First, a apology. In the Tuesday newsletter, I laid out how to watch (and what to expect from) Alexa Press event to Amazon. But in addition to uniting what Alexa is capable of, no foolish hardware and no -upgrade echos, but . We learned that Alexa+ will be included in a subscription to Amazon Prime, and the company will also offer an enhanced digital assistant, for $ 20 per month. So far, Prime costs $ 15 per month in the US. So that's weird.
Meanwhile, Apple's new entry-level iPhone, The 16eLaunching online and in today's stores. The $ 599 phone can be arguably arguably $ 100 too expensiveBut it packs a processor that can convey Apple's intelligence to the masses. It has a gorgeous screen, with a notch – if not a dynamic -new island – and a long battery life. Thanks to the A18 chip, it's as strong as iPhones, which costs a few hundred dollars yet.
This is a phone for people who do not upgrade each year (or two). If you come from an older iPhone, say an iPhone 11 (like my mother), you will be treated with a brighter screen, improved image processing and, heck, 5G. Apple says the newer process will ensure that 16e is 80 percent faster than the iPhone 11. You will see the difference. Oh, and you're getting an action button.
Our biggest concern is the single-camera situation. This is a great camera, but that we have already missed the availability of optical zoom beyond the digital crap used by the iPhone 16e. Check our full review right here. And if you're ok not staying on an iPhone, we're moving to the mid-range smartphone season-so stay focused.

What to expect from Samsung, nothing, Xiaomi and more than MWC 2025
No new devices can be headline grabbers.
The world's largest smartphone event (after the launch of the iPhone, be true) back to Barcelona. While this is no longer the Mobile World Congress heyday, the challenges of the smartphone from China love to reveal the technologies achieved devices, and we look forward to the pleasures from the taste of Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei et al. Except maybe not Oppo – the thing is done.
At MWC 2022, no one showed Carl Pei a prototype of the company's first handset, the without phone 1. It looks ready Drip-Drip of specs, features and hyperboles to act. No one announced the design of a phone, the 3A Pro, in almost 11-minute video. Notably, a large OLE camera bump to accommodate a periscope telephoto lens.
Xiaomi is also teasing some heady camera hardware: its 15 ultra will be a photograph powerhouse, which has been heard to pack a 1-inch main sensor and 200-megapixel periskope telephoto lens.
Will Samsung show slimline ? Probably. It may also be time to show an update on A-Series mid-range devices. Perhaps the company will do the same.
Sony cuts PS VR2 prices up to $ 400
Also add the price of your PS5.
Sony permanently reduces the price of PlayStation VR2. Starting in March, the headset costs $ 400, down from $ 500. It still costs more than the Meta Quest 3s, a standalone headset, but clearly capable of with a more rich graphic experience. That said, Where are the AAA games? Even Sony's own PS VR2 website struggles to offer any particular -eagerness.
You never look for lost wireless earbuds
It's time to release.
That I —I misplaced my . Where I put it, I remembered the thought, “You will regret not returning them to the charge.” And I'm right. Two weeks in, I have a charging case, open and ready, but the trunks are translated to another size. I tried Find Apple my app, saying they were somewhere in my apartment.
That won't help me. I used them for exercise, so I checked the jacket pockets, gym shorts, bathrooms, windows, sides of my couch and even my inner ear canal. But no.
I finished hoping for two weeks, but it was time to release me. Fortunately, I work HereSo I have three standby options for listening to the gym. But they don't fit as well as Beats Fit Pro. I will hold the charge case, in the event that they will appear in my cleaning box or somewhere else that is completely unreasonable, but in the meantime, I know I will never find them again.
Goodbye, my waxy, sweat buds of joy.
