The Apple Watch is no longer just a smart wearable that doubles as a status symbol. The wrist-based powerhouse is capable of saving lives thanks to a bevy of different features, but there’s one area—blood pressure readings—that Apple has never been able to crack. Now, a new rumor hints that the necessary sensors could come to the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. It’s a technology that Apple has tried to crack for a while now, but Mark Gurman said in his Power On! newsletter that we might see blood pressure sensors in the next iteration…

Hints don’t get much bigger than the one dropped by Oppo Chief Product Officer Pete Lau on the Chinese social network Weibo about the Oppo Find N5. What makes this hint extra special is that the Oppo Find N5 is a big-screen folding phone that’s almost certainly going to very closely resemble the OnePlus Open 2. As tech fans may already know, while Lau works for Oppo now, he co-founded OnePlus. “The world’s thinnest folding flagship, Oppo Find N5, see you in February,” reads the message posted to Weibo, which is accompanied by a teaser image showing a pencil obscuring…
To the average consumer, the pictures they take with their phone are often good enough,” Spectricity’s chief marketing officer, Henrik Andersen, told me during a Google Meet call during CES 2025. He was talking about the ongoing challenge of getting exciting new camera technology into our phones when the major players tend to be conservative in their approach, and unless you’re an enthusiast, the advancements may not appear all that meaningful at first. Spectricity produces something called a multispectral imager (MSI) sensor, which looks deep into visible light to bring more natural colors and vastly improved white balance to smartphone…
It’s possible that Venus and Earth once simultaneously existed as pleasant worlds hosting mild temperatures and oceans. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how Venusian conditions today — with pizza oven-like temperatures, a crushing atmosphere, and past evidence of widespread volcanism — came to be. The results suggest that Venus, over a series of massive volcanic outgassing events and other geologic changes, transitioned from an Earth-like world to the hellish land we see today. Even the longest-lived robot sent to Venus survived for just two hours. “It’s hot enough to melt lead,” Matthew Weller, a planetary geophysicist at Rensselaer Polytechnic…
The story in this sequel season showed protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) taking part in the dreaded Squid Games again in his quest to end to the inhumane contest once and for all. Though Gi-hun may have had enough of this barbaric tournament, the show’s massive amount of viewers on streaming has proven that people can’t get enough of Squid Game. Though some fans may be too anxious to wait for Squid Game 3, they can watch several other films and shows like it in the meantime. Such viewing choices feature comparable stories with death games, black humor, and/or themes…
There have not been very many onscreen depictions of Vladimir Putin, perhaps in part because he is still Russia’s leader and so the story of his reign is not yet over. In a recent interview with Deadline, though, Jude Law revealed that he’ll be playing the Russian leader during the first part of his governing career in Olivier Assayas’s new film, The Wizard of the Kremlin. “I say that hesitatingly because I haven’t really started work on it yet,” Law explained. “I mean, I have, but at the moment it looks like an Everest to climb, so I’m in the foothills…
With the launch of the Galaxy S25 series just around the corner, there has been a lot of speculation about the so-called S25 Slim. It might be too early to sing its praises, though; according to a reliable tipster, the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 (also known as the Oppo Find N5 in the Chinese market) might be the thinnest foldable phone ever made. Digital Chat Station, a leaker with a pretty trustworthy track record, has claimed the OnePlus Open 2 will beat out even the Honor Magic V3. The Honor Magic V3 is only 9.2mm folded and 4.35mm unfolded —…
Apple embarked on a design refresh trajectory for its smartwatch line last year, starting with the Apple Watch Series 10. Now, the company is reportedly eyeing a similar treatment for the Apple Watch SE refresh that arrives later this year. In the latest edition of his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman mentions a design makeover for the entry-level smartwatch. “A fresh version of the lower-end SE model will sport a new look,” says the report. Recommended Videos Gurman didn’t dig into details about the specific changes buyers can expect from the next Apple Watch SE. A previous Bloomberg report, however,…
