Beats Pill portable speaker with 24-hour battery life, USB-C connectivity announced

Beats discontinued its last Bluetooth speaker, the Pill+, back in 2022. Before this decision, Beats had enjoyed success with a range of smaller, portable speakers, including the original Pill and Pill XL models. 9 years after the last release, Beats has reintroduced its new Pill portable speaker, showcasing a completely redesigned and re-engineered version. The most noticeable change in the new Beats Pill is its 20-degree upward tilt, which the company claims enhances sound projection. Beats promises “more powerful, room-filling sound, bigger bass, and improved tonality” thanks to an updated woofer and tweeter combination designed to reduce distortion. Additionally, the new Pill is 10 percent lighter than the Pill+ and features a removable lanyard for easier portability. The speaker is also IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, making it durable enough to survive brief submersion in water. Similar to previous models, users can sync two Beats Pill speakers for stereo audio.

Microsoft Phone Link lets iPhone users use iMessage on Windows PC

Microsoft-Phone-Link

Right on schedule, the Microsoft Phone Link app is now available for iPhone users that will allow them to send and receive messages using iMessage, receive calls, and see app notifications using their Windows PC.

The new Phone Link app update is now available in 85 countries, which includes the Philippines. It lets you connect your iPhone using Bluetooth so you can send and reply to messages, make calls, and see notifications from your Windows laptop or PC.

Microsoft was able to do the messaging feature by intercepting incoming messages over Bluetooth and sending them by utilizing how Apple forces you to send text messages to other iMessage users.

It’s a pretty smart workaround, albeit, Phone Link will not allow you to see the full chat history or join group iMessage conversations.

The said feature should be available automatically to Windows 11 users. If the iOS option is not available, simply check if all the latest updates were installed.

Then, on the iOS device, simply download the Link to Windows app available on the Apple App Store. It works with iOS 14 and up, but sadly, no iPad or macOS support.

Another similar but refined feature is the cameras. It still has four 50-megapixel shooters, however, the main one gets an upgraded 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor. It also has a wider f/1.63 aperture, which can be dropped to f/4.0. The other three cameras use the same 1/2.5-inch Sony IMX858 sensor. That’s for the ultra-wide lens with a 12mm eq
