There is a clear and growing trend in the tech industry when it comes to fitness-focused products and services, and in 2020 we’ve only seen things moving in one direction. Anyone who been to a trade show like CES of IFA in the last two years will have witnessed it first hand. It has never been easier to ‘buy yourself fitter’, but how much of an impact is smart tech really having on the health of our populations?
Apple has again worked on the privacy notices in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. This includes green and orange dots that may appear in the display. Here’s what they mean.
What is new with Apple’s watchOS 7? For starters, it will allow you to share watch faces with others easily. In this post, we will show how you can let those creative juices flow in order to conjure and share your creations with your family and friends.
In addition to getting you through the checkout line as quickly as possible, Apple also wants you to stay fit and burn fat. The Cupertino company has partnered with the government of Singapore to roll out a fitness and population health program. It looks like the best of all worlds is just around the corner!
Apple made it clear from the beginning of the evening: today we are talking about two products – the Apple Watch and the iPad. No new iPhone. During the live keynote, Apple introduced the new Apple Watch Series 6 and a brand new product line within its smartwatch range: the Apple Watch SE.
Super-fast speed and extremely short latency – surfing on a mobile device in Europe should be as reliable as it is from the home. On paper, the 5G global wireless standard is supposed to be 100 times faster compared to the existing 4G network. As you can never quite get enough speed when it comes to the Internet, especially in the age of YouTube, podcast streaming as well as video conferencing via virtual calls, it is inevitable that we move along with the times. With starting price of £299 attached to the new Moto G 5G Plus from Motorola in the UK, you will be able to embark on your 5G journey without having to break the bank. As this smartphone has certainly made a mark for itself in this review, holding one in your hands (with a proper 5G connection) is a potent combination that makes you want to remain online at all times.
Until now, LG’s idea of hopping on to the foldable smartphone bandwagon was to let users attach a secondary screen to the original phone. They tinkered with this idea on the LG V50 series and the LG G8X ThinQ. With manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, and even Motorola having released ‘proper’ folding smartphones, it was only a matter of time before LG came up with their own (crazy) implementation. And that implementation came in the form of the new LG Wing. With its radical new ‘Wing’ design, LG seems to have found a rather ingenious method to manufacture a smartphone that has a radical design – while having fewer complications to deal with.
Beverly Hills-based events promoter and venue operator has partnered with silicon giant Qualcomm to bring 5G to the live music experience. For those who disdain people who spend gigs filming the show on their smartphones, the future of live concerts sounds like a show I don’t want a ticket for.
When it comes to smartphones, LG does seem to miss the mark more frequently than hit the bullseye. Having said that, the consumer electronics giant is unwilling to miss the boat when it comes to mobile accessory trends such as True Wireless headphones. With the LG Tone Free FN6, the company has a very interesting proposition for those who decide to take the plunge. It sports UV-C light-emitting diodes in the charging case that will get to work disinfecting the headphones’ surface area while it is charging, and in theory, that ought to eliminate nasty germs. However, it is still primarily a listening device, so what about its performance, capability, and battery life? In order to find out, I reviewed the LG Tone Free FN6 during the recent lockdown.
When it comes to fitness and health wearable devices, the Apple Watch is considered by many to be a high-end purchase. But you don’t have €450 ($530) or more to splurge on a smartwatch with a similar set of useful features should you want a wearable device that ticks all of the right boxes. Today, the hybrid timepiece known as the Withings ScanWatch will launch, where it comes complete with a whole range of health features without passing the €300 ($355) mark. I was able to get my hands on one ahead of its official release and would like to share my first impressions with you.
