iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 list of compatible devices

Apple made a big software announcement during its WWDC 2026 keynote. A highlight of that event is the new Siri AI, which is coming to devices via iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and more. The Siri AI is the biggest upgrade to Apple’s personal assistant. It’s now available for beta testing across iPhone, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS users, and will soon be available for watchOS 27 users. A final, market-ready version for everyone by the end of the year. Siri AI can now answer questions based on what’s on your screen, let you ask questions in a natural tone and get in-depth answers by swiping down from the Dynamic Island or into Spotlight on iPad and Mac, revisit conversations, easily write and edit documents — pretty much many of the AI features we’ve already seen on other devices. Spatial Reframing is also a cool feature that turns your flat photos into 3D so you can improve the composition. Sadly, not all iOS 27 devices will get Siri AI and will only b...

macOS Golden Gate 27 unveiled with Gemini-powered Siri, Apple Intelligence everywhere

This is the most interesting macOS release Apple has shipped in years, and the interesting part is not just what changed. The company is renaming the operating system, finally putting real Apple Intelligence features in front of users, and clearing out the rough edges left behind by macOS Tahoe. The first thing worth noting is the name. macOS Golden Gate 27 is the first macOS to step away from the rotating California place names Apple has used since OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The company is moving to a recurring code name model instead, which makes Golden Gate a more durable label than its predecessors. It is a small branding detail, but it shows that Apple wants its OS names to carry more weight over time, the way iOS and watchOS already do. The bigger story is Apple Intelligence finally arriving in a form users can actually use. The new Siri AI runs on Google’s Gemini models, lives inside Spotlight, has a dedicated app, supports a customizable voice, and can act on the user’s ...

JG Superstore , known for selling on Lazada and Shopee, has opened its very first physical store at SM City North EDSA . The new shop is on the third floor of the mall’s Annex building.

5G expected to surpass 4G usage in Philippines by 2030 — report

A new forecast suggests that the Philippines is about five years away from a major shift in mobile technology. By 2030, more people in the country are expected to be using 5G than 4G. The prediction comes from a research group called GlobalData. They also looked at how much money mobile service providers will make. Their estimate shows that annual revenue from mobile services should go from about $4 billion in 2025 to over $5 billion by 2030. That is a yearly average growth of just under 5%. Why the increase? People are using their phones for more than just calls. In fact, money from traditional voice calls is expected to keep falling. The study says voice revenue will drop by nearly 10% each year between now and 2030. Meanwhile, money from mobile data, like video streaming and gaming, will grow at a rate of 6% per year. The average person used about 8.9GB in 2025. By 2030, that number is expected to jump to 15.3G . The reason is simple: people love watching high-qualit...

Infinix GT50 Pro: Pro-level gaming experience without breaking the bank

You have seen those esports players on stage. They move fast. Their phones never lag. Even after hours of practice, the device stays cool and responsive. That is exactly what the Infinix GT 50 Pro promises to bring to regular users. I got to try the phone for a few days. Not on a stage, but in real life – long gaming sessions, video calls, social media scrolling, and even some quick photo tests. So before our full review, here’s my initial impressions on the Infinix GT 50 Pro . Built for long gaming sessions, no overheating The biggest fear for any mobile gamer is the phone heating up. Once it gets hot, the game usually starts dropping frames and the movements become choppy. The GT 50 Pro tries to solve that with something called HydroFlow Liquid Cooling. Inside the phone, there is a tiny liquid cooling system. You can actually see part of it through a small window on the back. A green liquid moves around to pull heat away from the processor. Does it work? Yes, but le...

New e-readers will be equipped with on-device AI features

A device category that has barely changed in a decade is finally getting a serious upgrade. During Computex 2026, E Ink and MediaTek announced a collaboration that could push e-readers to the next level with the help of artificial intelligence. MediaTek’s new MT8115 and MT8126 processors, both custom-built for ePaper hardware, include dedicated neural processing units. On-device AI means future e-readers may handle translation, transcription, and summarization without needing the cloud, while preserving the weeks-long battery life that makes e-readers appealing in the first place. The use cases are compelling. A student could pull up a dense academic chapter and walk away with a clean synopsis in seconds. A journalist at a press conference could let the device capture and organize quotes automatically. A lawyer reviewing a brief could ask the e-reader to surface key passages on demand. None of this is science fiction — it’s simply what a capable on-device AI model can deliver...
