The OnePlus Watch 3 is making waves with an impressive five-day battery life, a huge leap over competitors like the Apple Watch, which still struggles to last beyond a day without restrictions. Thanks to its new silicon-carbon battery technology and dual-chip architecture, the OnePlus Watch 3 balances smart features with power efficiency, eliminating the frustration of constantly recharging. At $330, it offers full access to Wear OS 5 without the usual battery trade-offs, making it an exciting option for smartwatch users. This is a game-changer — battery life has been the Achilles’ heel of smartwatches for years, and OnePlus might have just cracked the code.
China has unveiled its latest supersonic drone, the Monkey King, which aims to reach Mach 4 — twice the speed of Concorde — while flying at an altitude of 12.4 miles. Developed by Lingkong Tianxing Technology, the seven-metre UAV is powered by detonation engines and is part of a broader effort to develop high-speed passenger jets, with a commercial aircraft based on this tech expected by 2030. Honestly, while the prospect of supersonic passenger flights is exciting, given the fate of Concorde, the real challenge will be making it commercially viable and addressing concerns over cost, safety, and environmental impact.
Apple is set to announce a new product on February 19, with the iPhone SE 4 widely expected to take centre stage. This long-awaited budget-friendly iPhone will bring a major design overhaul inspired by the iPhone 14, featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a 48MP camera, and USB-C charging — all at a lower price point. Other potential announcements include a new M4 MacBook Air with better performance and battery life, minor iPad updates, and possibly a HomePad smart display for home automation. Apple is also expected to release iOS 18.4, bringing powerful AI-driven Siri enhancements. Personally, while the iPhone SE 4 might not be the flashiest release, its upgraded features at a lower price could make it a huge hit, especially for those who don’t need or want a high-end flagship.
