Technological minimalism focused on health

by

Polar has just launched A fitness bracelet without screen for 199 dollars. No subscription. No notifications. Without digital vanity. It is the clearest sign that something is changing in our relationship with Wearable. It is the new technological minimalism that focuses on health monitoring, and nothing else. Why is it important. This trend comes due to the convergence of several contemporary obsessions: The optimization of physical performance. The obsessive quantification of the self. And yes, also digital exhaustion. WHOOP He first conquered elite athletes promising data that an Apple Watch could not offer, or not with such frequency: cardiac variability, training load, real recovery. It was not so much escaping from technology as deepening it until making it invisible. As invisible as the load: autonomy is two weeks. The market paradox. These bracelets satisfy two apparently contradictory wishes: We want more information about ourselves … … but less friction to obtain them. Whoop’s success was not to eliminate distractions, was to automate the obsession. You do not need to start a training manually when the device automatically detects that you are running. Amazfit offers your Helio Strap for 99 euros without subscription. Polar asks 199. Whoop maintains its model of up to $ 359 a year. Each price points to a different tribe: the curious, the committed, the obsessives. Between the lines. The real attraction is not the absence of screen but the promise of knowledge without effort. It is the same impulse that leads people to DNA test either Microbioma analysis: The fantasy that the data will reveal some hidden truth about ourselves. The difference is that now that data arrives every morning to your phone. The more devout users do not seek to disconnect. They look for a deeper connection with themselves through metrics as a traditional smartwatch, designed for the average consumer, would never prioritize. The contrast. A Apple Watcha Huawei Watch or a Samsung Galaxy Watch They are generalist devices that make everything moderately well. These bracelets are specialists: they do one thing – monitor your body – exceptionally well. As the sports watches niche chaired by Garmin, Suunto, Coros and Company, but without screen, notifications, etc. The second Wearable. Here is the key: these bracelets do not really compete with a Garmin or an Apple Watch except for those who want to lose sight of the screen. For the rest of the market, they complement them. Serious athletes are both: the Garmin to see rhythm, routes and heart rate during training, and the Whoop (or similar) in the biceps for monitoring 24/7. That is why Whoop and his clones offer biceps bands: to release the wrist during the sport. It is the birth of a new category: the Wearable complementary. It is not “or one or the other”, it is “east and that.” The Garmin to run, the invisible bracelet to live. The decisive moment. Polar entrance with a subscription free product is remarkable. He suggests that the market is maturing beyond the Whoop model, where you pay both hardware and the interpretation of the data. Now the question is whether the data is worth $ 359 a year if you can get something similar for $ 199 in a single payment. And now what. We are seeing the market fragmentation of Wearable. There will be devices for those who want an iPhone on the wrist and devices for those who want a laboratory in the background. Several trends converge: The professionalization of amateur fitness. The medicalization of well -being. And a certain fed up with notifications. The real test will be if these devices continue to loyalty when the novelty passes. Because after all, having hundreds of data on your dream are of no use if you don’t sleep anymore. In Xataka | After almost a decade with the Apple Watch I have spent a Garmin.

La Granola promised to be the perfect breakfast. Now we know that you can behave like an undercover dessert

by

A bowl with yogurt, red fruits and a rain of granola It is the most shared image on social networks When we talk about healthy breakfasts. But, as is usually the case, it is not all gold that shines. Behind the crunchy brightness of toasted oatmeal and dry fruits can hide a trap: as much sugar as a pastry cake and a metabolic effect that triggers hunger in the middle of the morning. The great change of the granola. To understand the phenomenon you have to go back to its origins. The first version was created in 1863 by the doctor James Caleb Jackson and was called “Granula”: Hard comprehensive grains, without sugar, conceived as dietary remedy. Far from what we see today on the shelves of the supermarket. Over time, the recipe was sweet to conquer palates. As The Independent recalls, 153 years later the sugar became an essential ingredient: first with honey and syrups, then with refined. Granola went from a austere food to mass consumption product, with industrial versions that have little “light”. The perfect combo for a sugar climb. The explanation behind this situation is physiological. Jessie Inchauspé, author of The Glucose Goddesss, explained in The Telegraph That the typical combination of granola – oatmeal, honey -free sugars and dehydrated fruit – is the perfect storm to shoot blood glucose. If you take as the first meal of the day and with an empty stomach, the peak is fast and tall. The problem comes later: that high is followed by an abrupt drop that translates into tiredness, hunger and craving as a sweeter. To this is added what Healthline call “ration effect”: Although many brands talk about portions of 30–45 g, it is usual to be served between 60 and 100 g. Double sugar, double calories, without realizing it, it is added that many granars carry vegetable or coconut oils. They are not “bad” in themselves, but they raise caloric density and facilitate excess. Benefits that are still present. Not everything was going to be bad. Despite the bad reputation of the most commercial versions, the granola also retains virtues if the ingredients are chosen well. As Healthline has pointed outoats, nuts and seeds slow down digestion, help control appetite, improve blood pressure, stabilize glucose and nourish intestinal microbiota. To this are added micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and antioxidants that reinforce the immune system and fight inflammation. In parallel, The Telegraph He has cited studies They show how a daily intake of three grams of oats oatmeal can reduce the so -called “bad” cholesterol. So how to integrate it? The majority of nutritionists agree that the granola must play the role of companion and not of breakfast. In The Telegraph They recommend treating it as a toping: A couple of tablespoons on Greek yogurt or kefir, with fresh fruit – specially berries – to add fiber and antioxidants. For its part, According to Healthlineyou have to combine it with healthy protein and fats helps reduce the glycemic impact and prolong satiety. The important thing is not to banish it, but to measure the amount and balance the plate. The verdict. Granola is not the enemy, but neither does the panacea. According to dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine on The Telegraphit can be a healthy breakfast if you opt for low varieties in added sugars, rich in fiber and integral, and always in the recommended ration. Healthline coincides: It is nutritious and satiating, but many industrial versions are dense in calories and sugars. However, the counterpoint puts it The Independentsince he points out that some commercial granars rival sugar with pastries. In those cases, the result is inevitable: glucose peaks, low energy and early hunger.

The greatest economies of tourism, exposed in this graphic revealing

by

Tourism is an important economic engine for many countries. In countries like Spain, Talk about tourism is Talk about recordsbeing the fountain of about 13% of GDP. The Spanish scenario is very aligned with that of other Titans such as Mexico either Italybut there are three countries that are unmarked, being – for much – the greatest economies of tourism. And it is estimated that one of them will turn the tortilla in the next decade: China. The tourism economy. The previous graph is prepared by Visual Capitalist and the largest economies linked to tourism in 2024 are shown. data They correspond to the World Travel & Tourism Council, or WTTC, and the money that tourism contributed to the economy of each country during the last year is explored. The undisputed queen is the United States, being the tourist titan with an estimate of 2,400,000 million that arrived only for tourism and with around 18 million jobs depend on this sector with New York as Main destination. China is in second position, with a tourism sector that contributed $ 1,300 billion to the country’s coffers, practically half of the total of the United States. Far from both of them is Germanywith a tourism that contributed 488,000 million dollars to its economy, and the rest of the top 10 countries are more aligned below 300,000 million. China, heat what you go out. As we say, although in second place, China is far from the United States. However, the WTTC predict That the sorpasso will occur in the next decade, becoming the new queen economy of tourism. The arguments are a Increase in middle class income and a national impulse to accelerate the development of the sector. Not only do they estimate that tourism will contribute 14% of the national GDP (an imposing fact if we take into account that at the moment It is about 19,000 billions of dollars, or 19 billion ours), but it will also be the First Source of Tourists worldwide. By the way, 14% of GDP, if GDP remained as currently, is about 2,600,000 million dollars. Europe. Within the top 10 countries such as Mexico, India or Japan whose GDP also depends largely on tourism, but if something is clear, outside the two Titans, Europe carries the singing voice. Germany is the power, followed by FranceItaly and Spain closing the list. And something that plays in favor of all of them, and that they have in common, is the artistic, cultural and gastronomic heritage so different, also as strong lines of communication thanks to the trains (which now they want to be promoted With new night trains) and To the plane. Dependence. The graphic reflects the money that tourism contributes to the economy, not which country receives more visitors or the relationship between tourism money and GDP. But although for all of them it is a good piece of the cake of the gross domestic product, There are other countries in which this tourism is vital. Tourism in Malta or Croatia, for example, represents about 15% of GDP, and if there are cities that are complain about touristificationin the case of Malta we have a curious case. Account With about 540,000 inhabitants and in 2024 received Approximately 3.5 million tourists. Only during August, he had about 429,000 tourists, which means practically matching the population of the island. And this is a blessing, but also a problem for economies so specialized and under tourism, which may be more vulnerable to crisis.

The Xiaomi Pad 7, the honor Pad 10 and the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro compete in the same land. Only one is reinforced for studies

by

When September arrives, for many it means the same: return to studies. It doesn’t matter the race that is being pursued, having the right tools always makes a difference when rendering to the maximum. The laptop is still a safe bet, but it is not the only one. Tablets have become an increasingly solid optionand in some cases they can even match or overcome the computer in certain tasks. In Xataka we resume our format Versus On our YouTube channelin which we face face -to -face devices to discover which one is worth more. We already did it with Sports watches of less than 200 euros and with Two of Amazon’s most popular air fryers. Now the focus is on three very competitive tablets: Xiaomi Pad 7, Honor pad 10 and Lenovo Idea Tab Pro. Our partner Ana Boria has tried these three models, which They are 350 eurosto check if this budget is sufficient to face your mission. For her, there are undeniable aspects: a large battery “to endure without problem as little, an entire day of institute or university, several storage options, and sufficient processor and RAM.” Although they start from a similar price, their differences are evident. The screen size is the first detail that attracts attention. “Of course, to use them in hand, the most comfortable and manageable is Xiaomi,” says Ana. His impressions about the other two are more critical: one feels too large and another adds more weight than expected. The perspective changes when placing them on the table. “To use them on a table, with keyboard or pencil, The truth is that the 3 are very comfortable. To write a lot or read, you appreciate having an extra inches. ”In addition, not everything is productivity, and in the entertainment section preferences may vary. “The 3 tablets have very good quality LCD screens. It has a lot of resolution, high level of detail, good colors and technologies that help reduce eye fatigue,” he explains. Even so, there are differences in resolution and refreshment rate that should be taken into account. The complete comparison is in the video. Ana also analyzed cameras, sound and performance. “Although on paper and according to Benchmarks, The Xiaomi tablet processor is betterthe truth is that the 3 behave wonderfully, ”he says. None of them gave it problems in their work sessions or in times of leisure. In an academic scenario, accessories make a difference. “For me, without a doubt, the keyboard is an almost mandatory purchase. If you are going to use the tablet to take it to class and take notes and notes, I think it is the most comfortable and quick way to work. I already tell you that when I used the Lenovo, I was missing a lot,” he says. The comparative also covers autonomy and artificial intelligence functions. After reviewing all the points, there is a clear winner. You can discover it in our last Versus: The final verdict is there, ready to help you decide. And if you feel like it, share your opinions in the comments, both here as on YouTube.

After the demonstration of China’s force, the US moves a card sending its new missile platform to Japan

by

China is celebrating. The country commemorates the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan and the end of the Second World War. Within that framework, on September 3, Beijing converted the Tiananmen Square In the center of a demonstration from outside as few have seen to date. More than 10,000 military personnel participated in a parade that lasted about 70 minutes and that the authorities themselves announced as something unpublished for a reason: they were going to present armament that the world had not seen until now. At least in his possession. On the margin of ballistic missiles, the vision of Chinese defense passes through drones, directed energy weapons, New generation combat fighters, Purtive aircraft and A great maritime power which served as a message to the world about the military self -sufficiency from the country and how They can change order in the Pacific. And so without taking into account what we have not seen. Being an extremely sensitive area, especially for Recent encounters with Japan And above all, TaiwanIt is something to take seriously. The United States response has not taken long to arrive: They have confirmed that they will deploy their avant -garde Typhon missile system on Japanese soil within exercises Resolute Dragon. And it is something that China has liked anything, but neither does Russia. Resolute Dragon and the Typhon missiles in Japan Allied forces perform joint exercises. In them they focus on the coordination for the defense of areas in the event of an open war, and those that the United States and Japan do jointly are called Dragon Resolute. The 2025 exercises will be held from September 11 to 25 and will focus on the defense of remote islands of the Japanese archipelago. Thus, the terrestrial self -defense forces of Japan and the United States marines will test their response capacity to an attack, and The great contribution of the United States for the year Resolute Dragon This year is the Typhon missile platform. Also called MID-RANGE CAPABILITY, or MRC, it is a mobile shuttle in standard containers, but that is able to shoot so much Tomahawk missiles like the SM-6. The Tomahawk are subsonic missiles with a flush flight profile capable of conducting precision attacks against terrestrial or naval objectives in a range of between 1,500 to 2,400 kilometers. SM-6 are less striking, since they have a range of 240 kilometers and are more focused on aerial defense, anti-man-and defense against ballistic missiles. The Typhon system can be deployed in heavy vehicles and can be transported by land, sea and air, and although it is not planned that any missile will be launched, its presence alone It has been taken as an attack by China. As we read in Reutersit was a spokesman for the Japanese forces who confirmed that the US will deploy Typhon during the exercises, and the response has arrived by Guo Xiaobing, director of the Center for Weapons Control Studies of China. In a releasesays that, although Japan and the US affirm that the deployment is temporary and will be removed after exercise, you must not trust. The reason? The same said when Typhon deployed In similar exercises in the Philippines during the past year and, according to China, the system has remained there since then. “These movements not only increase the surveillance of neighboring countries, but also represent hidden dangers for Japan’s own security – Guo Xiaobing The manager considers that it is a movement that “directly undermines the legitimate security interests of other countries and raises a real threat to regional strategic stability.” In addition, he affirms that, if a war against the United States explodes, it is likely that “The system becomes a tool that drags Japan towards turbulent waters”and he has not lost the opportunity to remember that “this year 80 years of the end of World War II, something that should cause a deep reflection and a good neighborhood policy, but Tokyo seems anxious to break the armament policy exclusively oriented to the defense.” This, by the way, is not new, since in 2023 we count how JApon broke with seven decades of demilitarization by considerably increasing your military budget. That China has not fun this announcement is a fact, but as we read in Business InsiderRussia does not see it with good eyes either. Maria Zakharova, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, described the maneuver as “another destabilizing step within Washington’s strategy to increase the potential of short and medium -sized land missile missiles”, adding that Typhon’s presence in Japan “It represents a threat direct strategy for Russia”. Until now, as we say, Typhon had only been deployed in logistics maneuvers in the Philippines in April last year, as well as in Australia in July of this 2025. The particularity of the deployment in Australia is that Yes, a shot was done Real of an SM-6 against a maritime objective, demonstrating the anti-mock capacity of the system from the mainland.

The fastest factory keys in the world

by

On the southeast coast of South Korea there is an installation that has somewhat redefined what the mass production of cars means. And it is that the Hyundai plant in Ulsan is not only the largest vehicle factory in the world if we talk about extension, but has managed to integrate manufacturing, quality control and global distribution in such an efficient process that today is capable of producing A new car every ten seconds. The figures speak for themselves. With a manufacturing capacity of 1.5 million vehicles annuallythis installation almost doubles all the production of vehicles of countries like Italywhich has about 23 different factories. To put this productive capacity in perspective, the ULASAN plant could have covered 98% of all sales of new cars in Italy during 2024. Image: Hyundai The secret is in integration. What makes Ulsan unique is not only its size, which reaches more than 485 hectares (the equivalent of 680 soccer fields), but its revolutionary concept: it is the only automotive plant in the world Integrated own port. While other factories must transport their vehicles to external ports, here the cars pass directly from the production line to the ship, eliminating dead times and logistics costs. Mass production. The installation houses five operational factories plus a motor and transmissions plant, with production lines that work 18 hours a day. 17 different models are manufactured, from the Hyundai Santa Fe and Tucson to the entire Genesis range. In fact, a sixth exclusive plant for electric vehicles will open during the first quarter of 2026 To produce genesis. From the line to the ocean in minutes. After passing the quality controls, the newly finished vehicles are directed to a huge parking lot next to the dock. There, specialized drivers They carry them on huge transport ships by steep ramps. Once the load is finished, these same drivers run away on foot and go up to an Hyundai Saria to go to the next vehicle lot. Complete urban transformation. The magnitude of the project has completely transformed the region. When Hyundai began the construction in 1968, Ulsan was a fishing village of 30,000 inhabitants. Today it houses 1.1 million people, and has become the industrial center of South Korea. The presence of Hyundai is so significant that there is even a highway with the name of the company’s founder, and hospitals, schools and restaurants proudly carry the name of the brand. Giant numbers. Every 24 hours A loaded ship comes out of the port of Ulsan. 75% of the annual production is exported to more than 200 countries, with destinations such as California, which receive up to 6,000 vehicles in a single ship after 13 days of crossing through the Pacific. The plant uses 34,000 people directly, more inhabitants than the entire city had when the factory was founded. An unrepeatable model. “This unique way of producing and exporting cars saves as much money and time, and it is the key reason why Hyundai can manufacture so many vehicles every year,” assured A person in charge of the plant. An efficiency model that began in 1968 as a small assembly installation where Ford Cortina was assembled by hand, and today represents the cusp of large -scale automotive production.

Protect Trump is a headache, so the secret service has bought a armored golf car: the Golf Force One

by

That Donald Trump likes golf is not a secret. It spends many hours in some of the fields that its organization continues to manage and, in fact, this sport was A throwing weapon in one of the presidential debates against Biden. It is not uncommon to see the current president driving his golf car, but recently he has seen him with something … strange: a golf car that It looks like the Batmobo And that he has already been nicknamed as ‘golf force one’ in allusion to the imposing Air Force One, the presidential plane. And, contrary to what we can think of first, it is not an eccentricity. The ‘Golf Force One’. A few days ago you could see a curious stamp in the Trump Turnberry field in Scotland, owned by … Trump. The tycoon was about to throw some holes with his son Eric when an army of the typical golf cars was seen accompanying another much more peculiar. It is the one you can see in the following image and that the press soon called ‘Golf Force One’. The minibesty that accompanied Trump In the field a security team formed by controllers for all who wanted to access, as well as different snipers stationed in strategic sites was deployed. Trump was in a conventional car, but this vehicle was followed closely that, as different police sources, affirmed the environment The TelegraphIt was a armored golf buggy. The minibesty. Part of the president of a country is the armored car. In the displacements, the authorities use them as a security component, and if you are Putin, Kim Yong Un (Apart from the car, has a armored train) or the president of the United States, it is evident that you need a armored car. The beast is the presidential armored cara mole that has all types of shields, but also active defensive systems that seem taken from a spy tape. And, obviously, comparisons with Buggy have recently seen there. The vehicle has been identified as a Polaris Ranger xa UTV (‘Utility Task Vehicle’, for its acronym in English), which is basically a robust buggy designed to transport loads on difficult terrain, with traction that is usually 4×4 and with safety systems such as antivuelco cages. Now, this ‘Golf Force One’ is not a Ranger X as it comes out of the factory, but one modified with equipment that is kept secret, but that includes a closed cabin and, at least on the front, a armored windshield. There are no more details, although a White House spokesman confirmed The War Zone that it is a new addition to the presidential fleet of special vehicles. Priorities. Polaris Ranger are not new in US authorities. The base version is sold for $ 20,000 (although Trump’s must cost a lot, much more due to that armor pack) and have been seen in border patrol tasks. Returning to the golf course, he saw the president driving his ‘cart’, but the ‘Golf Force One’ followed him closely. And it is something that is not only logical, but also necessary. In the golf courses there is a very strict regulation on vehicles that can circulate on the grass, since too much weight can ruin it. A armored glass is not particularly light, but a reinforced UTV is still weighing less than the beast and its nine tons. Follow it closely while Trump moves in his conventional car makes sense for a rapid extraction maneuver for any danger, and it is a safety measure more in an environment than It is a headache For your entourage of bodyguards. Polaris models to patrol the border It makes … meaning. A golf course, however private it is, is a huge open space, turning the players into very simple whites. In July 2024, the attempted murder during a rally held in Pennsylvania He went down in history For the powerful photographs that were captured and what resonated worldwide, but although it did not make so much noise, in September of that same year there was a second attempt. While the future president played at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida, another of his fields, an agent of the Secret service He saw something suspicious near the fence of one of the holes: a overshadowed face and the barrel of a rifle. The alleged shooter was caught And he is in prison waiting for trial, evidencing what we comment: a golf course makes you an easy target … and a armored buggy can be a good way to protect the president. In the end, beyond that it is a vehicle with all the meaning, Trump’s picture driving his car while the ‘golf Force One’ and a retahla of conventional buggys follow it is … curious.

Before the great fire wave in Spain, science already has a culprit of its propagation: climate change

by

This 2025 It has been a devastating year for Spain and Portugal Because of the A large amount of forest fires that they have been giving, In many cases intentionallybut that were fueled without control. A new scientific analysis has concluded that the climatic crisis has played a determining role, multiplying by 40 the probability that the extreme weather conditions that fueled the flames would be given. Not just that. The study determines that these phenomena were 30% more intense than they would have been in a world without global warming. And this is important to highlight it: the study does not indicate that climate change causes fires, but they intensify their force of destruction when they make them uncontrollable more likely. Putting figures. The reportprepared by the World Weather Attribution network, put figures to a catastrophe of historical dimensions. On September 1, the fires had calcined about 380,000 hectares in Spain and 260,000 in Portugal. In total, 640,000 hectares, an area four times higher than that of London and represents approximately 1% of the surface of the Iberian Peninsula. In historical terms, for Spain 2025 it will close as the fifth year with the highest burned surface since there are records in 1961. If we are going to European, we can affirm that the worst year since The EFFIS system (European Forest Fire Information System) began registering data in 2006, with more than one million hectares calcined, being two thirds of those corresponding to Spain and Portugal. Impresses researchers. “The size of these fires has been amazing”, affirms Clair Barnes, scientist at Imperial College in London and co -author of the study. “Warmer, dry and flammable conditions are becoming more severe with climate change and are giving rise to fires of an unprecedented intensity.” And it is that the surprise is logical. According to the data they have analyzed, they point out that these extreme risk conditions for the propagation of fire will be given every 15 years with the current climate. This is something that only happened once every 500 years in the preindustrial era. An explosive cocktail. The fuel of these megaincendios was an unprecedented weather situation. The large amount of fires occurred during a heat wave in Spain that was one of the longest ever registered, with a duration of 16 days (from August 3 to 18). But it was not only the longest, but also the most intense, with an upper 4.6 ° C temperature anomaly compared to a pre -industrial climate. The impact of climate change in this extreme heat is even more pronounced. According to the analysis, a ten -day heat wave as intense as the lived is now an event that is expected once every 13 years. Before humans began to heat our environment, such a heat was extremely rare and it was only expected to happen less than once every 2,500 years. It is not just the weather. Although the report points to climate change as the great amplifier, it is not the only factor. Scientists highlight that both in Spain and Portugal, rural depopulation and population aging have left large extensions of forest land without managing, creating a massive accumulation of dry vegetation that acts as a perfect fuel. One of the examples that is put is in the decrease of traditional practices such as extensive grazing has reduced natural control over that vegetation. David García, applied mathematician of the University of Alicante and co -author of the study, points out that the public debate in Spain has focused a lot on the decline of these rural activities. It points to that “much less the effect of climate change has been discussed in these fires, which, as has been demonstrated, has been immense.” To this is added that human ignition, whether accidental or intention, is behind about 90% of fires whose causes are identified. With huge fuel loads and extreme weather conditions, minor human actions can trigger catastrophic results. The science behind. To reach these conclusions, the research team analyzed the weather conditions that the fires propitiate using the daily severity index (DSR), which is a metric derived from the Canada Fire Meteorological Index (FWI). In summary, this index combines long -term rainfall data, temperature, humidity and wind to estimate the probability and severity of a fire. In this way, the scientists compared the meteorological data observed in the current climate (which has been heated from the pre -industrial era) with a counterfactual of how these conditions would be in a climate without that warming. In this way, with the methodology used, the “footprint” of climate change in a specific extreme event can be isolated and quantified. The result. The climatic crisis is taking the ecosystems and response capacity to the limit. For the first time, Spain activated the EU Civil Protection mechanism to request help in the fight against forest fires, and now they are already raised to apply new regulations with the aim of preparing for the future that awaits our country.

That the mobile is updated is a long -awaited moment, but for my mother it is a nuisance. And the worst thing is right

by

“Nena, look at the mobile phone that I don’t know what happened that everything has changed. I can’t find anything,” said my mother just a few days ago. I looked at my mobile and understood what was happening, Your mobile had been updated. They are two very different realities: what would be a reason for joy for me is an awkward moment. This has made me consider that there are enough reasons to update may not be something positive. What if you are right? When updates are a nuisance In my family all They turn to me when they need to be configured by a deviceI am something like “the computer niece.” It is not the first time that An update causes the bewilderment of my relatives, especially the older ones. Every time a new one arrives, especially if it is a larger update of Android, I know that it awaits me a good time of: “I had that otherwise” and “you have changed everything.” Even if there is every time More elderly connectedthe generational digital divide It is a reality. In the case of my parents, they are handled quite well sailing and using different devices, but his Kriptonite They are the changes and if they are unexpected even worse. When the mobile is updated, the design of the icons or the arrangement of the menus changes, this causes a Rupture in muscle memory. It has also happened to me when reorganizing my home screen and wanting to open an app, but not find it. I have got used to quickly, but it is true that at first it is a nuisance. For my parents, spending time to learn the new interface and configure the new functions is an unnecessary complication. Beyond fear of change There are people fleeing updates for other reasons. If something has taught us history is that Sometimes updating is not a good idea. There have been few cases of Updates that have gone wrong. On the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple admitted that An iOS 17 bug was causing them to heat more than normal and another update made the iPhone restart unexpectedly. It has also passed on Android, like when The update to One UI 6.1 did not feel good to some Samsung Galaxy or when OnePlus had to stop an update Because I was full of errors. Image: Xataka Android Then there is the problem of old mobiles. In Android, Update support has improved a lotbut lower ranges mobiles do not usually go from the two years of updates. And it makes sense since many times the new versions make the hardware work more and that translates into performance falls or batteries that last a sigh. Apple starred in a controversial sound after admitting that reduced the performance of the oldest iPhone intentionallysupposedly to protect the battery life. Many people are expected to update major versions until they are sure that they are not causing errors like the ones we have mentioned. Even There are those who avoid updating completely. It is not the most recommended since Many contain crucial security patchesbut The tendency not to update exists, And it does not only come for fear of change or older people. The hype has been deflanding I remember a few years ago We constantly talked about the problem of Android fragmentation. It is a problem that Still therebut it seems that It is no longer the drama of yesteryear. As we said, manufacturers have greatly improved their update support and Offer seven years is already becoming a standard. Another factor that has influenced is the European law that dictates that mobiles and tablets They must be updated for at least five years. Image: Xataka Android In the case of iOS, the platform I have used for years, we do not have the problem of fragmentation, but in general there has been a tendency to More continuous updates that did not bring many striking changes. We have matured as users, he Jailbreak It has become fashionable and he root In Android it sounds like a thing of the past. In general, the desire we had to install the newest and customize our mobile phones to the extreme has been deflating. Suddenly I’m my mother The Liquid Glass of iOS interface 26. Image: Ricardo Aguilar for Xataka Apple wants us to get excited again with iOS 26, which with the Liquid Glass interface supposes The biggest design change from iOS 7there is nothing. The first time I saw her It caused me rejection; I think that transparent icons lose the essence of what has always been iOS, not to mention that I have serious doubts that readability is good. Some time ago I would have installed the beta on my personal mobile, in a kamikaze plan, but I have not done it. With the final update when I fall, I realize that It doesn’t make me very excited Have to “learn” the new interface. In the end my mother will be right.
