Introducing DJI Osmo Pocket 3

DJI has just unveiled an impressive upgrade of its compact camera, the Osmo Pocket.

The Osmo Pocket 3 comes with a slew of significant changes, including the addition of a larger 1-inch sensor for better image and video quality, and a larger 2-inch touchscreen display that cleverly flips sideways for horizontal framing or stays upright for TikTok-style vertical video.

The big attraction of the original Osmo Pocket and its successor was the compact size, making it easy to hold and carry, and also to record video without drawing too much attention. While heavier and a little larger, the Osmo Pocket 3 still maintains an attractive level of compactness that will delight newcomers as well as those upgrading from earlier iterations.

The latest version of the Osmo Pocket also brings faster focusing, better night shots, slow motion video at 4K/120 frames per second and 1080p/240 frames per second, and support for DJI’s wireless microphone.

DJI’s new device retains its three-axis gimbal stabilization system and brings a number of upgrades to its intelligent features, including ActiveTrack 6.0 which now offers a Face Auto-Detect mode and a Dynamic Framing mode so that your subject is always in frame, even if you’re filming yourself hands-free.

“With the Osmo Pocket 3, we’ve reimagined handheld imaging, offering users a creative tool that combines precision and portability like never before,” DJI’s Paul Pan said in a release.

The first two Osmo Pockets were impressive for what they offered, but the Pocket 3 brings compelling improvements that will catch the eye of serious vloggers as well as those who want something fun and pocketable for special occasions like parties and vacations.

So, what are the downsides? The price is the main one. The Osmo Pocket 3 will set you back $519, which is a hefty $170 more than its predecessor. The Creator Combo, which includes the camera, the DJI Mic 2 transmitter, a battery handle for more power, a mini tripod, and a carrying bag, retails for $669. DJI will be hoping interested folks will view the upgrades as worth it, though whether they have the spare money to spend on it is of course another matter.

Apple has a stacked product lineup slated for later this year
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple has spent much of the past year playing catch-up in the AI conversation, but if a new report is accurate, the company is preparing to remind everyone that it still knows how to ship hardware. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has an unusually ambitious product roadmap stretching across late 2026 and 2027. While annual iPhone refreshes are nothing new, the list of devices in development reads like a company trying to reinvent multiple product categories at once. And honestly? It’s about time.

For years, Apple’s launches have largely followed a predictable formula: faster chips, slightly better cameras, and incremental refinements to products that already dominate their respective categories. That’s not necessarily a criticism — those products continue to sell incredibly well — but it hasn’t exactly been an exciting era for people hoping to see Apple take bigger swings.

iOS 27’s Liquid Glass slider looks simple, but it’s more useful than I expected
Text, Document, Business Card

Let's be honest: few iOS design changes have sparked as much debate as Liquid Glass. When Apple first introduced it with iOS 26, the internet immediately split into two camps. Some people loved the fresh, translucent look, while others couldn't stand it and felt it made parts of the interface harder to read. I happened to be firmly in the first camp. At the time, I was using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and installing the update was one of the first things I did. I loved how the new design made iOS feel more modern and dynamic. The transparency effects gave the interface a sense of depth, making the entire experience feel fresh again.

That said, it's easy to understand why not everyone felt the same way. After months of feedback, screenshots, hot takes, and endless debates online, Apple eventually responded by giving users more control. Instead of forcing everyone into the same look, it introduced options that let people choose between a clearer glass effect and a more tinted appearance. With iOS 27, Apple is putting the Liquid Glass debate completely in your hands. A new slider lets you customize the effect exactly the way you want it, whether you prefer a crystal-clear look or something easier on the eyes. Here's what it does and how to make the most of it on your iPhone.

Apple users are being targeted by a familiar tech support scam
Apple users face a new wave of fake iPhone and iCloud security warnings
iPhone user

AI has made online scams harder to spot by making deepfakes, voice cloning, and fake messages more realistic. Even so, the old tech support scam is still catching victims. For years, fraudsters often posed as Microsoft support workers. Now, reports suggest many are shifting their attention to Apple users.

Consumers are reporting a rise in fake “Apple High Alert” messages that claim an iPhone, iCloud account, or Apple ID has been compromised. These messages are designed to make people panic and react quickly before they can stop to check whether the warning is real.
