Apple Vision Pro update is coming, here's when and what will change
The new headset will ship with a new strap that will make wearing it for longer periods of time more bearable somehow, by reducing neck strain and head pain. This should improve things without actually making the hardware any lighter.
That will only come in 2027 with a redesigned Vision Pro, which should be significantly lighter. Until then, the model coming this year is meant as a stopgap, keeping Apple relevant in the headset market despite its huge price and comfort issues (that may be alleviated somewhat in the upgraded model).
So far Apple has only sold a few hundred thousand units of the Vision Pro, which is a tiny number for a device that was supposed to be the future of computing. It is, however, hard to be that when you're a literal strain on people's heads and necks, not to mention their wallets.

More details emerge about the iQOO 15
Back in May we heard that the iQOO 15 would have a 6.85-inch QHD+ Samsung-made flat LIPO OLED screen, and today the same prolific leaker going by Digital Chat Station on Weibo is back with more details. The phone will have a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, something the iQOO 12 had but the iQOO 13 gave up on, sadly (it only had a non-periscope 2x optical zoom telephoto). iQOO 13 The iQOO 15 also has an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, vivo's self-developed independent display chip, as well as support for 100W wired charging. iQOO is apparently still deciding whether to include wireless charging as well, but it does seem to be leaning towards adding this feature according to DCS. Alongside the periscope, it was one of the few things missing from the iQOO 13 if one wanted to declare it a true all-out flagship device. Of course, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, due to be made official in September. vivo iQOO 12 vivo iQOO 13 Source (in Chinese)

The new earphones are claimed to start at €149 (about $174 when directly converted), which is a major increase from the €99 starting price of the Pixel Buds Google appears to keep the European prices of thesmartphones unchanged from last year, the situation in the United States might be different. A few months ago, there were reports that theXL might see a price hike in the US, while themay become thing to consider is the wild and unpredictable situation with the US import tariffs. Google doesn't manufacture its phones in the US, so every device imported from Vietnam, China, or India might be subject to tariffs. That could lead to a price hike, unless Google decides to eat the my opinion, Google will do its best to keep the US prices of theas low as possible. After last year's increase, a Pixel 9 costs as much as an iPhone 16 or a Galaxy S25 . If Google is forced to raise the price of the, people would need to choose an alternative to the most popular phones and pay more for the pleasure. That would make the already complicated choice of a Pixel phone even more difficult.

iPhone 17 colorways leak too
Yesterday the upcoming iPhone 17 Air's colorways leaked, and today it's time for the 'vanilla' iPhone 17 to get the same treatment. And while it will be offered in more colors than its thinner cousin, unfortunately this leak doesn't come with full-on renders depicting each hue. We do however have what seem to be replacement camera rings for it, which showcase the five colors in which the iPhone 17 will allegedly arrive: blue, silver, black, green, and purple. The transparent ring isn't meant for a transparent iPhone 17, that's not happening, it's just another option for those who'd like the transparent look on their device. While these are said to be the iPhone 17's launch colors, it's possible that Apple may release an additional one or two down the line. For comparison, note that the iPhone 16 comes in black, white, pink, teal, and "Ultramarine". So it's still five colorways, just different ones (aside from black). The iPhone 17 will be by far the lowest-end of the four models launching in September, with the A19 non-Pro chip, and possibly stuck at 8GB of RAM like its predecessor despite all three other models coming with the A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM. It will however have one more camera compared to the iPhone 17 Air, and a bigger battery. Apple iPhone 16 Source (in Korean)
