HONOR Connect enables file-sharing across iPhone, Windows
HONOR is pushing the boundaries of multi-device connectivity with the launch of HONOR Connect, a new feature that enables file transfers across iOS, Android and Windows, the first of its kind outside of China.
The feature addresses a long-standing challenge faced by users operating across ecosystems, where sending files between iPhones and Android devices often involves cumbersome workarounds, such as third-party apps or cloud uploads.
With HONOR Connect, users can now transfer photos, videos, and documents seamlessly across phones, tablets and laptops regardless of operating system.
To activate the feature, iPhone and iPad users simply need to install the HONOR Connect app, which allows them to send and receive files with supported HONOR devices.
The feature is currently supported on the HONOR 400 series, HONOR Pad 10 and the brand's latest flagship laptop, the HONOR MagicBook Pro 14.
HONOR said the new system simplifies workflows for professionals and everyday users who frequently switch between mobile and desktop platforms, offering a more streamlined approach to productivity and file sharing.
DEBUT WITH THE HONOR MAGICBOOK PRO 14
The launch coincides with the Malaysian debut of the HONOR MagicBook Pro 14, which features the full suite of HONOR Connect capabilities.
Designed for professionals and students, the MagicBook Pro 14 is equipped with a 92Wh battery that delivers up to 12 hours of typical usage.
It supports 100W HONOR SuperCharge, capable of reaching nearly 50 per cent charge in 30 minutes, and runs on 32GB RAM with 1TB SSD storage. Despite its power, the laptop weighs just 1.37kg and measures only 15.9mm thick.
Available in white with a new pearl electrophoresis finish, the laptop is built for portability, comfort and performance. Its smart dual-mode cooling system enhances heat dissipation by 8.6 per cent, and the 65W performance mode allows it to handle intensive tasks, including video editing and 3D rendering.
NOW AVAILABLE IN MALAYSIA
The HONOR MagicBook Pro 14 goes on sale in Malaysia on June 13, priced at RM4,999.

Samsung is poised to unveil latest folding smartphones on July 9
The new products should include the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 handsets, solidifying Samsung's position in the folding category. — Samsung Samsung Electronics Co. announced plans to hold its latest launch event on July 9, when the company is expected to introduce new foldable smartphones and other Galaxy devices. The Unpacked summer showcase will kick off in Brooklyn, New York, at 10am (10pm Malaysia time), Samsung said, promising to deliver "the next evolution' of Galaxy phones and artificial intelligence features. The new products should include the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 handsets, solidifying Samsung's position in the folding category. The Flip device is expected to feature a larger outer display, similar to the Razr Ultra from Lenovo Group Ltd.'s Motorola division. Folding devices have become a hotly competitive area for smartphone makers in recent years, even if most consumers have yet to embrace them. The devices are pricier than standard handsets and remain niche items, but manufacturers are betting that more refined designs can entice shoppers. Apple Inc. – Samsung's biggest smartphone rival – doesn't sell a folding model, though it's preparing to introduce one as soon as next year, Bloomberg News has reported. The Fold 7 will resemble a tablet when it's unfolded, like past models, and should feature a thinner design and slimmer bezels, according to a teaser that Samsung posted this month. The upgrade signals that the company is looking to keep pace with Chinese phone brands like Huawei Technologies Co., Honor and Oppo. Honor told Bloomberg in a recent interview that its upcoming Magic V5 foldable will measure just 8.8 millimetres thick when closed. Alphabet Inc.'s Google is Samsung's main competitor for this type of folding phone in the US and is similarly expected to unveil its Pixel 10 Pro Fold later this summer. Samsung is also expected to announce its latest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 8, during the July Unpacked event. And the South Korean consumer electronics giant is likely to highlight its Galaxy AI suite of software features. Samsung is nearing a wide-ranging deal with Perplexity AI Inc. to preload that company's app and assistant on upcoming devices, Bloomberg reported last month. – Bloomberg

GoPro Introduces New, Easy and Powerful 360 Editing Tools to its Quik Mobile App
New MotionFrame Re-Framing and POV Tools Make it Easier Than Ever to Edit and Share Engaging 360 and Fixed-Frame Videos SAN MATEO, Calif., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced the addition of two new tools to its 360 editing suite in the Quik mobile app. The tools—MotionFrame and POV—offer new ways to review, capture and share traditional fixed-frame videos and photos from 360 footage. Both are now available in the GoPro Quik App on iOS and Android. Now creating standard videos out of 360 videos is as easy as moving your phone around during playback of your 360 content. MotionFrame, formerly known as OverCapture, uses your phone's gyroscope and touch gestures to output a standard video file based on how you move your phone during playback of your 360 video. After creating a re-framed MotionFrame edit, you can choose to 'smooth' out your manual pans for a more polished look or leave as 'original' if that's the look you prefer. It's fun, fast and easy. The new POV tool makes it simple to create immersive 'see what I saw' POV videos out of your 360 videos, mapping your video edit to your direction of travel at the time of your original recording. Thanks to MAX's onboard GPS, the Quik app can determine what your direction of travel was and then locks your edit's view to that directional path. You can also change the Digital Lens or distortion profile to your desired look. These tools add to the growing 360 editing experience in the Quik App, which also includes: AI-Powered Object Tracking: Select a subject and Quik uses the power of AI to automatically keep that object in view and in focus for the entirety of the clip. Keyframing: Set multiple keyframe points for where you want the video to pan and/or zoom, and the Quik app will smooth out the transitions keyframe-to-keyframe for a polished looking edit. You can also change the Digital Lens setting to achieve a range of different looks. CameraFx: Quickly add dynamic, cinematic camera movements like pans, rotations, backflips, rolls and more with a single tap in the app. Single Clip Edits: Add filters, adjust color, sound levels and more to single clips from 360 photos and videos. Frame Grab Tool: Quickly extract high quality video stills to share as photos. Cloud Editing: Edit 360 footage directly from your GoPro cloud account with a GoPro Premium or Premium+ subscription. Desktop editors can also get the magic of 360 reframing in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects, with the GoPro Reframe plugin. Through the plugin, users can adjust angle, position, lens distortion, horizon level, motion blur and more for their 360 and 2D media. GoPro's growing suite of mobile and desktop 360 reframe tools helps you get the most out of your GoPro MAX 360 camera. Purchase MAX at or your local retailer today for $369.99 and get a free one-year GoPro Premium Subscription with purchase. About GoPro, Inc.

FBI warns of hidden 'malicious' threats lurking in widely used devices
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a public service announcement alerting Americans to a growing cyber threat that may already be inside their homes – and it's a threat many people don't even realise. According to the FBI, cybercriminals are hijacking TV streaming sticks, digital projectors, digital picture frames and more to launch malicious online activity through an evolving botnet known as BADBOX 2.0. BADBOX was first discovered in 2023 and disrupted in 2024, but the new 2.0 version has resurfaced with more advanced techniques, according to the FBI. It continues to exploit Android-based devices, especially those not certified by Google Play Protect or promoted as 'unlocked' streaming tools capable of accessing free content, the bureau said. The botnet, which reportedly consists of millions of compromised devices, allows criminals to create proxy networks out of unsuspecting users' home connections, the FBI said. The networks can then be exploited or sold to other criminals, enabling illegal activity that appears to originate from an innocent home network, according to the FBI. Most of the infected devices were manufactured in China and are either preloaded with malware before purchase or compromised during setup through the download of unofficial apps, the FBI said. Once connected, the devices can silently become part of the BADBOX 2.0 botnet, giving criminals a hidden doorway into personal networks, the bureau added. The FBI advised users to evaluate all devices in their home, especially those from unfamiliar or off-brand manufacturers, and watch for signs such as unusual Internet traffic, requests to disable Google security settings, or the use of unofficial app stores. To reduce risk, experts recommended keeping firmware and operating systems up to date, avoiding unofficial app downloads, and monitoring home network activity regularly. Anyone who suspects they may have been affected is encouraged to report the incident to the FBI through the Internet Crime Complaint Center. – News Service
