The SonarPen 2 is the most affordable iPad stylus with pressure sensitivity

Perhaps one of the more sensible alternatives to the Apple Pencil stylus for iPads is the SonarPen and it's now getting a second generation. The SonarPen 2's key selling point is its battery-free design and the support for some advanced features at a fraction of the Apple Pencil's price. The SonarPen 2 is powered by a cable that you plug into the iPad's USB-C port, which is a bit of an inconvenience, but it's a pretty simple and straightforward solution. That's what makes it cheap and particularly useful for classrooms that use iPads, for example. You don't have to charge all the...

Moto G05 and G15 renders leak showing identical twins

Here's something we don't see very often (or ever). Today we have leaked images showing two separate upcoming Motorola phones. So far so unremarkable. What is out of the ordinary is that they look 100% the same. The only difference can be found in the colors that will be offered. Moto G05 leaked renders We're talking about the Moto G05 and Moto G15. The G05 will come in orange, and that's how we know which is which. The devices should hopefully be more different on the inside. More Moto G05 leaked renders Both phones will have a 50 MP main rear camera, and...

Apple now promises to invest $100 million in Indonesia to get rid of iPhone 16 ban

Last month the iPhone 16 series got banned in Indonesia, because of Apple having previously committed to investing IDR 1.71 trillion (approximately $107 million) in the country in local R&D facilities and then not meeting that commitment. Earlier this month, Apple pledged around $10 million in investments in Indonesia in a new factory to circumvent the ban, and today the company has boosted that planned investment tenfold, up to $100 million - which incidentally is very, very close to the sum it was initially supposed to invest and didn't. The $100 million would be invested in...
