Amazon's super-expensive Kindle Scribe (2024) is on sale at a new record high discount
Typically available for a whopping $399.99 and up, the 2024-released Kindle Scribe is hard to consider a smarter purchase than some of the best tablets frequently priced at a similar level. But what if you could save a cool hundred bucks on Amazon's latest high-end e-reader capable of taking beautifully handwritten notes? While that obviously doesn't change the fact that you're not looking at a full-blown tablet here, the unprecedented discount certainly maximizes the value proposition of a device that had a very specific (and generally very devoted) target audience to begin with.
E-Book Reader with 16GB Storage, 2024 Release, 10.2-Inch Glare-Free Display with 300 ppi resolution, Uniform White Borders, Built-in AI-Powered Notebook, Active Canvas, Up to 12 Weeks of Battery Life, Adjustable Warm Light, Auto-Adjusting Front Light Sensor, Flush-Front Design, USB-C Port, Tungsten Color, Premium Pen Included Buy at Amazon
Keep in mind that this is the second Kindle Scribe edition, and unlike its 2022 predecessor, the 2024 model comes bundled with a "Premium Pen" as standard. Amazon remarkably slashes $100 off the list prices of all three available storage variants, starting with the 16GB one that normally costs four Benjamins and going up to a 64GB configuration typically setting you back $449.99. Apart from the aforementioned "premium" stylus, which comes equipped with a customizable shortcut button and soft-tipped eraser while not requiring charging or setup, the key selling point and major strength over the greatest Android tablets money can buy in 2025 has to be the epic 12-week battery life rating.
Of course, that staggering number can only be achieved in certain usage conditions, but whatever you do, however many books you read, and notes you take on the Kindle Scribe (2024), you should still be able to squeeze one or two weeks of endurance out of this bad boy with minimal effort.
The 10.2-inch display is also pretty spectacular (at least by conventional e-book reader standards), rocking 300 ppi resolution and uniform white borders while sitting perfectly flush with the rest of the Kindle Scribe's design to look more like a high-end tablet at a first glance than a product generally viewed as more "rudimentary."

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Geekbench scores tipped
Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series is due to be made official in September, and ahead of that today we have yet another rumor claiming that all four devices will have high refresh rate screens. That said, don't expect the vanilla iPhone 17's panel to be on par with those of the Pros - what's recently been rumored is that it won't be variable refresh rate since it won't get an LTPO OLED panel. Aside from this, the leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has also presented us with the performance figures for the upcoming A19 Pro chip which will be powering the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It will allegedly get an over 4,000 single-core score and an over 10,000 multi-core score in Geekbench 6. For reference, note that the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro Max scored 3,490 and 8,606 in our testing, respectively (and it had better performance than the iPhone 16 Pro). So, with that in mind, we're looking at an improvement of 15% in single-core performance and 17% in multi-core performance. The A19 Pro will be made on TSMC's N3P process, expected to also be picked for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which are both launching the same month as the A19 Pro, so the competition between these three will definitely be interesting to watch.

Liquid Glass on iOS 26 is stunning, it also sucks
We had countless reports that Apple wouldn't talk about AI much at this year's WWDC ( Worldwide Developers Conference ), focusing instead on a complete UI redesign. That turned out to be true, and we got our first look at iOS 26 and its meticulously designed Liquid Glass overhaul. This redesign is, at least in technical terms, quite stunning. The execution, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Apple shows off Liquid Glass for its operating systems. | Video credit — Apple When Apple went into the details of how it created Liquid Glass for iOS 26 , all I could think was that this looked amazing. The craftsmanship here is brilliant, and the company has genuinely put a ton of effort into this example, the glass-based elements across the UI don't just show whatever's hiding behind them, that would have been super easy to do. Instead, Liquid Glass tabs and menus refract the light of the objects behind them, just like real glass would. Apple showed us how it had crafted app icons with actual glass in its design labs to better study how light would bounce off of their unique all technical aspects, Liquid Glass is a marvel of digital engineering. I keep seeing iOS 26 in motion and I keep thinking, 'wow!' Comparing Liquid Glass with Windows Vista or custom Android skins is doing a disservice to just how brilliantly Apple's redesign is is why it's a massive shame that it sucks so much. Liquid Glass on iOS 26. | Image credit — PhoneArena As soon as iPhone users installed the iOS 26 Beta, reports of Liquid Glass and its failures started pouring in across social media. I would have shared some of those posts if the moderators of those communities weren't working overtime to remove all of them. Simply put, Apple's new design needs time in the oven, a lot more time. Menus and other elements that feature text fail to adapt properly to their background, often leading to issues with legibility. Contrast is all over the place and has made notifications almost impossible to decipher. Lastly, whenever there's too many Liquid Glass buttons or menus on the screen at the same time, it leads to a confusing and jumbled up mess. Which entirely defeats the purpose of why Apple made Liquid Glass. The refraction in Liquid Glass is great. | Image credit — Apple I personally think that there is a lot that Apple has done right with iOS 26 . For example, the improvements to the Camera and Phone apps, with the former being a lot less cluttered now. The lock screen also looks pretty neat, when it's not messing up all of your notifications, of course. Unfortunately, Liquid Glass needs a lot of work. Thankfully, iOS 26 is only out as a Beta at the moment, and Apple has months to perfect the new redesign before the public release in fall. This means that some of the stunning new effects on the virtual elements will likely need to be toned down, which is a bummer because they're genuinely very pretty. The level of translucency across Liquid Glass will probably also need to be tweaked, and iOS 26 may actually end up resembling Windows Vista after all. Apple executive Craig Federighi pointed out that the company has been experimenting with translucent elements since iOS 7. It's a shame that they weren't able to perfect it in time for this overhaul. Lastly, even if Liquid Glass looked just as perfect as Apple had intended, it would have still needed to be changed. There have been multiple reports that all of the fancy effects are taking a toll on the processing, and iOS 26 is a laggy experience for many iPhone users. And I haven't even mentioned how iOS 26 is apparently the buggiest Beta in years. Fair warning: this is the buggiest beta 1 in 12 years. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) June 9, 2025 Apple has recently had a string of bad software updates, and it needed to really pull it together for WWDC. In a way, it did. I enjoyed the in-depth look at Liquid Glass and I can see the vision that the company has. But the bugginess and lack of quality control is, unfortunately, expected at this point.

Google Pixel 10 series might finally copy this long-standing Apple feature
Google's expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series on August 20, and based on the leaks we've seen so far, these will look almost identical to their predecessors from 2024. But the company is going to pack them with some very interesting updates on the inside - the Tensor G5 chipset will be the first one made by TSMC and not Samsung, which should improve performance and battery life; gimbal-like camera stabilization seems to be in too. And also magnets. A new report claims the Pixel 10 devices will support Qi 2.2 wireless charging with magnets built into the phones themselves, just like Apple does it. Google has even prepared a trademark for its upcoming magnetic accessories: Pixelsnap (as they snap on). Google Pixel 10 leaked CAD-based renders So far it seems like there will be three Pixelsnap accessories at launch: a magnetic charger, a charger with a stand, and a "Ring Stand". The charger will just be a charger, the one with the stand, well, it will have a stand, while the "Ring Stand" will be the charger with the stand without the charger. The Pixels could become smart displays while charging when combined with a Pixelsnap charger (or any Qi2-compatible charger) as Google is working on bringing Hub Mode to phones, so we'd have yet another similarity to how Apple does things (with the Standby Mode in this case). The key acronym in the screenshot above, taken from an unnamed trade database, is "MPP", which stands for Magnetic Power Profile. The colors are codenames, by the way - "Rock Candy" usually turns into Obsidian, but this time around Obsidian won't be Obsidian anymore, while "Mist" becomes Porcelain, although with the Pixel 10 generation it might be Light Porcelain. If that sentence didn't make any sense to you, we're talking about the names Google likes to give to its phones' colors. Obsidian is black, Porcelain is white. Interestingly, the Pixel 10 series devices are said to sport a ConvenientPower CPS4041 controller chip for wireless charging, and this chip can support up to 60W charging, but Google could limit that in any way it wants, so this isn't a confirmation of much faster wireless charging on the Pixel 10s.
