Between the new Macs, iPhones and rumored AI gadgets, Apple surprised us with an upgraded, second-generation AirTag. It has Apple\u2019s latest Ultra Wideband chip \u2014 the same one used in the iPhone 17 lineup and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. It also uses Precision Finding to reach items up to 50 percent further away than the previous AirTag model. This feature will now work with any Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer.<\/p>\n

Apple says the new tag is 50 percent louder and features a \u201cdistinctive new chime.\u201d So you can show off that you\u2019ve got the new kind of AirTag. Sadly, there\u2019s still no keyring hole, so you might want to invest in a holder\u2026 with a keyring. There are cheaper options<\/a> than Apple\u2019s leather version, fortunately. I personally like Elevation Lab\u2019s AirTag Wallet Holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With its two protagonists, the game alternates between gory action and tension.<\/p>\n

Capcom is attempting a delicate balancing act with Resident Evil Requiem. The ninth mainline entry seems to split between the gory action of Resident Evil 4 and the claustrophobic dread of Resident Evil 7. After a four-hour hands-on, the distinction is clear: Leon Kennedy handles the heavy lifting with (mostly) violence, while newcomer Grace navigates a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse in a hospital filled with zombies and other monstrosities.<\/p>\n

Requiem introduces \u201cnuanced\u201d zombies who retain fragments of their past lives \u2014 think blind patients or territorial chefs you can distract.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of bugs.<\/p>\n

TikTok says it\u2019s still working to fix the \u201cmultiple bugs\u201d in its US service following a power outage at one of its data centers. Users are having issues logging in and uploading videos and are seeing strange behavior from the \u201cfor you\u201d algorithm. Some creators have also noticed that new uploads seem to be getting no views or likes.<\/p>\n

The company released a statement yesterday saying a power outage had caused a \u201ccascading systems failure\u201d that is still affecting the app. The statement, however, didn\u2019t address reported issues with the app\u2019s recommendation algorithm. Since Sunday, users have reported seeing a wave of generic videos flood their feeds, which are usually hyper-personalized to the user.<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to reveal its new Siri in \u201cthe second half of February,\u201d demonstrating some new Gemini-powered capabilities \u2014 whatever they may be.<\/p>\n

After this, Gurman said the new Siri will be available in iOS 26.4, which is also slated to enter beta testing in February before its public release in March or early April. It\u2019s been a long time coming; Apple teased its next-gen Siri back at WWDC 2024, but it\u2019s still not made it to devices.<\/p>\n
