Of course, you have to mention two things: Although its official price is higher (709 euros), we do not consider that it is really offer, but rather has a recommended price, since in recent weeks it has been cheaper. The promo on financing in 30 months will only be available Until September 18. Only today, the store gives a redeemable coupon (Until September 19).

Emptied Spain has been filled with solar mills and panels, but waste energy for a simple reason: there are no cables

by

At noon, the sun and the wind are left over in the emptied regions. At dusk, the cities turn on the gas. Spain has run more than anyone raising renewables in the unpopulated territory, but the cables that take them to the demand are not tended at the same speed. The result is a broken bridge: clean energy is born in emptied Spain and does not arrive, when it is necessary, urban Spain. Today, for the first time, the distributors have published the “Map of Plug” for new demand: the photo is stark. The expected map. By mandate of the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC), the great distributors —I-de (Iberdrola), e-Distribution (Endesa), UFD (Naturgy), E-Redes (EDP) and Repsol Distribution— They have published the capacity maps To connect new firm demand to the distribution network. It is an radiography where they show, knot to knot, where there is a hole, what is busy and what is in process. According to the employer Aelēcthe first results confirm that 83.4% of knots are already saturated, which prevents connecting new consumptions such as industries, data centers, storage or electric vehicle recharge. The association itself defines it as “transparency milestone”, but warns that, under these conditions, without investment, the transition is raised. The great territorial neck. Here is the core of the problem. Spain has installed renewables where there is resource and soil: rural regions with low density and little network. However, demand grows in cities: metropolitan areas, logistics corridors, data clusters. In the middle there is an electrical system that does not endure that mismatch, since transport corridors are missing to evacuate surpluses and, above all, distribution capacity to connect the new demand where it is requested. The result is that at noon there are many cheap MWh that are cut or sold at zero price; When the sun falls, the network needs support and the gas enters, Based on pool. The double face of emptied Spain. If the anticipatory network is not remunerated and planned, there will be no industries, CPDs, or recharge of electric vehicles, or hydrogen or storage projects that create employment and set population. But if investigated without criteria, the cost will fall on rates without effective use. The key is agile planning, clear priorities and mechanisms that accelerate reinforcements where demand is plausible: poles such as Aragon, but also Extremadura, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha or inner Andalusia, where hot knots and curtailment-up to 30% renewable wasted by saturation– They are already common. The demand boom. There is a very illustrative fact: The increase in data centers. Applications to get an access point have multiplied by 80 compared to previous years, According to the Spanish. Among them are technological, great consumers and promoters of hybrids that seek to consume in situ. Aragon has become an epicenter. Only the projected data centers would add more than 2 GW of requested power, with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft or QTS/Blackstone at the head. In this new scenario, the race for a “plug” is no longer limited to first: weigh guarantees, guarantees and project criteria. “Historic traffic jam.” The “complete maps” – without significant hollows – stress even more the pulse with the CNMC. The fear of the sector is double: losing industrial and digital projects (including CPDs) for not being able to connect them and see investment relocation if the jam persists. The electricity story connects that urgency with the regulated remuneration: they argue that with a rate of 6.46% the volume of reinforcements required by the demand wave required, and remember that in other countries (Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden) the reference rates are higher; In Spain, they ask around 7.5%. For its part, the CNMC two proposals presented in July: a financial compensation rate of 6.46% by 2026-2031 (from current 5.58%) and a new distribution methodology that turns towards the Totex model (CAPEX + OPEX). This system includes incentives for efficiency and quality, and league part of the remuneration to the contracted power, to avoid overrredes that end up paying consumers. The regulator insists that the framework must encourage investment without compromising the affordability of the invoice. The forecasts. Access to the distribution network no longer depends only on the order of arrival. The processing requires guarantees, technical draft and guarantees, and a period of one month to present the documentation after reserving a point. The resolutions should be issued in less than six months, with technical support for Red Electric. In addition, scores that value CO₂, investment volume and speed at the beginning of consumption are applied. In parallel, solutions such as battery PPAS arise, which allow to finance storage and take advantage of the cheap electricity at noon at the afternoon, avoiding the resource to gas. But without broader investment limits, as Aelēc claimsthe bridge between rural Spain and urban Spain will remain broken. The PNIEC foresees more than 53,000 million in networks until 2030, although the CNMC defends to maintain the rate at 6.46% for efficiency and affordability, while the sector asks for greater certainty and return. The political context adds pressure: after the rejection of the “Decree antiaps” In July, the dilemma is sharpened. The end point. Spain does not have a sun or wind problem; It has a bridge problem between where it occurs and where it is consumed. Capacity maps have made what the industry had been suffering: the distribution network is at the limit. Without a jump in investment and planning, the transition will be stuck where there are less labor and more territory. If the network does not reach empty Spain, clean energy will not reach rich Spain. The choice is not whether to invest or not, but how, where and with what rules so that the cost does not pay it neither the countryside nor the city, but the economic future of both.

Only one game has dared to stand up to ‘Silksong’ and go on sale the same day. The result has been apocalyptic

by

Among all the phenomena that have surrounded the very expected ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong‘, without a doubt, one of the most peculiar has been the delay of video games that had planned their departure on September 4. However, some irreducible competitor has remained firm before the media avalanche that knew that he was going to guide their looks exclusively to Team Cherry game. The result has been as predictable as unfair. We are used to seeing it with AAA games. When a mastodon arrives from a franchise like ‘Call of Duty’ or ‘Assassin’s Creed’, they leave a plot on the calendar: nobody wants to leave in the immediately previous or later weeks. In fact, we are already talking about seeing a phenomenon comparable to ‘GTA VI‘… and that there are still months to arrive. What is strange is to see it around An indie of 20 euros: But in this case it is not a matter of price, but of media attention. After years waiting, all its competitors knew that the news and attention of the players was going to orbit exclusively around ‘Silksong’. There is no space for others. Some games that delayed its launch. These are some of the most striking, in a phenomenon that in different forums has been known as “being silksonado”: Aeterna Lucis: It has been delayed a whole year, from September from 2025 to 2026, indicating that they will take the opportunity to polish the game. Demonschool: From September 3 to November 19, and expressly cite the launch of ‘Silksong’ as a reason. Cloverpit: From the beginning of September they go to September 26. And many more: Baby Steps, Faeland, Megabonk, Moors Protocol, Comfy Girl either Little Witch in The Woods and others have postponed their original launch date weeks or months. An exception. But there is a game that has decided to remain firm and not retire. This is another Metroidvania, such as ‘Silksong’ itself, and that comes from the hand of a video game classic, Atari. This is ‘Adventure of Samsara’, and he paid his daring expensive: while Team Cherry’s game beat records of concurrent, ‘Adventure of Samsara’ had a peak of peak Twelve simultaneous in Steam. Maybe buyers were busy with other things (playing ‘Silksong’, for example), but the equivalences of concurrent-sales players do not usually fail. Possibly Atari did not reach amounts of three figures in sales. It’s not fair. ‘Adventure of Samsara ‘is a very resulton game: it has absolutely delicious animations and a Pixel art Very worked, with that microscopic style that gives him a peculiar personality. The design of the bosses is excellent and although it does not invent anything in their development, pure coming and going by labyrinthine maps in search of improvements that allow us Shooter 2D in some action areas. A non -revolutionary game, but very defensible. Something happens with Samsara. In any case, the little attention that Atari herself has to her game is strange (which in 2021 appointed a new CEO But he has not done any relevant movement): he announced the game three months ago, he has not worried about giving him visibility in the press … Maybe they thought not to follow the current of the other games would it be promoted? It can, but … there has been no promotion. A true suicide against the colossus that has devoured all our attention in the last week.

Russia has just launched the greatest order to Europe since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. And Europe has responded with fire

by

In recent weeks the war in Ukraine had taken a more worrying channel with a made unprecedented From the Russian invasion in 2022. Lost combat drones were arriving To countries outside the conflicteven impacting the land. However, what happened few hours ago is completely different. Poland (and NATO) have just enter In the contest. Polish interception. Yes, Poland It has knocked down For the first time Russian drones that penetrated their airspace during a massive attack against Ukraine, in what Warsaw He described how an “unprecedented violation.” The operation, carried out in the early morning with fighters and Polish anti -aircraft defense systems and other NATO allies (including F-35 Dutch), supposes the most serious clash between Moscow and the Atlantic Alliance since the beginning of the Russian Invasion on a large scale in February 2022. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed That armament was used against intruder objects, convened an emergency meeting and claimed to maintain constant contact with NATO general, Mark Rutte. For its part. The president of France Macron has described Incursion as “simply unacceptable.” Critical climbing. The incident occurs in a context of great tension, with Russian military exercises Zapad About to start with Belarus and Washington pressed by European capitals to adopt a firmer position against Moscow. Said war games, five days, They imply to the armed forces of Russia and Belarus and develop very close to the Polish border, which increases the risk of incidents. The military dimension. The Polish Armed Forces confirmed that several military aircraft participated in the operation, with radar systems and air defense activated to the highest level of alert. HE They identified and demolished Some of the intruder drones in regions such as Podlaskie, Mazowieckie and Lublin, where there were even traces of devices, as in the town of Czosnówka. I also knowThey used flights In the Chopin airport in Warsovia and in three other aerodromes, including Rzesów-Jjaka, key for its proximity to Ukraine. The change in Russian strategy. Russia has intensified since summer the use of drones and missiles to saturate Ukrainian defense and exhaust its interceptors. Only last weekend launched more than 800 drones and a dozen missiles in the largest air attack since 2022. This tactic too Multiply the risks For neighboring countries of Ukraine, such as Poland, which until now had suffered the fall of lost projectiles (such as the one that killed two farmers in 2022), but had never directly intercepted Russian devices in flight. Implications The Polish response occurs at a time of political uncertainty In Washington, with President Donald Trump trying to force peace negotiations between kyiv and Moscow, but without success. The lack of immediate reactions of the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department highlights the US caution before an action that can mark a before and after in the involvement of NATO. Plus: Warsaw decided Close completely Its border with Belarus, even more hardening the posture against its eastern neighbors. What changes now. The fact that Poland has used kinetic means to reduce Russian drones inside its airs Exercise active defense. If you want, this redefines your response threshold: from this moment, any unidentified and hostile profile can be treated As immediate threat. In terms of deterrence, the message is sent to Moscow that the “navigation errors”, collateral probes or saturations will no longer have zero cost. In terms aliancistasTest in real conditions the integrated air defense architecture NATO on the eastern flank. Risk and management. The use of Polish fire against Russian objects raises the potential of Friction on three levels: Tactical (more interceptions and greater probability of fragmentation on populated areas), operational (expansion of confrontation rules and greater density of aerial patrols) and strategic (Russian diplomatic or military response, including propaganda and mirror measures in Kalinningrad and Beelorusia). In addition, the coincidence with Zapad exercises increases the danger of Malinterpretation: Training flights, air targets or lures can be confused with real threats. Mitigation requires positive identification protocols, clear red lines and active distrust channels, ideally backed by shared early alerts and previous notifications of exercises. Article 5 and a theory. Although an isolated demolition of drones does not active per se Article 5, does press the debate on the “threshold” of armed aggression. Poland can argue legitimate defense (Art. 51 of the UN Letter) Before repeated incursions that put infrastructure or population at risk. If it was demonstrated that Russian platforms were deliberately directed to transit or attack in NATO territory, the case for consultations of article 4 (and, in significant damage scenarios or victims, for 5) it is reinforced. Moscow, aware of this, can intensify ambiguity: drones with erratic flight plan, lures or minimal loads to maintain that kind of “gray zone”. The allied response, therefore, must be graduated, documented and legally solid. Image | Nato North Atlantic, 7th Army Training Command, In Xataka | The Ukrainian army that is not afraid of Russia.

Sinai is one of the most iconic places in all Christianity. Now faces the threat of touristification

by

Few places in the world can boast of having the load of history and symbolism of Mount Sinaithe place where (according to the Judeo -Christian tradition) God delivered his ten commandments to Moses and where he stands The monastery that more time has managed to preserve its original function, an architectural jewel of the seventh century. Now both one and the other face radical changes while the Egypt government is committed to a new Tourist megaproject In the region. The debate is served. What happened? That tourism development and heritage conservation, two realities not always easy to combine, have unleashed a controversy in Egypt. And he has also done so in an especially sensitive area for its symbolic, cultural, historical, religious and even geopolitical value: Jabal museMount Sinai. There, where according to the Judeo -Christian tradition God delivered the tables of the commandments to Moses, a tourist megaproject called ‘Great transfiguration project’ and that the Egyptian authorities They present as “a gift” from the country “to the entire world and all religions.” Not all They see it that way. What do you want to do? The project is not new. He presented it In 2020 The President Abdelfatha el-Sisi And his name gives an idea of ​​what is his purpose. The ‘great transfiguration’ aspirates, In words of the Egyptian executive, to “develop” the city of Santa Catalinaa small population located in the Peninsula of the Sinai, “placing it in the place that corresponds to it, taking full advantage of its tourist attractions, as well as its rich archaeological and religious heritage.” The initiative includes 14 projects different in the area capable of arouseing the interest of Tourist operators and the development of the local airport. The Egyptian government It usually cite it in fact as one of his great tourist bets. Is more known? The idea is to turn Santa Catalina into A Tourism Pole Religious and environmental, with places, commercial spaces, luxury hotels, villas and infrastructure. The BBC Point out which even includes a cable car. “The project will provide all tourist and recreational services to the visitor, will promote the development of the city and its surroundings, at the same time preserving the environmental, landscape and patrimonial character. It will also contribute accommodation to those who work in their development,” celebrated In 2024 Minister Sherif el-Sherbiny. Is it just a project? No. It is already a reality underway. Over the last years the Egyptian authorities have visited the place to follow the advance of the works in situ and the transformation It is already visible In the plain of El-Raha. Moreover, at the beginning of the year the government came to affirm that the level of execution 90%. Shortly before, at the end of 2024, World Heritage Watch (WHW), very critical of development, he published A statement in which it included an image of how the environment was before and how it is now, with the buildings already advanced. Why is it controversial? For several reasons. One of the main ones is how it will affect the area, both at the environmental level and in what affects the locals. “Natural landscapes have suffered serious damage and the rights of the natives have been violated. The Bedouinos Jebelya of Santa Catalina have lost important parts of their old tribal territory. Houses have demolished. Places of special cultural sensitivity have been destroyed, such as a cemetery,” Whw complaint. “An urban world is being built around a town of nomadic roots.” The organization regrets that the Egyptian authorities “have ignored” recommendations from the United Nations and “act in a clear challenge to environmental laws” that protect the environment and the communities that populate it. Everything insists, while development captures the interest of private corporations as a popular hotel chain based in Germany. Meanwhile, whw and Other voices They warn of the negative impact for native populations, the government insists in which the megaproject will be “a gift to the world and religions.” Why is it so media? The megaproject of Mount Sinai has been on the table for some time. If in recent days he has starred in media such as The country, The BBC either The Art Newspaper It is because there is not only the population of Santa Catalina. Very close an icon of Christianity stands: the Santa Catalina Monasteryfounded in the seventh century and that has the honor of being the oldest Christian monastery inhabited by monks uninterruptedly. “Its walls and buildings are of great value for the study of Byzantine architecture and hosts a highlight collection of manuscripts and primitive icons,” Remember Unescothat in 2002 he declared him a World Heritage. It is not just that the monastery of Santa Catalina is in the same environment of the tourist megaproject. It is that over the last years he has lived his own judicial soap opera with the Egyptian State, which has raised suspicion. After years of disputes and lawsuits for the ownership of the land that occupies, in May a court He ruled that the religious enclosure is located in state land. He is recognized the right to use his soils and archaeological enclaves with religious value of his surroundings, but still the decision that has generated a remarkable dust. What does the sentence say? As you need The countrythe verdict granted to the monastery the rights of usufruct (not property) over 57 plots, but ordered to evict another 14 that were also in dispute. The problem is that part of the plots claimed by Egypt have a role in the day to day of the religious enclosure, linked to the Greek orthodox church and where monks live. “Many of the expropriated monastic properties are very old and were built and have been maintained by the monastery,” Ben Hoffler warnsfamiliar with the area. The monks will be stripped of orchards and fountains. What does one thing have to do with the other? Is it a coincidence that the sentence has arrived just when the new tourist … Read more

Avoid “Time Traps”

by

Often during the working day there is a risk of falling into certain habits and situations that make the workday extends more than planned for not completing the planned tasks. Most of these “time traps” arise from everyday behaviors that They wear the concentration And they are stealing a few precious minutes that accumulate at the end of the day, affecting both productivity and personal well -being. Understand what these practices are and how they influence Time management It is key to preventing the day from eligging unnecessarily and recovering control over working hours. 1. Informal conversations that continue One of the most common reasons to stay until later at work are the improvised talks in the coffee machine that becomes long conversations. According to He counted to Fast Company Kiki Ramsey, CEO of POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COACHING AND DIVERSITY INSTITUTE“Quick coffee conversations can easily become 30 -minute talks” The expert explains that, to avoid This type of interruptionit is advisable to program these interactions as conscious breaks. That is, stay with that person with whom you want to comment on something to pause coffee or planned lunch. In this way, it is avoided that they interfere with the concentration and labor agenda. In this way, the social component between colleagues is maintained, which contributes to the good work environment, without interfering with their own productivity or that of the rest of the classmates. 2. Look at an email and finish watching kittens videos Another frequent trap is in the pauses, initially short, which are transformed into long periods of distraction. In this sense, the Unlimited mobile use It is one of the main culprits of the loss of time during the working day. Ramsey advises to establish a timer or an alarm To control these breaks and make sure they are brief. Apps are designed to catch your attention, so it is not strange to take the mobile to consult an email and spend an hour watching videos of kittens. Maintaining control over these moments is essential not to fall into the voluntary overextension of working hours. 3. Attend personal issues during working hours Telework has blurred Classic scheduleswhich can make personal issues attend during the working day. This includes calls, efforts or any other procedure that diverts work attention. Although it seems harmless, Ramsey points out that this type of distractions affects the concentration and extends the day more than necessary. “Although the boundaries between the labor and the personal have blurred, the calls or personalrs can reduce concentration and productivity,” said the expert. The recommendation in these cases is to reserve specific blocks on the weekly agenda to address these issues, or attend them before or after the working day. This will help maintain the concentration and quality of work, preventing personal interruptions from ending up making it come out later. 4. The importance of saying “no” Accepting tasks or responsibilities can alter your own priorities and extend the work schedule. Ramsey advises reject with kindness those tasks that do not correspond to the assigned responsibilities, and redirect them to the right person. If that is not possible, include that task in the day planning Next to avoid interfering with your goals. The lack of capacity to put clear limits generates an overload that causes more time to cover everything. This ability to say “no” is one of the greatest Learning Millionaires like Elon Musk or Warren Buffet. This Difficulty saying “no” It is an important cause of the unplanned extension of the work day, since it forces to add extra activities to the routine without having planned time for them, which lengthens the day without providing real value to your own work. 5. Unnecessary micrognition A factor that consumes a lot of time is excessive surveillance or micrognition of what your classmates do. “Supervising too much the tasks of others is a loss of time and generates unnecessary stress, both for you and for them,” says Ramsey. Instead, try to trust the processes, it offers support for colleagues with less experience only when necessary. Focusing attention on your own tasks improves general efficiency and prevents the extension of the schedule. In addition, this type of management not only delays the progress of your tasks, but can double the workload and create an atmosphere of distrust which makes more hours be invested than necessary. Strategies to avoid these traps and recover your time To avoid falling into these “time traps”, the productivity expert recommends planning in advance the Tasks of the week. At least the most important. “Take time on Sunday to plan your week. It doesn’t have to be sophisticated. It can simply be a rapid review of your prioritiesprojects and objectives for the week. Thus, when I arrive on Monday, you will be ready to start, instead of spending part on Monday morning thinking about what to do first, “says Ramsey. This technique opens a way for better time management, as it allows you to address the tasks in an orderly manner and avoid distractions caused by improvisation, stress or ultimate urgency. The urgent and the important thing do not always go hand in hand, but the first tends to eclipse the second hindering the progress of weekly objectives. Joe Galvin, research director of Vistagean advisory consultancy for managers ensures that Align circadian cycles With the tasks that require greater concentration it is also a way of accelerating the execution of tasks. “Some employees are more alert in the early morning, while others reflect better in the afternoon,” Galvin explains. The ideal is to reserve the complex and strategic tasks for these energy peaks, and leave for other moments the small personal efforts or those tasks that require less concentration. Identify when you are more concentrated or at what time of the day You are more prone to procrastineit also contributes to being more efficient when addressing daily tasks and finishing them in the assigned time.

The fourth iPhone syndrome

by

Apple just present the new iPhone. We already have all the characteristics of the iPhone 17 and of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Of which we have not had news is from an iPhone Plus because, simply, it does not exist anymore. Instead, we have the iPhone Air. Apple carries years obsessed with an idea: the fourth iPhone. And during all that time, Things have not done well. This year there is no iPhone 17 plusa family with warm results The one that has ended up cutting off the wings to bet on a new trend: that of ultra -launching mobiles. Because the iPhone Air does not stand out in technical characteristics if we compare it with the rest of the family, but if for something it stands out it is for a thickness of just 5.6 millimeters. Forks Apple’s weapon to stand up in an unexplored niche in which its greatest rival, Samsung, has already positioned itself with the Galaxy S25 Edge. iPhone Air and Apple’s desire Until the launch of the iPhone 5sthose of the apple only had one model every year, but in a market that advanced at high speed and with great competition, in 2013 they threw themselves into the pool with the iPhone 5C. It went so bad that they wanted to repeatbecause it was a iPhone 5but cut at a price that made it unattractive. Later they began launching larger plus models, but in 2021 they tried again to position themselves with a new product: the iPhone 12 Mini. It was an iPhone 12, but in a smaller format. The following year they repeated with the iPhone 13 Mini that solved the main problem of the previous one -autonomy -but the accounts still did not leave. Simply, the market was talking and I shouted bigger screens. The diagonal of the phones did nothing more than increase and less and less small mobiles were thrown. Even asus, whose zenfone were champions of this niche, They deposed the weapons With the latest generations, hugging the biggest screens. Apple was clear: if the market wanted large screens, that would give the market, and that’s how they created (again) Plus models. The latest generations have had iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 16 Plusmobiles that were like the ‘normal’ model, but with more screen and battery. But as the mini (although perhaps not in such a beast), the plus models have not finished curdling. The user who wants to spend the least possible money on an iPhone goes for the normal one. And the one who is willing to stretch the budget to buy the plus, If stretches a little more it reaches the PROr, with better screen, best processor and more versatile cameras. The Plus were running out of hole, but Apple’s story is clear: They sell more the more models they offer. Taking that into account, Those of Cupertino have redesigned the iPhone and have not limited themselves to launching one with a screen of different dimensions: The iPhone Air does not carry a “17” because it does not need it: it is unique. It is a new member of the family that comes to live with the rest, not in the shadow. It has only one camera, yes, but the processor is the same A19 Pro that we find on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It is a different bet for an Apple that wants to have that fourth iPhone compatible with the rest of its range, that smartphone that is not “the cheap iPhone” or “the most pro iPhone”, but the one that attracts attention by itself. Memories of Jony Ive Apple And yes, it draws attention, but here the question will be resolved within a few months. Because the response to whether the user needs a 5.6 millimeter mobile thickness (which implies in battery limitation, for example) will be elucidated when the List of the best -selling mobiles. In the end, that Apple’s strategy is successful or not, will be responded with sales, which It was what ended the compactsbut in the absence of having that thermometer, there is something obvious: whoever wants this iPhone Air should be very clear that it needs – or wants – that extreme thinness, because The price is on complicated land: 260 euros more expensive than the iPhone 17 … and 100 euros cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro. It will also have to be clear that It means goodbye to esim. But The iPhone Air has an ace in the sleeve: The Apple of recent years has been blamed that it is late for trends (AI is a very clear example), But with an ultra -elapsed mobile, it comes from the first to this unexplored land in which, apart from Samsung, There are other brands like Tecno.

As is tradition, Apple welcomes the last quarter of the year with the presentation of the new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. However, and as usual, the new iPhone arrive surrounded by the new Apple Watch 11 And something more unexpected: New Airpods Pro 3. Three years have passed since the launch of the Latest Airpods Pro And, finally, we have a new generation that comes with something as rumored as expected: A heart rate sensor. Because Apple wants the third generation Airpods to be the best friends of Apple fitness+but there are other novelties on battery and active noise cancellation. Next, we go with all the characteristics of the Airpods Pro 3. “The safest and most comfortable airpods in history” At first glance, the new third generation airpods are identical than the second generation. The design follows the maximum of “if it is not broken, do not fix it”, but when we look more closely, it is when We begin to see some changes in its form. Apple assures What are the more comfortable they have designed so faran objective they had to adapt better to a greater variety of ears. To do this, those of Cupertino claim to have used more than 10,000 auditory scan and more than 100,000 hours of research and feedback With users to slightly redesign the contour of the headphones and that are more comfortable and, above all, do not fall. The new Airpods Pro 3 have five different pads so that each user finds the torque that best suits their characteristics and also has IP57 certificationwhich ensures resistance against water and, above all, against sweat. Cardiac sensor, one of the great novelties of the Airpods Pro 3 The main thing in headphones is the sound quality and, currently, how good they can isolate you from abroad, but before arriving at that, it must Beats Powerbeats Pro 2: A sensor to measure heart rate. The headphones are a mandatory accessory for many of those who do sports and Apple has introduced a PPG sensor that, thanks to infrared light, measures 256 times per second the absorption of light in the blood flow. The headphones cross that data with the integrated accelerometer for trace the heart rate. It is a technology similar to the one we carry in the wrist with smart watches, but in the ears, where we have a large number of blood vessels that can offer precise measurement. Combined with Apple Fitness+, we have the option to see the heart rate data as if we carry a Apple Watch (also estimates the calories consumed), but they have also introduced something called ‘Workout Buddy’ that encourages us during the training session. Live translation The other great characteristic of the Airpods Pro 3 is live translation. We have been watching for years devices focused on this unique task With the objective that languages ​​are not a barrier, and Apple has integrated it in the headphones thanks to the ‘Live Translation’ function. Thanks to Apple IntelligenceWhen we enable the function, the Airpods pro 3 automatically translate what another person is telling us, all in real time. Besides, If the other person does not have airpodsthe iPhone can be used as if it were a horizontal screen, showing the transcription of what we are saying, but translated for the other person. Using the cancellation of active noise, the Airpods pro 3 minimize the original voice of those who tell us so that we only have to concentrate on simultaneous translation. And good news: unlike Apple Intelligence in its launch, The live translation of the airpods It will be available in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Later (at the end of the year) it will be compatible with Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Cancellation of noise and battery of the new Airpods Pro 3 The heart rate sensor and the simultaneous translation function are the two great novelties of the new airpods, but you were waiting for a new generation with Autonomy improvements and noise cancellationthere are also things to tell. Apple has redesigned the pads, which are no longer only silicone, but of foam that, by themselves, offer better isolation from abroad. In addition, active cancellation is twice as powerful as the view of the previous generation. They are also more efficient, since this function consumes more energy, but the Airpods Pro 3 have eight hours of battery with active cancellation and up to ten hours with the transparency mode. Price and launch of the Airpods Pro 3 Views the main characteristics of the new third -generation Airpods pro, it is time to talk about the launch details. The new Apple headphones can be reserved as of today and will arrive on the market next Friday, September 19. Finally, the price of Airpods Pro 3 will be 249 euros.

The Apple Watch Ultra renews itself after two years of waiting. Apple has presented the Apple Watch Ultra 3the third generation of its most resistant and advanced smart watch, aimed at athletes and adventurers, or simply watch enthusiasts looking for the model with the best possible specifications. As expected, the company maintains its focus on extreme durability while introducing improvements in connectivity and performance. The great novelty comes with a larger screen, satellite connectivity and 5G support for the first time in an Apple Watch. These are the characteristics that consolidate Ultra 3 as the most complete Apple watch.

Apple has managed to reduce the frames to offer the largest screen ever seen in an Apple Watch without increasing the total size of the device. This new screen adopts technology wide-Angle Oled del Series 10which provides up to 40% more brightness when displayed from lateral angles. In addition, the improved soda frequency allows the always-on spheres to show seconds in continuous motion. An analog gesture in a native digital product. The new Waypoint sphere. Image: Apple.

The chip in principle maintains the architecture of 64 double -core bits with four -core Neural Engine that we already know. The big difference is in the new capabilities that it unlocked, especially in connectivity and health data processing. Later we can give more details about this chip. Satellite connectivity: Never again without coverage The most revolutionary incorporation of ultra 3 is its satellite connectivitymaking the clock the first Apple capable of working completely without telephone towers. This technology allows to send emergency messages and contact rescue services from anywhere on the planet, such as what was seen on the iPhone of recent years.

One more year, we have new iPhone. And one more year, Apple is far in generative for mobiles

Last May of Mayar Pichai, CEO of Google, mentioned the word “AI” 135 times in its inaugural talk In the Google I/O event in 2025. Everything was AI, and that absolute prominence of confirmed in the Presentation of the Pixel 10 In August. Things have been very different in the event of presentation of the iPhone 17, in which this technology has not been practically talked about. Where is Apple Intelligence? One would expect one of the most important technological companies in the world to have climbed into the AI ​​car at this point, but it is not what has happened with Apple. In it Presentation event of the New iPhone 17 As soon as there were Mentions of Apple Intelligence, a platform that not only had to arrive, but when he did proved to be much more limited than that of his competition. Real -time translation. Apple did talk about a new capacity in the Airpods pro 3: The simultaneous translation that is part of the Apple Intelligence platform and that will allow to maintain conversations in different languages ​​among several people, whether they also use those headphones – what will make them hear the translation directly in the helmets – as if not – the translation will appear on the iPhone screen. Waiting to see how it behaves, we are undoubtedly before Apple’s most outstanding novelty in its artificial intelligence functions in recent months. Delays and more delays. Apple already warned in March that its artificial intelligence options would be delayed and They would not reach 2026. Nor was there much to tell at your WWDC conferencewhere the protagonist was the new (and controversial) Liquid Glass Design Language. The iPhone 17 will not boast of AI (for the moment). All this made it practically impossible to wait for surprises in this area, but it is still surprising that while its competitors do not stop raising news with platforms such as Gemini, Apple still does not take a step forward. At the moment the AI ​​does not make a difference. The outstanding functions of AI on Android are striking, but for now they do not seem to have completely transformed the user experience and are not an argument that can make iphone users pass to Android. “Rode to search”, the real -time translation of voice calls and messages, and the striking photographic editing functions They are interesting, but it is even more that growing Gemini integration with installed applications In our Android mobiles, like Gmail. Siri is further away from Gemini. The great harmed of this situation is Siri, Apple’s voice assistant. Theoretically at this point we should have a supervitaminated version with AI, but Its development is being chaotic In an Apple that has not just found the key. That has allowed Google to have a lot of advantage with Gemini, which is already a natural substitute for Google Assistant and winning options with speed. Touch wait. Faced with this panorama, we cannot do much more to wait. Apple has promised that there will be news in Apple Intelligence in spring 2026, and it is more than likely that these novelties will reach their current devices. One thing is true: they are more than prepared for those options, and the NEW CHIP A19 PRO OF THE IPHONE 17 PRO/MAX. Privacy as in the manga. In Apple they already made it clear when presenting Apple Intelligence that one of the clear foci of this platform was to protect the privacy of users. To do this, they will take advantage of both language models that can be executed at home, without connection to the cloud, as more ambitious models that are executed in the Private cloud that Apple It already has prepared. That strategy gives rise to two questions. The first, if the functions that will offer one and the other will be able to compete with the great foundational models of Openai, Google and the rest of the competitors. The second, if that commitment to privacy will really be really differential in the race for AI.
