What week we had. GTA 6 I obtained a new trailer that looks impressive, Sonos and Ikea sadly finished its audio association, and Sony made fun of its new flagship headphones.
To catch up with all this and more travel down to see the seven largest technological news of the week with fast fire fragments in each and links to the biggest story if you want to know more.
When you’re finished, be sure to watch seven new films and television programs to broadcast this weekend (May 9).
7. Premium YouTube began to see double
YouTube began piloting a YouTube premium membership in two people in selected countries this week (namely France, India, Taiwan and Hong Kong).
It will allow two people to divide a subscription at a pace that is cheaper than two individual plans, or divide a family plan. In France, an individual plan costs € 12.99 per month and a family plan is € 23.99, while a plan of two people is € 19.99, so we hope it costs around $ 18.99 / £ 16.99 / AU $ 26.99 in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Apparently, this plan is part of continuous YouTube experiments that seek to find “new ways to provide greater flexibility and value to our YouTube premium subscribers.” Although it has not yet been seen if this will cause YouTube to be a better value proposal.
6. The Netflix home page obtained its largest update
Netflix finally acknowledges that it is no longer just for television movies and programs, redesigning its home screen to accommodate live events and games in a way that should be better connected with real -time events.
It is also finally entering the generative AI in, perhaps, the most intelligent way possible: the search. You can now find your next binge using natural language consultations.
There are other major changes such as tags on title images and a general reorganization of interface elements. It is too early to say if everyone loves the new Netflix.
5. Whoop revealed two new promising wearables
After four years without hardware, Whoop has presented not one but two new wearables by 2025. The 5.0 Whoop and Whoop MG are actually the same device, the latter a variant of “medical grade” with more intensive health characteristics such as ECG, blood pressure and more. Wearables look great and have a 14 -day battery life, as well as a new design.
Unfortunately, there is also a new price structure that means that the best features are reserved for those who pay the highest price. Now there is a cheaper option and a more expensive for the previous offer, but the 5.0 Whoop has some disabled features at the cheapest price level.
It is a pill difficult to swallow for users who have waited four years to see the new Whoop wearables, but with Garmin and others that carry subscriptions to another level, it is the address in which the industry seems to be directed without remorse.
4. Sonos and Ikea finished their unlikely audio duet
Earlier this week, Sonos and Ikea announced that they would separate after six years of collaboration in audio Homware Tech, which includes the popular Symfonisk shelf and lamp speakers. In an email sent to the Verge, the Sonos spokesman Erin Pategas, gave the news and revealed that the current Symfonisk products is being eliminated worldwide in all Ikea locations, without plans to launch future products.
Although the future of Sonos and Ikea will cease to exist, Sonos has offered the assurance that existing products in their Symfonisk range will still receive software updates despite the interruption of the association. The news is a big surprise since we have been very fond of Symfonisk speakers, but with the unpredictable future of the new tariff laws that are coming over companies, this is a measure that Sonos has had to carefully considered.
3. Microsoft announced two new surface devices
Microsoft expanded its surface line, with the new 13-inch surface portable computer and the 12-inch Surface Pro device using the Snapdragon X Plus processor. The most important thing, the first is the lighter and thinner surface laptop to date. The battery life has also been updated for both, provided that the extra time that is far from your desk or power supply is needed.
It is worth noting that these new devices are much cheaper on this occasion; The 13 -inch Surface laptop begins at $ 899 / £ 899 / AU $ 1,699, while Surface Pro begins at $ 799 / £ 799 / AU $ 1,499, a large fall in the previous versions for both, from $ 1,099 / AU $ 1.899. They are available for pre-traveled at this time.
2. We have a launch date for the next Sony flagcular headphones
Three years have passed since Sony debuted its high-end wireless headphones, the Wh-000xm5. But after numerous leaks, the technological giant has confirmed exactly when we will see its successors, on May 15, next week.
What can we expect from them? Rumors so far aim to improve noise cancellation and audio processing, plus the return of a hinge design that Sony jumped on the current model. On the negative side, there will probably be a small price increase. But despite that, on May 15 (or May 16, if it is in Australia), it is a date for your newspaper if you are on the market for some premium and friendly cans with trips.
1. GTA 6 obtained a new trailer
Attend
GTA 6 He broke the Internet this week with a new trailer centered on Vice City and the game partners in Crime, Jason and Lucia. But apart from the teasers of history, it looks incredible.
We have already called one of the most beautiful games of this generation: it seems that the leagues ahead of what other studies have achieved, and the most amazing of the entire trailer was apparently captured completely in a PS5.
Clearly impressed many others, since the trailer has accumulated more than 94 million visits in three days (at the time of writing) and the song’s spotify transmissions. Hot together which appeared largely in the trailer increased by 182,000% in the hours after the launch of the trailer.
All we have to do now is to wait a little more than a year until May 26, 2026 so that we can play it for ourselves.
