Apple announced its AirPods 4 and AirPods Max with USB-C last month and the team over at iFixt has now shared their teardowns.
Long story short, neither of the new AirPods offers improvements in terms of repairability. The small AirPods 4 require a specialized jig holder that keeps them in place while a heat gun helps loosen the adhesive to open up the top half of the buds.

Apple iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max come with the latest available Apple iOS 18 pre-installed. While Apple tried to present this new iteration as one of the biggest redesigns, it doesn't feel that big in day-to-day use. However, allowing for deep personalization options across the homescreens and interface does have the potential to make the UI rather unique and different, something which has been lacking...

Does the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE need to exist? It all comes down to price – a 256GB unit will cost you $710 in the US with no promotions and discounts, a Galaxy S24+ 256GB is $1,000. The S24+ is certainly the better phone, but whether it is $290 better remains to be seen. And you shouldn’t be paying full price for these phones, anyway. Samsung US is accepting pre-orders...

Xiaomi's autumn flagship killer series is here - say hello to the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro. The pair strictly follows matches the 13T and 13T Pro with 6.67-inch 144Hz displays (albeit considerably brighter at 4,000 nits), triple cameras, 5,000 batteries, and Dimensity chipsets. The Xiaomi 14T Pro is the more capable of the two. A faster Dimensity 9300+ powers it, touting a single 3.23GHz Cortex-X4, a beefier Immortalis-G720 MC12,... Read more ›

Though this time the problem isn't with Nokia, it's also a patent dispute, with InterDigital, over key patents for 5G and other mobile technologies.... Read more ›

At the beginning of the month, Infinix announced the 5G-enabled Hot 50. Now, the company is bringing a more affordable 4G variant that has the same design, but differs in a few key specs. The Infinix Hot 50 4G is powered by the Helio G100, which replaces the Dimensity 6300. This limits connectivity to a 4G modem, but performance should be quite similar as both chips are fabbed on a...

Something big may be happening in the flagship Galaxy S line, but not next year. The Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra are all coming in January, as usual.
