Looking for a high-quality portable Bluetooth speaker with the familiar JBL Flip design and new features? Theis the one you need! Released this April, the unit has received its first-ever discount at Walmart, saving you $20!Granted, that's a modest price cut on the device's $149.95 original price, but it's still worth it. How so? Well, the newer model packs extras like Auracast support, improved water and dust resistance, and a PushLock system that lets you easily attach it to your backpack. It sounds even better than the JBL Flip 6, too!Featuring an IP68 rating and a rugged design, this portable speaker is an excellent pick for outdoor gatherings. It also stands out with JBL AI Sound Boost support, delivering punchier bass and crisp highs.Not only that, but the JBL portable app provides impressive sound customization options. Aside from several EQ presets, the app offers a rather extensive seven-band customizable EQ so you can tailor the speaker to your taste.There's more—the JBLsupports lossless audio through USB-C. All you have to do is plug it into a compatible lossless audio source (such as a laptop), and you're all set!This bad boy has a pretty good battery life, too. With Playtime Boost enabled, the speaker lasts up to 16 hours—but note that this mode reduces low-end response, making it better suited for podcasts. Disable it, and you can enjoy slightly lower overall playtime (14 hours, to be exact), but you get a fuller sound.Overall, the JBLis a solid upgrade over the previous model. It's a bit pricier than the Flip 6 at its standard price, but now that you can get it for $20 off, it's definitely worth checking out. Get yours and save with Walmart's first-ever bargain on the latest JBL Flip model.

A subtle UI tweak in Android 16 hints at Google's next big AI push
Google is quietly rolling out two notable design changes as part of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2: a redesigned Pixel Launcher search bar and a new Gemini launch animation. Both features appear to be part of Google's ongoing effort to better integrate AI and streamline the visual experience across Android. The new Pixel Launcher search bar now looks more like the Search widget found in the Google app and Circle to Search. The previous layout, which featured a gradient "G" logo, a voice search mic, and a Google Lens shortcut, has been rearranged. These elements have been shifted to the left side of the bar, making space for a new circular AI Mode button on the right. This updated layout is housed within a pill-shaped container, giving the bar a more modern look. The new Pixel Launcher search bar. | Image credit — PhoneArena Users with Themed icons enabled will see the search bar adapt to Material You's Dynamic Color system, replacing the traditional four Google colors. However, the search bar itself remains static in functionality. In this beta, there is currently no way to remove or customize the color or transparency of the new design. It's important to note that this updated design is currently limited to users in the United States who have access to Google's Search AI Mode. Users outside the U.S. will still see the older, fuller version of the search bar, at least for now. Google is expected to bring the redesign to more regions as AI Mode becomes more widely available. In addition to the search bar changes, Google is also rolling out a new animation when launching Gemini via the power button. When users long-press the power button, the screen shrinks slightly with black borders appearing around the edges, before the Gemini overlay slides up and returns the screen to full size. This animation also brings back vibration feedback, which had been missing in some recent builds. Both the Pixel Launcher redesign and the Gemini animation are being released as server-side updates, meaning availability may vary depending on region, device, and user settings. Google has not yet shared when these changes will reach stable versions of Android. These small but noticeable updates continue to shape how Pixel users interact with AI features on their devices, suggesting more user-facing tweaks could be on the way as Android 16 continues to evolve. It's unclear if these will also show up on non-Pixel Android devices with the Google Search widget and Gemini installed, but it will interesting to see how these play with other Android skins such as OneUI. We will have to wait and see as Android 16 and Material 3 Expressive gets refined further. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

With iPhone 18, Apple will continue its streak of losing its identity
For as long as I can remember, the iPhone has remained a very recognizable device across the globe. Apple enjoys enviable fame, and whether you love it or hate it, any publicity is good publicity for the iPhone. And yet, with the iPhone 18, I feel that Apple will continue a trend that it's looking to start this year with the upcoming iPhone 17 series. Render of what the iPhone 17 Air will likely look like. | Image credit — Fpt. If you've been keeping up with the smartphone industry, you probably know that it's all but confirmed that the iPhone 17 Pro will feature an overhauled exterior. Both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the Pro models will come with a much larger camera island on the rear. It's expected that Apple will argue that this improves photography by moving the flash away from the sensors. Doesn't that design sound a little familiar? You only need to turn to the iPhone 17 Air to wonder whether that's an iPhone or a Google Pixel 9 instead. Yep, the iPhone 17 will forgo its enviable fame, settling instead for a new look that has seen mixed reception online since its initial leak.I've been on the fence about this change. On one hand, it's about time that the iPhone wore a new outfit. But on the other hand, this design will not nearly be as recognizable from a distance as the old one. The iPhone 17 will resemble the Pixel phones so closely that Apple is basically wasting the recognition it has it's continuing that trend with the iPhone 18 in 2026. The Dynamic Island will be no more on iPhone. | Image credit — PhoneArena We've had multiple reports in the past that the iPhone 18 will have a punch hole design for its displays. Now, a very reliable insider who's in touch with the supply chain has confirmed that this is true. The iPhone 18 will see Face ID moved under the display, and the front camera will be housed behind a punch hole. This is in preparation for the iPhone 20 — Apple will likely skip an iPhone 19 — for 2027, which will be the 20th anniversary of this iconic product. For that iPhone, the company reportedly wants to introduce an entirely new Pro model that is all glass on the front and sides. There will be no bezels and there will be no cutouts on the screen, as everything (including the camera) will be shifted under the as much as I cannot wait for that, the iPhone 18 is going to be a hard pass for anyone who cares about having a recognizable phone. The distinction between the iPhone and Pixel may not be so clear in 2026. | Image credit — PhoneArena The iPhone 18 will be a completely unrecognizable device from the front, and a confusing one on the back. If reports of a punch hole that is on one side of the screen are accurate, then the iPhone 18 will look like an outdated budget Android phone. Say what you will about the Dynamic Island, it was instantly recognizable. I, personally, really like what Apple did with it. As someone who's always hated notches and punch holes, the Dynamic Island took an annoying aspect of modern smartphones and did something clever with it. To revert to an outdated formula that does nothing special is…a a shame, too, because by the time the iPhone 18 comes out, Apple Intelligence may be a decent suite of AI tools. The iPhone 18 will also be the first Apple phone to use a 2 nm processor: the A20 chip. But with such an identity crisis going for it, I would much rather wait for its successor. Instead, if everything goes according to plan, then the mythical foldable iPhone will launch in 2026 as well. And that, to me, sounds like a much more unique purchase than the iPhone 18. If it doesn't cost both my kidneys, of course. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase This offer is not available in your area.

Did Apple just rip off Google's Pixel AI?
At WWDC 2025, Apple took the wraps off iOS 26 and its brand-new AI features. If you watched the keynote with even one eye on what Google's been doing with Pixel phones and Gemini, you probably had the same reaction I did: 'Wait… haven't I seen this all before?' Let's take a quick look: Live Voicemail — Google Pixel's 'Call Screening' When you are getting a call from an unknown number, the AI assistant will pick up for you and ask the person the purpose for calling. Their answer is relayed to you, in real time, via a text that shows up on screen. So, you can decide whether to answer or not. Pixel's Call Screening was introduced in 2018 with Pixel 3. Personal Voice Assistant on Calls — Pixel's 'Hold for Me' When calling a support line that puts you on hold, you can set your phone down. The AI will identify when an actual person answers your call and will notify you via ringtone. First introduced on Pixel 5 in 202, as 'Hold for me'. Visual Look Up — launched with Samsung and Google phones as 'Circle to Search' Takes a screenshot of the screen and you can tap or circle objects to perform an image search (to find a product that you really like in a video, for example, or look up details through an event poster). Introduced in early 2024, first with the Galaxy S24 series, then the Pixel 8 phones. As it says on the tin, Live Translation will translate between different languages right within a call. Both parties will hear the translator voice, so they know what is being said, when the sentence is over, when to expect a reply back. First introduced by Samsung in 2024 with the Galaxy S24 series, then announced by Google at I/O 2025. Quite honestly, the tech is still a bit clunky and not quite there — I am curious to see if Apple manages to add some polish to it. Thankfully, there is a twist — it's all about how it worksWhere Apple is leaning in is privacy and on-device processing. The pitch is clear: most of these AI features will run locally on your iPhone (assuming you've got an A17 Pro or newer chip), powered by Apple's so-called 'Private Cloud Compute' when off-device work is what's the difference?Apple's Private Cloud Compute only sends data to servers when needed, and even then, the servers don't retain any personal information. Apple also promised open verifiability — meaning, in theory, security researchers will be able to audit how this system Gemini/Assistant is primarily cloud-based. This is because Google does want to bring most of its AI features to all of Android, which means it just can't rely on hardware. We all know how many flavors of Android phones there are out there. Some tasks do run locally, but for full-featured Gemini, your data often goes to Google servers. Yes, Google promises strong privacy protections, but historically it's a more data-hungry model (because that's Google's business model).At the end of the day, though — from a user experience point of view — Apple is now shipping the same features that Pixel owners have enjoyed for years. If you're a die-hard iPhone user, it's great to finally get these tools. If you've been on a Pixel, you're probably thinking: 'Welcome to 2023, Apple.' Me? I'm just happy we are all getting cool stuff. As mentioned above, Apple's big advantage is integration — these AI features are coming to all iPhones that support iOS 26 (with some limitations on older chips), so you will feel a certain level of polish across the ecosystem, whereas Android has that inherent unpredictability that's tied to multiple manufacturers having their own spin on hardware. Not exactly. If anything, I think it became perfectly clear (as if it wasn't already) that Google is well ahead in the AI game when it comes to useful smartphone tools and implementation. But this does mark the start of a new phase: Apple went back to doing things that others have already done, but with a distinct Apple shine applied on top. If history teaches us anything, it's that Cupertino might use this solid base as a launching pad to make something truly unique and game-changing. At the very least, competition is about to heat up.
