I'm a big believer in holding on to your tech for as long as possible, but at a certain point, you do need to upgrade. When that time comes, it helps to get some money for your old device to offset the cost of a new one—especially when that new device is from Apple, whose products tend to hold their value well. If you are thinking of trading in your old Apple product for a new one, there's some good news: Apple just increased its trade-in estimates on a number of devices (while, at the same time, lowering the estimates on others.) As reported by MacRumors , Apple updated its trade-in values for the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch devices on Wednesday. The company lists the values for all of the devices that it accepts for trade-in on its official Apple Trade In website . While you can't trade in every device, the company does accept trade-ins for for products from as far back as 2017. While you won't get too much these days for an iPhone 8 (up to $35) or an ...

Remember when Spotify was just for listening to music? It used to be the app for streaming tunes, but in 2026, the app has more of a do-it-all attitude. You can still use it to listen to just about any song you can think of, but you can also listen to podcasts and audiobooks, and DM with friends. (Really, there's an in-app chat function .) Even after launching all of these features, Spotify's quest to capture all of your attention isn't over: The company has announced an effort to get you to listen to magazine articles as well. Spotify's new audio articles feature uses AI Spotify announced its new "narrated articles" feature in a press release on Tuesday . According to the company, users now have access to over 650 "long-form" magazine articles to listen to through the app. Spotify says the company's in-house team at Spotify Audiobooks is behind these audio productions, including articles from magazines like The Atlantic, Billboard, GQ, Pitchf...

Flipper Devices, the company behind the semi-infamous Flipper Zero "hacking" multi-tool , is developing a Linux-powered mini-PC with the goal of creating a "truly open hardware platform." The Flipper One is described as a pocket-sized ARM device for high-performance computing, IP networking, and on-device AI use. The device is in development, so there is no price or release date as yet. The Flipper One is being built on a Rockchip RK3576 processor and the modular design means it can be expanded. "Flipper Zero taught us how much you can do with a tightly scoped, open product and a community that pushes it further than you can. Flipper One is what happens when we apply the same approach to a much bigger problem—building a fully open ARM Linux device that doesn't go obsolete the moment it ships," Pavel Zhovner, Co-founder and CEO of Flipper Devices, said in a press release. In keeping with the Flipper "open everything" ethos, the Flipper One i...

In all likelihood, Apple won't acknowledge iOS 27's existence until WWDC 2026 , but that doesn't mean the company is saving all its iOS 27 announcements until then. On Tuesday, Apple published a press release announcing a slew of new accessibility features coming "later this year." While Apple didn't specify, that almost assuredly means they will arrive with iOS 27. Apple does have a good track record when it comes to accessibility features, and it usually announces a slate of new accessibility updates ahead of WWDC. But this year feels a bit different: While these features will indeed likely benefit users with limitations or special needs, Apple also advertises them as "powered by Apple Intelligence." This is almost certainly the company's way of signaling to the tech community (as well as investors) that it is continuing to take AI seriously, especially after two years of slowdowns and setbacks. Moreover, several of these features seem widely...
