Apple has some significant changes in mind for both future versions of the Apple Watch, and the software for existing recent models.


Amid rumors that future Apple Watch models could gain cameras and additional health sensors, a new report suggests that software changes are also on the way.

A new report from Bloomberg suggests that the Apple Watch won't be gaining Apple Intelligence on its hardware directly. However, watchOS 12 will be able to display results from the technology that is powered on a user's other devices.

The fabled Apple Glass continues to be in development, with augmented reality glasses still a top priority for CEO Tim Cook to produce.


Headset initiatives like the Apple Vision Pro are a gradual step towards smaller, lighter smart glasses that provide augmented reality experiences to the user. This future concept is rumored to be in development at Apple, under the name of Apple Glass.

While the Apple Vision Pro has had a relatively shaky start, CEO Tim Cook is still very much interested in producing Apple Glass. He's wanted the product to be created for over a decade.

Apple's iPadOS 19 at WWDC is rumored to be a more macOS-like update, with boosts to multitasking and productivity potentially making the tablet even more of a workhorse.


As a format, the iPad doesn't easily lend itself to productivity, outside of art and design. Even with the addition of a keyboard to the mix, it's not quite a full replacement for a MacBook Pro, but it could get closer with some tweaks at WWDC.

According to Mark Gurman in Sunday's Bloomberg newsletter, Apple's changes to iPadOS 19 will involve a shift to make the design of its operating system catalog more consistent.

While Apple may still be on the road to augmented reality glasses, a detour it is taking along the way is a future Apple Vision Pro that goes far beyond just mirroring a Mac's display.


Apple isn't abandoning the Apple Vision Pro concept, despite the repeated calls from naysayers to do so. In the lates Power On newsletter, author Mark Gurman details what he's been told Apple is working on, for one of Apple's follow-on units.

The report spits a very fine hair for what's going on with one of the units. A previous report said that Apple had stopped work on glasses that tethered to a Mac. Instead, it is working on a headset that directly connects to a Mac.

Since acquiring Activision, Fans have been hopeful that Xbox will look to bring back some long-lost IP. It would seem that Prototype could be first in line for such a revival. 

Prototype first released in 2009 and was followed by a sequel in 2012. The Prototype games follow the story of Alex Mercer, a human shapeshifter that can transform into anyone, or use his abilities to wreak havoc. Unfortunately, the games did not reach Activision's lofty sales goals and as a result, Prototype was put on ice.

Prototype made a brief return in 2015, when both original titles were ported to Xbox One and PS4, but this re-release did not end up leading to any kind of sequel.

As spotted by Insider Gaming, according to one redditor, a survey has begun doing the rounds, asking for input on Alex Mercer as a returning protagonist and the shapeshifting gameplay of the Prototype games. Unfortunately, there is no further information beyond this. If true, I imagine we'd be getting a Prototype reboot, rather than a sequel, as the original game is now over 15 years old.

KitGuru Says: Would you like to see Prototype return? Would you want to start fresh with a reboot, or jump right back into where things left off with Prototype 2?

With the main Destiny saga wrapping up last year, Bungie has spent much of 2024 and 2025 focused on its next game – Marathon. A reboot of a classic 90s Sci-Fi shooter, Marathon (2025) is a PvP multiplayer focused title, releasing in September. 

Marathon was officially revealed to the world yesterday with a deep dive gameplay trailer. In my opinion, the game looks too much ‘like Destiny' and I believe some casual fans will end up confusing the games for being set in the same universe. Whether or not this is by design remains to be seen but so far, Bungie has offered no suggestion that Destiny and Marathon are somehow narratively linked.

Marathon will put players in the shoes of a ‘runner', a person that has given up their human form to obtain supernatural abilities. Players will be popped onto maps either as solo runners, or in squads and then the goal from there is to loot as much as you can and escape the map alive, without being shot down and looted by an enemy squad.

The game releases for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles on the 23rd of September. Alpha testing begins soon, so if you want to try the game out early, you can sign-up to participate in the invite-only playtests. While Bungie has not yet announced a price tag for the game, they have confirmed it will be a “premium title” but not a “full priced title”. With that in mind, it is likely to be priced similarly to last year's Concord, which sold for $40.

KitGuru Says: As much as I want Bungie to succeed and return to its glory days, from what I've seen so far, I don't think Marathon is going to be the game to make that happen.

The fourth season of the workplace comedy "Mythic Quest" will be its last, with a revised version of the series' final episode to debut in mid-April, and feature a new ending.


The show originally debuted in February 2020, with the fourth season finale having aired on March 26, 2025. The cancellation was apparently revealed to the cast and crew sometime after the original season finale was completed.

"Endings are hard, but after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close," the show's executive producers — including star Rob McElhenny - told industry paper Variety. "Because endings are hard, with Apple's blessing we made one final update to our last episode — so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over."

In a surprise announcement extremely late on Friday night, President Trump has exempted smart phones, computers, and chips from the so-called reciprocal tariffs, sparing Apple and others billions in import fees.


The exclusions published near midnight eastern time grant exemptions to products that would take years to develop in the US. Apple is greatly helped by the exemptions, with much of Apple's product line now exempt from the 145% tariff applied.

Almost the entirety of Apple's product line is now exempt from the enhanced tariffs. Computers, smartphones, monitors, flash memory, DRAM, and other storage like hard drives are exempt for the time being.

ColorWare's new custom-painted Apple Pencil Pro is as close as you can get to using actual crayons on an iPad, and it's sure to bring back some fond memories.


ColorWare, known for offering customized Apple accessories such as painted AirPods, unveiled a modified version of the Apple Pencil Pro that's meant to resemble a crayon. Dubbed the "Apple Crayon Pro," ColorWare's latest special edition design is available in seven vibrant colors — black, mint, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow.

The company's limited edition product retains all the functionality of the standard Apple Pencil Pro, only in a new design that undoubtedly evokes nostalgia. The "Apple Crayon Pro" accurately imitates the wrapper of genuine crayons, and it even features a colored tip to match. If it wasn't for the word "Crayon" on the side, you might almost think it's an actual Crayola product.

Apple's share price is continuing to ride the tariff rollercoaster, with it finishing strong on Friday after a week of turmoil.


This week has been a tough one for Apple investors, due to the continued alterations to how the United States applies tariffs against imports from other countries. The stock market doesn't do well with uncertainty, and the various changes dictated by President Trump certainly introduced some.

After Thursday's return to a slump, Apple ended that day on $190.42, with pre-market movements resulting in Apple opening at $186.10. While the stock did go down a little to $186.06 early on, it rapidly climbed and reached a high of $199.54 during the day, and ended the session at $198.15.

Steve Jobs' personality led to some interesting events during his time at Pixar, including firing board of directors members for failing to disagree with him.


The managerial style of Steve Jobs can be described by some as abrasive, and strong-willed by others, during his time at Apple. It's also something that was apparent during his time at Pixar, with stories from Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios, which had Steve as a majority shareholder.

In an interview about Jobs for the Steve Jobs Archive released on Friday, Catmull and guests discussed the Apple co-founder's managerial style.

The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 TUF OC is a premium custom-design version of NVIDIA's second-strongest card. It comes with a big quad-slot, triple-fan cooling solution that runs extremely quiet when the quiet BIOS is activated. You also get a second HDMI output and a factory overclock.

Thermaltake has introduced a revised version of its Steel Shadow Tough liquid cooler series in Europe, featuring subtle but significant changes. In Europe, the new series will be named LA(S) and available with 240mm and 360mm radiators.

As noted by Cowcotland, the core design, including the large, magnetically attached top panel for easy installation, appears to be the same. However, the fans have received a noticeable upgrade, operating within a speed range of 600 RPM to 2500 RPM and delivering 79.3 CFM airflow and 3.45 mmH2O static pressure. Moreover, the fans incorporate a daisy-chaining mechanism that simplifies PWM and RGB connection.

The most significant difference between the LA (240 and 360) and the LA-S (240 and 360) AIO liquid coolers is the display on the latter. While the LA series has a water block cover with the Thermaltake logo and lighting, the LA-S uses a 2.4-inch display with CPU metrics.

The Thermaltake LA series starts at €74.90 for the LA240 model and increases to €84.90 for the LA360. As for the LA-S series, the LA240-S model goes for €84.90 and the LA360-S model for €94.90.

KitGuru says: Considering their feature set, the new Thermaltake AIO CPU coolers sure look cheap. Would you go for the LA or the LA-S AIO liquid coolers?

The Apple Vision Pro is over a year old, but there are already rumors about an Apple Vision Pro 2 headset. Here's what's rumored to be coming, perhaps as soon as April 2026.


Following the release of the Apple Vision Pro in February 2024, the head-mounted device has struggled to really take off. At $3,500 for a first-generation device, it's also something that is perceived as high-priced.

It costs as much as a high-end Mac, but without necessarily providing as much utility.

If Apple isn't able to get its Siri improvements out with iOS 19 in the fall, a new report tries to put the blame on early cost-cutting decisions by CFO Luca Maestri.


First it was that Apple is years behind the rest of the industry in AI, then it was that Apple management can't cope. Now according to the New York Times, the reason Apple Intelligence is failing is because Apple was too miserly to spend some cash years ago.

Specifically, the claim is that in 2023, the then-chief financial officer Luca Maestri halved a budget that engineers had wanted for buying GPU processors for AI development work. It doesn't matter that Apple is often the most highly valued firm in the world, you don't get to be CFO of it if you're not in absolute control of spending.

Back in August, we received the first teaser trailer for the next Mafia game. Rather than a sequel, we are getting Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel that explores the origins of the Mafia families. Last night, an update to the game's Steam Store listing revealed that the game will become available one-year on from its initial reveal.

Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel, set years before the events of the first game. This is essentially an origin story, set in 1900s Sicily, presenting a gritty mob story during an era that was particularly dangerous and unforgiving for those involved.

Mafia: The Old Country will become available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S starting on the 8th of August, roughly one year on from the game's original announcement.

All eyes are on publisher Take-Two and its subsidiaries this year. Take-Two owns 2K Games, which is publishing Mafia. With the game arriving in August, it seems likely that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be coming in the October-November timeframe.

Sharkoon has expanded its Skiller headset lineup with two new offerings: the SGH20 USB and the SGH25. Both headsets aim to provide immersive audio and comfortable wear, catering to different user needs and budgets, even if both are still entry-level.

The Skiller SGH20 USB headset presents a design with dynamically changing RGB lighting. The headset uses 50mm drivers and connects via USB for a straightforward setup with PCs. For extended gaming sessions, the SGH20 has soft synthetic leather ear cushions designed to seal around the ears, while the cushioned headband aims to distribute weight evenly. The flexible microphone can be easily positioned for clear voice transmission.

Priced higher, the Skiller SGH25 offers a different set of features. It also uses 50mm drivers and a USB connection, but instead of synthetic leather, it uses cloth for the ear cushions. As such, it remains comfortable even in warmer environments. Moreover, the SGH25 features an inline controller integrated into the cable, providing volume and microphone control, and circumaural earcups to isolate noise and provide a snug fit. The adjustable headband is designed to adapt to various head sizes and shapes. Another extra of the SGH25 over the SGH20 is the detachable microphone.

The Skiller SGH20 is priced at €19.90, while the Skiller SGH25 is positioned as a more budget-friendly option, costing €19.99.

TeamGroup is adding to its T-Force DDR5 memory line-up this week with the new XTREEM CKD ARGB DDR5 and T-FORCE DELTA CKD RGB DDR5 memory kits. CKD series memory modules are fully compatible with Intel Core Ultra and Intel 800 series platforms, ensuring system stability during high-load operations.

The T-FORCE XTREEM CKD ARGB DDR5 features a 2mm premium aluminum alloy heat sink, crafted through aluminum extrusion, CNC machining, and a sandblasted black finish. On top you'll find a two-piece light pipe with translucent multilayered optical design. In contrast, the T-FORCE DELTA CKD RGB DDR5 draws inspiration from stealth fighter jets, featuring a 120° angle RGB lighting design paired with sleek geometric contours.

Both memory modules support Intel XMP 3.0 one-click overclocking technology, enabling users to unlock peak performance without complex configurations.

The T-Force Delta CKD memory modules are available with speeds up to 8800MHz, while the T-Force XTREEM CKD memory modules are available at up to 8400MHz.

When the RTX 5070 first launched in the UK, it held a £539 MSRP. Now, we are starting to see RTX 5070 drop below MSRP for the first time in the UK. We are also starting to see RTX 5080 pricing settle at under the £1000 mark. 

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Python III is currently on sale for £518.99 in the UK, putting it around £20 below the launch MSRP price. The RTX 5070 is a solid GPU for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but inflated launch prices hampered opinions a bit. Getting one below MSRP improves things from a price to performance standpoint, particularly for anyone who skipped RTX 40.

For those after something a bit faster, the Palit RTX 5080 Gaming Pro is currently at its cheapest price. We reviewed the card at launch and at the time, it cost over £1100. Now a few months on, it is available and in stock for £999.95.

France is bringing identity cards to the iPhone this summer, with the country moving to embrace digital identity cards while U.S. adoption moves at a glacial pace.


Identity cards are a well-known tool in France, as an alternate to passports and driving licenses. Approximately 25 million people use them in the country as a form of government identity, without necessarily needing the other official documents in their lives.

Now, the French government is preparing to make the digital version of the identity cards available via the iPhone. Spotted by Consomac, France Identite confirmed via X that the ID card will be going digital, and will be available on mobile devices soon.

Following months of negotiations and then weeks of red tape, Apple is now once more allowed to sell the iPhone 16 range in Indonesia — including selling the iPhone 16e there for the first time.


The Indonesian government officially agreed to end its ban on sales of the iPhone 16 on March 7, 2025. But it has taken from then until April 11 for Apple to gain the very many country-specific certificates and regulatory permissions to actually put the phones back on sale.

The Indonesian Apple Store site just lists the devices as available and makes no mention of them ever having been banned. But Senior Vice President Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak took to Twitter to mark the occasion.

Apple's Pages never gets the praise it should, but it's especially unfairly ignored on the iPad where in truth it is an exceptionally easy to use pro writing app.


Whether it's on the Mac or the iPad, you shouldn't be using Pages to make notes. That would be like using a Lear Jet to get you to the end of your drive.

Only, if the Mac version hides away its features, the iPad one arguably likes to force you to dig even further for what you need. It's the same idea of not getting in the way of your writing, but keeping Pages simple while you work by touch sometimes means features are several taps away.

Over the course of the Switch’s life cycle, Nintendo ported pretty much every single Wii U exclusive to the console, offering enhanced resolutions and sometimes additional content. One of the few games to never see such a remaster was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Despite the fact that the GameCube version of Wind Waker is coming to Switch 2 through NSO, the company claimed that a more comprehensive port could happen in future.

Following the confirmation that Wind Waker would be coming to Switch 2 through the system’s new Nintendo Switch Online GameCube emulator, many fans were left fearing that the well-received Wii U port of ‘Wind Waker HD’ would be ignored as a result.

In an interview conducted by Kinda Funny’s Tim Getty towards Nintendo of America's senior vice-president of product development [Nate Bihldorff], it was revealed that Wind Waker HD could still come to Switch 2, with Getty later stating:

“I did ask if having The Wind Waker on Nintendo Switch Online precludes it from the Switch 2 getting the actual Wii U port at some point, and he was very quick to say ‘no, all options are on the table.'”

Of course, Wind Waker HD coming to Switch 2 could be a monkey’s paw situation at this point, given the current pricing strategies for Nintendo’s ports. Still, Wind Waker HD was an excellent title, and so it (and Twilight Princes HD) deserve to be deshackled from the Wii U’s dying grasp.

With Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us mere days away, buzz surrounding the upcoming series has begun to bubble up. Ahead of this, one insider has shared just how much the success of the first Season impacted game sales.

Back when Season 1 of HBO’s The Last of Us first dropped, we received some indication as to the synergistic impact of the show on its videogame sales performance.

Though a rather slim section of the market, it was reported at the time that the UK boxed sales for The Last of Us Part I spiked by 238% following Season 1’s premiere.

Ahead of the second season, we’ve now gotten much more comprehensive statistics, with Christopher Dring of The Game Business revealing that Season 1 resulted in two particular spikes in sales – after the season premiere (38%) and during the finale (75%).

Even amongst those who already owned the games (or perhaps had access through PS Plus), monthly active players skyrocketed – going as high as a 1000% month-over-month increase for TLOU Remastered; 440% for TLOU Part II and 347% for the PS5 console exclusive Part I Remake.

With Season 2 just a couple days away, it will be interesting to see how the game sales are impacted this time round – and whether Part II will see the highest bump.

Since its initial release back in 2022, Vampire Survivors has continued to thrive through the consistent release of DLC – both free and paid. Available right now, the free Emerald Diorama update has gone live; featuring a dozen new characters, weapons and much more.

Making the announcement on Steam, the team at Poncle officially unveiled the Emerald Diorama DLC. Available right now, this expansion is made in collaboration with Square Enix’s SaGa RPG franchise and features 12 new characters; 16 weapons; 9 music tracks; character parties and the new World-Weaving Stage.

Beyond this, the game has also gotten a more general update. Named The Coop, this introduces a new relic which allows you to speed up the game alongside two brand new Adventures (with 6 chapters each); a new stage; character; weapon and more.

Last but not least, Vampire Survivors has finally gotten full cross-save support, allowing you to seamlessly play between PC, Xbox, Android and iOS. Unfortunately, Switch owners will have to wait a bit, and PlayStation players may be left out of cross-save entirely. Poncle’s full statement on the matter can be found HERE.

Regardless, this represents a massive update for Vampire Survivors, especially given the fact that every addition is pretty much free. Hopefully the cross-save situation on PS4/5 gets resolved as soon as possible.

After a brief respite on Wednesday, Apple's stock restarted its downward trajectory triggered by President Trump's accelerating tariff battle with China.


On Wednesday, Apple ended the day at $198.85, up 15.3% from Tuesday's closing level, after Trump announced a pause on tariffs. Just one day later, Thursday's end of trading saw the Apple stock return to its previous downward trend.

At the start of the session, early trading brought Apple's price down to 189.06, but that hit was short-lived as it shot up to $194.78 within an hour. At the time of closure, however, Apple's shares reached $190.42, down 4.24% from the start of the day.

Investment firm Morgan Stanley theorizes that Apple has long-term options to protect its iPhone 17 Pro prices from tariff hikes, including steering buyers to larger storage capacities, which have a greater profit margin.


Even though Trump has now paused many tariffs, and even though it's become possible that Apple will get an exemption, the company won't be betting on that. Doubtlessly Apple will take any exemption it can get, but it also knows Trump changes his mind on a whim, so it will be looking to long game.

That's the opinion of analysts at Morgan Stanley, in a new note to investors seen by AppleInsider. They even see a route through the tariff turbulence that could see it able to keep its iPhone prices at the same level as before.
