-quality audio with crystal clear voiceovers, perfectly timed AI sound effects, the ability to generate one-of-a-kind content with Adobe’s commercially safe Firefly models and more.

“It accelerates content creation, whether you’re producing for social, working on short films, music videos, client work or personal projects. Creators can film and edit day-in-the-life vlogs, streamers can clip and share their best live moments, and podcasters can clean up dialogue and add studio-quality sound effects to publish episode highlights to social anytime, anywhere,” the company further adds.

Pushing the app primarily for social media videos, Adobe says, “Edit at the speed of inspiration with fast, responsive performance built natively for iOS, simple media management, and a distraction-free, watermark-free experience. Designed for the way you work, start projects on your phone and export with one tap to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram and more with automatic resizing to keep your content perfectly framed, or send projects to Premiere Pro for precision editing on your desktop.”

Adobe Premiere App AI Features

The app also integrates Adobe’s Firefly AI models, enabling users to generate stickers, images, and even create transitions. A unique Generative Sound Effects feature allows you to add background audio from a text prompt or even by humming a tune.

Other AI-powered tools include Enhance Speech, which removes background noise for clearer dialogue, and an AI Image Expander, which fills frames intelligently without losing quality. While the app itself is free, these AI tools rely on generative credits that can be purchased within the app.

Adobe explains, “Turn your voice into a mobile recording studio with AI-powered tools like Generative Sound Effects, now generally available in Premiere mobile and Adobe Firefly, along with Enhance speech, making it easy to create crisp, clear audio from anywhere you are.”

Cloud Sync and Creative Resources

image

One of the biggest advantages of Premiere for iPhone is its connection to Adobe Cloud. Users can begin editing a project on their iPhone and later continue the same project on Premiere Pro for desktop.

However, for now, the sync only works from mobile to desktop, not the other way around.

In addition, Adobe has integrated its stock library of free photos, videos, and sound effects directly into the app, giving creators easy access to resources without relying on third-party tools.

With this launch, Adobe is positioning Premiere for iPhone as a direct competitor to popular mobile editing apps like CapCut, InVideo, and Meta’s Edits. It basically offers creators a more professional, cloud-connected editing solution on the go.

FAQs

Q1. What features does Adobe Premiere for iPhone offer for mobile creators?

Answer. The app includes a multi-track timeline, 4K HDR editing, frame-accurate trimming, colour grading, auto captions, and a portrait-optimised interface tailored for smartphones.

Q2. Are AI tools available in the free version of Adobe Premiere for iPhone?

Answer. Yes, but advanced AI features like Enhance Speech, Generative Sound Effects, and Firefly-powered image tools require generative credits, which can be purchased in-app.

Q3. Can projects be synced between the mobile and desktop versions of Adobe Premiere?

Answer. Yes, users can start editing on iPhone and continue on Premiere Pro for desktop via Adobe Cloud. However, sync currently works only from mobile to desktop and not the other way around.

Apple Adds iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 3 to Its Vintage Products List

0

Highlights

  • Apple has added the iPhone 11 Pro Max and all variants of the Apple Watch Series 3 to its vintage products list.
  • Vintage status allows limited hardware service and parts availability.
  • The iPhone 11 Pro Max still supports iOS 26, while the Series 3’s long shelf life ended in 2022.

Apple has officially moved the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the entire Apple Watch Series 3 lineup to its vintage products list. This was first noticed and reported by MacRumors in one of its recent reports. Interestingly, only the 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max has been added and the smaller the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro is not included in the update. Here’s more on that.

Apple’s Updates Vintage Product List

Apple classifies products as vintage five years after they are discontinued. While this label doesn’t immediately affect users, Apple may still provide hardware service and replacement parts where available. However, once a device reaches 10 years after discontinuation, it transitions to the obsolete category. This means Apple will stop offering any official support.

Despite being categorised as vintage, the iPhone 11 Pro Max remains compatible with the latest iOS 26 software, ensuring it still functions smoothly for users.

The Apple Watch Series 3 also joins the vintage list today, a little over eight years after its launch in September 2017. The smartwatch had an unusually long lifespan in Apple’s lineup, remaining on sale until September 2022 as a budget-friendly option. Remarkably, it was still available while watchOS 9 was in beta testing, even though that software update was not supported on the device.

Its longevity is further highlighted by the fact that the Apple Watch Series 4 was moved to the vintage category before the Series 3, despite launching a year later.

Here’s the complete list of products Apple has just labelled as vintage –

  • iPhone 11 Pro Max
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminium (38mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminium (42mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Edition (Ceramic, 38mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Edition (Ceramic, 42mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Hermès (38mm
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Hermès (42mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Nike (38mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Nike (42mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Stainless Steel (38mm)
  • Apple Watch Series 3 Stainless Steel (42mm)

FAQs

Q1. What does it mean when Apple labels a product as “vintage”?

Answer. Apple classifies a product as vintage five years after it’s discontinued. While limited hardware service and parts may still be available, support becomes more restricted. After 10 years, the product is considered obsolete and no longer receives official service.

Q2. Which devices were recently added to Apple’s vintage list?

Answer. Apple has added the iPhone 11 Pro Max and all variants of the Apple Watch Series 3, including Aluminium, Ceramic Edition, Hermès, Nike, and Stainless Steel models in both 38mm and 42mm sizes.

Q3. Can vintage Apple devices still run the latest software?

Answer. Yes, the iPhone 11 Pro Max remains compatible with iOS 26. However, the Apple Watch Series 3 was not supported by watchOS 9, despite being sold during its beta phase.

Leaked Video Shows First Look at iPad Pro with M5 Chip Ahead of Official Launch

0

Highlights

  • Leaked unboxing video reveals Apple’s upcoming 13-inch iPad Pro with the M5 chip.
  • It showcases a Space Black finish, 256GB storage and a nearly identical design to the M4 version, minus the “iPad Pro” engraving on the back.
  • Apple is expected to officially launch the M5 iPad Pro in October.

A leaked unboxing video has given the first full look at Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro powered by the new M5 chip. The video was uploaded on YouTube by the Russian channel Wylsacom and it showcases the unannounced device in detail.

About the authenticity of this source, this isn’t the first time the channel has revealed Apple products early. Wylsacom previously leaked the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip before its official launch. Adding more credibility to the leak, Bloomberg’s reliable Apple reporter Mark Gurman also shared the video link on X (formerly Twitter).

M5 iPad Pro Leaked Unboxing

The unboxing video suggests that the model in question is a 13-inch iPad Pro featuring the M5 chip, 256GB of storage, and a sleek Space Black finish. From the outside, the design looks almost identical to the M4 iPad Pro with familiar elements such as a single rear camera, four-speaker setup, and Smart Connector still present. Apple also seems to have maintained the device’s ultra-thin 5.1mm profile.

One small design change is noticeable, which shows the word “iPad Pro” is no longer engraved on the back of the tablet.

Performance upgrades appear to be the highlight of this generation. Geekbench 6 benchmarks displayed in the video show that the M5 chip delivers up to 12% better multi-core CPU performance compared to the M4 chip. Like its predecessor, it comes with a 9-core CPU configuration, three performance cores and six efficiency cores. The GPU has seen a bigger leap, offering up to 36% faster graphics performance than the M4, based on the Metal score.

Another important upgrade is in memory. The benchmark reveals that the 256GB iPad Pro variant now includes 12GB of RAM, matching the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. In comparison, the M4 iPad Pro with 256GB storage was limited to just 8GB of RAM.

The device in the video is shown running iPadOS 26, and the Settings app indicates its battery was manufactured in August 2025.

Beyond the M5 chip, rumours have suggested that the next iPad Pro could feature a second front-facing camera to improve video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations. However, the leaked unit does not clearly display this addition.

Apple is widely expected to officially unveil the iPad Pro with the M5 chip in October.

You can check the full unboxing video below –

FAQs

Q1. What does the leaked video reveal about the design of the iPad Pro with M5 chip?

Answer. The 13-inch iPad Pro shown in the video retains the ultra-thin 5.1mm profile and familiar design elements like a single rear camera, four-speaker setup, and Smart Connector. A subtle change is the removal of the “iPad Pro” engraving from the back.

Q2. How does the M5 chip improve performance compared to the M4?

Answer. According to Geekbench 6 benchmarks in the video, the M5 chip offers up to 12% better multi-core CPU performance and up to 36% faster GPU performance over the M4. It maintains a 9-core CPU setup with 3 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores.

Q3. What memory upgrade does the new M5 iPad Pro offer?

Answer. The 256GB variant of the M5 iPad Pro now includes 12GB of RAM, a jump from the 8GB found in the M4 model with the same storage.

OpenAI Brings Instant Checkout to ChatGPT with Stripe-Powered Agentic Commerce Protocol

0

Highlights

  • OpenAI introduces Stripe-powered Instant Checkout via ChatGPT, enabling users to buy products directly during chat-based discovery.
  • It is available to U.S. ChatGPT users across Free, Plus, and Pro tiers, starting with Etsy sellers.
  • Shopify merchants will join soon with global expansion planned.

OpenAI has rolled out Instant Checkout inside ChatGPT, marking its first major step into AI-powered shopping. The feature is powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol and integrated with Stripe, making it possible for users to purchase products directly within the chat interface.

According to OpenAI, more than 700 million people use ChatGPT weekly for tasks such as product discovery, and Instant Checkout aims to streamline the process from browsing to buying. Announcing the feature, OpenAI wrote, “ChatGPT already helps millions of people find what to buy. Now it can help them buy it too. We’re introducing Instant Checkout in ChatGPT with @Etsy and @Shopify, and open-sourcing the Agentic Commerce Protocol that powers it, built with @Stripe, so more merchants and developers can integrate agentic checkout.”

Agentic Commerce Protocol Explained

The Agentic Commerce Protocol has been open-sourced by OpenAI, giving merchants and developers the tools to build integrations. Co-developed with Stripe and leading retail partners, the protocol is secure, platform-agnostic, and simple to deploy. It represents a new era of agentic commerce, where ChatGPT not only helps users discover products but also facilitates the final purchase.

With this system, users can move from conversation to checkout in just a few taps, while merchants maintain complete control over payments, fulfilment, and customer relationships.

How Instant Checkout Works?

When users ask for recommendations such as “best running shoes under $100” or “gifts for a ceramics enthusiast,” ChatGPT surfaces relevant results from across the web. These listings are organic, unsponsored, and ranked only by relevance.

If an item is available for Instant Checkout, users can tap “Buy,” confirm order details, shipping, and payment information, and complete the transaction without leaving the chat.

Subscribers can pay using saved cards or other supported payment methods.

Merchants continue to process orders, payments, and fulfilment using their existing systems. ChatGPT acts only as a secure intermediary, sharing the minimal data required. Merchants are charged a small fee for successful transactions, while users pay no extra cost. Importantly, product ranking remains unaffected by payments.

What makes this secure –

  • Users must explicitly confirm each purchase.
  • Payments are encrypted and authorised for specific amounts and merchants.
  • Only essential data is shared to finalise the order.

Merchant Integration

For businesses, enabling Instant Checkout is straightforward. Merchants already using Stripe can turn on agentic payments with just one line of code. Those relying on other processors can still participate via Stripe’s Shared Payment Token API or the Delegated Payments Spec in the Agentic Commerce Protocol, without altering their current systems.

Availability

Instant Checkout is currently rolling out to U.S. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Free users, starting with direct purchases from U.S. Etsy sellers. Soon, more than one million Shopify merchants, including major names like Glossier, SKIMS, Spanx, and Vuori, will also be onboarded.

At launch, the feature supports single-item purchases with multi-item carts and support for more regions coming in future updates. Merchants who wish to make their products available through ChatGPT can apply directly via the official site.

FAQs

Q1. What is Instant Checkout in ChatGPT?

Answer. Instant Checkout lets users buy products directly within ChatGPT, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol and integrated with Stripe for secure payments.

Q2. How does the Agentic Commerce Protocol benefit merchants?

Answer. It’s an open-source, platform-agnostic system that allows merchants to integrate checkout with minimal effort, while retaining full control over payments and fulfilment.

Q3. Who can use ChatGPT Instant Checkout and where is it available?

Answer. It’s currently rolling out to U.S. ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro users, starting with Etsy sellers, with Shopify merchants joining soon and global expansion planned.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro Spotted on IMEI Database, Tipped for Early 2026 Launch

0

Highlights

  • Nothing Phone 4a Pro with model number A069P spotted on the IMEI database.
  • It suggests Nothing Phone 4a Pro is in development, likely launching in Q1 2026 alongside the 4a.
  • The Pro variant may offer enhanced cameras, a premium build, and features like eSIM and periscope zoom.

It appears the London-based brand, Nothing, may already be working on its next set of midrange smartphones. Fresh evidence suggests that the arrival of the Nothing Phone 4a lineup is probably closer. Here’s all we know about it so far.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro Spotted on IMEI

According to an exclusive report by Smartprix, a Nothing device carrying the model number A069P has appeared on the IMEI database.

For context, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro was listed under model number A059P, strongly suggesting that this new listing could belong to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. While this leak doesn’t confirm the identity of the device, it gives the first hint of the company’s upcoming midrange series.

Smartprix further predicts that the standard Nothing Phone 4a could carry the model number A069, keeping in line with the naming pattern. If Nothing sticks to its release cycle, both the 4a and 4a Pro may launch sometime in the first quarter of 2026.

Nothing Phone 4a Lineup – What to Expect?

At present, there are no details on the hardware specifications of the Phone 4a Pro. However, if Nothing continues its previous strategy, the Pro version is likely to feature camera enhancements and premium materials. We can expect something similar to how the Phone 3a Pro stood out with better optics and an upgraded build compared to the regular 3a.

Looking back at the Nothing Phone 3a series gives an idea of what to expect. The Nothing Phone 3a came with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50 MP main + 50 MP 2× telephoto camera setup, a 5000 mAh battery with 50W charging, and Nothing’s signature Glyph Interface. Meanwhile, the Phone 3a Pro targeted photography enthusiasts with a 50 MP Periscope Telephoto lens (3× optical zoom), a 50 MP front camera, and eSIM support.

One key issue with the 3a series was its availability in the US, where it was sold under a “Beta Program.” This program offered limited warranty, returns, and support, which turned away many potential buyers. By contrast, the Nothing Phone 3 and Nothing Phone 2 were sold through standard channels with full support.

Consumers in the US will be hoping Nothing changes its approach for the Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro, making them more widely available with regular sales and warranty coverage. If Nothing repeats its launch timeline, we can expect the midrange duo to debut around March 2026.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Nothing Phone 4a Pro and how was it spotted?

Answer. The Nothing Phone 4a Pro was identified via an IMEI database listing under model number A069P, hinting at its development and likely launch in early 2026.

Q2. When is the Nothing Phone 4a series expected to launch?

Answer. If Nothing follows its usual release cycle, both the Phone 4a and 4a Pro are expected to debut globally around March 2026, following the pattern of the 3a series.

Q3. What upgrades might the Nothing Phone 4a Pro offer?

Answer. Based on past trends, the Pro variant may include camera enhancements, premium materials, and features like eSIM support and periscope zoom, similar to the 3a Pro.

Swollen Galaxy Ring Battery Raises Safety Fears, Tech Influencer Hospitalised After Ring Stuck on Finger

A frightening incident involving the Samsung Galaxy Ring has surfaced online. YouTuber and tech influencer Daniel Rotar shared his experience of the smart ring’s battery swelling, which left him hospitalised. Here’s our report.

Samsung Galaxy Ring Gets Stuck on Finger

Rotar @ZONEofTECH posted about the ordeal on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the battery began swelling just before he was about to board a flight. The swelling caused the ring to get stuck on his finger, resulting in severe discomfort. Sharing pictures of the bloated Galaxy Ring, he wrote, “I cannot take it off, and this thing hurts.”

Due to the emergency, Rotar was denied boarding and sent to the hospital, where the ring was eventually removed with the help of ice and “medical lubricant.” He mentioned that attempting to use water and soap only made the situation worse as the swelling grew more severe. Once removed, the inside of the ring appeared distorted and even started separating from the case, a detail that raised further safety concerns.

Summing up his experience, Rotar remarked, “Won’t be wearing a smart ring ever again.”

Possible Causes Behind the Battery Swelling

In replies to users on X, Rotar speculated that Hawaii’s hot climate, exposure to saltwater, multiple flights, or a faulty battery could have triggered the expansion. He also noted that his Galaxy Ring had started showing battery drain issues just before the incident, suggesting the malfunctioning battery was likely the cause.

Interestingly, this is not the first reported case. Another user had earlier shared a similar Galaxy Ring swelling issue on social media, where the device was less than a month old. That case also showed the same pressure build-up pattern inside the ring, different from the “pillow” style expansion seen in most smartphone batteries.

Rotar mentioned that he had been using his Galaxy Ring since January 2025, making this failure particularly alarming for a relatively new device.

Samsung Responds

When contacted by 9to5Google, Samsung reportedly said, “The safety of our customers is a top priority and we are in direct contact with this user to learn more about their concerns. While experiences like this are extremely rare, there are a few ways to attempt removing a stuck ring, including soap and water – or submerging your hand in cold water. If these methods do not work, additional information is provided on our Samsung Support page.”

The company has already reached out to Rotar directly through social media.

Why is it concerning?

While all electronic devices with batteries carry some risk of swelling, the fact that the Galaxy Ring is worn tightly around the finger makes such incidents particularly dangerous. As Rotar’s experience shows, a malfunction in this wearable could quickly escalate into a medical emergency.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring was first launched in October 2024 in India as a smart health monitoring accessory. It gained early popularity, but incidents like this raise questions about long-term safety and reliability in daily use.

FAQs

Q1. What happened with the Galaxy Ring that caused a safety scare?

Answer. Tech influencer Daniel Rotar experienced a swollen Galaxy Ring battery that got stuck on his finger, causing pain and requiring hospital removal with medical aid.

Q2. What might have caused the Galaxy Ring battery to swell?

Answer. Rotar speculated that heat, saltwater exposure, multiple flights, or a faulty battery could have triggered the swelling. He also noticed battery drain before the incident.

Q3. How did Samsung respond to the Galaxy Ring incident?

Answer. Samsung stated that customer safety is a top priority and confirmed they are in direct contact with Rotar. They also shared ring removal tips via their support page.
