Šonedēļ #DigitālāsBrokastis runājam par jauno vietējo taksometru servisu “Ruut”, un par Īlona Maska jauno projektu “Grokipedia”.  Un jāuzmanās — reāllaika balss dziļviltojumi kļūst satraucoši ticami. Radīts pasaulē mazākais OLED pikselis, kas var mainīt VR un viedierīču nākotni. Un raugoties nākotnē: Eiropas ambīcijas izveidot savu “Starlink” konkurentu.

39 collas, OLED panelis un 240 Hz atsvaidzes ātrums — ar to "LG 39GX90SA" tiecās būt premium klases monitors un TV divi vienā. Bet vai videospēļu jaudas un mājas kino komforta solījumi piepildās un ir cenas vērti? Noklausies apskatā! * Monitoru neatkarīgam un neapmaksātam apskatam sagādāja LG Electronics Latvia.

Das OnePlus 15 ist erschienen und bringt eine große Neuerung im Kamerabereich. Der langjährige Kamerapartner Hasselblad ist weg und wurde ersetzt. Gleichzeitig gibt es einen riesigen Akku und Top-Hardware. Geht der Kompromiss auf?

The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

In this week's MobileViews Podcast 583, I was joined by Jon Westfall and Don Sorcinelli to discuss several current topics in personal technology. We began with a report that Apple may release a MacBook Pro with an OLED touch screen in 2026. While I am interested in the concept based on my positive experiences with Windows touch screen laptops, Jon and Don expressed some skepticism about the utility of a touch screen on a non-convertible device. We also covered Google's new "Recovery Contacts" feature, an account security option that allows you to designate a trusted person to help you regain access if you're locked out.   The second half of the show focused on the rapid evolution of AI. Jon shared how he has been using Google's NotebookLM in his college classes to create study guides and quizzes from open educational resources, effectively replacing publisher-provided supplements. I discussed how the new integration of the Nano Banana imaging model into NotebookLM significantly improves its ability to create narrated slideshows with relevant visual examples. This led to a broader conversation about the concept of "AI as a platform," prompted by Walmart's new partnership with OpenAI that allows users to make purchases from within the chat interface. We concluded by discussing the rush by all major tech companies to integrate AI into their products and the potential long-term implications of these new platform and business models.

过去几年，我们经常被问一个问题：音频这个媒介有什么独特优势？我们一般会这么回答：在耳边说话更能入脑入心，也更适合长时间一心二用的场景。这话当然没错，但背后一个更大的事实是：大多数时间，我们还是通过眼睛来获取信息。而很多时候，眼睛可以约等于一个硬件——屏幕。屏幕是我们当代生活的“基础设施”，它覆盖了我们的日常生活，同时，消费电子产品对屏幕的依赖程度和要求也都越来越高。但大多数人不了解的是，屏幕——或者准确地说，显示面板——这个行业，其实是一个非常残酷的行业。它重资产、有周期，并且有着残酷的技术迭代节奏，你可能投入数百亿元才能拿到入场券，且仍有可能赔本。而本期节目的主角TCL，在2009年毅然投身于此。在此之前，它更有名的身份是“彩电大王”，但行业的残酷现状让TCL创始人、董事长李东生决定从终端产品向上转型，生产屏幕这个核心零部件。如今TCL通过TCL实业、TCL科技两个产业集团，核心业务已扩展到了智能终端、半导体显示和新能源光伏，更是屏幕行业的巨头之一。从造好一块屏幕到定义一块好屏，这条转型之路或许能帮助我们理解究竟何为“长期主义”——背后往往需要精准的选择和极致的执行。感谢TCL对本期节目的支持。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:33 全球每年生产的屏幕有3-4亿平方米04:25 什么叫卡脖子，这就叫卡脖子07:35 转型做屏幕一旦失败，之前20多年全部抹平11:13 你必须正确预判三年后消费者需要什么样的屏幕14:10 面对先发优势，如何寻找突破口17:54 Mini LED，TCL找到的最优解26:25 OLED时代还要选择：用什么生产方式？34:32 AI时代的屏幕，会是什么样的？| 延伸资料 |液晶 VS 等离子大战这是上世纪末到2000年代初的“平板电视之战”。当时全球彩电行业正从笨重的CRT显像管过渡到“平板时代”，谁能主导新技术，谁就能拿下未来十年的电视市场。液晶电视（LCD）和等离子电视（PDP）互相竞争，代表了两种完全不同的显示原理：等离子屏通过让气体放电产生等离子体，再激发荧光粉发光，色彩鲜艳、对比度高、响应速度快；液晶屏则靠液晶分子在电场控制下改变透光率，再配合背光源显示画面，亮度高、能耗低。 最终液晶胜出，原因是成本更低、寿命更长、能耗更小，且容易做成小尺寸产品。到2010年前后，等离子几乎全面退出市场。 也因此，押注等离子的日本企业（如松下、夏普等）在面板行业逐渐式微，押注液晶的三星、LG等企业至今仍是面板行业的领先者。而包括TCL在内的中国企业在这个过程中也逐渐积累液晶面板的技术实力。LCD（Liquid Crystal Display，液晶显示）液晶屏是一种“光阀技术”，液晶本身不会发光，它像百叶窗一样，通过电信号控制光线是否通过。背后有一层背光模组提供白光，前方则是由液晶层、彩色滤光片和偏光片组成的结构。LCD 的优势是成熟、便宜、亮度高、功耗低，广泛用于电视、显示器和手机；缺点是对比度和响应速度有限，黑色不够纯。更关键的是，不够轻便。OLED（Organic Light Emitting Diode，有机发光二极管）与LCD不同，OLED 是自发光技术：每个像素都能自己发光，不需要背光源。它的优点包括：l 黑色纯粹，对比度极高（因为像素能完全关闭）；l 屏幕更薄、更柔性，可以做成曲面或可折叠屏；l 响应速度快，适合高端影像或游戏显示。缺点是寿命有限（特别是蓝光像素），且成本高、烧屏风险存在。OLED 蒸镀法蒸镀法是目前主流高端 OLED 屏幕（尤其是智能手机）采用的生产工艺，主要由日本的 Canon Tokki 公司设备垄断。它的流程可以理解为在真空腔里“蒸出一层极薄的光”。以下是核心原理：先在玻璃或柔性塑料基板上形成电极等底层结构；然后把红、绿、蓝三种有机发光材料放入蒸镀源中，加热到它们汽化；在真空状态下，材料分子像“烟雾”一样沉积到基板上，形成极薄的发光层；通过高精度金属掩膜版（Fine Metal Mask, FMM）来“印”出每个像素的位置和颜色。蒸镀法精度高，能实现极细微的像素结构，是现阶段高 PPI 手机屏的主流选择；但掩膜需要极高精度加工，成本昂贵，且难以做得足够大，所以蒸镀法不适合生产大尺寸电视；此外，材料利用率极低——只有约 30% 的有机材料能真正沉积到屏幕上，其余都浪费在真空腔壁上；因此，这是一种昂贵但成熟、适合小尺寸高端产品的工艺。目前三星和LG仍是蒸镀路线的主导者。OLED印刷法印刷法是另一种OLED制造思路，被视为下一代低成本解决方案，可适用于全尺寸。它像喷墨打印机一样，把有机发光材料“喷”到基板上，形成图案。优点是材料浪费少、成本低、适合全尺寸产品；缺点是供应链不成熟，材料、设备开发成本高。TCL华星是全球最积极推动印刷OLED技术的企业之一。一块屏幕的主要参数一块显示屏的“好坏”，通常由以下几项核心参数决定：l 分辨率（Resolution）：画面像素的多少，越高越清晰。l 刷新率（Refresh Rate）：每秒画面更新次数，影响流畅度，游戏屏幕常见120Hz、240Hz。l 对比度（Contrast Ratio）：最亮与最暗的亮度比，越高越“通透”。l 亮度（Brightness）：屏幕发光强度，单位是nits，户外可读性关键指标。l 色域（Color Gamut）：能显示的颜色范围，如sRGB、DCI-P3，越广越鲜艳。l 响应时间（Response Time）：像素由亮变暗的速度，越短越不拖影。《万物生生》，秦朔、戚德志著，中信出版社，2021年晚点LatePost，《印刷OLED屏幕正式量产，TCL 华星的11年开发历程》经济观察报，《赢家在上游：谁在定义一块“电竞好屏”？》《商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信，加入听友群，一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号：thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境，我们准备了两个小问题，请在添加微信后回答：1，你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目？为什么？2，你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题？期待与你交流！| 后期制作 |kk| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ 音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经 YiMagazine联系我们：thatisbiz@yicai.com

Es wird wieder gezockt in der DinoZone - und das aus bekannten Gründen sogar zumindest teilweise mit KI-enhanced, automatisch mit der Playstation ausgedealter dynamic resolution und framerate, die sonst den oberen 10.000 vorbehalten ist. Oder so ähnlich zumindest.

¿Apostó Apple por el caballo equivocado? Comentamos dos casos de cerca: el enfoque de la gama "Vision" y su acuerdo con Globalstar.En este episodio, analizamos las recientes especulaciones sobre la estrategia futura de Apple en torno a Vision Pro. Comentamos los rumores que sugieren una posible cancelación de los modelos más asequibles en favor de un enfoque en gafas más "normales". Explicamos cómo la Vision Pro actual podría permanecer como una "visión de futuro" de gama alta, mientras esperamos una posible actualización con el chip M5 y la expansión de contenido inmersivo, como las transmisiones tridimensionales de partidos de la NBA, para realzar la experiencia del usuario.Abordamos también una significativa reorganización interna en Apple, incluyendo la posible partida de ejecutivos clave como Jeff Williams, y los nuevos roles de Eddy Cue en salud y fitness, y de Craig Federighi y John Ternus en el desarrollo del Apple Watch. En este contexto, comentamos el rumoreado servicio de suscripción "Health Plus", con un asistente de IA para nutrición y ejercicio. Además, reflexionamos sobre la decepcionante trayectoria de la aplicación Clips, que, a pesar de su potencial para el video corto, no consiguió capitalizar el auge de plataformas como TikTok, lo que consideramos una falta de prioridad o visión por parte de Apple.Finalmente, profundizamos en la compleja estrategia de Apple en el ámbito de la conectividad satelital. Explicamos la fuerte inversión de Apple en Globalstar para el servicio de SOS en el iPhone y la comparamos con los movimientos agresivos de SpaceX, que ha adquirido un vasto espectro para ofrecer conectividad directa a dispositivos, generando preocupación sobre si Apple apostó por el "caballo equivocado".

El primer teléfono de tres pliegues podría llegar a todo el mundo  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo   Escucha y comenta este episodio en Flash DiarioEl nuevo Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold podría venderse fuera de Corea del Sur y China. Fuentes cercanas aseguran que Samsung planea un lanzamiento global, impulsado por su confianza en el diseño y potencia de su primer móvil con tres pliegues.  Samsung va a presentar su primer teléfono con pantalla de tres pliegues, y ya no será exclusivo de Asia. Nuevos reportes confirman que el Galaxy Z TriFold saldrá también en Emiratos Árabes Unidos y posiblemente en Estados Unidos. Esto cambia las expectativas: un producto que parecía limitado podría ser el primer tri-fold realmente global. La presentación podría ocurrir en el foro APEC, en Corea, entre el 31 de octubre y el 1 de noviembre. Este paso marca una nueva fase en la batalla de los plegables entre Samsung, Huawei y Motorola. ¿Estamos frente al futuro de los teléfonos o frente a una moda cara con fecha de caducidad?  Pero la competencia con Huawei y Motorola se va a intensificar.  El Galaxy Z TriFold sería el primer teléfono de Samsung capaz de doblarse en tres partes, con una pantalla OLED de 10 pulgadas.Cuando está cerrado, se convierte en un móvil compacto con una pantalla de 6,5 pulgadas en la tapa.Por dentro, llevaría el procesador Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, hasta 16 GB de memoria RAM y un chasis de titanio.El diseño incluye tres bisagras y tres baterías internas para equilibrar el peso y la energía. Además, ofrecería cámara triple con sensor principal de 200 megapíxeles, zoom digital de 100 x y carga inalámbrica reversible. Todo esto bajo Android 16 con la interfaz One UI 8, prometiendo siete años de actualizaciones de sistema. La fecha de lanzamiento apunta al cierre de octubre, junto al foro APEC en Gyeongju, Corea del Sur.  Durante meses, los rumores indicaban que el Galaxy Z TriFold sería exclusivo para Corea y China. Esa estrategia parecía un paso atrás frente a Huawei, que ya lanzó su Mate XT de 10,2 pulgadas con formato más panorámico. El diseño de Huawei se abre hacia afuera; el de Samsung, hacia adentro en tres partes. Dos filosofías distintas que compiten por dominar el formato plegable del futuro. Motorola y Google también avanzan, apostando por pantallas más duraderas y bisagras sin pliegues visibles. Mientras tanto, los usuarios esperan mejoras en batería, peso y precio. Si el TriFold llega realmente a más países, el mercado de los plegables volverá a moverse con fuerza.La gran pregunta es: ¿será práctico para la vida diaria o un lujo para unos pocos?  Samsung parece confiar más que nunca en su innovación. Según SamMobile y Notebookcheck, la expansión internacional del TriFold ya estaría confirmada, con Emiratos Árabes Unidos como primer país fuera de Asia. Después podrían sumarse Estados Unidos y Reino Unido.La decisión no solo muestra confianza, también marca un mensaje claro a sus rivales: Samsung sigue liderando la categoría que creó en 2019 con el primer Galaxy Fold. En 2024, la marca tenía el 32,9 % del mercado mundial de plegables, frente al 23 % de Huawei y el 17 % de Motorola. Pero Huawei tomó la delantera con su Mate XT y ahora Samsung necesita demostrar que su modelo de tres pliegues puede ofrecer una mejor experiencia. Si logra combinar potencia, durabilidad y utilidad, el TriFold podría redefinir lo que entendemos por teléfono y tableta.  El dispositivo fue mostrado por primera vez en enero, durante la presentación del Galaxy S25. Desde entonces, se ha mantenido bajo secreto hasta ahora, cuando se acerca su presentación oficial en el foro APEC. Ese evento reúne a 21 economías del Asia–Pacífico y se centrará en salud digital y tecnologías inteligentes. Samsung aprovecharía esa vitrina internacional para presentar su nuevo plegable como un ejemplo de innovación tecnológica global.La competencia con Huawei, Motorola y hasta Google refleja una tendencia clara: los teléfonos se están convirtiendo en herramientas flexibles, capaces de pasar de bolsillo a escritorio sin perder potencia.Si el TriFold logra combinar tres pantallas, tres baterías y una cámara de 200 MP sin sacrificar la experiencia de uso, podríamos estar ante el nuevo estándar de los dispositivos móviles de gama alta.El futuro de los teléfonos no está en ser más grandes ni más pequeños, sino más versátiles.  El Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold llega con promesa de globalización y un diseño que rompe las reglas.El mercado de los plegables entra en su fase más competitiva.Si te interesa la tecnología móvil y su futuro, escucha y comenta este episodio en Flash Diario.  Samsung lanzará el Galaxy Z TriFold, su primer teléfono de tres pliegues.Ahora sí podría venderse en todo el mundo.  

#Windows10 #Windows11 #PCUpgrade #YourTechReport #MicroCenter Windows 10 support ends October 14. Dan Ackerman (Editor-in-Chief, Micro Center News) joins Your Tech Report to explain what end of updates means, why Windows 11 adoption lagged, hardware requirements, the ESU “snooze” option, and why desktops and DIY builds are surging again. Windows 10 has been the comfortable default for a decade, but support is ending. Dan Ackerman outlines what changes after October 14: no ongoing feature updates and only limited coverage for users who enroll in Microsoft's extended service option. He explains why people stuck with Windows 10—stability, habit, and early Windows 11 friction—and how hardware requirements like TPM factored in. For most systems from the last five to six years, a Windows 11 upgrade should be straightforward. Older machines may struggle, especially laptops, whereas desktops can be refreshed with parts. Dan notes a shift toward desktops for customization, gaming, and local AI—where big GPUs, abundant RAM, and ample storage shine. He also touches on the ESU route as a temporary bridge for consumers and businesses who need more time. Looking ahead, Dan is excited about next-gen handheld gaming PCs (including a Lenovo Legion Go 2 with OLED and Ryzen “Xtreme Z2”) and broader holiday PC interest.

On this week's show we take a look at the Longevity Burn-In Test Results From 100 TVs that RTINGS.com has been tracking for the last two years. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: I spent three months with Telly, the free TV that's always showing ads Ring announces 4K doorbell with Alexa+ AI greetings and new Search Party feature for pets 33 Years Ago Today Cartoon Network Premieres: A Milestone in Animation History NBCUniversal Shuts Down Its Cable Network Apps on Roku TVs & Roku Players To Promote Peacock Other: Is Google TV's New Interface Better? Full Redesign Review Sports on TV Today: Where to Watch or Stream Games - Sports Media Watch Longevity Burn-In Test Updates And Results From 100 TVs RTINGS.com has been conducting an accelerated longevity test for over two years. We've covered it periodically but haven't provided an update recently. In today's show, we'll summarize the key findings and discuss their implications for consumers. 1. Introduction to the Test Methodology and Purpose RTINGS.com conducts an extensive longevity and burn-in test on over 100 TVs to assess their durability under real-world usage conditions. The purpose is to evaluate how modern displays, particularly OLED and LED models, hold up over time, focusing on issues like image retention and permanent burn-in that can degrade picture quality. The methodology involves running TVs for thousands of hours in a simulated accelerated aging scenario, including static content like CNN tickers, sports scores, and video games to mimic common usage patterns that risk burn-in. Tests are performed in a controlled environment at 50% brightness (except for high-end OLEDs at 100% for stress testing), with periodic photo documentation and measurements of uniformity, color accuracy, and brightness retention. This ongoing project, started in 2019, aims to provide data-driven insights into TV lifespan beyond short-term reviews. 2. Key Results and Findings The test has yielded detailed observations on burn-in susceptibility across various TV brands and panel types, with over 18,000 hours of cumulative runtime as of the latest update. Here's an expanded breakdown: OLED Performance and Burn-In Incidence: OLED TVs, known for perfect blacks but vulnerable to burn-in from static elements, showed mixed results. The LG C8 (2018 model) exhibited permanent burn-in after just 8,850 hours, with visible CNN ticker ghosts in dark scenes, marking it as one of the earliest failures. In contrast, the LG G4 (2024) and Sony A95L (2023) QD-OLEDs remained burn-in free after 5,000+ hours, though minor temporary image retention appeared in high-stress tests. The Samsung S95B QD-OLED burned in after 9,000 hours, displaying HUD elements from racing games, while the LG G2 showed no permanent damage after 14,000 hours but had noticeable retention. LED and Mini-LED Durability: LED TVs generally fared better against burn-in. The TCL QM8 QLED (2023) and Hisense U8/U8N (2024) showed no burn-in after 5,000–7,000 hours, with only temporary retention in extreme cases. However, the Samsung QN90A (2021) developed subtle uniformity issues after 10,000 hours, but no true burn-in. Budget LEDs like the Hisense A6G lasted without issues up to 12,000 hours. Brightness and Color Degradation: Across all panels, brightness dropped by 20–50% over 10,000+ hours; for example, the LG CX lost 40% peak brightness. Color accuracy shifted slightly, with OLEDs maintaining better DeltaE scores (

Description:This week on America on the Road, we get behind the wheel of two standout SUVs—one that screams luxury, and another that leans into green. Host Jack Nerad road tests the 2026 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige, a twin-turbocharged powerhouse wrapped in premium materials and loaded with high-end tech. Co-host Chris Teague takes a first drive in the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid, as the rugged favorite evolves with electrification while staying true to its roots. Our special guest is Kathleen Rizk, Senior Director of User Experience Benchmarking and Technology at J.D. Power, who joins Jack to discuss how drivers are reacting to AI-powered features in modern vehicles. Are consumers onboard—or overwhelmed?

John is joined by Quinn Emanuel partners Dave Nelson and Alex Lasher.  They discuss the landmark victory Dave and Alex's team won for Samsung Display before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in a trade secrets case against Chinese competitor, BOE Technology Group.  The ITC is an independent quasi-judicial agency of the federal government that, among other duties, adjudicates claims regarding unfair trade practices, including intellectual property infringement.  Monetary damages are not available in ITC proceedings.  However, the ITC can provide powerful injunctive relief by issuing exclusion orders that stop all infringing products from entering the U.S. at the border.  These exclusion orders make the ITC a strategic venue for intellectual property disputes involving imported goods.  Although trade secret cases at the ITC are not new, they have become more prominent in the last decade. The ITC process differs significantly from federal court litigation.  Proceedings are accelerated and are led by an administrative law judge and a third-party staff attorney who acts as a neutral participant.  ITC staff may conduct discovery, cross-examine witnesses, and submit their own briefs, making trial preparation especially complex.  There are no juries. This case involved accusations that BOE misappropriated dozens of trade secrets related to OLED display technologies used in phones, TVs, and micro displays.  BOE used these stolen trade secrets to manufacture competing products and import them into the U.S. for several years. Discovery in the case was complicated by both the legal obstacles to taking discovery of a Chinese company and language barriers, with Samsung's internal documents largely in Korean and BOE's in Chinese.  The team faced additional challenges defining the trade secrets at issue with sufficient specificity early in the case—a prerequisite for discovery.  Another major hurdle was proving that Samsung maintained a “domestic industry” in the U.S. worthy of protection under ITC rules—a jurisdictional requirement. Despite these difficulties, the administrative law judge issued a 15-year exclusion order covering all BOE OLED display products, effectively barring them from the U.S. market.  The team's trial efforts were bolstered by a pre-trial sanctions order against BOE for discovery misconduct.  The case demonstrates how IP litigation at the ITC can create enormous commercial leverage and underscores the critical role expert testimony and meticulous trial preparation play in high-stakes trade secret disputes. Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

La adopción de la interfaz Liquid Glass en macOS Tahoe, que para nosotros muestra una transición con algunos puntos de fricción y una falta de actualización en aplicaciones propias de Apple como iWork y demás. Debatimos si esto se debe a una falta de recursos o a la burocracia interna de la compañía. El tema más destacado fue el rumor, surgido de Min-Chi Kuo, sobre la inminente llegada de Macs con pantallas táctiles a finales de 2026. Comentamos si esto sería una funcionalidad táctil básica o un cambio más profundo en el sistema operativo, considerando las expectativas de los usuarios y la experiencia previa con productos como la Touch Bar.En cuanto a otros productos de Apple, revisamos las primeras impresiones y las preventas del iPhone 17. Observamos un buen rendimiento general, especialmente para los modelos Pro y Pro Max, con operadores ofreciendo promociones agresivas. Sin embargo, señalamos que las preventas del iPhone Air en España no estaban siendo tan prometedoras, aunque preveemos que podría ganar tracción durante el periodo navideño. Además, compartimos los resultados de una encuesta entre nuestros oyentes sobre la duración de la batería de sus AirPods, encontrando experiencias variadas, especialmente con los AirPods Pro de primera generación, y especulamos sobre factores como el volumen de uso.Finalmente, comentamos la ausencia de la función de traducción de los nuevos AirPods en la Unión Europea, atribuyéndola a una estrategia de Apple para evitar posibles problemas con la Ley de Mercados Digitales (DMA), más que a una prohibición explícita. También celebramos el éxito de Apple TV+ en los premios Emmy, donde "The Studio" obtuvo 22 galardones. Discutimos el desempeño de otras series de la plataforma como "Severance", "Chief of War" (mencionando una interesante anécdota histórica española en Hawái), y la tercera temporada de "Fundación".

OLED-Monitor kaufen oder doch lieber warten? Auf der IFA 2025 diskutieren Vera, Jakob und Dawid die Vor- und Nachteile von OLED-Screens - und ihre Zukunftsfähigkeit.

On this week's show we look at an article from What Hi-Fi titled “I just tested one of 2025's best small OLEDs – and it proves most companies are focusing on the wrong thing”. And that thing is brightness. We look at what would make a perfect TV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Major TV streaming service abruptly hikes prices 33% Everything you need to know about new ESPN streamer You Don't Actually Own That Movie You Just “Bought.” Brightness Isn't Everything We saw an article over at What Hi-Fi titled “I just tested one of 2025's best small OLEDs – and it proves most companies are focusing on the wrong thing” and thought there is a lot of truth to what the author is saying. So today will expand on this article with the HT Guys take.  The author argues that TV manufacturers like LG, Samsung, and Sony focus too much on making OLED TVs brighter to compete with Mini LED sets. After testing 2025's top small OLED TVs, he believes brightness isn't the key to a great viewing experience. Instead, authenticity, color accuracy, and balanced performance are more important for delivering a cinematic experience true to the director's vision. Here are six takeaways from the article: The Brightness Obsession: A Misguided Priority? The What Hi-Fi? article criticizes the TV industry's focus on maximizing brightness, which can harm picture quality. In tests comparing 48-inch OLEDs (LG C5, Samsung S90F, Panasonic Z90B), brighter screens often lost subtle details and immersion. For instance, in Dune: Part Two's desert scene, an overly bright TV turned nuanced red and orange dune shades into stark white, flattening the image. OLED TVs were historically dimmer than LED TVs, but new tech like Micro Lens Array and QD-OLED has boosted their brightness to 2000-3000 nits, closing the gap. However, the focus on brightness often overshadows OLED's strengths—precise light control, deep blacks, and vibrant colors. The What Hi-Fi? review notes that manufacturers prioritize specs over overall picture quality, while the Panasonic Z90B shows a better balance. The Panasonic Z90B: A Lesson in Balance The 48-inch Panasonic Z90B excels in cinematic authenticity, prioritizing accurate colors and contrast over exaggerated brightness. In Civil War, it delivers precise highlights in dark scenes, and in Oppenheimer, it maintains natural skin tones and subtle details in low light, outperforming competitors that lose color depth. Panasonic's approach aligns with what serious movie fans crave: a picture that immerses you in the story, not one that distracts with exaggerated brightness. The Z90B's ability to retain detail in both bright and dark scenes, like the sparkling desert dunes or the intricate chandelier in a White House scene, shows that controlled brightness—used only where needed—creates a more three-dimensional, authentic image. This echoes sentiments from TechRadar, which praises Panasonic's focus on “filmmaker-approved” accuracy over flashy specs, a philosophy rooted in the brand's collaboration with Hollywood colorists to tune its TVs for true-to-life visuals. The Small OLED Advantage: Why Size Matters Small OLEDs, like the 48-inch models tested, are often overlooked in a market obsessed with supersized screens. Yet, as What Hi-Fi? notes, these TVs are “severely underrated” for their versatility. They're ideal for space-constrained homes, secondary rooms like bedrooms, or even as high-end gaming monitors thanks to their dense pixel structure, which delivers sharper images. The LG C5, for instance, boasts four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K/144Hz gaming, making it a powerhouse for both movies and interactive entertainment. However, small OLEDs face unique challenges. Their denser pixel layouts generate more heat, which can limit brightness and risk burn-in if not managed properly. What Hi-Fi? suggests that adding heatsinks, as seen in some larger models, could unlock more brightness headroom for 42- and 48-inch sets without sacrificing quality. This could make small OLEDs even more competitive, offering flagship-level performance in compact packages. The Audio Achilles' Heel One glaring flaw across all tested OLEDs—LG C5, Samsung S90F, and even the Z90B—is their underwhelming built-in audio. The LG C5's 2.2-channel 40W speakers sounded flat and centralized, while the Samsung S90F's 2.1.2 60W system lacked power, allowing testers to hold conversations at max volume. What Hi-Fi? is blunt: for a true home cinema experience, a separate soundsystem is non-negotiable. We have been saying this for a number of years now, TVs, especially smaller ones, prioritize aesthetics over speaker space. What Manufacturers Should Learn The author tested 2025 OLED TVs and found that brightness isn't everything. LG and Samsung make great TVs like the C5 and S90F, but Panasonic's Z90B stands out by using brightness carefully to improve contrast and depth. Panasonic's Z95B flagship prioritizes performance over a super-slim design, a choice the author supports.  Afterall, a three-inch-thick TV is still about 90% thinner than our first rear projection HDTVs of the same screen size. What Hi-Fi? emphasizes that 48-inch models like the Z90B and C5 are “Goldilocks” options—cinematic yet practical for most homes. Manufacturers should invest in optimizing these sizes, incorporating technologies like heatsinks to boost performance and addressing audio shortcomings with better built-in solutions or seamless soundbar integration. The Future of OLED: A Balanced Approach Looking ahead, the TV landscape is evolving. Emerging technologies like PHOLED and “true” QLED promise even brighter, more vibrant displays without the burn-in risks of traditional OLEDs. But brightness alone won't win over cinephiles. The future of TVs lies in balancing these advancements with authenticity, ensuring that MicroLED or next-gen OLED panels prioritize cinematic immersion over raw specs. For now, the Panasonic Z90B sets a high bar. Its “as the director intended” philosophy proves that a TV doesn't need to be the brightest to be the best. If manufacturers shift their focus to color accuracy, controlled contrast, and practical features like better audio and small-screen optimization, they'll deliver what viewers truly want: a window into the filmmaker's vision, not a spotlight that blinds it.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through what to expect from the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3, and whether it's worth holding off on an upgrade until next year. The third-generation ‌Apple Watch SE‌ is rumored to feature a larger display (perhaps like the Apple Watch Series 7), the S11 chip, and potentially a plastic casing. It could also available at a slightly lower price point. The Apple Watch Series 11 will likely feature the S11 chip, 5G RedCap connectivity on cellular models, a "Sleep Score" feature, and potentially hypertension detection. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is rumored to also get all of these new features, as well as a slightly larger wide-angle OLED display with a faster refresh rate, and satellite connectivity. Earlier this week, internal Apple code revealed that the 2026 Apple Watch lineup is poised to get some major enhancements. The new devices will feature Touch ID for biometric authentication, a redesigned chip based on newer CPU technology for improved performance, a revamped design with a new rear sensor array, and more.

On this week's show we discuss the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Nielsen: Ad-supported content dominates TV viewing  NFL sells NFL Media, including RedZone, to ESPN New Fox One streaming service to launch in August Other: How to Increase Storage on Google Chromecast With Google TV Howdy Subscription | Ad-Free Streaming | The Roku Channel Sony Crowned King of TVs for the Seventh Year Running at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout For the seventh consecutive year, Sony has claimed the title of “King of TVs” at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout, held at their Scarsdale, New York showroom. The winning model, the Sony Bravia 8 II OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000, emerged victorious in a fiercely competitive field of flagship OLED TVs from LG, Samsung, and Panasonic. This annual event, now in its 21st year, is a benchmark for videophiles, retailers, and manufacturers, offering a no-nonsense, side-by-side comparison of the best TVs on the market.  The Value Electronics TV Shootout Founded in 2004 by Robert and Wendy Zohn, the Value Electronics TV Shootout has become well known for its rigorous and objective evaluation process. Each TV in the shootout is professionally calibrated and tested under identical conditions—same lighting, same content, and against professional-grade Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors, which are the gold standard for video professionals.  The TVs are judged on picture quality attributes like color accuracy, contrast, motion handling, and performance in both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR). This year's competition was exclusively dedicated to OLED TVs, with no separate category for LCDs, reflecting the industry's shift toward OLED's superior black levels and color reproduction. The 2025 lineup featured four flagship 65-inch OLED models: Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000 Samsung S95F QD-OLED (QN65S95F) $3300 Panasonic Z95B WOLED (TV65Z95BP) $2000 US Model is Z95A LG G5 WOLED (OLED65G5WUA) $2900 A panel of ISF-certified judges, including display and film production professionals, evaluated the TVs using a mix of Blu-ray movie clips and specialized test patterns, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities. Sony's Bravia 8 II QD-OLED won top honors for its exceptional SDR performance and consistency. Judges noted Sony's superior video processing, which delivered cleaner images and better upscaling than competitors. Kevin Miller, ISFTV president and display consultant, stated, “Sony's video processing is cleaner and handles upscaling better than Samsung's, despite both using the same quantum dot OLED panel.” This processing edge proved decisive. Panasonic's Z95B OLED marked its U.S. market return at the 2025 Shootout, narrowly winning the HDR category over Samsung's S95F by 0.01 points. Absent from the U.S. for years, Panasonic leveraged the event to showcase its OLED lineup, previously limited to Europe and Asia. Alex Fried, Panasonic's director of business development, emphasized the brand's renowned picture quality, saying, “It was great to be back in the shootout, reflecting Panasonic's legacy of top-tier performance.” Samsung's S95F QD-OLED came in a close second overall, splitting HDR category wins with Panasonic and performing strongly across the board. Its quantum dot OLED panel, shared with Sony, delivered impressive brightness and color volume, but it fell slightly short in SDR due to Sony's superior processing. LG's G5 WOLED, however, was a surprising disappointment, finishing last in both SDR and HDR categories. Despite LG's pioneering role in OLED technology and its use of RGB OLED panels from LG Display, the G5 struggled with color accuracy and EOTF (electro-optical transfer function) issues. Judge Chris Boylan, co-founder of Big Picture Big Sound, noted, “The LG was a little disappointing with some processing issues that lowered its overall scores in some categories. Some of these might actually be fixable with future software updates.” This outcome raised questions about LG's current standing in the OLED race, especially given its historical dominance in the category. Final Thoughts Sony's seventh straight “King of TVs” win at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout reaffirms its position as a leader in premium display technology, driven by superior video processing and consistent performance. However, the tight competition—especially Panasonic's HDR upset and Samsung's close second—shows that the gap between top-tier OLEDs is narrower than ever. For consumers, this means more choices and exceptional quality across the board. Whether you're a videophile chasing the ultimate picture or a casual viewer seeking a top-tier TV, the 2025 Shootout proves that OLED is the technology to beat, and Sony's Bravia 8 II is currently leading the pack. Note - Hisense and TCL were invited to the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout but chose not to participate.
