Theres been a lot of talk about augmented reality tech lately, especially with the unveiling of Snapchat Spectacles and Meta Orion. Those are both highly expensive and unobtainable to consumers but there is a growing market of affordable glasses, that provide some of the benefits of AR glasses at a much more palatable price tag. The RayNeo Air 2s are one of them, and Ill be providing some of my thoughts.How they feelFirst things first, these are a $399 pair of glasses (though theyre currently on sale for $319) so they definitely feel cheap. The front is a single sheet of plastic and doesnt really look like a pair of glasses, other than the general shape. The frames are definitely very flexible, and its easy to bend them in the other direction.On one hand, that means its a one size fits all product, which is cool because you dont have to worry about sizing while buying them. On the other hand, it means that if it doesnt fit you well, you wont have a great time. It was hard to get them to stay on my face perfectly without needing consistent adjustment. Changing the nose bridge (there are multiple included in the box) helped a little bit but overall Id say it didnt really fit me well. Your mileage will obviously vary there.Though the glasses may feel cheap, the unboxing experience certainly wasnt. RayNeo (a sub-brand of TCL) definitely nailed the packaging. The glasses also come with a quality carrying case, making it easy to throw in a backpack without worry.ExperienceAt this price point, theres no way to pack an on board battery or any compute which means you have to always use them wired with a USB-C port. This is fine, though it does mean youll mostly be using it stationary. Its hard to see through the displays, so I wouldnt recommend trying to use these while in motion, though you can certainly do it.The actual display panels are pretty good. They offer up to 5000 nits of brightness, feature a 120Hz refresh rate, and offer good colors, thanks to Sonys microOLED panels. The displays are 19201080 per eye, which isnt anything incredible, but theyre certainly good enough for reading smaller text. RayNeo says that these offer a 201 display size from 6 meters away, making it similar to a theater experience.Ive found myself mostly using these for lying down in bed and watching a YouTube video or show. Its neat for that, and certainly provides a nicer visual experience than watching on your phone directly. If you have a good TV though, these obviously wont compare.There is one thing that these are missing though, and thats a cover for the displays. Other AR glasses Ive used in the past, such as the Xreal Airs, have offered this. A cover is immensely helpful when you want something more immersive and want to block out any light from passing through. Its just a little piece of plastic that clips over the front of the glasses. Itd be simple to include. The actual glasses are pretty dim, so its not like youre getting blinded by light behind you. It just could be better if there was a cover.Why these make senseI think wired augmented reality glasses make a ton of sense to pursue. You can cut a lot of cost by not needing to include any sort of compute power or an on-board battery. Plus, youre able to use these as a display output with anything that can do USB-C video output, such as a Nintendo Switch, making them super flexible.The main downside here is that you dont have a proper operating system. RayNeo does sell an accessory called the Pocket TV, which allows you to run the Google TV operating system while its plugged in. The accessory also doubles as a remote.Apple is also reportedly exploring a product similar to this, essentially selling a Vision headset that feeds off of your iPhone with the headset really only containing the displays. For the sake of cost, this approach definitely makes some level of sense.My verdictOverall, these are a neat pair of glasses to enhance the media experience on your iPhone, especially if thats your main way of watching content. The displays are very bright, and great to look at. Its speakers are pretty nice too. For $319, theyre certainly not the best in every regard, but if something like this product sounds appealing to you, its an easy buy as long as they fit you well. Plus, unlike a standalone headset, you wont have to worry about them being dead when you finally want to use them.Buy RayNeo Air 2s on Amazon for $319 with on page coupon (normally $399)Buy RayNeo Pocket TV on Amazon for $179Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

Starring Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife) as Lucy, Nikesh Patel (Starstruck) as a kind detective and Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as a suspicious character, the Devil's Hour is a twisty series that eventually delivers satisfying answers. A bonus? A third and final season is on the way. Niko Tavernise/Prime Video Dead Ringers (2023) Oscar winner Rachel Weisz plays not one, but two main characters in Dead Ringers, Prime Video's version of David Cronenberg's 1988 psychological thriller. The darkly comedic series follows identical twin doctors pursuing their goal of opening a birthing and research center. Spend some time with these unconventional sisters, you'll want to see the whole thing through. York Tillyer/Amazon Studios Chloe (2022) Led by a stellar Erin Doherty, this British thriller will swallow your attention.

When a woman she follows obsessively on Instagram suddenly dies, she attempts to uncover more details, once again posing as someone else.

Amazon Studios Homecoming (2018-2020) Season 2 of Homecoming didn't quite find its feet, but season 1 hit the ground running. Julia Roberts stars in this psychological thriller about an army rehabilitation facility run by questionable owners. Using an effective, mystery-building narrative that covers two timelines, Homecoming is high on tension and paranoia as it reveals what the facility's true purpose is. Fun fact: The series uses theactualscores of movies from Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and more. Fantasy Jonathan Prime/Prime Video My Lady Jane (2024) Lady Jane Grey, the Queen of England for just nine days in 1553, is the subject of this Prime Video series. The show doesn't stick closely to the events of her life, weaving in fantasy elements like humans who can turn into animals and imagining a world where she met a fate other than execution. Based on a book of the same name and blending comedy, action, romance and more, My Lady Jane is a wild, enjoyable ride you won't find in a history book. Prime Video I'm a Virgo (2023- ) Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) created this surreal series about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a 13-foot-tall Black man who leaves home for the first time at 19. The gentle giant from Oakland, California, experiences friendship, love and more milestones in this coming-of-age story, which brings humor, social commentary and undeniable originality to the small screen. Ben Rothstein/Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022- ) Haven't watched Prime Video's buzzy, wildly expensive fantasy series yet? The Rings of Power brings incredible visuals, a sprawling cast and a sense of adventure to the streaming service. It's set thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings, and in part follows a young version of the character Galadriel, who's played by Morfydd Clark. Amazon Studios The Legend of Vox Machina (2022- ) Buckle up for a new animated series that centers on a group of boisterous, belching misfits called Vox Machina. Based on Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role (you don't have to be familiar with that to enjoy this show), The Legend of Vox Machina sees its protagonists go from being broke bar-hoppers to accepting a mission to stop evil brewing in Exandria. We're further introduced to the characters in a musical number that occurs about halfway through the first episode.That's right, I said musical number. You'll be down for every element this show throws at you. Why would anyone choose these misfits to fight for the kingdom? "Well... they do have a bear," one royal decision-maker concedes. Superhero Brooke Palmer/Prime Video Gen V (2023- ) Gen V is a spin-off of Prime Video's hit violent and satirical series The Boys. Despite efforts to keep her head down, freshman Marie Moreau gets swept up in a mystery at Godolkin University, a prestigious but shadowy school for superheroes. The new series' strong characters and fresh story establish it as something pretty super in its own right. Another reason to watch? Season 4 of The Boys picks up after the events of the first Gen V season. Amazon Studios Invincible (2021- ) For those who aren't a fan of cartoons, Invincible could be your converter, up there with other adult cartoons like BoJack Horseman and Rick and Morty. Based on a comic book from Robert Kirkman, the creator of the Walking Dead, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson and his training to become a superhero just like his father, who happens to be the most powerful superhero on the planet. Episodes run long at nearly 50 minutes, connected into one big, blood-spattered story. A subversive series with a huge cast featuring Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons, Invincible will engross you in its smart animated world. Amazon Studios The Boys (2019- ) The Boys stormed Amazon with its ultra-violent tale of antihero vigilantes seeking revenge against the world's most beloved superheroes. These heroes aren't what they seem: Their corporate overlords cover up their shady personal lives, including sexual harassment and the odd assassination. With social commentary, black comedy and pops of gore, The Boys takes a thrilling and unapologetic step away from the family-friendly genre. Crime Shane Mahood/Amazon Studios Reacher (2022- ) Adapted from Lee Child's best-selling Jack Reacher book series, Reacher's eight-episode first season packs a muscular punch. Reacher, a brawny former US Army military policeman played by Alan Ritchson, arrives in a small town and is promptly arrested for a murder he didn't commit. Armed with killer strength and some solid detective skills, the protagonist eventually fends off an array of enemies while uncovering a criminal conspiracy. A treat for crime thriller fans and lovers of Child's novels. Amazon Studios Bosch (2014-2021) This seven-season police procedural, inspired by Michael Connelly novels, gets everything right for old-fashioned detective drama. We follow Los Angeles police detective Harry Bosch, played by Titus Welliver, who's haunted by the death of his mother. While catching serial killers and keeping his family safe, he investigates her murder. Functional and no-nonsense, Bosch provides steady mystery with an equally steady lead. Documentary Prime Video LuLaRich (2021) In LulaRich, the directors of Hulu's Fyre Festival documentary explore the dark side of the multilevel marketing company LuLaRoe. The four-part documentary series interviews founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham and paints a not-so-rosy picture of the women's clothing giant, which is known for its loudly colored and patterned leggings and tops. In the doc, women who joined the company (investing a chunk of money in the process) dealt with stinky merchandise, a toxic culture and challenges in reaching financial goals. Settle in for a fascinating and well-made docuseries that spotlights the stories of former LuLaRoe retailers. Comedy Prime Video The Outlaws (2021- ) Seven strangers are assigned to the same community payback sentence in this appealing comedy thriller set in Bristol, England. The six-episode show is fun, dark and touching, offering an engaging look at its rule-breakers backgrounds and the relationships that form between them. The plot thickens when some members of the group come across a bag of cash. If you need another draw, the show is co-created by Stephen Merchant, who co-created the UK version of The Office. Amazon Studios Undone (2019- ) This unique series uses theRotoscoping animation techniqueto tell the story of a young woman who, after suffering a near-fatal car accident, discovers she can manipulate time. Intriguing, right? It gets better: Bob Odenkirk plays Alma's dead father, who enlists her help in investigating his murder. Bending both time and space, Undone is surreal and beautifully existential for those looking for deep material. Jackie Brown/Amazon Studios The Kids in the Hall (2022) Prime Video has resurrected The Kids in the Hall, the Emmy-nominated Canadian sketch comedy show that originally ran from 1988 to 1995. (By "resurrects," I mean the show literally exhumes members of the comedy troupe from a grave they were buried in at the end of the original show. That's just the beginning of the fun.) Follow the comedians as they freak out over mislabeled desserts, fight over imaginary love interests and write Earth's last fax. Be warned: Some of these sketches are highly NSFW. Amazon Studios A League of Their Own (2022) Prime Video's TV series A League of Their Own is inspired by the 1992 film of the same name and introduces new characters portrayed by Abbi Jacobson, D'Arcy Carden and others. In the comedy-drama's first episode, women try out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the '40s. The show explores themes of race and sexuality and offers a satisfying period setting and compelling characters. Amazon Studios The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017-2023) A '50s housewife who becomes a standup comic? This brilliant series from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is filled with sparkling performances from Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, with dialogue to match. Set in a vibrant and changing New York, our delightful heroine moonlights as a comedian, while doing her duties as an upper-class Jewish American housewife. With impressive visuals, warmth and zingers, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is the full package. Drama Prime Video Expats (2024- ) A new miniseries starring Nicole Kidman may be enough to guide your finger to the Play button, but you may also want to know that Expats comes from Lulu Wang, the director of the critically acclaimed 2019 comedy-drama The Farewell. In the six-episode show, Kidman portrays an American woman who's living in Hong Kong and is one of three characters linked by a sudden family tragedy. David Hindley/Prime Video Riches (2022) A soapy drama about a family after the death of their wealthy patriarch sits tantalizingly on Prime Video. In Riches, the will reading goes in an unexpected direction, leading Stephen Richard's two sets of children to vie for control of his business. You'll glide through the stylish first season, which includes Ted Lasso Emmy nominee Sarah Niles. Amazon Studios The English (2022) Gripping Western drama series The English stars Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer as an unlikely duo traveling across a treacherous landscape. The first episode of the miniseries presents some terrible characters and reveals a bit of what motivates both protagonists -- Blunt's aristocratic Englishwoman and Spencer's Pawnee ex-cavalry scout -- to continue in the face of danger. Gorgeous visuals and superb acting make The English worth a binge. Alan Peebles/Prime Video A Very British Scandal (2022) Unfurling over three hour-long episodes, A Very British Scandal dramatizes the highly publicized, real-life divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll in the 1960s. Claire Foy, of Netflix's The Crown, and WandaVision's Paul Bettany star. Ali Goldstein/Amazon Studios As We See It (2022) A newer entry to Prime Video, As We See It earns a spot among its best shows. Starring three actors who identify as autistic, this sincere series follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate jobs, make friends and find love. Neurotypical actors usually play autistic characters on screen, so the casting sets this one apart. It's also heartfelt, funny and poignant, with well-rounded characters you'll want to root for. I could let the show's glowing Metacritic score speak for itself -- but whatever convinces you, this needs to be your next watch. Prime Video The Underground Railroad (2021) Sublime filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) takes on adapting Colson Whitehead's novel The Underground Railroad into a powerful 10-episode series. Set in the southern US during the 1800s, the fictional story follows Blacks attempting to escape from slavery via a network of hidden tracks and tunnels. Tapping magical realism and a superb cast including Thuso Mbedu and William Jackson Harper, The Underground Railroad is an emotional and chilling triumph. Sci-fi Prime Video Fallout (2024- ) Prime Video's video game adaptation is an entertaining postapocalyptic adventure you shouldn't leave sitting in a vault. The series follows three different characters occupying the same wasteland. One is Lucy (Ella Purnell), who wanders in search of her kidnapped father and feels the need to invoke the Golden Rule to a cruel post-human Ghoul (Walton Goggins). Meanwhile, an eager Maximus (Aaron Moten) gets his big break as a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel. It's an unpredictable series with humor and gore. Don't let long episode runtimes deter you from exploring Fallout.

Updated Jan.4 with more details of the supposed thinking behind the possible new name.Apple doesnt like to be predictable, the company has said in the past. So, we shouldnt presume that the name for the next version of the most affordable iPhone, likely to arrive in March 2025, would be iPhone SE 4th generation. Thats whats been expected until now, but a new report says weve been wrong all along. And another report has now lent weight to the surprising new name.Apple iPhone SE third generation.SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesI mean, the phone in the works definitely seems to be an iPhone SE, with cut-down specifications to hit a price point lower than any other iPhone. But a new report suggests that we need to call the next phone by an entirely different name and, perhaps, think of it in another way.SE4 may be gone... The name may be completely changed to 16e, according to a Weibo report from Fixed Focus Digital. And there are two sources in agreement here. Based on what my source has reported, it seems that the new iPhone that Apple will unveil in 2025 will not be called iPhone SE4, but iPhone 16E. It should feature a design similar to the iPhone 14, with an OLED display and an action button. The available colors will be white and black, according to a post on X from frequent leaker Majin Bu.MORE FOR YOUSo, why on earth would Apple ditch a highly recognizable sub-brand, one that says, yes, Im an iPhone but Im tremendous value? At first glance, it seems daft.But maybe theres a logic here. After all, every previous iPhone SE has slavishly copied the design of an earlier iPhone. The first version looked near-identical to the iPhone 5s, the second-gen was a dead ringer for the iPhone 8 and the third, well, this looked like the iPhone 8 as well.The differences were all internal, putting the latest-gen chip in the hardware each time.But this new phone looks like it will take a different route. Its thought to look like the iPhone 14, which isnt dissimilar to the iPhone 16 design, at least from the front.However, this handset will have just one camera, not the two found on the iPhone 14, it seems. It will certainly have a USB-C charging port, which the iPhone 14 did not, and the single camera may have a 48-megapixel sensor, again something the iPhone 14 didnt match. A new design, then.In which case, maybe a whole new name is needed. Something that teams it to the latest model could also make it seem appealing. And if, as thought, it is capable of Apple Intelligence, then that could be reason enough for the new naming convention.Over at 9to5 Mac, Michael Burkhardt has written persuasively about why he thinks iPhone 16E could be the way Apple will go, pointing out that Itd definitely be the biggest upgrade in the history of iPhone SE, as he mentions the introduction an OLED screen with Face ID, USB-C port and Apples in-house modem.But the reason he thinks the new branding might come is to do with the price. Apple currently sells the iPhone 14 for $599, and the iPhone 15 for $699. Yet somehow, a newer phone with components from both of these (plus an even newer chipset) is apparently supposed to cost substantially less?His reasoning is that changing the name to 16E could mean theres less backlash if the price goes up significantly.I see this, though I suspect Apple will still want the next phone to be a lot cheaper than the iPhone 16 at $799 and, Id argue, the iPhone 15. The SE or whatever its to be called, still needs to have clear blue water between it and the other iPhones available. The SE range has always had the latest chip in a less capable body and that will apply here. My guess is we can expect a price of $599 or less.

Table of ContentsTable of ContentsRelease speculationXbox handheld rumors and newsPrice, hardware, and designBetween the Switch 2, the Steam Deck, and even the PlayStation Portal, handheld gaming is bigger than ever. Despite having some amazing games on the Xbox Series X and S, console sales this generation have been lackluster at best. Xbox has made a lot of gambles to try to stay competitive, such as Game Pass and making the biggest acquisition in gaming history with Activision Blizzard, but the question still remains how it will manage to regain its foothold in the industry after falling so far behind. One idea that has been teased many times concerns a dedicated Xbox handheld device that has many fans intrigued. Phil Spencer and the Xbox team are still playing coy with many details, but we do know a bit about what a likely Xbox handheld could be.Xbox / MicrosoftIn an interview with Bloomberg, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer gave a few interesting tidbits about Xboxs plans for a handheld. He said that the expectation is that we would do something regarding handhelds and that the company is currently investigating what that would exactly be through prototypes. However, the immediate goals for the team involve improving the Xbox app for existing devices. Longer term, Spencer said, I love us building devices. And I think our team could do some real innovative work, but we want to be informed by learning and whats happening now.Recommended VideosIf Xbox is still only in the prototype phase of development, any new handheld hardware would be many years away from hitting the market.Please enable Javascript to view this contentXboxThe only concrete news we have about the Xbox handheld was the previously mentioned Bloomberg report.RelatedWindows Centrals Jez Cordon claims to have insider information about a possible Xbox handheld announcement, though it does somewhat contradict what Spencer said later. According to Cordon on the Xbox Two podcast, I dont think youre gonna see hardware at The Game Awards, but, I do think next year is a good year for revealing new hardware. Especially hardware you could hold in the palm of your hand.Jacob Roach / Digital TrendsTheres no information to go off for the real meat of what an Xbox handheld could be. That makes it impossible to even guess at things like price without first knowing how powerful the device itself will be. In terms of design, most handhelds have fallen into a fairly uniform form factor since the Switch, and Xbox would probably not stray too far from that.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz responded to criticism from billionaire Elon Musk.Musk called Scholz an "incompetent fool" and signaled his support for Germany's AfD party.In a new interview, Scholz said he was concerned about Musk backing the AfD.German Chancellor Olaf Scholz responded to criticism from Elon Musk in a new interview with a German magazine.In the interview published in Stern on Saturday, Scholz said there was "nothing new" about criticism from "rich media entrepreneurs who do not appreciate social democratic politics and do not hide their opinions."The key, he said, is to "keep your cool.""There are many people on social media who want to attract attention with strong slogans," he continued. "The rule is: Don't feed the troll."He added that he found it "far more concerning" that Musk supported "a partly far-right party like the AfD, which advocates rapprochement with Putin's Russia and seeks to weaken transatlantic relations."Musk has sparked debate in Germany in recent weeks by calling Scholz an "incompetent fool" and signaling his support for AfD, the Alternative for Germany party.The AfD was founded in 2013 as an anti-European Union party. More recently, it has taken a hard line on immigration, earning it the label of far-right in some political corners.Musk who is set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration has rejected the far-right label and publicly supported the AfD in posts on X, his social media platform.Musk reshared a video in December by the right-wing influencer Naomi Seibt in which she criticized Friedrich Merz a leading candidate to become Germany's next chancellor."Only the AfD can save Germany," Musk wrote in his post. He later reaffirmed his support for the AfD in an op-ed for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. Welt am Sonntag and Business Insider are both owned by Axel Springer SE.In the article, Musk wrote: "The AfD advocates a controlled immigration policy that gives priority to integration and the preservation of German culture and security. This is not about xenophobia, but about ensuring that Germany does not lose its identity in the pursuit of globalization."A number of German politicians have spoken out against Musk's comments, which have come just weeks before Germany holds a snap election in February.In a post on X last month, Germany's health minister, Karl Lauterbach, said Musk "should not interfere in our politics" and that his platform "profits from hate and incitement and radicalizes people."Germany isn't the only country where Musk has shown his support for right-wing leaders in recent months.Musk has criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and teased donations to the Reform Party, a right-wing populist party led by Nigel Farage.Musk has also backed Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is also considered right-wing, calling her a "precious genius" who was "even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside."
