DJI Osmo Mobile 8P comes with a detachable screen that serves as a remote and viewfinder

DJI has released a new smartphone gimbal called the Osmo Mobile 8P . The big new feature is not the stabilizer itself, but a small detachable screen that lets you see what your phone camera sees from far away. The screen is part of a remote called the Osmo FrameTap . It comes with every Osmo Mobile 8P you buy. The remote is magnetic, weighs only about 29 grams, and works with Bluetooth up to 10 meters away. So why does this matter? Imagine you are recording a video of yourself. Normally, you have to walk back to your phone to check if you are in the frame. With this remote, you just look at the small screen in your hand. You can see the live view from your phone. You can also start and stop recording, zoom in and out, move the gimbal with a joystick, and change the brightness of the fill light. All without touching your phone. If you use an Android phone, the remote can also mirror your phone’s screen. That means you can use the better rear camera for selfies while sti...

Fitbit Air is a new fitness tracker with no screen

Fitbit has a new device for people who don’t want a smartwatch. It is called the Fitbit Air , and it is the smallest tracker the company has ever made. The main idea is to keep things simple. There is no screen, no beeping, and no notifications buzzing on your wrist. You just wear it and forget about it. The Fitbit Air looks like a small smooth pebble. You wear it on your wrist with a band. If you want to see your health data, you open the Google Health app on your phone. That is where all the information goes. The device itself just collects the data quietly in the background. For a tiny gadget, it can track a lot. It measures your heart rate all day and all night. It can spot unusual heart rhythms and send you an alert for atrial fibrillation, or Afib. It also checks your blood oxygen levels, your resting heart rate, and something called heart rate variability. On top of that, it tracks your sleep stages and how long you sleep. All of this information feeds into the Google ...

Spotify introduces verification badge to separate real artists from AI-generated music

If you use Spotify , you might start noticing little green checkmarks popping up next to some artist names. The company is rolling out a “Verified by Spotify” badge, and it has one main rule: no AI allowed. Here is why that matters. Streaming platforms are getting flooded with computer-generated music. A recent report from another service called Deezer found that almost half of the daily uploads on these platforms, around 44 percent, are made by AI. Spotify wants to help listeners know when they are listening to a real human artist. So the company created this new badge. It will appear on artist profiles and in search results. But only human artists who follow Spotify’s rules and have real listener activity can get it. The company explicitly says that AI-generated profiles and fake AI personas are not eligible. Most of the big artists you search for will already have the badge. Spotify says that more than 99 percent of popular, actively searched artists...

Apple sued over Siri AI features that never arrived, to pay $250 million settlement

Apple is paying $250 million to end a legal fight with some of its own customers. The case involved people who bought new iPhones expecting a smarter version of Siri that never actually arrived on time. Back in 2024, Apple held its big annual event for developers and showed off a major update to its voice assistant. The company promised this new Siri would understand the context of what you were doing on your phone and take actions inside different apps. It said the feature would be available sometime in 2024. But almost two years later, that version of Siri is still missing. Apple did release some other AI tools during 2024 and 2025, like image creation, text help, and ChatGPT access. The main Siri upgrade, however, never shipped. The lawsuit covers people in the United States who bought an iPhone 16 Series or an iPhone 15 Pro. If a judge agrees to the settlement, those buyers can expect some money back. But as part of the deal, Apple does not have to say it did anyth...

Energizer Ultimate Child Shield battery prevents ingestion burns

Tiny round batteries are easy for young kids to mistake for candy. But if a child swallows one, it can burn their throat in less than 15 minutes. Every year, American hospitals report more than 3,500 cases of kids swallowing these small power cells. Energizer has finally come up with a smarter way to handle this problem. The company just launched a new line of batteries called Ultimate Child Shield . These are 20mm lithium coin batteries, the same size used in many small electronics. But they work very differently from regular ones. First, these batteries do not cause burning in the esophagus if a child swallows them. That alone is a big deal. Second, the batteries have a special blue dye inside. When the battery touches saliva, the dye turns the child’s mouth blue. That gives parents a clear sign that something has happened. They can then rush the child to a doctor. The new batteries come in three sizes: 2032, 2025, and 2016. You will find these sizes in things l...

OPPO Find N6 is now on Globe Postpaid

If you are looking for the best foldable phone right now, the OPPO Find N6 has just landed on Globe Postpaid . Like most foldables, the big selling point here is the inner screen. It measures 8.12 inches when you open it up, converting the smartphone into a tablet-like experience. That gives you plenty of room to look at files, reply to messages, and switch between different apps without the usual clutter you get on smaller screens. Under the hood, you will find a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with 16GB of RAM, which keeps everything running smoothly without annoying lags. OPPO made some changes to the hinge and the glass to fix one of the biggest complaints about foldables: the crease. The new Titanium Flexion Hinge and special glass make the crease really hard to see. It also feels smooth when you swipe your finger over it. The company says the phone can fold 600,000 times and still look flat. In the long run, OPPO claims that it can survive up to a million folds. T...
