OnePlus Brings 'Plus Key' On New Phones To Replace The Alert Slider: What Is It And How It Works
Last Updated: OnePlus 13s launch will also give us the first look at the new Plus Key that will be replacing the iconic Alert slider button. OnePlus has confirmed the details about the Plus Key which replaces the iconic Alert Slider on its upcoming phones, including the OnePlus 13s. The older button helped you switch between ring, vibrate and silent mode with a click but the Plus Key is a sign of how AI is going to become a bigger part of OnePlus future strategy. The company is going to use the iPhone-like model with the Plus Key which has features similar to the Action Button that Apple introduced a few years back. But the big play for OnePlus with the new Key is to help you organise, save and remember content based on your previous tasks. The Plus Key on the OnePlus 13s sits on top-left of the device and is a functional physical button with tactile feedback. By default, you can click on it to put the phone on Silent, Vibrate and Ring. But that's just the start. You can head over to Settings – Plus Key and really explore the varied nature of the button and how you can customise its use, more like a shortcut for one of the useful features. You can use it for the following: The Bigger, Private AI Play The Plus Key is getting a big leg up with the new OnePlus AI focus that promises personal intelligence. The company claims the data is processed on-device in most cases but in situations where the data has to be sent to the cloud server, OnePlus is adopting an Apple-like private computing system. The brand explained that highly sensitive light data will be processed on-device, but highly sensitive extensive data will be moved to the private computing cloud. These are some big changes from OnePlus, one that it feels aligns with the AI-focused approach that most brands are offering for the consumers. The OnePlus 13s will mark the debut of these features and the Plus Key with the OnePlus 15 flagship taking it a further notch higher later this year. First Published: May 28, 2025, 12:33 IST

Consumer AI Gadgets Will Come With a Whimper, Not a Bang
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Where are all the artificial intelligence consumer gadgets? Even a year ago, it seemed tech companies were working to incorporate the technology into every physical device, from coffee makers to vacuums, making 'AI-powered' hardware seem like it would soon be as ubiquitous as 'battery-powered' electronics. Typically, tech conferences offer a glimmer of these futuristic toys. Not all of them end up hitting the market, but it's where we can dream a little about new pocket devices or household robots taking on a greater role in our lives. You may be interested in So it was a little disappointing last week at Asia's biggest artificial intelligence conference, Taiwan's Computex, to find hardly any mentions of consumer-facing tech. Most keynotes focused on enterprise applications of AI, such as agents or automated manufacturing. Walking around the exhibitors' hall, the only thing that caught my eye were wireless computer mice shaped like cats. A few things seem to have changed. For starters, there's the reality that hardware engineering presents an entirely different set of physical challenges compared to tinkering with AI software. And a global trade war also makes it a risky time to launch a new gadget when it's unclear if consumers are interested. Companies also may be starting to pick up on the fact that while Wall Street is awash with global hype on the AI boom, it isn't exactly a selling point on Main Street. If anything, some of the executives speaking at the conference threw cold water on the next generations of these AI-first consumer products. Asustek Computer Inc. co-Chief Executive Officer Samson Hu told Bloomberg News that it will take another year or more for AI-powered PCs to go mainstream because the technology isn't quite there yet and macroeconomic uncertainty is impacting people's spending. There have been few compelling use cases for AI PCs so far, despite the mountain of promotion. Meanwhile, the graveyard of AI hardware that was supposed to transform our lives is already growing. The Humane Ai Pin wearable device — launched last year to much hype about how it was going to replace the smartphone — ended up receiving brutal reviews while being a fire hazard. The startup, run by two former Apple Inc. employees, stopped selling the Ai Pin earlier this year and was sold for parts. The Rabbit R1 assistant is another cautionary tale of the false promises of these gadgets. But that doesn't mean the future of AI consumer products isn't coming. OpenAI made the major announcement last week that it is working with legendary iPhone designer Jony Ive to launch something that takes AI into the physical realm for consumers. But even the might of OpenAI's technology and Ive's design prowess make whatever it is a far from certain bet. There were perhaps some lessons for the future of such devices from the gathering in Taiwan. During his keynote speech, Qualcomm Inc. Chief Executive Officer Cristiano Amon said that AI computers are at the phase where they will require the work of outside developers to make them appeal to consumers. The iPhone, for example, didn't take off immediately after it was launched. But it became essential to so many people because of the myriad apps developers built on top of it that we now use to hail taxis, order food or move around new cities. 'Really, the developer ecosystem is going to make this shift to AI PCs,' Amon said. He's right, and the same is true beyond just AI computers. For any revolutionary AI hardware device, and especially a smartphone killer, the more that global developers lead the charge to meet peoples' needs and solve small, everyday problems, the more likely they are to succeed. In this economy, maybe that doesn't mean repackaging the same old gadgets with shiny new AI labels. It means iterating and perfecting real use cases that incorporate the buzzy technology into devices and make our lives easier. And this will inevitably be a collective effort. AI is already transforming our world in small ways. I find asking ChatGPT to quickly translate phrases for me while on the go a lifesaver when navigating a new country. But I hardly want to shell out money to carry around a new device simply to access ChatGPT. The more the tech industry tries to slap AI onto everything and market it as a panacea for all our problems, the more I get a snake-oil salesman ick. The future of AI hardware won't come in a magical new gadget, it will be built by tackling these tasks one-by-one and not all at once.

Apple buys its first-ever video game studio; promises to deliver ‘great experience' for Arcade
has acquired RAC7, the two-person video game developer known for the Apple Arcade hit Sneaky Sasquatch. This marks the Cupertino-based tech giant's first-ever acquisition of a video game studio. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Apple has described this move as a unique situation, indicating a specific interest in RAC7's work. The studio's previous credits include indie titles Dark Echo and Splitter Critters. In 2019, RAC7 released Sneaky Sasquatch as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The adventure game emerged as a notable success among the service's launch titles and has received consistent updates since its release. With this acquisition, the RAC7 team will now continue its partnership with Apple as an internal studio, with Apple promising to deliver a "great experience for Apple Arcade." What Apple said about acquiring its first-ever video game studio In a statement to Digital Trends, an Apple spokesperson said: 'We love Sneaky Sasquatch and are excited that the 2-person RAC7 team has joined Apple to continue their work on it with us. We will continue to deliver a great experience for Apple Arcade players with hundreds of games from many of the best game developers in the world.' Apple's acquisition of indie studio RAC7 is not part of a broad new gaming strategy but rather a specific opportunity to expand Apple Arcade's offerings, the report claims. Apple plans to continue working with a range of third-party studios, both large and small, to develop games for the service. While the deal may seem unexpected to those not closely following Arcade, it fits within the platform's existing model. Earlier, Apple Arcade Senior Director Alex Rofman highlighted Sneaky Sasquatch as a standout title whose popularity extends to real-world events like birthday parties. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Since its launch in 2019, Arcade has relied on a select group of indie developers—such as RAC7, Lykke Studios, and Triband Games—to release new titles each month. Recent additions include a fresh Katamari Damacy entry, a sequel to Space Invaders: Infinity Gene, and Gears & Goo for Apple Vision Pro. Despite RAC7's purchase being an isolated case, it underscores Apple's ongoing support for its subscription gaming service .
