Everyone else is doing it, so naturally it appears that Google is lining up a custom chip to power upcoming Pixel phones. 9to5Google has the details on what "Whitechapel" might be when Google's new mobiles launch this fall, but really I'm just excited to see what is possible when Android hardware and software development works so closely together.
Apple's growing reliance on custom hardware has had benefits in battery life and performance, and if it comes to the Android side, hopefully it benefits not only Google's own phones, but also those made by other manufacturers. Still, any Pixel 6 launch is months away, so there's plenty of time left to speculate while re-reading Amazon's "apology" for tweeting that its workers don't pee in bottles.
And the price of Anker's AirPods Pro rivals dropped down to $100.
Apple's MacBook Pro M1 returned to its all-time-low price of $950 and the new, swiveling Echo Show 10 received its first discount since debuting in February, dropping to $210. Amazon knocked down the prices of its Fire tablets, too, including the Fire HD 10, which is still $55 off.

That said, the face-tracking feature only works with Belkin's app — you can't use the mount with Zoom or FaceTime and expect it to follow you around, as well.
If that limitation doesn't bother you, take note that the $65 device is also compatible with official MagSafe cases and links to social networks. Continue reading.
Lots of folks are trying to recreate the experience at home, but to get anything close to a real cinema experience, a TV won't do. Instead, you'll want the immersive, large-screen, darkened-room experience of a projector.
Regardless of what type of projector you're going for, it's now possible to get a 4K HDR model that can project up to a 150-inch image for as little as $1,000. That's around the same price as a decent 65-inch TV, and you're getting a picture that's two and half times larger. You'll be happy as long as you temper your expectations and know what to expect, and that's where this guide comes in. Continue reading.
