Sylvania Smart Lighting Line Gains HomeKit-Enabled Flex Strip and Soft White Bulb


LEDVANCE today announced an expansion to its line of HomeKit-enabled Sylvania lights, introducing the Indoor Flex Strip Full Color and the Soft White A19 Bulb, both of which are joining the existing HomeKit-compatible A19 Full Color Bulb.

The Soft White A19 Bulb is less expensive than the Full Color Bulb at $26, and it offers only a soft white shade instead of multiple colors. It is an 800 lumen bulb that is dimmable, and it works with any lamp that is compatible with A19 bulbs.

Sylvania’s Full Color Flex Strip is a 400 lumen LED light strip that’s designed to be used as accent lighting under shelves, along bookcases, under cabinets, and anywhere else light strips might work. It supports millions of colors and has a 1900K-6500K adjustable color temperature range.


The Sylvania lights connect to a HomeKit setup over Bluetooth, and thus do not require Wi-Fi or a hub to function. With HomeKit compatibility, both can be controlled via the Home app or through Siri, and they can be combined with other HomeKit accessories in scenes.

Sylvania’s new products can be pre-ordered from Amazon and will ship out later this month. The A19 Soft White Bulb is priced at $26, while the Full Color LED Flex Strip is priced at $60.

Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 11.1 to Developers


Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming iOS 11.1 update to developers, one week after releasing the second iOS 11.1 beta and a month after releasing the iOS 11 update to the public.

Registered developers can download the iOS 11 beta from Apple’s Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center.

iOS 11.1 introduces a range of new Unicode 10 emoji like crazy face, pie, pretzel, t-rex, vampire, exploding head, face vomiting, shushing face, love you gesture, brain, scarf, zebra, giraffe, fortune cookie, pie, hedgehog, and more.


Several emoji have also seen some small design changes in iOS 11.1, including the dolphin, octopus, bee, snail, and whale characters, among others. The new designs are more detailed and realistic than existing designs.

The update also brings back the 3D Touch App Switcher gesture that has been missing from iOS 11 since its release. With the return of the gesture, iPhone users can once again 3D Touch at the left edge of the display to bring up the multitasking App Switcher interface.

A few other small features are included in the iOS 11.1 beta. The built-in keyboard in iOS 11.1 now offers up multiple emoji symbols when using an emoji-related word like “cake” or “happy,” with each of the suggestions displayed at the end of the predictive text suggestions.

There’s also an updated camera icon under Restrictions, a new animation when tapping the status bar to scroll upwards, and a faster unlock animation.

iOS 11 marks a major update to the operating system with systemwide design tweaks, a new Lock screen experience, a revamped Control Center, ARKit, new app features, and an entirely new interface for the iPad that includes a Dock, Drag and Drop support, and a redesigned App Switcher for better than ever multitasking.

Apple Seeds Third Beta of watchOS 4.1 to Developers


Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming watchOS 4 update to developers for testing purposes, a week after releasing the second watchOS 4.1 beta and a month after releasing the new watchOS 4 operating system to the public.

Once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Apple Developer Center, the new watchOS 4 beta can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to General –> Software update.

To install the update, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery, it must be placed on the charger, and it has to be in range of the iPhone.

watchOS 4.1 brings support for streaming Apple Music content directly to the Apple Watch Series 3 over LTE and it introduces a new Radio app with access to Beats 1 and other Apple Music radio stations.

Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
The Music app on the watch looks the same, offering up access to the Music Library, recently played songs, playlists, and Apple Music mixes, but now all Apple Music content can be streamed over an LTE connection and doesn’t need to be downloaded to the device. watchOS 4.1 also adds a new Wi-Fi toggle for turning off Wi-Fi to force the Apple Watch Series 3 to use LTE and it displays the Wi-Fi SSID so users can see the Wi-Fi Network an Apple Watch is connected to.

Support for Apple Music streaming appears to be the main feature in the new watchOS 4.1 update, but Apple is also introducing a range of new Unicode 10 emoji characters that include vomiting face, head exploding, mermaid, zombie, hedgehog, fairy, broccoli, and more.

watchOS 4 is a significant refresh of the watchOS operating system introducing new watch faces, including a personalized Siri face, improvements to the Workout app, support for integration with gym equipment, an Apple News app, a vertical Dock, and a new Flashlight feature in the Control Center.

For more on what’s included in watchOS 4, check out our watchOS 4 roundup.

Apple Seeds Third Beta of tvOS 11.1 to Developers


Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming tvOS 11.1 update to developers for testing purposes, a week after seeding the second tvOS 11.1 update and a month after releasing tvOS 11 to the public.

Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the tvOS 11.1 beta can be downloaded onto the Apple TV via a profile that’s installed using Xcode on the Mac.

The tvOS 11.1 update appears to focus on bug fixes and performance improvements rather than outward-facing design changes, and no new features were found in the first two betas. Should anything notable surface in the third tvOS 11.1 beta, we’ll update this post.

tvOS 11 introduces features like full support for AirPods, automatic switching between light and dark mode based on local time, Home screen syncing options designed to keep multiple Apple TVs in a single household in sync, and new background modes and notification support.

The Mobicase is a laptop bag that doubles as a mobile desk


Why it matters to you

The Mobicase features an ergonomic laptop stand that allows you to comfortably use your laptop anywhere you’d like.

As they get ever thinner and ever lighter, today’s laptops are also becoming more mobile than ever. But all that mobility is not very useful if operating a laptop away from a desk is something of a chore. After all, your lap isn’t the most ergonomic place for your computer, and with all the heat your machine exudes, it’s certainly not very comfortable either. Enter the Mobicase, a new minimalistic laptop bag that not only serves as a carrying case for your laptop, but a mobile desk as well. Because if you’re taking your laptop anywhere you go, you ought to be able to use it, too.

Featuring an ergonomic laptop stand that is actually built into the case itself, the Mobicase’s workstation is height adjustable up to eight inches. This, the team says, relieves users of back pain, and can also help to improve posture. Plus, the stand allows for maximum airflow, so you don’t have to worry about your machine overheating. Even with the stand, the Mobicase is lightweight, so all you really have to worry about is the heft of your laptop itself.

Furthermore, this laptop case has a slash-proof, high-density EVA rubber shell with shock protection, as well as DWR-coated water-resistant fabric. That means you can feel safe about bringing the Mobicase and its contents just about anywhere you’d like. Plus, a second compression-molded EVA interior sleeve provides additional protection for your tablet device, or can double as a letter storage compartment. Thanks to the Mobicase’s organizer panel, you can quickly access essentials, like a charger, your phone, or your wallet. There’s also a dedicated wireless keyboard holder and self-closing mesh pockets.

“As the trend toward mobile working continues, we’re seeing workers spending more and more hours hunched over their laptops in cafes, libraries, co-working hubs and airport lounges, adding unnecessary strain to their backs and necks and putting them at risk of injuries and back pain,” said Tim McKenzie, Managing Director at Rovingwork, the company behind Mobicase. “This is why we’ve created the Mobicase, to help people stay organised and work effectively, without damaging their back/neck, no matter where their work takes them.”

The Mobicase comes in two sizes — the 13-inch case is available for pre-order starting at $89, while the 16-inch version is available for $94.

Google Play helps fight hunger on World Food Day, donates proceeds


Why it matters to you

All proceeds made from specific in-app purchases will be donated to World Food Program USA.

In honor of World Food Day on Monday, October 16, Google Play launched a week-long campaign to raise funds and awareness for the cause. Google Play will donate 100 percent of revenue — made from in-app purchases in the “Apps and Games Against Hunger” collection — to World Food Program USA.

The UN World Food Programme consists of an international community that is committed to not only ending hunger but achieving food security and improved nutrition by 2030. While we do grow enough food to feed every human being on the planet, 815 million people still go to bed hungry every day.

You have the option to choose from 12 different popular apps and games — available in North America and South America. From Monday until October 21, all proceeds from designated in-app purchases made from the “Apps and Games Against Hunger” collection will be donated. Among the list include Dragon City, Sling Kong, Cooking Fever, and more.

Within the collection is ShareTheMeal – Help children, a charity app by the WFP. Using your smartphone, you can help feed a child with a 50 cent donation at a time. The app launched almost two years ago and garnered 81,000 new users within only a few days of being live.

At the time, the beneficiaries of the donations were Syrian refugee children living in Jordan. The children received necessary and vital nutrition each day, as part of WFP’s school meals program. In trial runs, ShareTheMeal had proven to be extremely effective — providing more than 1.7 millions meals for children in Lesotho throughout the month of June 2015 alone.

The app also encourages transparency when it comes to giving and users can follow progress within the app as well as track where their donations are going. As part of its most recent update, the app now includes a feature called Camera Giving — which takes a photo of your food, places a #ShareTheMeal filter, and allows you to share your meal.

With this current campaign, Google Play aims to fight hunger, one app at a time while simultaneously bringing attention to a serious issue. World Food Program USA is only one branch of contributors who support WPF and its mission to feed families in need across the globe.

Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro hands-on review


Research Center:
Huawei Mate 10

Huawei is trying to crack into the U.S. high-end smartphone market again, and its ultimate offering — a phone that will compete with the likes of the iPhone X and the Galaxy Note 8 — is the Mate 10 Pro. It’s a gorgeous, polished smartphone that utilizes this year’s popular “bezel-less” design trend, with skimpy edges flanking the screen. It packs a lot of features we’ll dive into in our hands-on review, but there are some questionable decisions that have us scratching our heads.

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro isn’t the only phone the Chinese company announced Monday, October 16, at its event in Germany. There’s also the Huawei Mate 10, which carries a similar design to the Pro, but with several key differences. The regular Mate 10 will not be coming to the U.S.

Mature design, colorful display

Last year’s Mate 9 looks incredibly boring and bland next to the new Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. The all-glass rear looks much more mature and minimalist, with a beautiful “reflective stripe” that runs horizontally over the dual cameras. The stripe is supposed to catch light differently throughout the day, which will be interesting to see once we’ve had a chance to use the phone for a longer period of time. Like the Mate 9, there will be a Porsche design variant of the Mate 10, and the reflective stripe will run vertically with the dual cameras in an attempt to mimic a racing stripe.

Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

There’s not much else on the rear, other than the Huawei logo and the fingerprint sensor below the dual camera setup on the Mate 10 Pro. This is one of a few design differences between the two devices. The regular Mate 10’s fingerprint sensor sits on the front.

In our brief time with the devices, we did notice a lot of scratches on the glass back, which is a consequence of using glass over metal. There’s no wireless charging, so it’s purely for aesthetics. We recommend slapping a case on the phone.

Flip the phones over and it’s easy to notice that they have slightly different dimensions. The Pro features a 6-inch AMOLED screen, and the regular Mate 10 has a 5.9-inch LCD screen. The Mate 10 Pro has an 18:9 aspect ratio, it’s a hair taller and narrower, and it’s easier to hold. The normal Mate 10 has a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, and it’s noticeably wider. It was tough to access the other edge of the screen when holding the phone with one hand. The 18:9 aspect ratio on the Mate 10 Pro means it has some handy tricks like the ability to display multiple columns in supported apps. All the native apps on the device are supported, but it’s not clear yet if there’s third-party support.

The all-glass rear looks much more mature and minimalist

The edges, or bezels, around the screen are slightly smaller on the Pro, though you’re stuck with the Huawei brand name on the bottom edge. There’s no branding on the front of the Mate 10, as the fingerprint sensor sits on the bottom.

The AMOLED screen on the Pro has an unusual 2,160 x 1,080 pixel resolution, while the Mate 10 has an LCD screen, but a higher 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. It’s odd to think the bigger Pro model has a lower screen-resolution, but we didn’t see any problems with the screen. Both were sharp and colorful, with inkier blacks on the Pro model, and an overall brighter screen on the Mate 10. We were partial to the AMOLED display on the Pro, but we’ll have to test the devices more thoroughly for the review. You’ll be happy to hear that both screens support HDR10, which means you’ll see greater color depth when watching HDR-supported content on services like Netflix and YouTube.

Overall, we think the new Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro look beautiful. They’re stylish, sleek, and there’s also a brilliant blue model we’re hoping comes to the U.S. But there are two final notes on design that will lift your spirits and then pull them down. First, the Mate 10 Pro is IP76 water-resistant — like the iPhone 8 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, you can take it underwater up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. That’s great, but it’s a shame there’s absolutely no IP-rating for the regular Mate 10. The second is that there’s no headphone jack or MicroSD card slot on the Pro, but the Mate 10 has both. To be fair, the Mate 10 Pro comes in a single 128GB storage option, and the Mate 10 starts at 64GB.

There will be a USB Type-C to 3.5-mm headphone jack adapter in the box of the Mate 10 Pro, but it’s a shame there is no headphone jack. Well, at least Huawei will have a wireless headset or earbuds alternative you could buy. And the phone has to use the latest Bluetooth 5 technology, right? Wrong. Huawei has decided to go with Bluetooth 4.2 for both Mate 10 devices, even though every new flagship at this level packs Bluetooth 5, which offers better range and faster data transfer speeds. The reason? Huawei didn’t think version 5 was an important enough addition. We’re perplexed, too.

Neural processing, Android 8.0 Oreo

Both the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro are powered by Huawei’s all-new Kirin 970 processor, which the company says offers a 20 percent bump in performance over the Kirin 960 found in the Mate 9. The Pro gets 6GB of RAM, and the regular Mate 10 has 4GB.

In our brief time with them, both phones seemed to be relatively quick, but not as speedy as phones like the Google Pixel 2 or the iPhone 8. Swiping through the interface and opening apps was fast and problem-free, but on the Mate 10 in particular, we detected a delay from the time we pressed the power button to when the screen turned on. Tapping away on the camera shutter button, we saw a small amount of shutter lag that could affect camera performance. We’ll have to continue to test performance in our review.

Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

Both devices also feature a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which Huawei claims will help process artificially intelligent queries much faster. This allows the overall software to be smarter. For example, if you’re watching a movie or playing a game and you receive a notification, the phone will suggest swapping to split-screen mode (via the notification), in case you don’t want to leave the game or movie. It can also propose switching to eye-comfort mode, which removes blue hues from the screen, when the phone detects that you’re in a low-light environment. There’s also a specially built Microsoft Translator app that utilizes the NPU to process real-time translations when you point the camera at text. It was impressively fast, and Huawei said the Chinese to English translations were accurate (we’ll take their word).

Keep in mind that Huawei’s take on Oreo looks quite different.

The Huawei Mate 9 currently runs EMUI 5.1, which is based on Android 7.1 Nougat. Naturally, you might think both Mate 10s run EMUI 6.0. Nope. To align with the latest and greatest version of Android — 8.0 Oreo, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro run EMUI 8.0. Considering LG’s V30 just became available and released with Android Nougat, it’s nice to see Huawei going with the most recently launched version of Android. You can read about all the new features in Oreo here, but keep in mind that Huawei’s take looks quite different.

We didn’t get a chance to check out EMUI 8 in its entirety, but one of the most notable additions is a floating navigation circle that sits on the home screen. The idea is that to embrace the full edge-to-edge design, you may not like the fact that the Android navigation buttons take up a sizeable chunk of the bottom edge. You can toggle it off in the settings and opt for the floating circle, which can be placed anywhere on the screen. Tap it to go back, and press and hold it to go home. Tap and hold it and swipe it to the left or right to access your recent apps. It’s neat, though we’d have preferred a more subtle circle.

Both devices pack a massive 4,000mAh battery that Huawei said should keep the phone running for two days. There’s Huawei Supercharge on board, which should offer up a little more than 50 percent with just a 30-minute charge using the included cable.

Capable, smart camera

As is tradition, Huawei is continuing its partnership with Leica on the Mate 10. Both phones have the exact same Leica-branded camera setup — a 20-megapixel monochrome camera and a 12-megapixel RGB camera. What’s unique here is how they both have a f/1.6 aperture — a world’s first. The first smartphone to have a f/1.6 aperture was the LG V30, but Huawei is the first to use it on both cameras. It should help with low light, as it allows the camera to take in more light.

Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

Sadly, unlike the Galaxy Note 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus, you’ll only find optical image stabilization on the RGB camera. As we mentioned earlier, we did notice some slight shutter lag when we snapped a few photos, but we’ll have to continue testing to make sure.

The Portrait Mode images — where a blur effect is added behind a particular subject — looked great, as did some other shots we quickly snapped of our surroundings. We do have some concerns with one of the highlight features of the camera, which works in tandem with the NPU.

Huawei’s camera utilizes the NPU to identify the subject of the photograph.

Huawei’s camera utilizes the NPU to identify the subject of the photograph. It’s not like Samsung’s Bixby Vision or Google Lens, where it tries to give you information about the subject. Instead, the artificial intelligence will identify and tweak the image to certain presets it has been taught. For example, if it detects you’re photographing food, it will try to boost the saturation of the food to make it look more appealing. It can detect the difference between plants and flowers, knowing to work on the greens or make sure the flowers pop over everything else. Based on some sample shots we were shown, we fear it could end up oversaturating some images. We’ll have to play around with this more.

We were still impressed at how the camera could identify what we were photographing in real time so quickly. There will be 13 presets at launch, with more to come later.

Huawei Mate 10 Compared To

LG V30

Sony Xperia XZ1

Huawei Honor 9

Google Pixel 2

Essential Phone (PH-1)

Moto X4

Asus Zenfone AR

ZTE Blade Z Max

Moto Z2 Force

Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom

Moto Z2 Play

Motorola Moto E4

Huawei Nova 2 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S5

Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition

There’s an 8-megapixel on the front with an f/2.0 aperture, and Huawei said it uses the NPU and AI to help take better selfies with improved bokeh (blur effect), though we didn’t get a chance to play around with this feature.

Desktop mode

One of the more unique capabilities of both the Mate 10 and the Mate 10 Pro is how you can use it in a desktop mode. All you need is a USB Type-C to HDMI cable, which you use to connect the phone to a TV or monitor. You’ll immediately see a desktop version of Android on the big screen, but one of the benefits is the phone screen does not turn off — you can keep using your phone, and nothing will change on the desktop.

When connected to a TV, you can turn the phone screen into a touchpad to control the cursor. Not all Android apps will support a desktop format, but you’ll still be able to see and open anything. What’s neat is if a keyboard and mouse is connected to a monitor, you can use those for input controls on the TV. If you simply want to mirror your phone screen, you can do that, too.

We were impressed during the brief time we used this feature. It’s clearly attacking Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Note 8, both of which offer a desktop mode — but the catch is you need Samsung’s pricey DeX dock station. You also can’t use the desktop mode and the phone at the same time with Samsung’s implementation. We’re looking forward to seeing how well Huawei’s attempt works.

Price and availability

The Huawei Mate 10 Pro will cost 800 euros (about $945), and it will be available in the U.S. starting in mid-November, while the Mate 10 will cost 700 euros (about $827), and it’ll be available internationally in late October. That’s European pricing, so the Pro may cost a little less in the U.S.

There will be a Porsche Design version of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, and it will cost 1,395 euros and will come with 256GB of internal storage. It will not come to the U.S.

So far, we’re excited for the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. We’re sad to see the Pro missing the headphone jack — but so do the Google Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 — but the omission of Bluetooth 5 is confusing, as is the lower resolution on the Pro. Still, they look stylish and attractive, and we can’t wait to get our hands on them to give them a full workout.

Sony brings back robot dog Aibo with smart home features


Why it matters to you

Sony is raising its game in the smart home hub industry with a rehashing of Aibo, a robot dog with more than 60 emotions.

Sony is looking to recapture some of its old magic by revitalizing a project that has been dead and brought back to life more times than we can count — the smart dog Aibo.

The robotic dog has been around since 1999, serving as an alternative to a live animal that can bark, wag its tail, play fetch, and perform a number of other simple commands. The idea made sense, as Sony assumed people would rather shell out the dough for a fake dog over a real one who eats real food (and leaves real droppings).

Aibo failed to gain much traction early on, however, as the dog’s features got repetitive quickly. And the product wasn’t able to deliver the same level of companionship that a real dog brings to the relationship.

The project was once again resurrected in 2015 with more advanced capabilities, including having the ability to imitate up to 60 different emotions. Nevertheless, the $2,000 price tag was a tad too high for many.

Now Sony’s Aibo is coming back to meet current consumer demands in the form of a part-robotic dog, part-smarthome hub. The company hopes that the product will serve as a competitor to Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home.

The project is currently slated for a spring 2018 release. Its functionalities will include the ability to perform all the same features as the robotic dog that some people fell in love with, plus it can tell you the weather, the time, set an alarm and more.

Not much has been unveiled regarding how Aibo will serve as a smart home hub, but it will likely serve a similar purpose to the Amazon Echo: taking voice commands, connecting with other smart devices in your home, playing music, streaming video, turning on the lights, and more.

Perhaps the new Aibo will serve more as a guard dog, informing its owner about the presence of an intruder. The potential for Sony’s idea is great as the robot dog will be open source, allowing software developers to improve Aibo’s skills.

Sony will reportedly release a number of other consumer offerings beyond Aibo that will help the company become relevant once again with products similar to the Echo, Samsung SmartThings and smart Apple devices.

California announces new policies for autonomous and self-driving cars


Why it matters to you

The new rules that remove human pilots from autonomous car testing brings true self-driving cars one step closer to reality.

California officials recently announced a new list of revisions for rules regarding the testing of self-driving vehicles following a series of concerns raised by technology experts and automakers. This seems to be a follow-up to earlier announcements in March, after the state of California opened up its legislation to public input.

According to the announcement, the new rule revisions will now permit automakers and tech firms to test autonomous vehicles without needing a human in the driver seat. Additionally, public use of vehicles equipped with self-driving capabilities is now allowed as long as passengers are not paying any extra fees required for their use.

The new revisions are scheduled to go into effect by June 2018 and were first proposed to the public this past March. The companies behind the new rules include Waymo and Google’s parent company’s self-driving car unit, Alphabet Inc. Tesla, Ford, General Motors, Apple, and many others shared their input at committee meetings in April with the state of California, backing the suggestions.

So far, the new regulations apply to autonomous passenger vehicles and does not include commercial vehicles weighing at least 10,000 pounds or more.

California agreed to offer permits for up to two years, under the situation that all vehicles must abide by state laws, “except when necessary for the safety of the vehicle’s occupants,” or others who share the road.
