Apple discontinues the original HomePod

Apple is discontinuing the original HomePod model. On the company's online store, you will see the message "While supplies last" on the product page. In some regions, it is already unavailable. Apple currently has no announced plans of replacing the model. There have also been no rumors of a replacement HomePod in the offing. The HomePod was launched back in 2018.

Motorola Moto G8 and G8 Power have started receiving Android 11 stable update

Back in December, Motorola made a commitment to update quite a few of its devices to Android 11. Both the Moto G8 and the G8 Power were on said list.

Motorola Moto G10 in for review

The Motorola Moto G10 has arrived at our office and it has some tough questions to answer. It seems rather pricey for a phone with a 720p+ display and a Snapdragon 460 chipset. Things look even worse when you notice that the Moto G10 Power is cheaper. Okay, that’s not entirely correct. The Power model is available only in India right now, the vanilla G10 is available only in Europe. So, a direct price comparison is not possible, but the gap is pretty large – the vanilla model is €150, the Power is INR 10,000, which works out to €115 or so. At worst these phones cost the same after EU...
