Each week is a week in charge of technology, and the last seven days have not been an exception. Just in case you have not had the chance to visit Techradar every day this week (we will forgive you), these are the most important stories you need to know.
There is a lot to go here: more advances in AI, a new number one Bluetooth speaker and promises of futuristic devices on the way. Satellite phones, there is a varied selection of stories below.
Once you have succeeded, you will be back up to date with all the comings and goings of technology since last weekend – and if the next few days are also busy, do not worry, because we will have another Icymi for you this time next week.
8. Netflix revealed the date of his Tudum showcase
Netflix has a large showcase of content each year called Tudum (the sound that the Netflix application is launched) and we now know that extravagance 2025 will take place late on May 31 in the United States, and early June 1 in the United Kingdom and Australia.
There are many reasons to connect, on the basis of the trailer Tudum 2025. We should obtain updates on some of the largest Netflix properties, especially Foreign things,, Calmar gameAnd Wednesdayas well as the third film of Knives franchise.
7. We have examined the best bluetooth speaker in the world
JBL has a very strong reputation with regard to portable Bluetooth speakers, and the brand new Flip 7 improves this reputation more: it has simply won five in five stars in our JBL Flip 7 review, and our writers really do not give this score easily.
The speaker impressed us enormously in terms of design, quality of construction and battery life, then of course, there is also the beautifully impactful and detailed sound. It offers a much larger and better sound landscape than you expect, given its compact dimensions.
6. Nothing has launched another impressive budget phone
Nothing continues to publish devices that perfectly balance performance and price, with the latest gadget to attract our attention by being the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Yours for only $ 279 / £ 219 (around $ 460 in) next week, it seems to be one of the best cheap phones of 2025.
That’s not all, because nothing has also revealed the CMF Buds 2, Buds 2 Plus and Buds 2A, which again made a shame of more expensive devices in terms of value for money. Not only are these new gadgets at an attractive price, but they also offer elegant and catchy designs.
5. “boring” personality of fixed chatgpt Openai
It is always refreshing to see a technological company admitting that it made a mistake, and after having noticed that the personality of GPT-4O had become “too sycophant and boring”, the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, promised that fixes took place to correct the problems this week.
The heart of the problem was that Chatgpt was too strong for being human, with too many flattering remarks and too many expressions of consonance excitation. It turns out that most of us love our IA companions to admit their artificiality.
4. Starlink satellite internet obtained a “free” tempting offer
Starlink’s efforts to try to connect the most cut and most distant parts from the world to the Internet are continuing, and the last offer of the company renounces material configuration costs for new subscribers, as long as they are committed for at least 12 months to the satellite service.
It is a heavy economy of $ 349 in the United States, for example, but not everyone is eligible to withdraw money. To start, it is only available on “Select Markets” (see the Starlink website to see if you qualify), and there are also additional terms and conditions.
3. GTA 6 was delayed until 2026
Let’s say that this is not the case: the most anticipated video games in recent years will no longer be launched this year. Rockstar Games had promised that we would see Grand Theft Auto 6 In 2025, but now announced that the title was postponed and will be unveiled on May 26, 2026.
The reasons are those usual of this type of delay, which fans “expect and deserve” the best possible experience, etc. Next year, we could find that GTA 6 Fans actually deserve to wait a little longer than May – but that remains to be seen.
The intelligent glasses made by Meta and Ray-Ban have helped repel this gadget form factor to the dominant current, so we are delighted to see what comes then: and what comes then will be apparently several new versions of the specifications, arriving later this year.
Meta Boss Mark Zuckerberg said the file in a report on the results to say that the range “will expand” in 2025 and offer “new technological capacities”. We also have some ideas on what Zuckerberg could mean and the improvements we could see.
Chatgpt has announced a large upgrade of its online purchasing skills this week, the idea being that you can have a natural and interactive conversation with AI on the products you want and the budget you have, and obtain appropriate purchase options in return.
We have already tested the new features, and they have the potential to completely transform how we buy online – assuming that you trust AI to choose the right articles for you. If you prefer to do more research yourself, you might always prefer old ways.
