Your next smartphone will probably be powered by one of these TWO new chips from @Qualcomm Meet the @snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Extreme, coming to a flagship phone near you. The first? The @Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, respectively, launching later today in China! Also coming to the @moto Signature 27, including in North America!

One of the central themes in the @Qualcomm @Snapdragon announcements was that we've moved from the era of apps to the era of agents, where AI does more for you personally. #SnapdragonSummit The demo shown off? Smart glasses that are actually useful. Not for photos, but as a personal assistant that can go off and do things for you, so you don't have to. That last piece is key.

The iPhone 18 Pro in Burgundy is VIBES! Yes, the Glacier color this year is lovely, but the finish on this Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro is just 🔥🔥

My pick as well, stunning color!

Of course man! Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro and absolutely loving this color

As always, DPD stuck me towards the end of the day. Regardless, the #iPhone18Pro in Burgundy looks STUNNING and Marques was wrong. Unboxing etc coming soon!

Yeah ok Apple, you sold me on the iPhone Duo. This looks like a phenomenal experience! #AppleEvent

The nano-texture finish on the iPhone Duo display minimizes the perception of the crease. Proof will be in the pudding when I see in person! #AppleEvent

Very little of what Apple is showing off is NEW. Still, I'm willing to bet the iPhone Duo will be a smash hit because Apple has a way of positioning and marketing that makes regular users want these experiences. That's the key: it's not about the specs but selling the experience, and this reveal is definitely doing that. #AppleEvent

Worried about the smaller screen? Don't be. Also, Apple Pencil support – this is a big move for those who lament the loss of the S Pen on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 range. Apple Pencil support on BOTH screens, like Honor, Oppo, and Motorola! #AppleEvent

Multitasking is FINALLY here on an iPhone. It's not new, but I'm very excited to test out what Apple has been able to do with multitasking on iOS. #AppleEvent

I absolutely LOVE the new vertical dock approach on the iPhone Duo. This is exactly what every foldable maker should do. #AppleEvent

iPhone Duo has an under-display internal FaceTime camera. Samsung and others couldn't figure this out – let's see if Apple has. #AppleEvent

Ngl, Apple and John Ternus know how to build hype and mystery. This is a beautiful intro to the iPhone Duo. #AppleEvent

All the new features on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, plus the pricing! #AppleEvent

Live Rewind is a BRILLIANT Apple Intelligence feature on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. Go back to the last 15 seconds- perfect for a server that speaks too loudly. Also, Siri Recap lets you take notes when you want, and you can enable/disable it from Control Center on your watch at any time. Launches in beta in English later this year! #AppleEvent

The new Apple Health app launches later this year starting in US English. Excited to try this out ngl! #AppleEvent

Want to know how old your body's health says you are? The redesigned Apple Health app brings exactly that. Let's see how accurate it is! #AppleEvent

So Apple Health basically just pulled a Whoop. This is a smart upgrade because it will make this far more appealing to a LOT more users as well. Excited to see how accurate this is! #AppleEvent

Thank god! The Apple Watch finally offers always-on heart rate monitoring, automatically capturing your heart rate every 5 seconds in the background. A long-overdue feature! Apple claims it's the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable. I will DEFINITELY be testing this out in a truly uniquely me way! #AppleEvent

Now for my favorite part: Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12. This is gonna be funnnn! #AppleEvent

These are the new AirPods 5! #AppleEvent - 50% better ANC than AirPods 4 - Best ANC in an open-ear design - Live translations - More durable than ever - 4 hours with ANC, up to 20 hours with charging case - Launches at $129, the same price as AirPods 4 without ANC Upgraded version for $149 has: - Wireless charging case - Longer battery life (5 hours) - Volume swipe on stem

Here are all the highlight features for the #iPhone18Pro #iPhone18ProMax this year! Looks like a sizable update! Also, it looks like there are some interesting offers, and don't forget the #AppleUpgrade leasing program. #AppleEvent

iPhone Handoff is HUGE. Pick up a second iPhone, and your SIM card switches over automatically. Launches with T-Mobile and Telekom Germany. EE and Verizon are adding support by the end of the year. I can't wait tbh! #AppleEvent

Yep, a smaller Dynamic Island with up to 3 items confirmed. This is a welcome Quality-of-Life improvement tbh. #AppleEvent

Variable aperture is here on the iPhone. Yes, Apple isn't the first, but it doesn't need to be; this will be a fun camera to shoot with. The smartphone camera race is firmly on. #AppleEvent

Big battery claims for Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series. Can't wait to test these out! #AppleEvent

New thermal design as part of the new Apple A20 Pro SoC, which Apple says can be placed right next to the vapor chamber. The tl;dr? Better performance, much better heat dissipation, and more. I'm very excited. #AppleEvent Up to 2x better than the iPhone 16 Pro and older. Up to 40% better than the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple Intelligence rolls out this month as part of the iOS, macOS, watchOS, and iPadOS releases in 16 languages. Siri AI launches in English, with 6 more languages coming next month. There will be some usage limits, and iCloud+ includes additional usage quotas. #AppleEvent

Clearly, this is the BIG bet on Siri AI for the new iPhones. Will it pay off? That's the real question. #AppleEvent My gut says it will: Apple has a way of shifting the industry in certain directions, unlike any other OEM. If anyone can make AI ubiquitous to a much larger audience, it'll be Apple.

Meet the new Burgundy #iPhone18Pro and #iPhone18ProMax. Man, these look STUNNING in these renders! #AppleEvent

John Ternus is up! A beautiful cameo intro from Tim Cook signs off the CEO transition in a truly Apple-esque way. First up: AI. #AppleEvent

Check out the new @ankerofficial Soundcore SleepLab Pro, which is probably the most stylish alarm clock you can have by your bedside! The best thing? It syncs with Gemini and Google Health and has the same radar-based sleep tracking as the Google Home smart display. Who said the smart home was dead? The colors on this will also appeal to anyone with children!

Check out the Tecno bezel-less phone, which is one of my highlights of IFA! We're all expecting the #AppleEvent NEXT year to feature the iPhone 20, which is rumored to adopt a bezel-less design, but Tecno is doing what it does best: proving it is right up there at the forefront of the latest smartphone trends. It's not the first time – Tecno was the first to introduce a slim phone, which shares the same identity as this concept – and I expect we'll see this become a real product eventually!

Yes, it's the #AppleEvent tomorrow, but before that, we've got the Xiaomi 18 Fold. It's gorgeous in this deep cherry red colorway, and the size is spot on, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 8. There's never been a better time to buy a foldable! It also has Xiaomi's own XRING O3 chip – an alternative approach to using Snapdragon or MediaTek – a 200MP Leica camera with 50MP ultrawide and 50MP 3.5x telephoto, and a 6,000 mAh battery. It's just 5.02mm thin at the thinnest point. 📱5.38” cover display, 7.58” main display, 4000 nits brightness 📏 Unfolded: 163.8 x 117.8 x 5.0 mm / Folded: 83.6 x 117.8 x 10.7 mm ⚖️ 219g ⚙️ XRING O3 (10-core CPU, 16-core GPU) 🗄️ 12GB RAM + 256GB/512GB or 16GB RAM + 512GB/1TB 🔋 6000mAh battery 🔌 67W wired + 50W wireless 🖼️ Xiaomi HyperOS 4 📸 200MP main, f/1.7, 1/1.56” sensor, OIS 📷 50MP ultrawide, f/2.4, 17mm 🔭 50MP periscope telephoto, 3.5x optical zoom, OIS 🤳 Dual 16MP, f2.2, 21mm

Cue more bloody nonsense from idiots who clearly don't understand tech and are just searching for something to make them seem important / knowledgeable when really, they're just idiots?

Interesting tag line from @revolut! Me thinks @oneplus would like a word 😂

One of my favorite highlights from #ifa2026? The stunning @lenovo Project Swan concept! It's not the first rollable concept we've seen from Lenovo but it is a WONDERFUL idea. The premise is simple - the screen gets bigger horizontally at the touch of a button - but it's an ideal from factor for someone who travels especially! I'm hoping this comes to market eventually!

Check out the new @moto #MotoWatchUltra! This is really nice in the hand and with heart insights from Polar, I'm very excited to see what Motorola can do, especially as this runs on WearOS as well! #ifa2026

Hey @kingscrossN1C Always knew these warnings about trolleys locking if removed was bluster... Spotted at @HeathrowAirport 😂

Good morning from Boston and the @UGREENOfficial #UgreenAIoT launch!

Rookie. Call me when you can do this 😂😂

It gets even better... @googlefi support lacks even the most basic of comprehension skills.

Hey @GOVUK one severe warning alert is Acceptable. Multiple is not. We're meant to be competent, not incompetent. Now when this service could help, they'll ignore it because they think that it's spam. People need to trust you won't abuse it. If you need tech help, just ask 🤦
