MoreAre you tired of incremental smartphone updates?
Smartphones are boring now, and it's been years since we've seen something truly innovative in the space. The last time I remember being truly excited about a new phone was back when the original Galaxy Fold launched, but even smartphones with foldable displays are getting minor yearly updates. Take Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra as a recent flagship example. It's a solid phone, with a stellar camera, a great-looking design, and potentially useful new AI features, but beyond its new 50-megapixel Ultra-wide camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and very subtle design changes, it's nearly identical to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. And it's not just Samsung. You can pretty much make the same argument about the jump from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro and the Pixel 8 Pro to the Pixel 9 Pro, with a few exceptions. But does it even really matter? Do we actually need massive leaps whenever a new device drops, especially with people often hanging onto their smartphones for several years? Sure, the mo
Is it too soon to be talking about a PlayStation 6?
Over the past week, rumors popped up on social media about a sixth PlayStation being actively in development, potentially targeting a holiday 2027 release date. These unconfirmed whispers sparked plenty of debate online, with many expressing frustration about the PS5 era, which began with high prices and console shortages, and could be on the cusp of ending with no real breakout titles, save for maybe Astro Bot (depending on who you ask). The online discourse machine predictably went into overdrive in response to these rumors, with gamers loudly expressing frustration with this potential development. Though I have no idea how true this may be (the rumor seems to have come from a general gaming account on X,) with so many people talking about it, I can't help but wonder, is it too soon to be talking about a PS6? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Are you going to cancel Netflix?
Just like YouTube TV did a few weeks ago, Netflix announced this week that they would be raising prices across the board on every single tier of their service, effective as of the next billing cycle. Though the price hikes themselves are pretty modest (plans are going up between $1-$2.50) per month, consumers have expressed outrage online, with many pointing out the Netflix has hiked prices five times in five years, which has been adding up fairly quickly. With this in mind, many are wondering if the service is still worth keeping around, and we are passing the question along to you. Are you considering canceling Netflix (perhaps as part of the year of unsubscribing) or will you be keeping it in spite of the increases? Sound off below!
