    The prediction is that the launch of the new iPhones will take place on September 20. This move is important for Apple because it will enable some of the earnings to be included in the fourth fiscal quarter, which will aid in achieving the anticipated 5% sales growth from the previous year.

    In addition to the iPhone 16…

    Apple is revamping its range of wearable gadgets, including the upcoming thinner and larger-screen Apple Watch Series 10. The AirPods will also be updated, featuring new versions with improved features like noise cancellation in the intermediate model.

  • Galaxy Ring will be available in two additional sizes.

    Galaxy Ring will be available in two additional sizes.

    Samsung recently introduced the Samsung Galaxy Ring, a cutting-edge device designed to broaden the company’s reach in the health and wellness technology market. The gadget boasts an elegant design and state-of-the-art health monitoring capabilities, positioning it as a strong contender against smartwatches and fitness trackers. Additionally, two new sizes of the device will soon be available in the USA.

    Galaxy Ring will be available in sizes 14 and 15.

    The Galaxy Ring is crafted to be inconspicuous and stylish, providing a discreet and elegant option compared to bulkier smart watches. It is perfect for individuals who favor a more subtle yet effective device.

    The ring is currently offered in nine U.S. standard sizes, but there are rumors that Samsung will introduce sizes 14 and 15 soon to cater to a wider audience. This range of sizes allows the Galaxy Ring to fit various finger sizes effectively while maintaining sensor accuracy.

    Samsung has not made an official statement regarding this new development, so it is unclear whether the new sizes will be available worldwide or exclusively in the United States.

    Colors of the Galaxy Ring

    The Galaxy Ring is made with high-quality materials and comes in three color choices: Black Titanium, Gold Titanium, and Silver Titanium. These color options enhance the elegant appearance of the ring while also ensuring durability and strength, essential qualities for a device used regularly.

    The utilization of titanium enhances the product’s strength, ensuring the ring withstands daily wear and tear while remaining comfortably lightweight. Moreover, the titanium coating gives the Galaxy Ring a sleek, contemporary appearance, making it a compelling device.

    The Galaxy Ring can be pre-ordered in Brazil for R$3,499 with a R$500 discount until October 18, when it will be officially available.

  • YouTube is concealing the “Skip” button in order to display additional ads.

    YouTube is concealing the “Skip” button in order to display additional ads.

    If you don’t subscribe to YouTube Premium at the monthly cost of R$ 24.90, you will likely have to endure multiple ads while watching videos on the platform. Previously, the ‘Skip’ button provided relief by allowing users to bypass ads and watch videos more quickly. However, YouTube recently made a slight adjustment, making it somewhat more challenging to locate the skip button.

    YouTube modifies the ‘Skip’ button on its platform.

    Previously, a timer displayed at the bottom right corner showed the time left until the skip option became available. Now, a yellow line moves across the bottom of the video, adjusting its speed based on the ad’s length. If the ad is lengthy, the yellow line progresses rapidly until the skip button is shown. In cases where skipping is not possible, the yellow line represents the entire ad duration.

    Some Reddit users have reported that YouTube is experimenting with black overlays to conceal the skip button, making it harder to ignore ads. This tactic is part of a larger series of tests the platform is conducting to determine the most effective way to increase ad viewing time.

    YouTube has not issued an official statement regarding these adjustments. However, these slight modifications are intended to boost ad revenue, which totaled $31.51 billion in 2023, marking an almost 8% increase from the previous year. Even small changes can have a significant financial effect.
