Samsung Galaxy 22 Is Coming, iPhone 13 is bad for users, best robot vacuums, and more

November 6, 2021

Yeah, sure, the iPhone 13 and the Pixel 6 are the bee’s knees. They’re the latest and greatest in the smartphone world. Right now. But this is the world of tech, and let’s be honest, settling for what we have today is just never our style, right?

So, of course, we’re already looking forward to the next great flagship: the Samsung Galaxy S22. Or whatever it will be called (it’ll probably be that). Samsung typically announces new phones early in the year, and that means information is already leaking. We’ve got a good view of the cameras (no bump!), the processor (this one is a surprise!), and more. Hit up the top story for more details.

Other Highlights:

• Speaking of gift guides, we gathered together a list of the very best robot vacuums you can buy—for any budget.
• This new AI-powered brake system could change cars forever.
• According to iFixit, Apple’s changes to the iPhone 13 prevent DIY screen repairs using “unprecedented” methods. It’s pretty bad. Only Apple can repair your cracked screen now. At least if you want all the features to work.
• …and more!
