The Humane AI Pin failed, so why is Apple building one too?

Humane AI Pin Rendered Concept Image

The Humane AI Pin was supposed to change everything. A tiny, screenless computer pinned to your chest, ready to answer questions, take photos, and replace your phone. It launched in spring 2024 to brutal reviews and struggled to gain traction. By 2025, the company was reportedly exploring a sale. The AI pin, as a concept,

Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ TWS Earbuds review – What’s not to like?

Soundpeats Air5 Pro 21

Last September, I reviewed the Soundpeats H3 hybrid earbuds. What I said at the beginning of the review bears repeating: Reviewing earbuds (earphones, in-ear monitors, etc.) today is both good and bad news. The good news is that it’s almost impossible to buy a terrible pair of earbuds. Unless you bought a $15 pair at

This 8.9mm Smartwatch Packs More Sensors Than It Should

OPPO Watch S Features

We’ve been trained to expect trade-offs from thin wearables. Slim the case down and something gets cut: battery life shrinks, sensor arrays thin out, GPS accuracy drops to single-band. It’s the unspoken design rule of the smartwatch world, and most brands have followed it so consistently that buyers stopped questioning it. The OPPO Watch S

Ugreen’s New Power Bank Listens and Charges

Ugreen MagFlow power bank with voice recorder - 1

ARTICLE – We’ve gotten used to the idea that every gadget should do more than one thing to earn space in a bag. Multitools and earbuds that double as health monitors prove the concept works when the execution is solid. Other times, the result falls flat.
