Porsche’s electric Macan Turbo is an automotive existential crisis

  Maybe it was the grey color, the slightly bulbous roofline, or the vaguely SUV-like proportions of the electric Porsche Macan, but as I shuttled kids and groceries around city and suburban streets, I never once noticed a longing stare from other drivers. Unlike with other cars I’ve tested, no enthusiasts stopped to ask me questions. The 2026 Porsche Macan Turbo simply blended in, leaving in its wake a raft of existential questions. What is a sports car, anyway? Does it need to be overwhelmingly extroverted? Should it match the leaner, lighter look of its gas-powered sibling? Drive one and the questions cease. Maybe that’s because the acceleration makes it hard to breathe? Or maybe it’s because, by the numbers, the Macan is a sports car at heart despite its rather humdrum crossover body style.   My passengers would agree. The kids I drove to soccer practice, both my own and others, gave the punchy acceleration high marks. The G-forces it reports on the head-up display ($2,66...

Samsung reveals key Galaxy F70 5G specs and its launch date

Samsung launched the Galaxy F70e back in February and the Galaxy F70 Pro in August, and the vanilla Galaxy F70 showed up in Google's database last week. Today, Flipkart has put up a microsite for the Galaxy F70 5G, revealing that it will launch in India on October 18, with a starting price of INR 1X,XXX. That means it will cost somewhere below INR 20,000 ($225).

The phone will come with an FHD+ Super AMOLED screen with a waterdrop notch and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, the Exynos 1330 chipset, a 50MP main camera with OIS (which Samsung calls the "No Shake Cam"), a 5MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro camera, a 13MP selfie camera, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The device is 7.5mm thick and dust and splash resistant, and it will be available in Vivid Violet and Bold Black.

On the software side, the Galaxy F70 5G supports Circle to Search, Google Gemini, Samsung Wallet with Tap and Pay, Quick Share, Voice Focus, and Knox security. Samsung also points out that the F series is designed and made in India.

If all of this sounds familiar, that's because it is. The model number previously hinted at a link to the Galaxy A17 5G, and the specs Flipkart has revealed are a perfect match for that phone, down to the 7.5mm thickness and the camera layout. So it's pretty safe to say that the F70 5G is a rebranded Galaxy A17 5G, much like the F70e is a rebranded Galaxy A07 5G. If that's right, then also expect a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, and a promise of six major Android updates.

Here's when Apple will show off its touchscreen MacBooks and the OLED iPad mini

Last week, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is planning a second October launch following its smart home event, and now he has more details on what it will look like. According to Gurman, Apple is inviting some media to an all-day product launch experience on October 28 in Los Angeles. This will be for the touchscreen MacBooks , the OLED iPad mini , and the M6-powered 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac. Gurman previously said the launch would happen on October 27, so it may very well be that Apple announces the new products that day and lets the press get hands-on with them a day later, though that's just speculation on our part.

Xreal 1 Pro+ launches with brighter display and same price as predecessor

Xreal’s latest pair of AR glasses brings some big improvements on the display front while keeping the same $599 starting price. The key upgrade on the brand-new Xreal 1 Pro+ is its 1200 nits peak brightness, which is up from 700 nits on its predecessor. The new model now supports 60fps 2D to 3D conversion, up from 30fps on the Xreal 1 Pro, and this should directly translate to livelier spatial content. You get the same-sized 0.55-inch Sony Micro-OLED panels on the inside with 1920x1200 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Xreal is advertising a new AI HDR feature, which should translate to improved visual quality. You still get a 57-degree field of view with a 34–556-inch virtual-size range and native 3DoF (three degrees of freedom) support for spatial viewing. The internals are headlined by the X1 spatial computing chip with 3ms M2P latency. The glasses come with an updated nose pad design with a broader contact area, which is said to be more stable and comfortable for long-term use. ...
