We’re almost certain that the Apple Watch 4 will launch next week at Apple’s iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max event. But the Apple Watch 4 may look like thisHere’s what we do like about this implausible Apple Watch 4 leak: it gives you a good idea of what we expect from the smartwatch ahead of next week’s announcement. The Apple Watch 4 itself might not be any bigger; certainly not 15% bigger. The plan is said to be to wipe away the needless black bezel that surround the Apple Watch 3 and earlier wat

Fujifilm has confirmed the latest mirrorless addition to its seven-year-old X series, the X-T3. This lacks an optical low-pass filter, and is said to maintain the same noise levels as on previous models despite the increase in pixel count. Furthermore, Fujifilm is keen to stress that the base native ISO of the sensor begins at ISO160, which was previously only available as an extension. In traditional Fujifilm style, we once again see improvements made to autofocus performance, in particular to

There’s a new Roomba robot vacuum on its way that looks to be a lot smarter about how it navigates your home, and how it cleans up after itself. The iRobot Roomba i7+ is a development on the previous Roomba 980 , bringing in a new Smart Mapping system that memorises the layouts of different rooms. Take a look at our hands-on review for the iRobot Roomba i7+Another neat addition is a small bin attached to the Roomba’s charging dock, which it automatically returns to after a clean to dump the dust

Quite simply, it sounds like hell, and it’s little wonder that Google Assistant is in the midst of an identity crisis, with users reporting random changes in accent, language, and gender when Google Assistant responds to their queries or commands.

Even within technology circles, the smart home market can be hard to define precisely – and equally it can be hard to tell when a ‘dumb’ appliance becomes a ‘smart’ one. Smart speakers have really led the charge here, with the prominence of the Amazon Echo convincing countless third-party manufacturers to fit the Alexa smart assistant into their products. There’s work to be done here, and the proliferation of multiple smart assistants and software platforms makes compatibility hard to ensure. Ph

There are lots of bike manufacturers out there, so Bosch has come up with a great way of getting its ebike technology to a mass-market audience. What that means is they can mate their Bosch ebike drive systems with designs from the likes of Apache and Atala right on through the alphabet to Winora and Zemo, plus all points in between. Going forwards more efficiently is one thing the new power unit is sure to help with, but Bosch has also tackled the need for better brakes. In fact, for 2019, the

Both the big iPhone XS Max and the normal-sized iPhone XS are reportedly ready to launch at Apple’s event on Wednesday, September 12. The thinking is that the iPhone XS Max won’t have vastly di

Following the immediate dismissal of its lead star following sexual abuse allegations, Netflix and the team behind House of Cards were forced to make some drastic changes to its show in an effort to give it a proper send-off. While it was already known that Netflix would continue the award-winning series for one more season without Kevin Spacey, just how it would do so has remained a mystery to all outside of the production — until now. As you can see from the show’s new season 6 teaser, which f

In an Android blog post titled “The search for JOMO”, Google revealed the results of a recently-published long-term study on “excessive smartphone use and healthy disconnection”. Finally, the idea of partial disconnection recognizes that phones still have immense utility in contemporary society and that it’s impractical to abandon them entirely. As such, essential features and functions should be readily accessible while distracting and addictive apps should be limited and restricted. The breake

The new resolution is likely 384 x 480 on the larger 42mm Apple Watch 4. That’s a sizable jump from the 312 x 390 resolution on the 42mm Apple Watch 3. This backs up the theory that the Apple Watch 4 screen will be 15% bigger than last year’s watch. The edge-to-edge Apple Watch 4 display is poised to be the biggest visual change for the iPhone-compatible smartwatch since original Watch launched in in 2015. But it appears to be Apple’s blunt way of conveying that the Apple Watch 4 is getting the

Even the most power-efficient drones can only fly for about half an hour without needing a charge, but the United States Army is working on a novel solution – and it involves lasers. The US Army hopes to mitigate these problems by developing more accurate targeting, and finding more effective ways to dissipate thermal energy. It’s currently working on a working model that will demonstrate the process ground-to-ground, and intends to have a ground-to-air system operational by 2020. It’s highly un
