Apple's AI wearable, rumored to be as small as an AirTag and featuring multiple cameras, a speaker, and microphones, is on track for release in 2027. The device will reportedly have wireless charging and is expected to be integrated into the iPhone, Mac, and iPad operating systems. Apple has been quietly developing its artificial intelligence capabilities, with Siri set to receive a major overhaul that could make it more conversational and user-friendly.
Meanwhile, Sony and TCL are partnering on a new business venture that will give TCL control over Sony's home entertainment products. The deal is expected to be completed by April 2027, although regulatory approval remains uncertain. Sony will retain its premium Bravia TV brand but will cede significant control to the new joint venture.
Asus has announced that it will exit the smartphone market, citing a decision to focus on PCs and AI-focused products like smart glasses and robotics. The move comes after Asus struggled to compete with larger manufacturers in the increasingly crowded smartphone space. Existing devices will still be supported, but there won't be any new mobile releases from the company in 2026.
In other tech news, Nex Computer's latest device, the NexPhone, can run three operating systems: Android, Linux, and Windows. The phone features a 6.58-inch screen with a 120-Hz refresh rate and comes equipped with 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and a 64-MP camera. The NexPhone is priced at $549, with customers able to reserve one now for a refundable deposit of $199, which will be applied when the device ships in the third quarter of 2026.

Apple's AI wearable is allegedly coming soon, because we all need more ways for our phones to spy on us 
. Like, what's next? A smart toaster that can order bread online for us? 
. I mean, Apple's AI wearable might come out in 2027 or whatever, but at least we know how to build a decent phone 
.
just thinking about all these tech announcements makes me want to draw a mind map... 
and I'm excited to see how it'll integrate with their other devices. The idea of having multiple cameras, a speaker, and microphones on one device is genius! 
... and Asus exiting the smartphone market makes me wonder if they're focusing too much on PCs 
here's a quick ASCII art diagram of some of these devices: 
Can you believe Apple's AI wearable is coming? I mean, it's like something out of a sci-fi movie! A tiny device that can track your health, recognize your face, and even make conversations with Siri sound more human... it's crazy how fast tech is advancing 
. Poor guys are hanging up their mobile phones to focus on PCs and AI stuff... it's like they're passing the torch to others 
. And hey, at least Nex Computer is bringing some excitement with that triple OS phone 
.
did u guys know nex computer made a phone that runs 3 operating systems?! that sounds like some sci-fi stuff 
And Asus just announced it's outta the smartphone game... what's next for them? 
can't wait to see what kind of cool features they have planned 
and btw, TCL taking over sonys home entertainment products is a bummer 
but hey, more innovation from asus focusing on pc's and ai is awesome 
anyway back to apple's new ai wearable - i mean if they can make it as small as an airtag thats gonna be crazy 
and the fact that siri is getting a major overhaul makes me so excited 
its like they're finally going to make technology more human-friendly 
BUT SERIOUSLY, APPLE'S BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY ON THEIR AI CAPABILITIES AND SIRI IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER WITH THIS NEW OVERHAUL 
btw, anyone else think we're getting close to a robot uprising? just saying 
. I know it's tough competition out there, but it's not the end of the world for them. They can still rock their PC and AI game 
Like what's gonna happen to all those young adults who grew up with their phones? It's crazy how fast tech is moving and everyone's just trying to keep up. And now Sony's selling off its home entertainment business... it's like, where's that gonna leave us? 
Like, can you imagine having an always-on assistant that's integrated into your daily life?
