As part of this update, Copilot will provide more reliable and structured responses that are easier to scan, according to Microsoft.The redesign, which is rolling out across desktop and mobile devices, comes with a feature Microsoft calls “progressive disclosure.” That means Copilot will present you with tools and controls based on your prompt, instead of showing a bunch of options at once. You can now format your text directly inside Copilot’s upgraded prompt box as well, which will…
Apple is reportedly working on a new anti-theft feature that would automatically lock down an iPhone as soon as it’s grabbed from the owner’s hand. That’s according to a 9to5Mac report, which claims Apple is looking to expand its Stolen Device Protection feature. Currently, if the phone is looked, Stolen Device Protection adds an extra layer of security by enabling users to add a Security Delay when attempting to change Apple Account Passwords and other key biometric features. The anti-snatch tech could close the loophole of a thief grabbing your handset while it’s in use and unlocked. “In the event…
Motorola’s latest Razr Ultra proves that its flip foldable format has evolved to become more than just a nostalgic gimmick. I’d understand if you’re not interested in shelling out $1,499.99 for the 2026 model, but the similar 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra with 512GB of storage is a much more palatable $699.99 unlocked at Best Buy (was $1,299.99) in all colors, while just the green color is available at this price at Amazon. Those may not feel as luxurious in the hand as the 2026 model’s Alcantara finish, but it looks nearly identical and now costs hundreds less. The discount brings…

It’ll sill be accessed via the Power button or by requesting her…

Apple’s long-rumoured folding phone (aka the iPhone Ultra) has just taken another step towards reality – because the first third-party cases for it have already started showing up online. According to a report from French Apple site iPhoneSoft, accessory maker iFunSmart has begun listing protective cases for Apple’s unreleased foldable handset. And while accessory renders should always be taken with a generous dose of salt, these kinds of leaks do often end up surprisingly close to the final design. The designs line up closely with earlier dummy units shared by leaker Sonny Dickson back in April. The cases show a…
Nearly 10 years ago I reviewed my favorite Surface device. Microsoft hand-delivered its Surface Studio all-in-one PC to me, and I was hooked from the moment I switched it on. It had a beautiful floating touchscreen that you could push all the way down into a drawing board mode, making it unlike anything I had seen in the PC market. But like many other Surface devices, it no longer exists.Over the past few years, Microsoft has been steadily walking back from the experimental ethos that built the brand. The detachable Surface Book? Gone. The giant Surface Hub touchscreen displays? Gone.…

Like its rivals, the Vega is a real looker, clad in real wood veneer, with anodised aluminium, woven fabric grilles, and a large weighted volume wheel that looks…

Apple’s MacBook Neo might be the current budget laptop darling, but it won’t be for much longer if Qualcomm has anything to say about it. The chipmaker has just announced Snapdragon C, a new line of wallet-friendly silicon that’s purpose-built for entry level PCs and notebooks. As well as promising “responsive” performance and “all-day” battery life in a cool and quiet design, it’ll also have an AI-capable neural processing unit (NPU) – because Qualcomm’s shareholders would implode if the firm did anything that ignored the tech world’s favourite buzzword. The C in Snapdragon C even stands for Compute. The price…
