傳 Apple Watch Ultra 3 將獲得 5G 和衛星連線能力

Yahoo26-03-2025
Apple 去年跳過了 Apple Watch Ultra 的更新,只是為二代引入了鈦黑配色。這使得今年的新品更令人期待,而根據彭博的說法,傳說中的 Apple Watch Ultra 3 將獲得 5G 和衛星連線能力。其中 5G 的部分可以說順理成章,而且消息來源稱 Apple 會採用專為 IoT 裝置而設的 5G Redcap 方案。它在速度上雖不及標準 5G,但耗電量會大幅下降。
至於 modem 的選擇,並不是剛剛在 iPhone 16e 上首發的 C1,Apple Watch Ultra 3 的 5G 和衛星連線都是依靠聯發科的組件實現。衛星功能的引入能為使用者帶來多一份保障,同時也可以讓新手錶更加符合 Ultra 產品線的極限定位。

Why the Powerbeats Pro 2 Earbuds Instantly Became My Go-To Workout Companions

Beats launched the Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this year after a six-year hiatus in the lineup. The new pair introduced a built-in heart rate tracker, improved the ergonomics and borrowed the Apple H2 chip from the AirPods Pro 2. I've been using them on and off since launch, and these are my new go-to earbuds to use for workouts. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are feature-packed Beats' new workout earbuds represent one of the biggest generational updates to this model. They come equipped with the Apple H2 chip, which puts them on par with the AirPods Pro 2. Beats says it's "leveraged Apple's best noise canceling." I find that I get a good, secure seal when I'm wearing them, so the noise cancellation performance is pretty good. However, they're tuned differently compared with the flagship Apple earbuds. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are more bassy, which some gym enthusiasts might appreciate. The best part about them is their fit, thanks to their ear hook build. The music never left my ears. Whether I was on a run or in the gym, the earbuds sat comfortably. More than the fit, I was surprised by the voice-calling performance. As CNET's David Carnoy noted in his review, "Thanks to the H2 chip, new microphones and voice accelerometers to help pinpoint your voice, Beats has made some big improvements in the voice department."

Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET I haven't relied on their heart rate monitoring system, because I have an Apple Watch. And if you're like me and you already own the Apple Watch, your iPhone will prioritize readings from the Watch. If you don't own one, it'll show the heart rate data in Apple's Health app. Like other Beats products, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are also platform-agnostic, and the company says all Android fitness and wellness apps with heart rate monitoring capabilities are compatible with its earbuds. That said, the Powerbeats Pro 2 offer a few Apple-exclusive features, like personalized spatial audio with head tracking, hands-free Siri, audio sharing and iCloud pairing across all your Apple devices logged in to your iCloud account. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 key specs Weight: 8.7 grams per earbud (case weighs 69 grams) Bluetooth 5.3 Apple H2 chip Custom designed, dual-element dynamic diaphragm transducer IPX4 splash-proof and sweat-proof Active noise cancellation (adaptive) Transparency mode Adaptive EQ Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking Six microphones total (one dedicated voice microphone on each earbud) Sensors (per bud): Optical in-ear detection, optical heart rate monitoring, accelerometer, gyroscope Customizable controls Five sizes of soft silicon ear tips (XS, S, M, L, XL) Wireless charging case (Qi compatible or via USB-C cable) Battery life: Up to 10 hours with ANC off (8 hours with ANC on) 35 additional hours from charging case with ANC off (28 hours with ANC on) Fast Fuel: 5-minute charge gets you up to 1.5 hours of playback Telephony: Up to five microphones employed for phone calls, wind-noise reduction, voice accelerometer isolates user's voice Colors: Electric Orange, jet black, Hyper Purple and Quick Sand The case isn't easy to carry Prakhar Khanna/CNET Though Beats made the Powerbeats Pro 2 50% smaller, the case is still on the bigger side. It isn't as comfortable as carrying other earbud cases, especially when you go for a run. I leave the case at home most of the time, but if you want a pair of earbuds that's easy to carry in a case, the Powerbeats Pro 2 aren't for you. That said, if portability isn't a priority, the Powerbeats Pro 2 can be counted among the best ear hook earbuds on the market right now, which is why they're on CNET's list of the best wireless earbuds of 2025. They offer good sound quality and great noise cancellation and voice call performance, and they stay snug in your ears. They also offer heart rate detection. With the $50 discount, this might be the best time to buy them.

Consumers win in Big Tech antitrust cases

Can you imagine your life without Google? Google Search, Google Chrome, Google Maps, Google Wallet, Google Drive, the Google Pixel phone—you could probably live your entire digital life within the Google ecosystem. Many, including the Justice Department, say that's a problem. The department recently won antitrust cases against Google's search engine and ad placement businesses. This may all feel abstract and perhaps invisible to most consumers. Google, Microsoft, Apple —they constitute the digital water we're all swimming in, and their monopoly raises prices, stifles innovation, and shapes our lives often to our detriment. The landmark antitrust case against Google marks a big victory against this status quo. Here's why it's so important. Monopolies create higher advertising costs Imagine promoting your business in a small town. You might buy an ad in the newspaper, put up a billboard, and run a spot on the local radio. Because these outlets are independent, you have lower prices and more advertising options. Now, imagine that the newspaper, billboard, and radio station are all owned by the same company. That shifts the dynamic: Because there is no competition for your ad dollars, prices are higher. That's essentially what the Google Ad business achieved, especially considering how critical digital advertising has become to businesses. People aren't watching commercials anymore. They're browsing the web during a commercial break. Google's monopoly on digital ads allows it to raise prices, making it harder for smaller businesses to compete and thrive. Google's monopoly created a less user-friendly internet Historically, about 90% of search traffic comes from Google, giving it a lot of power. For instance, Google uses an algorithm that examines web pages to score how relevant it is for search phrases, like 'pizza shop Minneapolis' or 'leaking fridge how to fix.' Because Google search is so dominant, people and companies who build and run websites do so with Google's algorithm in mind. That means the user experience takes a back seat to Google's preferences. If you've been to any recipe website lately, you know what I'm talking about. In a recent episode of the podcast Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara, former FTC chair Lina Khan noted that a monopoly is when a company can offer worse products and/or raise costs without suffering any substantial consequences in the market. 'You can understand this in some ways as a firm becoming too big to care,' Khan said. Many say the internet has become increasingly awful to use. The first page of search results are often dreck, in my opinion, written for Google's robots, not for humans. It's getting harder to find the information you're looking for, so a lot of people append their searches with tags for Reddit and YouTube, e.g. 'Hiking itinerary New Zealand Reddit' or 'best salmon dip recipe YouTube,' to cut through the SEO slop. Google's search monopoly could be a chokepoint for information Because of its dominance, Google can evolve in the direction of its own interests, rather than the interests of the user individually or collectively. It's not wild to imagine that Google can throttle searches for sensitive topics. During COVID, a 2020 Senate Commerce Committee hearing called Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and then-Twitter's then-CEO Jack Dorsey to question them about censoring conservative voices. Back in 2017, the World Socialist Web Site alleged that Google restrict ed access to 13 progressive and anti-war websites. For users, the question is not whether Google's algorithmic policies line up with your political views but whether Google can put its thumb on the scale regarding your access to information, based on what's advantageous for Google . It definitely can, and it definitely has. Monopolies stifle innovation Google can throw its weight around to thwart competition. In 2023, internet users noticed that YouTube (which Google owns) ran five seconds slower on the Mozilla Firefox browser than on Google Chrome. Ostensibly, Google tuned YouTube to purposely run slower on a competitor's browser to encourage users to switch to Chrome. Google, like many large companies, tends to acquire burgeoning competition rather than innovate in-house. Google has acquired hundreds of companies, from data analytics firms to rival search engines, from virtual reality developers to mapping products. When a company can buy out all the competition, consumers lose out on new ideas and better products, because the company has no incentive to pursue them. The ruling The ruling found that Google's default status with makers of smartphones, tablets, and laptops locked out rivals like Bing and DuckDuckGo, and that the integration of Google's adtech tools created a feedback loop that entrenched its monopoly. Google's ad business is facing its own antitrust lawsuit and may be broken up. The Department of Justice argues that Google's dominance in search (and its vast collection of user data) positions Google to achieve a similar feedback loop in AI -powered search and assistants—which could create a new monopoly. The DOJ has proposed forcing Google to sell Chrome and license some of its core search technologies to competitors, as well as ending default search agreements and allowing more visibility into how search results are ranked. The DOJ proposed Google give advance notice of AI-related acquisitions. Both sides have given their closing arguments and now await the judge's ruling, which is expected by August. This case is a blow against Big Tech in general, which has monopolized almost the entire digital world. I can only hope the FTC ' s antitrust case against Meta plays out in a similar fashion, and facilitates a return to a freer, more innovative digital world.
