01 A James Dyson Award Journey • Making a difference was what drew Yajat, Shrivardhan, Sparsh, and Manas together to take part in the James Dyson Award 2024.

02 SOLID, BUT UNFINISHED • Apple’s newest flagship phones, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, have once again captured attention despite missing some of their most anticipated features at launch. One key omission? Apple Intelligence.

04 Excellent Open-Style Earbuds • Apple has unveiled the AirPods 4, its latest open-ear earbuds that now come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for the first time.

05 60% There • Smaller form factor keyboards like 60% keyboards have become increasingly popular in recent years. I spent a few weeks with the Logitech G Pro X 60 to see how it measures up against the competition.

06 Striking A Good Balance • There’s no shortage of feature-packed and relatively affordable earbuds these days. The latest addition to this crowded space is the Oppo Enco Air4 Pro. Like many of its rivals in this price segment, the Enco Air4 Pro comes with features normally found on pricier earbuds.

The Pro XL adds a 6.8-inch Super Actua Display and hefty 5,060mAh battery.
