Dolby has introduced Dolby Vision 2, the next major upgrade to its premium HDR format. This iteration brings “Content Intelligence”—an AI-driven engine that dynamically adjusts color, brightness, and contrast in real-time to suit both the content and viewing environment. Dolby Vision 2 offers two tiers: a baseline version enhancements for mainstream TVs and a Dolby Vision 2 Max for high-end displays, unlocking extreme brightness and authentic motion. The format remains backward-compatible, yet promises markedly superior visuals and deeper creative control for content creators. Early partners include Hisense TVs and Canal+ for content delivery. Dolby Vision 2 positions itself as a future-facing standard, aiming to elevate everyday viewing experiences across a spectrum of devices.

Apple is developing a giant foldable iPad that unfolds into a display approximately 20 inches—roughly the size of two iPad Pros side-by-side. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests a 2028 launch for this revolutionary design, which could run both iPadOS and possibly macOS apps. Rumors describe a seamless, tablet-like form factor that bridges portable computing and desktop workflows. While hardware design remains under wraps, the functionality hints at a new category blending tablet flexibility with Mac-level multitasking. If successful, this product could redefine Apple’s product lineup, positioning the company as a leader in foldable device innovation.

Instagram has finally released an official native iPad app, ending a long-standing user complaint. Prior to this, iPad users relied on scaled-up iPhone versions or browser-only access. The new app fully embraces the larger screen with a layout optimized for tablets: it launches directly into the Reels feed, includes a chronological Following tab, and features Stories conveniently placed at the top. The design feels modern, intuitive, and purpose-built for iPadOS. This rollout marks Meta’s renewed commitment to the platform, joining WhatsApp’s recent debut on iPad. For creators and casual users alike, it’s a complimented experience that highlights visual content beautifully and finally uses the iPad’s real estate properly.

Garmin has unveiled the Fenix 8 Pro—a rugged smartwatch integrating inReach satellite and LTE communications, allowing users to send messages, make emergency SOS alerts, and even receive weather updates without a phone. The lineup includes AMOLED and MicroLED variants; the MicroLED model stands out with ultra-bright 4,500-nit display and titanium design. Battery life ranges from 10 days (MicroLED) to 27 days (AMOLED). With pricing from $1,100 up to $2,000, this represents a leap in standalone outdoor-ready functionality. Garmin’s move marks a rare lead over Apple in smartwatch innovation by prioritizing independence and safety in remote conditions.

Apple is said to be building an AI-driven search experience for Siri, internally labeled “World Knowledge Answers,” aiming for release in early 2026. This enhancement would equip Siri—and potentially Safari and Spotlight—with generative AI capabilities akin to ChatGPT or Google’s AI overviews. Leveraging large language models (and possibly Google’s Gemini), the feature will provide more natural, informative responses by synthesizing web data directly via voice. As Apple seeks to bolster Siri’s relevancy and performance, this unlocks the assistant’s evolution from a command-based tool to a context-aware digital knowledge agent integrated across the ecosystem.
