OnePlus Buds renders leaked, will come with Dolby Atmos
Costs less than US$ 100
Especially with today’s current market saturation, it’s a surprise that we’re excited for a new pair of wireless earbuds launching soon. OnePlus is doing something right. Because of its renewed social media blitzing strategy, the company has garnered a huge amount of hype for the upcoming OnePlus Nord and the OnePlus Buds. Now, as we brace for the much-awaited launch, a few more details have leaked about the new devices, including a few leaked OnePlus Buds renders.
Though most of the spotlight is on the midrange series, OnePlus has already confirmed exciting specs on the OnePlus Buds. For one, the charging case will supposedly last for up to 30 hours. Meanwhile, the pair will put out music for seven hours. Not a bad deal, considering the device will reportedly weight a bit lighter than other products out in the market.
Spoiled by 9to5Google, we also now know that the OnePlus Buds will come in Black, White, and Blue. We already saw the Blue variant on the ears of OnePlus boss Carl Pei in a recent video. Plus, an official promotional poster also revealed the Black variant. The White variant is a surprise, though. Also, the Blue variant’s charging case will come in a brilliant lime green.
Further, the pair will come in a slightly more circular charging case, not unlike the Huawei Freebuds 3. As for the pair’s design, they look more angular than other, more free-flowing designs in the market.
For performance, a leaked APK reveals Dolby Atmos compatibility and a useful Find My Device feature. It’s expected to cost less than US$ 100.
Still, we’re excited to hear more about the upcoming device soon, if the leaked OnePlus Buds renders are anything to go by. OnePlus will launch the OnePlus Nord and the OnePlus Buds in an event scheduled tomorrow.
In a few short hours, Apple is scheduled to host an event for its iPad lineup. While the event’s invite makes no mention of the tablets directly, the graphic includes an Apple Pencil. Whatever is happening, tablets are involved. Now, we have a clearer idea of what’s coming in today’s event.
Via MacRumors, Apple’s Japanese website currently has a reference in its code to something called the “Apple Pencil Pro.”
It’s not a direct reference. Rather, it’s an alternative text to an included graphic on the homepage. “Folded green, yellow, orange and blue paper forms the Apple logo. Inside the logo, you can see the creator’s hand holding the Apple Pencil Pro and drawing,” it reads (albeit translated, of course).
Given the proximity to today’s event, the name might be more than a coincidence. Apple might actually release an Apple Pencil Pro later today.
However, tempering expectations a bit, the spotted reference is available only on the Japanese website. Other countries do not have the same caption. It’s possible that it’s just a translation error. It also doesn’t help that the graphic doesn’t actually depict a new Pencil.
If anything, Apple’s stylus needs an update. The Pencil hasn’t received a major overhaul since 2018’s second-generation model.

F1’s Daniel Ricciardo spotted with an unreleased Beats Pill
LeBron James was also spotted with the same thing
In a world inundated with leaks, spotting an unreleased device out in the wild is less of a spectacle these days. However, there are still some sneak peeks that manage to catch our eyes. One such example is the sudden appearance of an unreleased Beats Pill in the hands of F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.
A Beats Pill is not an easy speaker to find these days. After all, the company discontinued the last one back in 2022. Unless they particularly love old devices, it’s likely not a coincidence if a popular personality is somehow toting one out in public.
In preparation for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix this weekend, Daniel Ricciardo, who currently races for the Visa Cash App RB team, strolled into the paddock carrying a golden Beats Pill. It’s also interesting that the Pill is positioned perfectly to display the Beats logo.
As if that’s not a sure sign already, LeBron James was also spotted with the same speaker before a game back in April. Serendipitously, the pictured speaker swung perfectly to display the Beats logo in the NBA star’s photo.
Because Beats has not announced a revival yet, it’s difficult to see what the audio company has in store for its next portable speaker. However, one thing’s for sure: A new lanyard will make it easier to carry around. It’s also safe to assume that the device will come with USB-C this time around.
