More Google Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a images leak
With these images, we can safely assume that Moonstone will be this year's 'hero' color for the upcoming Pixel lineup. It's definitely a grayish hue, but perhaps a tad more complex than you'd expect by just reading that.

The color matching between all these devices is interesting, and while the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are missing from this set of leaked images, previous leaks have shown the latter clad in Moonstone as well. The 'vanilla' Pixel 10 model interestingly loses out on the hero color train, which is a weird decision to say the least.

Then again, it's not the only one. While Google has finally given the entry-level non-a-series Pixel a telephoto camera, it's rumored to have made the other two cameras on the rear worse - perhaps as a way to ensure it doesn't really compete with the Pro despite having the same types of cameras included?
We don't know, but the Pixel 10 will definitely be the odd one out this year, unless there is also a surprise Moonstone colorway for it, that just hasn't been leaked yet. We'll let you know if we find out more before the Pixel 10 lineup's August 20 unveiling.

Verizon is sending an email that no customer wants to receive
Verizon has now confirmed what many had suspected: the company is pulling loyalty discounts. Verizon was known to offer loyalty discounts to convince people contemplating a switch to stay. The discounts typically ranged from $10 to $40 and were offered for up to a year, with the possibility of a year-end renewal. For some time, customers have been complaining that their discounts were being taken away out of the blue. It was later reported that those weren't isolated cases and the company was doing away with loyalty discounts. Verizon is allegedly now emailing customers impacted by this change. The company will begin removing discounts on September 1. An email from Verizon informing a customer that its killing a discount. | Image Credit - Reddit user FullNeedleworker2168 This looks like another attempt by the company to persuade customers on older plans to switch to a myPlan subscription. These customizable plans were announced in April and come with a three-year price lock, although it must be mentioned that taxes and other fees are not protected by the its email about the termination of the loyalty discount, Verizon has encouraged customers to switch to myPlan. That appears to be the company's new agenda. It previously raised prices on the old old 5G Get More and 5G Play More plans and recently stripped them of some free perks, while reminding customers that the freebies were still available with myPlan. Verizon is also hiking tablet plan rates. | Image Credit - Reddit user Vwmafia13 Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge and Regulatory Charge are potentially also going up. Customers have been taken aback by the increase in rates and removal of discounts, especially because it was only in June that Verizon made a big show of prioritizing customers. The company seems to be sending mixed signals, and we wouldn't be surprised if it continues its quarterly streak of losing customers. Verizon doesn't seem to care about losing postpaid customers who aren't willing to pay more, with the company's CEO, Hans Vestberg, saying that it wouldn't prioritize expanding the customer base over profitability. The company only wants to focus on what it calls "high-quality customers". Hans Vestberg, Verizon CEO, August 2025

EarFun Tune Pro wireless headphones review
The Tune Pro are the latest full-sized headphones from EarFun. The brand has gained popularity over the years for its good quality products despite the aggressive pricing. The Tune Pro are a pair of $70 headphones that pack in features such as ANC, dual-driver design, USB-C as well as aux wired input, up to a claimed 120 hours of battery life, and multi-point connectivity. Let's see how well they perform and if they are worth considering if you are in the market for full-sized wireless headphones. Design and comfort The EarFun Tune Pro are moderately large headphones with a circumaural design. The headphones have a primarily black and gray color scheme. This makes them very understated, ideal for those who don't like attracting attention. However, there is no other color option available, if you do, in fact, want to attract attention. The headphones use a semi-articulating design, with the ear cups being able to swivel towards you as well as fold inwards into the headband. However, the yokes don't have a lot of articulation, so you can't fold in both ear cups at the same time, which limits just how small you can make the headphones when folded in. The headband can be extended using a stepped sliding mechanism. The clicks when you slide the headband could have been more distinct, as some steps just slide silently, which doesn't feel particularly satisfactory. The overall build quality is good. Despite being made entirely out of plastic, the headphones feel sturdy and well-built, with a decent heft to them. Each cup has a set of physical controls on them; no touch-sensitive malarkey here. On the right edge are the power and volume buttons, which are also configured to control playback for tracks. On the left edge is the button for ANC. Each side also has a port for USB-C and aux-in. The ear cups have generous soft padding around the drivers. There is also a decent amount of padding applied to the headband. There is also a small amount of padding covering the speaker grills with clear L and R markings, which came in handy as the headphones don't have the most obvious asymmetry in design that lets you know with a quick glance which way they are facing. Coming to the comfort, I felt a bit let down by the EarFun Tune Pro. First of all, the ear cups are rather small, to the point where even my small ears felt boxed in from all sides. There is barely any width to the ear cups and those with larger ears would just find these ear cups sitting on their ears rather than around them. Secondly, the ear cups aren't especially deep, which can cause a small amount of pressure to be applied to the outer ear. Thirdly, the clamping force is a bit on the higher side. This isn't uncommon for noise cancelling headphones and can be taken care of by stretching the headphones out over a pile of books, for example, for a period of time till the headband stretches out a bit but this will come at the cost of potentially worse noise cancelling performance. The end result for me was that I couldn't wear the EarFun Tune Pro for long periods of time, and after about an hour or so I'd want to take them off. This is a shame as otherwise these could have been ideal for long flights where you don't bother taking the headphones off at all. Software and features The EarFun Tune Pro come with a companion app for Android and iOS. Here, you can adjust the ANC modes, the EQ profiles, and customize the controls, among other things. EarFun app The headphones offer three noise cancelling modes, along with a transparency or ambient mode. Among the three ANC modes, one is for use in windy conditions. These days we find most ANC earbuds and headphones automatically detect high winds and enable this feature, which essentially reduces the ANC effect to get rid of the buffeting from the wind. The Tune Pro can't do that automatically, so you will have to enable it manually from the app, which is only better than not having the feature at all. Audio settings The EarFun app has a comical number of EQ presets, 30, to be precise, along with a custom 10-band equalizer. There is also a Theater mode, which enables a 3D spatial audio effect but disables the equalizer. The My Sound Profile feature generates a custom frequency response based on a hearing test. Other settings As far as companion apps go, the EarFun app is very good and something bigger companies like Sony and Sennheiser could learn from. It has all the relevant features without being bloated and doesn't waste your time with inane setup and login screens. Performance Audio quality The EarFun Tune Pro have a dual-driver design, consisting of a 40mm + 10mm dynamic driver arrangement. The headphones support Bluetooth 5.4 with SBC and AAC codecs. Starting with the audio signature, the EarFun Tune Pro turned out to be quite interesting and different from what we have usually come to expect from products in this category. At its core, the frequency response is essentially v-shaped, which is very common. But what isn't common is the way EarFun has gone about it. Starting with the bass response, the Tune Pro has an elevated bass response. However, unlike what we usually see on other products in this segment, the bass shelf doesn't spill into the lower mid-range, and comes in lower in the frequency range. This has the upside of giving you that bass boost but without messing with the lower mids. The mids, as a result, are quite neutral in the low and mid-mids. Vocals have good timbre, with male voices, especially, sounding mostly how they should. Instruments like piano and guitar also have good tonality without an unnecessary warmth or rumble to them. Unfortunately, the EarFun Tune Pro have a rather anemic upper mid-range and lower treble response. The all-important pinna gain seems to be missing here, which causes upper mids to sound claustrophobic and congested. This affects the breathiness of vocals, for example, as well as the brighter instruments. The treble recovers in the upper registers, which is more fleshed out than the lower ranges. Still, the treble sounds a bit off-balance, with more energy in the S and T sounds and less in the lower notes. The result of this tuning is that while vocals inherently sound fine, they are quieter and somewhat further back in the mix. It makes you want to bump up the volume just to hear the voices better. Despite this shortcoming, the sound overall is a lot more balanced than what I have heard from wireless headphones, which are mostly bass cannons, with a muddy bottom-end and not much of a treble response to speak of. The EarFun Tune Pro, on the other hand, sound a lot better out of the box, and with just a little bit of EQing can get exponentially better. Tonality aside, the EarFun Tune Pro sound also had a good amount of detail in it. This is one aspect of wireless audio reviews that gets lost among the frequency response discussions as usually there is nothing to talk about. But the EarFun Tune Pro does manage to eke out a decent bit of detail in the sound, to the point where switching to wired mode didn't make a dramatic difference. Unfortunately, there isn't a particularly impressive soundstage to speak of. The Theater mode also doesn't help as some sounds just tend to sound more in your head than before. It does have better tonality though than the default tuning, with a more fleshed out upper mid-range. But you can't EQ this mode further so you're better off just using the EQ in standard mode with this feature turned off. Noise cancellation The EarFun Tune Pro have active noise cancellation. As you usually see with full-sized noise cancelling headphones, the ear cups and the padding do half the job, and that is also the case with these headphones. The overall noise cancellation performance is good. The headphones can suppress almost all of the ambient noise in typical home and office environments and can also be quite effective in more louder surroundings. It is not as good as more expensive ANC headphones that are pretty much only worth buying for their ANC but in most cases they get the job done. The ambient mode isn't as impressive. It seems to amplify higher frequency sounds more than sounds in the vocal range, so I can hear my own breathing more clearly than someone speaking in the vicinity. It's a matter of tuning and perhaps EarFun can tune this mode to work better for voices, as usually that's why you'd want to enable this mode. Latency The latency performance on the EarFun Tune Pro is good once you enable Game Mode. Without it, there is a very clear delay in your inputs and the sound you hear but with Game Mode enabled, the latency is almost negligible. Connectivity The EarFun Tune Pro had excellent wireless connectivity performance. There were no connection drops or any other funny business. The headphones also offer two other methods of connecting. You can plug in a USB-C cable into the headphones and use them as wired digital headphones. You get 24-bit/192kHz audio and all functionality, such as ANC and volume control is accessible. You can alternatively just plug in the provided 3.5mm auxiliary cable in. You need to have the headphones turned on to use this, so you can't use this if the battery has died. This means you get ANC but the physical buttons do not work. Both wired modes worked great, and the USB-C functionality was especially a fantastic feature to have considering headphones that cost more than twice as much often don't have it. It's also worth noting that EarFun's Hi-Res Audio claims only work in wired mode, as the wireless audio does not support any Hi-Res codecs. Battery life When it comes to battery life claims, EarFun swings for the fences, with a claimed 80 hour figure when used with ANC and 120 hours without ANC. You'd think there's no way these numbers would be accurate. But as I sat there day after day watching the headphones keep playing, I realized the numbers aren't just accurate but EarFun might actually be underselling them. In my testing with ANC enabled, the headphones played continuously for a staggering 111 hours. Why this number was closer to the ANC off figure than the ANC on figure, I do not know. For the sake of my sanity, I did not bother testing the ANC off figure but needless to say you never need to turn the ANC off on these headphones, at least not for battery consumption reasons. Even with the ANC enabled and roughly 4 hours of daily use, you can go for almost a full month without charging these headphones. Conclusion The EarFun Tune Pro are priced at $70 but can be had for a further discounted price of $52.5 at the time of writing. For the money, these are a very good set of headphones. My major gripe with them was that they weren't as comfortable for my ears as I'd like, especially for long hours of use. However, depending on your ears, this may or may not be an issue for you. Aside from that, there really isn't a lot to complain about. The sound quality is generally pretty good and can be made exceptional with minor tweaks. The headphones are built well and have a clean, easy to use app. The ANC performance is decent, and the digital and analog wired connectivity options make these headphones extremely versatile. And finally, there's the insane battery life. For the price, the EarFun Tune Pro are hard to beat and are highly recommended.

Apple executives are still denying the importance of AI's most used features
Apple has fallen behind in the AI race, but apparently its executives are still downplaying the importance of catching up. Industry insider Mark Gurman — in his newsletter Power On — says that the company's upper echelons are still skeptical about AI-powered chatbots that can carry out multiple is a prime example of such a chatbot. Sure, you can converse with it at length, but you can also get it to handle your documents, write code for you, or even generate a unique digital image. Hundreds of millions of people now rely on ChatGPT on a daily basis, which has led to OpenAI becoming one of the world's most prominent companies in a very short time. It's no secret that Apple's digital assistant, Siri, remains woefully incompetent compared to its rivals, like Google's Gemini. Apple is already using ChatGPT across its devices to handle most tasks that Siri is ill-equipped for. So, I am a bit baffled that some people at the company are still downplaying the importance of such a to Gurman, Apple executives claim that consumer interest in such a chatbot is limited, something that I think is easily disprovable just by looking at OpenAI's success. Furthermore, they apparently do not think that Apple's lack of an alternative to ChatGPT and Gemini is a sign of the company falling behind in the AI race. Apple promised a ton of AI features for the iPhone 16. | Image credit — Apple I, personally, disagree heavily. AI is here to stay, and it's only going to seep further into every aspect of our lives. As Gurman also points out, many people have become heavily dependent on AI models like GPT-4, and many more are using AI chatbots in lieu of traditional search engines. Samsung — arguably Apple's largest rival in the smartphone market Stateside — has also incorporated Google's Gemini into its phones. This has led to both the Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 phones providing a much richer AI experience than the iPhone 16. Apple is also spending tons of money to come up with a homegrown alternative, so the executives' remarks seem very odd to me. A while back, we came to find out why Apple lost the AI race, and a lot of it had to do with how executives at the company had approached Artificial Intelligence when it was first blowing up. The company really needs to move past that mindset, because its traditional playbook will not help it when it comes to AI. And, seeing how many future products will rely on it, Apple is only sabotaging its own success for the future of computing.
