Android 13 is coming right along, and now we have the second Developer Preview to play with. While most of this update is focused on developer quality of life, we found some interesting tidbits that caught our attention — one of which is a small, very iOS-like change that we’re excited about. Developer Preview 2 will adjust some things for app developers which will then trickle down to end users....

Three things of note have popped up: easier QR code scanning (via Android Police (opens in new tab)), Tap-to-Transfer media playback handoff (via Android Police (opens in new tab)), and a revamped media output picker (via Android Police (opens in new tab)). We’ll go over these features here in a bit. All of this comes courtesy of a “trusted source” in contact with Android Police. Bear in mind that all of these features are subject to change, evolution, or removal as Google works on them....

If you have an iPhone 11 or later, we highly recommend picking up an AirTag to use alongside it. In our Apple AirTag review, we loved the simplicity of the device. It connects quickly and allows you to find your lost items with ease. Whether your item is close by or far away, you can easily use your phone to send out a signal and track your things down. The AirTag comes equipped with a speaker which will beep while you’re looking, and an additional signifier that your item is close by....

Supposedly on track for a 2023 debut (the year of the iPhone 15), Apple’s been working to design proprietary modems (the component that processes your cell signal) for several years already, claims a new Wall Street Journal (opens in new tab) report. These moves include Apple buying out most of Intel’s smartphone modem division in 2019, including a team of 2,200 employees that’s apparently continuing to hire more staff. It’s also reportedly been hiring staff to work on cellular modem chips in San Diego (home of modem and chip-maker Qualcomm) and at a satellite office in Irvine, CA that happens to be nearby Broadcom, a company specializing in components that interface between modems and antennas....

The problem around the Apple HomePod 2 rumors is that they currently center around two separate designs, one with an Apple TV 4K built-in and one without. The only thing for certain at this point, at least, is that Apple HomePod mini will carry the torch for the next six months - not that we’re complaining. It sounds great for its size, and for $99, it introduced a more affordable way to start using HomeKit than previously offered making it one of the best smart speakers you can buy....

We’re just as surprised about this change to Apple’s trade-in values (opens in new tab) as you might be, given that it came out of nowhere (via 9to5Mac (opens in new tab)). This hits almost everything from the iPhone 13 Pro Max down, though some models like the iPhone 13 mini remain unchanged. Here’s what we know. Some iPhone trade-in values have dropped quite significantly, such as the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro....

As spotted by FlatPanelsHD (opens in new tab), the latest app update has taken away the option to buy or rent movies directly in the app. In place of the two buttons offering said functionality, Apple has one labelled “How to Watch." When pressed, you’re informed that “you can buy, rent or subscribe in the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, and other streaming device.” You can apparently still watch movies and TV shows you’ve previously bought or rented elsewhere and, despite the text above suggesting subscriptions are done elsewhere, at the time of writing you can still sign up for Apple TV Plus from in the app....

It has become a marquee matchup in the NFL. Bills vs Chiefs, Allen vs Mahomes. Everywhere you look, there’s talent and a storyline. Even the head coaches have a history as Andy Reid again takes on his former assistant and defensive coordinator in Sean McDermott.

We’re also very curious if and how Cherie and Jessey’s secret (well, it was published in People, which had exclusive photos, so “secret” is kind of a stretch) marriage is covered. The pair were engaged for a mere week before they got hitched....
