The 45mm model is available in Satin Moonstone (bluish-gray) or Matte Black Aluminum with a matching band, or Polished Silver Aluminum with a Porcelain band. All models ship with an Active Band, but Google offers numerous accessory straps (sold separately), including a new Gradient Stretch Band. Google sent me the 45mm Pixel Watch 4 in Satin Moonstone.

But first, you should know that Sora is not just OpenAI’s AI video generation model. It's also a TikTok-like platform that lets you scroll through an infinite feed of 10-second-long, AI-created vertical videos. Currently, the Sora app is available only on iOS, but you can also access the full experience on the web. You need an invitation to use Sora 2 (the latest version) for now, but it will eventually become part of the broader ChatGPT package.

Get the Roku Streaming Stick Plus if you want an easy streamer for guest rooms, dorms, rentals, or travel. The home screen uses big tiles that anyone can navigate, so family and visitors find Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and YouTube without guidance. Since it tucks behind the TV and pulls power from USB, you can move it between rooms or toss it in a backpack for hotel TVs. AirPlay is handy for casting photos, music, or a quick clip from an iPhone or Mac, and the snappy menus make bouncing between apps painless.

You can't control whether the sun is shining, the rain is pouring, or the wind is howling, but these useful Android and iOS apps can help you prepare for Mother Nature's many faces.

The big question is whether a small reduction in price is worth losing some of the electric car’s premium staples. I’ve driven a Tesla since 2018, when the Model 3 first debuted. I’ve also tested and reviewed a handful of other EVs, so I have a good handle on what’s important while driving one. The big takeaway? The roughly $5,000 difference between the Standard and Premium models isn’t enough to justify forgoing all the features being sacrificed.

Apple is adding a silicone ring around in-store MagSafe chargers to stop them from scratching the aluminum backs of iPhone 17 display units, Consomac reports.

Demand for PCs in the US over the last three months has remained lackluster, even though Microsoft’s Windows 10 is set to officially lose support on Oct. 14.

The Amazon Smart Plug can be controlled via Alexa voice commands or the mobile app, allowing you to automate any device that can be plugged into it. For example, if you plug in your coffee maker, you can set up routines that can turn it on or brew coffee every morning. Its compact design also leaves room for additional smart plugs if needed. It's an incredibly affordable option, and now even more so thanks to this Prime Day deal. Contributing editor John R. Delaney awarded it a "Good" rating. In our Amazon Smart Plug review, he said, "The Amazon Smart Plug lets you control whatever is plugged into it using Alexa voice commands, and it integrates with other Alexa-enabled devices, but it doesn't work with other home automation platforms and lacks energy usage reporting."

Bring knuckle-based justice to the mean streets in these excellent PC games.

Normally, Starlink customers need to purchase a dish to subscribe to the satellite internet service, but in parts of Iowa, SpaceX is only allowing new sign-ups to rent its dishes.

Android tablets come in a staggering range of makes and models, from Amazon's ultra-cheap Fire slates designed for casual content consumption and not much else, to Apple's high-end iPads, which basically give you desktop-level performance in the palm of your hand. Occupying a great place in the middle is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, which earned an Editors' Choice award in our review. This Android tablet threads the needle expertly, delivering speedy performance to a nice screen at a ridiculously low price.

The glass on your phone has gotten a lot more scratch-resistant since the days of the iPod. Corning's Gorilla Glass will not scratch if you rub it with your keys or loose change, which is a big step forward. The iPhone Ceramic Shield screen, also from Corning, is supposed to be even tougher. However, it's not unscratchable, as some people believe. Take a look at this Google Pixel 2, for example. The scratches aren't deep, but they're definitely there.

As SpaceX races to dominate satellite-to-phone services, Verizon is doubling down on rival AST SpaceMobile instead.

SongShift is an iOS app that does a fantastic job matching songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, YouTube, and Spotify, among others. While some basic functions are accessible for free, the paid subscription removes any size constraints, allowing you to transfer your entire library between more than just two services. It also unlocks batch-transfers, syncs changes to playlists, and much more.

Google introduced a new Nest smart speaker last week to go alongside its Gemini smart home upgrades and new security cameras. Now, the company has teased the possibility of a future smart display to bring it all together, but it’s unlikely to launch in the immediate future.

Google's Nano Banana image-generation model has been the talk of the town ever since it was introduced in Gemini in August. Although a text-to-image generation tool primarily, users have been using it to edit photos, create figurines, and recreate old photographs. Within weeks of its launch, Nano Banana had completed over 200 million edits and given rise to several social media trends.

Apple typically enhances the iPhone's camera hardware with each new generation, though keep in mind that some options are available only on certain models. For instance, the iPhone 16 adds a dedicated camera control button that can help set up shots and take pictures. Plus, you get more features from the Pro and Pro Max premium models.

The AirPods 4 are what easy listening dreams are made of. They connect instantly, deliver crisp sound, and actually stay put while you’re running around. Spatial audio makes every playlist feel bigger, and the 30-hour battery life with the case means you’re not constantly hunting for a charger. Our expert rated them “Excellent” in his detailed review, and they’re down to $89 right now, 30% off their usual $129 price. This is about as generous as Apple gets, so you might as well take it.

It should be easy to tell what kinds of information companies collect by reading the app’s privacy policy. Unfortunately, the reality isn't so straightforward. "I'm very hesitant to tell consumers to read privacy policies,” remarked Jen Caltrider, the project lead for Mozilla's Privacy Not Included team. "I read privacy policies for a living; they're mind-numbing. People that don't read them for a living don't really stand a chance."
