OpenAI will voluntarily comply with Trump's new AI reviews order

OpenAI's head of countries, George Osborne, said that it will voluntarily comply with President Trump's new AI executive order. The order, signed by Trump on Tuesday, requests (not orders) access to the latest AI models 30 days before their release. The order was originally drafted to require companies to submit their AI models 90 days before public release. But public pushback and Trump's own publicly-admitted doubts made the change. OpenAI will submit its next-gen AI models to participate in a benchmarking process to assess “advanced cyber capabilities of AI models and determine...

The new AI Siri will require a waitlist to try, new report claims

On Monday, June 8, Apple will unveil iOS 27, which is widely rumored to contain the revamped AI-infused Siri powered by Google's Gemini models. This has been a very long time coming, with the company first announcing an AI Siri back in June of 2024. That has seen delay after delay, but it's now finally (almost) here. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the new Siri will be labeled as a beta at first, and will require you to join a waitlist in order to try it. Now it's unclear whether this waitlist will function only during the iOS 27 beta period, or will also be extended even after iOS...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is now confirmed to skip any sort of charging upgrade

Back in April, a rumor told us that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 would still only support 25W wired charging and nothing more, just like its predecessor - in fact, just like all Galaxy Z Flips since the Galaxy Z Flip4.

The aforementioned rumor from April also said the Flip8 would have a 4,300 mAh battery, which is exactly the same capacity as its predecessor.

iPhone 18 Pro Max's aluminum frame leaks in three colors

Today three colors for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max have allegedly been leaked. What you can see below are purported to be the aluminum body frames for the device, in "Dark Cherry", "Cloud Blue", and black.

Apple partners with Nvidia and Google to launch next-generation Siri in September

According to a report by The Information, Apple is partnering with Google and Nvidia to power the next-generation, AI-infused Siri. But it's not just a normal partnership; Apple will strongly rely on Nvidia's Blackwell chips and Google's Gemini AI model. It's an interesting shift in strategy as Apple is usually known for either diversifying or taking the development of its products in-house. However, the latest report suggests that some Siri queries will run on Google Cloud on a licensed version of Gemini. Additionally, Google's data center will make use of Nvidia's Blackwell B200...

Samsung is moving its US headquarters to Texas

Samsung’s US operations have been headquartered in New Jersey for over 40 years – and the majority of that time was spent in Ridgefield Park. Then in 2024, the company announced that it will move to Englewood Cliffs, also in New Jersey. But now Samsung is moving again and is leaving the state altogether. According to the Korea Times, Samsung will relocate its headquarters to Plano, Texas. Plano is just north of Dallas and is around 200 miles away from Taylor.

Weekly poll: will you buy the Xiaomi 17T or the Xiaomi 17T Pro?

Last year, the Xiaomi 15T Pro easily won over the vanilla 15T in our poll. Now that the 17T generation has arrived, will history repeat itself? There is a good chance that it might not – the new vanilla model brings some key improvements that could improve its fortunes, but there are some issues too. The biggest issue may be the price – the Xiaomi 17T starts at €750, while the 17T Pro starts at €900 (for a 12/256GB phone in both cases). This is a €100 price hike compared to the 15T pair. We get it, everything has gotten more expensive, especially devices that need fast RAM and storage....

Weekly poll results: Android 17 with better security and AirDrop support has people excited

Last week, we asked you about which announcements coming out of Google I/O had you buzzing with excitement – in general, but also specifically for the upcoming Android 17 update. Starting with the top-level question, Android 17 was by far the best thing demoed at I/O 2026. Not surprising, given our audience. But the ranking of the other options did surprise us – barely anyone cared about Wear OS 7. The smartwatches lost to Gemini Intelligence and Android Auto (which were essentially tied) and even the new Googlebook design (the Android-powered laptops) sparked more interest. Some...

It took a while, but the Samsung Galaxy A57 is finally up on Amazon – and it kicks things off with a $60 discount. That’s a bit less than the A37 discount, but it’s enough to shift the balance of power between the two. The A37 is the cheaper model and if you can live with 6GB of RAM and 128GB non-expandable storage, then yes, it is meaningfully cheaper.
