Samsung unveils Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro with AirPods-like design and upgraded internals

Samsung announced the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro at Unpacked 2026, preserving the AirPods-inspired look but adding a flat exterior metal surface and, on the Pro, a two‑way woofer/tweeter design for better sound and ANC. The Buds 4 cost $179 and Buds 4 Pro $249, with preorders starting today for an on-sale date of March 11. The Pro adds higher IP rating (IP57 vs IP54), silicone ear tips, and higher-end audio codecs, while Galaxy devices offer faster pairing and exclusive controls via the Wearable app; non‑Galaxy devices work but with limited features.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display actually delivers

Allison Johnson goes hands-on with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra and is impressed by Privacy Display, a dual-layer screen that narrows viewing angles to keep prying eyes from seeing your screen. Not a brand-new tech, but implemented well with on/off toggles and customizable privacy options. The S26 Ultra gains a slimmer aluminum body, brighter main and telephoto lenses, adds AI photo editing and early Google Gemini integration, and keeps the $1,299 price for 256GB/12GB RAM.

Galaxy S26 series sticks to updates as prices climb

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus are mostly software updates with a higher price tag, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra gains a new Privacy Display. In the US, the S26 and S26 Plus get a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip (Ultra also uses it in other regions), the S26 Plus adds faster 20W wireless charging, and the S26’s battery grows to 4,300mAh. Storage starts at 256GB for both base models, with prices at $899 for the S26 and $1,099 for the S26 Plus (RAM remains 12GB across the lineup). Features like Audio Eraser, Google Gemini-powered tasks, scam detection, and contextual keyboard hints are highlighted as updates likely to reach older models too. Overall, a modest upgrade that costs more.

Acme Weather: iOS forecast app offers multiple forecast paths

After selling Dark Sky to Apple, its creators launch Acme Weather for iOS, a forecast app that shows a primary daily prediction alongside several alternate forecasts derived from satellite, ground‑station, and radar data. The app uses closely grouped forecast lines to signal reliability and wider spreads to indicate potential changes, and it lets users report conditions on a map with radar, lightning, rain, wind, and other data, plus customizable notifications. It costs $25/year after a two‑week free trial, with an Android version planned.

Fulu launches $10K bounty to move Ring doorbell footage off Amazon’s cloud

The Fulu Foundation is offering an initial $10,000 bounty (with potential to match more via donors) to anyone who can integrate Ring doorbells released in 2021 or later with a local PC or server and ensure recordings no longer rely on Amazon servers, effectively moving Ring footage off the cloud. This aims to give users more control over their footage, building on Ring’s existing options (local storage via Ring Edge only with Ring Alarm Pro and ongoing cloud storage with a subscription) and amid DMCA concerns that could limit bounty solutions.

Google AI search makes cited links pop up with descriptions

Google will display links to cited sources inside its AI Overviews and AI Mode with hover-triggered pop-ups that include descriptions and images, and will show descriptive link icons in responses on desktop and mobile; the change aims to improve content discovery while regulators review AI’s effect on publishers, and Google says publishers can opt out of appearing in AI search features.
