One of the most powerful JBL speakers is way cheaper—but only for an extremely limited time. We're talking, of course, about the Boombox 3, which is 32% off its original $499.95 asking price at Woot. That brings the big fella to only $339.95 and down to its best price of 2025.You have a very limited time window here, as we mentioned. Woot will only keep this sale until June 10 at 11:59 PM CT, but it could always sell out sooner. The unit ships with a 90-day Woot limited warranty, so keep that in mind.Don't fancy a portable Bluetooth speaker with such a warranty? Consider Walmart's offer then, but be prepared to cough up more. Right now, the model in Black sports a $122 discount, which may sound good enough to some users but is no match for Woot's incredible $160 price cut.Undeniably pricey, the Boombox 3 delivers a lot. With its big size and IP67 rating, it's an ideal pick for casual pool and beach parties with friends. The speaker is more than loud enough to keep people entertained for hours, too.Out of the box, the JBL unit is quite bass-heavy, delivering ideal audio for casual listening. That said, the thumping low end doesn't overpower the rest of the mix. On top of that, it gets extra loud, yet the sound doesn't distort at max volumes, which is always welcome. And if you're not all that into bass-heavy audio, the JBL Portable app offers EQ customizations to fine-tune it to your taste.With extras like Bluetooth Multipoint, a powerbank to charge your devices, and wired listening options, the JBL Boombox 3 easily outperforms many other large-sized speakers on the market. Its battery life is spot-on as well, and you can get up to 24 hours of nonstop music.Overall, the JBL Boombox 3 is a fantastic choice for music lovers seeking a loud and bold sound. Its original asking price might certainly put off some users, but at $160 off on Woot, it's a deal you wouldn't want to miss.

Helium Mobile, a T-Mobile MVNO, introduces a low-cost, worry-free plan for kids

We've already told you about Helium Mobile. The T-Mobile MVNO has a free 5G wireless plan that I use on my Pixel 6 Proso that it can become a useful smartphone again instead of having to rely on a Wi-Fi connection. Of course, Google's release of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1.1 has also helped to make the phone feel fresh and responsive. With Helium's Zero Plan, I pay nothing for 3GB of 5G data, 100 minutes of calls, 5GB of hotspot data, and 300 texts each month. Today, Helium announced a Kids Plan that it calls Sprout. Kids get their own wireless line for only $5 per month and their parents stay in control. Helium says that 51% of children eight and younger own a mobile device and Sprout is the wireless plan made for them. The plan requires that the child use a device he or she already owns. This is a brilliant move by Helium because, in a stressful situation, the child won't have to go fumbling to find a person's number and make a call or send an emergency text on a new device. -Coco Tang, General Manager of Helium Mobile Subscribers Switching to Helium is a snap with the MVNO's Concierge Service. Helium's agents will contact your previous carrier making it easy to switch. As Helium says, Concierge Service makes the transition to a new wireless provider "smooth and disruption-free." With Sprout, parents won't have to worry about their kids running wild through the internet. Parents can "manage the account, set boundaries, approve usage, and monitor data directly from their phones." And Helium points out that unlike its Zero Plan, which is available only to those 18 years of age and older, the kids are not included in the anonymized location data that Helium collects. Sprout includes: Nationwide 5G coverage from T-Mobile 's low-band 600MHz nationwide 5G network. 's low-band 600MHz nationwide 5G network. 3GB of data + unlimited talk and text allowing the kids to make calls and texts without worrying about going over a limit. Flexible family management – Parents or guardians have control over the account which allows them to place limits on data use. Upgrade anytime to other Helium plans such as Air (10GB for $15) or Infinity (unlimited data for $30). Both plans still give parents or guardians full control over the plan. Kids can earn Cloud Store rewards which can be turned into gift cards for top national brands. Of course, the parents have the last word over which cards their children can choose. Control comes through the Helium Mobile app available for iOS and Android. Helium Mobile introduces a plan made for kids. | Image credit-Helium Mobile Sprout is the perfect first plan for kids. If you have your child wield a smartphone for emergencies or to check in with you over the course of a day, Helium's Sprout plan, priced at $5 per month, could deliver the piece of mind you want at a price that makes this a no-brainer.

Samsung trolls Apple for announcing features that already exist on Samsung devices

Yesterday Apple held its big keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference, announcing iOS 26, watchOS 26, as well as some new AI features. Samsung's US arm couldn't help but throw shade at Apple, however, for features that already exist on Samsung devices. It all started with a dig regarding Apple's massive UI redesign across all of its operating systems. Customizable apps? Floating bars? That sleek glass UI? Looks… familiar 🤔 — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) June 9, 2025 Then, Samsung US moved on to live translations, which its devices have had "for a while now". New to live translations? Welcome aboard! We've been translating text and speech in real-time for a while now… #GalaxyAI — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) June 9, 2025 Finally, the AI features introduced for the Apple Watches didn't escape Samsung's trolling either, see for yourself: AI is coming to your watch? Cute. Ours already knows when you're too tired to care 😴 #GalaxyAI — Samsung Mobile US (@SamsungMobileUS) June 9, 2025 It's customary for smartphone makers to pick on each other like this - Apple sometimes does it too, but during its keynotes, not on X. That said, it's also normal for companies to be inspired by what their competitors are doing (with very few exceptions - Sony?), since they don't exist in a vacuum and the market is highly competitive. But at the end of the day, we're not ones to refuse having some fun.

Apple Watch Series 11 vs Series 10: expectations and what we know

Intro Every year, every 8,760 turns of the small hand of your watch, we get new models of Apple's popular smartwatches. One might argue that the wearables have long plateaued and there's little need for a new Series every 12 months. Apple seems to disagree. Whether Cupertino wants to keep the line fresh with new colors and finishes, or it's simply content with small step upgrades, Apple has shown us that it doesn't mind releasing a new Apple Watch every time there's a new iPhone coming out. We are now up to Series 10, and this September, we will no doubt get an Apple Watch Series 11. Most probably with a new chip, new colors, and in the familiar two sizes — 46 mm and 42 mm. So, what do we know so far, what do we expect, and will the Apple Watch Series 11 be a huge upgrade over the Series 10? Here we go: New 5G modem and S11 chip on Watch 11 High blood pressure detection on Watch 11 watchOS 26 with new looks to launch with Watch 11, but will come to Series 10, too Similar ~one-day battery life on either wearable Expanding Galaxy AI features to health features Table of Contents: Design and Sizes Bands Software Battery Models Voice and Haptics Specs Summary Would you believe it if we told you that there's very little information on the Apple Watch Series 11 out there right now? This could signify two possibilities. Either Apple is keeping things under very tight wraps... Or there isn't much to talk about. While the former is not improbable, it's pretty impossible in the year 2025. Everything has a penchant to leak, be it through supply chains or insider analysts with strong insider information. Something always comes out. But the Apple Watch Series 11 ? No mumblings thus far. So, our expectations for an updated look, or a circular shape are pretty much not there. At this point, we believe the design for the Apple Watch Series 11 will match the one of the Series 10, but with new colorways. Back before the Apple Watch Series 10 launched, there were rumors that Apple is planning a band latch redesign. Supposedly for reasons that would make it either sturdier or easier to switch bands. However, that change did not come to pass. Of course, once such rumor comes out, the fear of a redesign is ever-present. The one downside for users, if Apple were to change the latch, is that old Apple Watch bands may not fit the new design. Considering this is a lifestyle accessory, many people have amassed a serious collection of bands, so that'd be bad. But don't panic just yet — no word on a latch redesign has come down the grapevine right now. Software & Features The Apple Watch Series 11 ? Yep, it's on track to launch with watchOS 26 — not a typo, not a leap into the future. Apple's reportedly going all-in on a unified naming convention for its platforms, and that means jumping ahead to bring watchOS in sync with iOS, macOS, and the rest of the it's not just the number that's changing. At WWDC '25 we saw that watchOS 26 is coming with a fresh new look, borrowing heavily from the glassy, futuristic aesthetic of visionOS. Think translucency, depth, and that premium Apple polish we've seen creeping across platforms. It's a single Apple design language across all its platforms — watch, phone, Mac, headset… all speaking the same visual dialect. Health-wise, Series 11 is rumored to level up with a blood pressure monitoring feature—and it's not just about numbers. The system will reportedly ping you if it detects signs of hypertension, which could be a literal lifesaver. We didn't see anything about that in particular at WWDC, so Apple may be concealing a king in its hand. The Apple Watch Series 10 will get watchOS 26, of course, but we are not sure if it has the hardware needed for hypertension detection. Our guess would be no, but who knows — maybe Apple will surprise us. The last time Apple made a leap in the battery department of the Apple Watch was with the Series 7. Through incremental upgrades over the years, it had achieved a pretty good 18 hours of on time, which was cool, but the real big change was the introduction of fast charging, making it possible to top up the Apple Watch in less than an hour. Meaning, you can wear it through the night to track your sleep. Then, pluck it on a pad when doing your morning routine, and grab it just before you make that first cup of coffee — it should have enough charge to last you yet another day. Right now, in 2025, we absolutely wouldn't mind a nice upgrade to the 327 mAh cell inside an Apple Watch. Galaxy Watches are chasing a 30 to 40 hours endurance on a single charge, challenging the Apple Watch to up its game. Here's hoping that Cupertino is ready to pick up the gauntlet. We expect the Apple Watch Series 11 to be available in two sizes, 42 and 46mm ones. Each of these will be available in either GPS-only or GPS+cellular variant, with the connectivity here possibly getting upgraded from LTE to 5G on the upcoming models for better efficiency. On top of that, we should — again — get a choice between two types of materials. The Watch Series 10 can be either aluminum or titanium. With rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro shifting away from titanium, the same might happen with the Apple Watch — we'll see. As for prices, the future is shrouded in Schrodinger's tariffs. But let's assume, for now, that there will be no change and the Apple Watch Series 10 will start at $399 / $429 for the 42 mm / 46 mm models. Both smartwatches will let you make and take calls — as long as you go for the cellular model. Opt for the GPS-only version, and you can still chat away, but only if your iPhone is within arm's reach. So, freedom comes at a premium, as usual. Here's how the Apple Watch Series 11 vs Galaxy Watch 10 specs are likely going to look: By the looks of it, right now, the only big new thing about the Apple Watch Series 11 is going to be the new blood pressure sensor. And that is quite the technological undertaking we imagine. A niche of users, particularly those that really like the Apple Watch wellness monitoring suite, may feel inclined to upgrade, and that makes sense. It's an actual tangible upgrade and new feature, instead of yesteryear's temperature monitor that only works in certain conditions and use cases. Will there be anything else to make you open that wallet? Hold on, we are also waiting on new information.
