Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 and Watch Ultra might have Apple-inspired looks, according to leaked photos

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Another day, another Samsung Galaxy leak. This time, notable industry leaker Evan Blass posted new high resolution photographs of two pairs of Galaxy Buds and two Galaxy Watch models on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter). 

The images don’t reveal any new information; instead, they do two important jobs: one, reaffirm details mentioned in past rumors, and two, show just how much of an inspiration Apple was to Samsung when developing these products.

As 9To5Google points out, Samsung seems to have taken several cues from their tech rival. The Galaxy Buds 3, for example, look incredibly similar to AirPods, sporting an open design, monochrome body, and long stem jutting from the main body. This matches a report from June 21 that first mentioned the stem. There are a few defining characteristics that allow the Buds 3 to stand out from the AirPods, though. 

Reportedly, the Galaxy Buds 3' stem has a black divider down the middle and blue and orange accents at the bottom to signify which bud goes into the left ear and which goes into the right. It’s a small touch, but it does give the monochrome devices a nice flair.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, on the other hand, sticks with a more traditional look, supposedly keeping the silicone tip like previous generations.

Wearable similarities

When it comes to wearables, you’ll notice the Galaxy Watch Ultra bears a resemblance to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, with a few differences. The watch face is square-shaped although Samsung’s device is more circular and the side power button has a prominent orange accent. 

Additionally, the spring pin connector attaching the band to the watch face has been replaced by a new system that, as you can probably guess, looks similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 mechanism. Even the wristband looks a lot alike, featuring a vibrant shade of orange adorning its ribbed design. 

Much like the Buds 3 Pro, the Galaxy Watch 7 sticks close to the Galaxy Watch 6. The spring pin connector is back, the watch face is still round, and silver is returning as a color option, although there will be a new color scheme at launch – olive green. This device also has blue and orange accents throughout its build. The Ultra model only has orange markings. 

Samsung’s next Unpacked event kicks off on July 10, and we expect the wearables and earbuds to make their official appearance on the big day alongside the long-awaited Galaxy Ring. Be sure to stay tuned for our coverage.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...
