One UI 5.0 beta based on Android 13 reaches the Galaxy S21 family

Earlier this month, Samsung opened up the public beta for One UI 5 based on Android 13 for the Galaxy S22 series, and today this is now also jumping to the Galaxy S21 devices. So far, the beta program seems to have been started for these in Korea and the UK. Enrolling requires using the Samsung Members app, locating the prominent One UI 5.0 beta program banner inside it, tapping that, and registering your details and device. Once that's done, it's normally only a few minutes' wait until you'll get an update notification. The beta in question is labeled as build G99xBXXU5ZVHE, where...

Next iPhone SE to look like the iPhone XR, iPhone 14 Pro to get new ultrawide camera

The next iPhone SE will finally drop its current design and switch to one that will allegedly be identical to that of the iPhone XR from 2018. That is, if a new rumor on the matter is to be believed. Its source is Jon Prosser, talking on the Geared Up podcast, and he has provided reliable information in the past, so maybe this does in fact pan out. But you probably shouldn't get the bubbly ready just yet, as there was a new iPhone SE launched earlier this year, and it came two years after its predecessor. And thus, if Apple keeps the same release pacing for this series, it means the new...

Current Apple Watch bands may not fit the Apple Watch Pro

Apple is expected to be announcing a new Apple Watch at an iPhone event next week. In addition to the standard refreshed Apple Watches, analysts claim that a rumored Apple Watch “Pro” will be featured during the livestream, one that might use premium materials and may retail for over $900. It will have a larger 47mm case (the Series 7 Apple watch comes in 41mm and 45mm versions).
