Every week is a week occupied in technology, and the last seven days have not been the exception. In case you have not had the opportunity to visit Techradar every day this week (we forgive it), these are the most important stories you need to know.
There is much to happen here: more advances in AI, a new Bluetooth speaker number one and promises of futuristic devices on the way. From phones to satellites, there is a varied selection of stories below.
Once you have achieved all the time, you will be up to date with all the comings and goings in technology since last weekend, and if the next few days they also seem busy, do not worry, because we will have another Icymi for you this time next week.
8. Netflix revealed the date for Tudum showcase
Netflix has a great content showcase every year called Tudum (the sound that the Netflix application makes when it is launched) and now we know that the extravagance of 2025 will take place late on May 31 in the US. UU. And early June 1 in the United Kingdom and Australia.
There are many reasons to tune in, based on the Tudum 2025 trailer. We should receive updates about some of the largest properties that Netflix has, including Strangest things, Squid gameand Wednesdayas well as the third film in the Knives franchise.
7. We review the best Bluetooth speaker in the world
JBL has a very strong reputation when it comes to portable bluetooth speakers, and the new flip 7 only improves that reputation even more: he only won five stars of five in our JBL Flip 7 review in depth, and our writers really do not give that score easily.
The speaker has greatly impressed us in terms of its design, construction quality and battery life, and then, of course, there is also the beautifully overwhelming and detailed sound. It offers a much larger sound landscape and much better than you would expect, given its compact dimensions.
6. Nothing launched another impressive budget phone
Nothing continues to launch devices that perfectly balance performance and price, with the last device to call our eye being the CMF Phone 2 Pro. His for only $ 279 / £ 219 (around AU $ 460) next week, it seems to be one of the best cheap phones of 2025.
That is not all, because nothing also revealed the Buds 2 of CMF, Buds 2 Plus and Buds 2a, which again shame the most expensive devices in terms of value for money. These new devices not only have an attractive price, but also offer elegant and striking designs.
5. OpenAi set the ‘annoying’ personality of chatgpt
It is always refreshing to see a technology company admit that an error has been made, and having noticed that the personality of GPT-4O had become “too Sycophant-y and annoying”, the Operai CEO, Sam Altman, promised that the solutions were implemented to correct the problems this week.
The core of the problem has been that Chatgpt has been trying too much of being human, with too many flattering comments and too many false expressions. It turns out that most of us like our classmates to admit their artificiality.
4. Starlink’s Satellite Internet received a tentor ‘free’ offer
Starlink efforts to try to connect the most cut and remote parts of the world to the Internet continue, and the company’s last offer renounces the hardware configuration rate for new subscribers, provided that they commit themselves for at least 12 months to the satellite service.
That is a considerable savings of $ 349 in the United States, for example, but not all are eligible to get the money. To start, it is only available in “selected markets” (see the Starlink website to see if it qualifies), and there are also some additional terms and attached conditions.
3. GTA 6 was delayed until 2026
Let’s say it is not like that: the most anticipated video game of recent years will no longer be released this year. Rockstar Games had promised that we would see Grand Theft Auto 6 In 2025, but now he announced that the title will be delayed and announced on May 26, 2026.
The reasons are the usual ones for this type of delay, that fans “expect and deserve” the best possible experience, etc. Next year we could find that GTA 6 Fans really deserve to wait a little more than May, but that remains to be seen.
The smart glasses made by Meta and Ray-Ban have helped boost this gadget form factor towards the mainstream, so we are excited to see what comes next: and what comes next will apparently be several new versions of the specifications, arriving at the end of this year.
The chief goal Mark Zuckerberg entered the record in a profit report to say that the “expanded” range would expand “in 2025 and offer some” new technological capabilities. ” We also have some ideas about what Zuckerberg could mean and what improvements we could see.
Chatgpt announced a great update to his online purchase skills this week, with the idea that he can have a natural and interactive conversation with AI about the products he wants and the budget he has, and obtain some appropriate purchase options in return.
We have already tried the new functions, and have the potential to completely transform the way we buy online, assuming that it trusts the AI to choose the right items for you. If you prefer to make yourself more of yourself, you may still prefer the old ways.
