Apple’s first standalone Siri app, coming in iOS 27, will include an auto-delete function for chat histories that borrows from the Messages app. Users will be able to configure the app to retain conversations for 30 days, one year, or indefinitely. The feature, reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter on Sunday, is designed to position Apple’s approach to AI privacy as structurally different from competitors that offer temporary or incognito chat modes as optional settings users must manually enable.

The Siri app will function as a chatbot akin to ChatGPT or Claude, serving as a repository for past conversations that users can search, continue, or delete. It can be accessed either through the standard Siri activation, via the side button or wake word, or through a new “Search or Ask” mode triggered by swiping down from the top centre of the screen. The app will support both voice and text input, file uploads, and web-sourced answers with images and bullet points. Users will be able to choose whether the app opens to a grid of prior conversations or a new chat each time.

The privacy architecture is Apple’s competitive differentiator, and also its excuse. Competing chatbots rely heavily on conversation histories and memory systems to personalise responses and improve over time. Apple is placing tighter limits on what information can persist and how long it is retained, building the restrictions into the system itself rather than offering them as optional modes. Meta launched a temporary chat feature just last week. Apple’s position is that such protections should not require users to opt in.

The strategic context makes the privacy framing more interesting than it appears on the surface. Apple has quietly replaced much of its own AI infrastructure with Google’s Gemini, paying roughly $1 billion annually for a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter model that will power the next-generation Siri. The company’s existing partnership with OpenAI is fraying, with OpenAI’s lawyers preparing possible legal action over a ChatGPT-Siri deal that failed to deliver the subscription revenue OpenAI expected. iOS 27 will introduce a system called Extensions that allows users to install rival AI chatbots and route Siri queries through whichever model they choose, including Claude and Gemini, effectively downgrading ChatGPT from a privileged partner to one option among several.

Gurman notes that Apple has been less specific about how the new Siri infrastructure will be hosted and operated at scale. The company has said the revamped Siri will use Private Cloud Compute, its extension of the iPhone’s security model into the cloud, but has not confirmed that it will rely on the same Apple-designed chips, data centres, and security architecture as the current system. The implication is that Google’s cloud infrastructure will handle some of the workload, something Apple does not want to emphasise given the tension with its privacy messaging.

The auto-delete feature is clever positioning regardless of whether the privacy argument is fully coherent. By defaulting to structured retention limits rather than permanent storage, Apple can claim its AI assistant is designed to forget, a contrast to systems that are designed to remember everything in order to improve. Whether users will value that distinction depends on whether they notice the trade-off: a Siri that forgets your preferences after 30 days is also a Siri that cannot learn from your history the way ChatGPT or Claude can.

Perhaps the most revealing detail in Gurman’s report is that the new Siri may launch as a beta, even after a two-year delay. The revamped assistant was originally scheduled for 2024. Test versions of iOS 27 within Apple currently use a beta label for the new Siri and include a toggle allowing users to opt out. Apple is simultaneously developing AI smart glasses for 2027 that will use the same Gemini-powered Siri as their primary interface, meaning the assistant needs to work reliably across multiple form factors by next year.

Gurman frames the stakes clearly: Tim Cook does not want his final launch as CEO to be a misstep. Apple got “some slack” with the original Apple Intelligence rollout in 2024, but the competitive and regulatory landscape has shifted. Google’s Gemini has grown its web traffic share from 5.7% to 21.5%. The EU is preparing to force both Apple and Google to open their AI assistants to rivals under the Digital Markets Act. Android 17, announced at Google I/O this week, will ship with a Gemini Intelligence system and a new Googlebook laptop platform. Apple is entering this environment with a Siri that is two years late, powered by a competitor’s model, and potentially still labelled as unfinished.

The Genmoji upgrade is the lightest piece of the iOS 27 picture but speaks to the same pattern. Apple’s AI-generated emoji feature was poorly received at launch: images looked nothing like the advertisements, and the models used so much power that phones would heat up and drain their batteries. iOS 27 will add “Suggested Genmoji,” automatically generated from a user’s photos and commonly typed phrases, in an attempt to increase adoption of a feature that was supposed to demonstrate Apple Intelligence’s consumer appeal.

Apple’s privacy argument arrives at a moment when the concept has never been more salient in consumer hardware. Meta is facing lawsuits and regulatory investigations over how its Ray-Ban smart glasses handle user footage. Google’s Android XR glasses will ship with cameras and Gemini AI. Snap is launching consumer AR specs with built-in AI. In this environment, an AI assistant that auto-deletes your conversations and does not train on your data is a genuine differentiator, provided the assistant itself is good enough that people want to use it. That is the question Apple has been unable to answer for 15 years. Whether Gemini, a beta label, and a privacy toggle change the answer will be clear by September.

Discarded laptops gather dust in homes everywhere yet many still carry excellent displays worth saving. One maker pulled panels from three different machines to test a straightforward conversion into standalone monitors anyone can tackle at home. Results prove the idea works best with newer screens and delivers a custom display for a fraction of store prices.

When you open the laptop lid, the model number on the rear allows you to quickly go to panelook.com and find out everything you need to know about the backlight type, resolution, and connection standard. LED lights combined with LVDS or eDP will be your go-tos because they require only one cable and produce a nice image. Older panels with cold cathode tubes, on the other hand, will be dark and lose viewing angles quickly, since they require a separate inverter, which is inconvenient, so you can simply leave those on the shelf.

Driver boards that are matched to the specific model of your panel can be purchased online for around $20. The ones with an HDMI input and a barrel connector are suitable for desktop use, whilst the USB-C variants can handle power and video simultaneously and are ideal for travel. Inserting the board into the screen edge connector takes no time at all. Then power on, then connect your video source, and presto, your display will come to life right immediately, with sharp colors and consistent performance if you have a nice panel.

The most difficult part is housing the item because the bare displays are delicate and thin. Using a 3D printed casing is the answer since it generates slotted channels that allow the panel to simply fit in. One design includes a back enclosure for the driver board, as well as cutouts for input selection buttons. A few short screws keep the board in place, while the outer shell covers the edges without adding too much weight. Minor glue repairs were required on the older prints since the support material kept coming away, but the current copies print perfectly and close up neatly around the screens.

When testing is completed, the results are almost immediate. Simply plug in an HDMI connection from your laptop or camera, and your monitor will display all of the content without lag. It also remains bright even in brighter settings, and the small form allows you to place it beneath a larger screen or in a bag for work on the road. One person placed one of these units next to his camera for live feed monitoring, while another utilized the USB-C variant as a quick second screen for chat and music apps.

The Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 hacking contest has concluded, with security researchers collecting $1,298,250 in rewards after exploiting 47 zero-day flaws.

The competition took place at the OffensiveCon conference from May 14 to May 16 and focused on enterprise technologies and artificial intelligence.

Throughout the contest, the hackers targeted fully patched products across web browsers, enterprise applications, local privilege escalation, servers, local inference, cloud-native/container environments, virtualization, and LLM categories.

Competitors collected $523,000 in cash awards on the first day for 24 unique zero-days, and another $385,750 on the second day for exploiting 15 zero-days. On the third day of Pwn2Own, they earned another $389,500 for eight more zero-days.

DEVCORE won this year’s edition of Pwn2Own Berlin with 50.5 Master of Pwn points and $505,000 in rewards throughout the three-day contest after hacking Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Edge, and Windows 11, followed by STARLabs SG with $242,500 (25 points) and Out Of Bounds with $95,750 (12.75 points).

​The competition’s highest reward was $200,000, awarded to Cheng-Da Tsai (also known as Orange Tsai) of the DEVCORE Research Team after chaining three bugs to gain remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges on Microsoft Exchange.

On the first day, Orange Tsai earned another $175,000 for a Microsoft Edge sandbox escape chaining 4 logic bugs, Windows 11 was hacked 3 times, and Valentina Palmiotti (chompie) of IBM X-Force Offensive Research collected $70,000 for rooting Red Hat Linux for Workstations and an NVIDIA Container Toolkit zero-day.

On the second day, the hackers demonstrated another Windows 11 local privilege escalation vulnerability, a root-privilege escalation vulnerability in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations, and zero-days in multiple AI coding agents.

On the third and final day of the contest, the competitors hacked Windows 11 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations again, and used a memory corruption bug to exploit VMware ESXi.

After Pwn2Own ends, vendors have 90 days to release security patches before TrendMicro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) publicly discloses them.

During last year’s Pwn2Own Berlin contest, won by the STAR Labs SG team, ZDI awarded 1,078,750 for 29 zero-day flaws and some bug collisions.

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is designed to “support the joy of everyday photography”, and promises healthy upgrades over its predecessor.

While we’ve noted everything that’s new with Sony’s flagship in our Sony Xperia 1 VIII vs Xperia 1 VII guide, we’re also interested to see how it measures up to the five-star Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Considering we hailed Oppo’s camera flagship as a “massive achievement and an absolute powerhouse”, the Sony Xperia 1 VIII has a lot to live up to.

We’ve compared the Xperia 1 VIII to the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and noted the main differences – plus any noteworthy similarities – between the two Android phones below.

Read on to see how the Xperia 1 VIII looks set to compare to the Find X9 Ultra. Once you’re done here, make sure you visit our round-ups of the best Android phones and best camera phones too.

Specs Comparison Table

Price and Availability

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is currently available for pre-order and will officially launch in mid-June. It comes in two size options, 256GB or 1TB, and has a starting RRP of £1399/€1499.

In comparison, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra is ready to buy now and has a slightly higher starting price of £1449.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra has a much larger battery

With a capacity of 7050mAh, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra boasts one of the largest batteries around, but what does that really mean in real-world terms? We found that on less demanding days without too much scrolling, the Find X9 Ultra ended days with around 60-70% battery remaining. Even on busy days with plenty of photography, playing demanding games and other general use, the phone rarely dipped beneath the 40% mark.

This means the handset can easily see you through a second day without needing a top-up, although this will depend on your personal usage.

In comparison, the Sony Xperia 1 VIII is fitted with a smaller 5000mAh battery – the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Despite the average size, Sony promises the phone should see two days of battery. We’ll have to wait until we review the handset to verify those claims, however it’s worth noting that Sony promised the same for the Xperia 1 VII and we found that, although it was possible, it wasn’t easy to reach day two.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra has five rear cameras

Both the Xperia 1 VIII and Find X9 Ultra’s headline feature is undoubtedly their camera set-up. As mentioned earlier, Sony promises that the Xperia 1 VIII is designed to help users capture “better photos” and “support the joy of everyday photography”. 

The Xperia 1 VIII is fitted with three rear 48MP lenses, including a main, ultrawide and a new telephoto that’s four times larger than its predecessor’s own. All three lenses, according to Sony, should deliver low-light performance that’s comparable to a full-frame sensor, allowing for clear imaging even in dark environments.

Otherwise, the Find X9 Ultra is fitted with four brilliant rear lenses, alongside a fifth “true colour” camera that keeps the white balance and tones aligned across the line-up. The four lenses include a 200MP main which boasts a massive f/1.5 aperture that takes in plenty of light, a 200MP 3x telephoto, a 50MP 10x periscope and a 50MP ultrawide.

We really didn’t have a bad word to say about the Find X9 Ultra’s cameras, with all lenses performing brilliantly. In fact, the 200MP 3x telephoto was an especially great performer, and one we expect you will use more than you might expect.

Overall, the Find X9 Ultra takes brilliantly detailed images across most lighting conditions, and easily challenges Apple and Google’s own flagships. 

Both run on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

Unsurprisingly for flagship Androids, both the Xperia 1 VIII and Find X9 Ultra are fitted with Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. While we’re yet to review the Xperia 1 VIII, we’ve reviewed plenty of phones sporting Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and have rarely been left disappointed. With this in mind, we expect the Xperia 1 VIII to perform well.

Specifically within the Find X9 Ultra, we had very little complaints about the handset’s performance. Everything from scrolling to intensive gaming ran as smoothly as we’d like, with everything feeling slick and responsive. 

Sony Xperia 1 VIII has a headphone jack and a newly designed speaker unit

Unlike the Find X9 Ultra, the Sony Xperia 1 VIII is fitted with a 3.5mm headphone jack which Sony explains enables high-quality audio support using wired headphones, thanks to sound quality inherited from Walkman. 

In addition, the Xperia 1 VIII boasts newly developed left and right speaker units which are promised to deliver “further advances in stereo performance”. Sony promises that the speakers reproduce voices and instruments with greater clarity and richness than before.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra has a larger display and is heavier

With a 6.8-inch display, the Find X9 Ultra isn’t quite as small as the 6.5-inch Xperia 1 VIII but it falls slightly shy of Galaxy S26 Ultra. Size aside, we hailed the Find X9 Ultra’s panel as a “treat”, thanks to its QHD+ resolution, LTPO-enabled 120Hz refresh rate and impressively thin surrounding bezel too.

Sony has more or less kept things the same with this year’s Xperia 1 VIII, with the phone sporting the same FHD+ panel as its predecessor. This certainly is no bad thing, as we concluded the Xperia 1 VII’s screen to be “difficult to fault.”

Early Verdict

It’s difficult to provide a conclusive verdict as we haven’t reviewed the Sony Xperia 1 VIII just yet. However, with Sony promising a larger telephoto lens, better sound quality and two-days of battery, the Xperia 1 VIII is undoubtedly an appealing option.

Even so, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra really impressed us. Not only does it boast one of the most complete camera set-ups around, but its mighty battery easily offers two days of battery while its 6.8-inch panel is a delight to use. Easily one of the best camera phones around, keen photographers and power users will struggle to find a better option than the Find X9 Ultra.

We’ll be sure to update this versus once we review the Xperia 1 VIII.

Apple is reportedly preparing one of the biggest Siri redesigns in years with iOS 27, but even after multiple delays, the company may still label the upgraded assistant as a beta product. According to reports from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, internal test versions of iOS 27 already refer to the revamped Siri as a beta experience and include an option allowing users to leave the Siri beta entirely.

The move would be unusually familiar for longtime Apple users. When Apple originally introduced Siri in 2011, the assistant itself launched under a beta label before Apple quietly removed the branding in 2013. Despite that, Siri has continued to face criticism for lagging behind competitors in reliability, conversational abilities, and overall intelligence.

Apple’s AI catch-up strategy is taking longer than expected

The revamped Siri was originally expected to arrive in 2024 as part of Apple’s broader AI push. However, multiple reports now suggest the project has faced delays of nearly two years.

According to Gurman’s reporting, Apple is rebuilding Siri into a more advanced chatbot-style assistant capable of handling ongoing conversations, contextual memory, and deeper app integration. The redesign could also introduce a standalone Siri app, chat-style interactions similar to messaging apps, and integration with the Dynamic Island interface on supported iPhones.

The issue for Apple is timing. While Apple continues refining Siri, rivals like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and other Android-based AI systems have already rolled out advanced conversational assistants with broader real-world capabilities.

That gap has increasingly made Siri feel outdated compared to competing AI products, especially as Apple continues marketing Apple Intelligence as a major part of the iPhone experience.

Why the beta label matters

If Apple officially launches the new Siri as a beta feature in iOS 27, it could serve two purposes. First, it gives Apple flexibility to continue refining the assistant publicly after launch while lowering expectations around bugs, hallucinations, or missing features. Second, it allows the company to release AI features sooner rather than waiting for a more polished final version.

The beta branding would also reflect the broader challenge Apple currently faces in AI. Unlike competitors that prioritize rapid deployment, Apple has historically focused more heavily on stability, privacy, and controlled rollouts.

Reports also suggest Apple is introducing stronger privacy controls into Siri’s AI experience, including optional auto-delete settings for conversation history.

What happens next

Apple is expected to reveal more about Siri’s redesign and its AI roadmap during WWDC next month. Developer beta versions of iOS 27 will likely be the first public look at the new Siri experience.

However, the larger question remains whether Apple’s slower, more cautious AI rollout can still compete in a market where rivals have spent the last two years aggressively pushing generative AI into mainstream consumer products.

For now, Siri’s overhaul appears less like a finished comeback and more like Apple finally arriving at the AI race – still mid-development.
