Lamtto RC37 CarPlay Auto Display review: For old cars
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Bright 11-inch screen Pre-installed apps Four audio output options Two different mounting methods Rear camera included Fast response times Cons May not fit in every car Camera installation requires a bit of fiddling Touch controls can also be used whilst driving Our Verdict Anyone looking to retrofit an older vehicle with CarPlay and who has sufficient space in the cockpit will find the Lamtto Car Infotainment System to be a solution featuring a large screen, flexible audio output and, as a bonus, a back camera. Price at time of review This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Price Today Price When Reviewed $139.99 Best Prices Today: Lamtto RC37 11 Smart In-Cell CarPlay & Android Auto Display Retailer Price Lamtto $140 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide When CarPlay was first released, I wasnt interested, partly because of its limited availability. It was only found in newer cars from more exotic brands. That has changed; many new cars offer CarPlay connectivity, though there are some car companies that arent offering it. Ever since I tried out CarPlay in my second car, Ive come to view CarPlay more favorably. In fact, Id hardly want to be without it now. However, my 2008 Renault Kangoo was made before CarPlay became a thing in 2014. The car was retrofitted with a Bluetooth receiver that uses the unused interface of the CD changer (the car really is old!). Ive been able to listen to music from my iPhone through the cars impressive sound system. This is where the Lamtto RC37 Car Infotainment System comes into its own. Unlike other retrofit systems, it connects to the cars stereo via Aux, FM, or Bluetooth. My car doesnt have a 3.5-mm jack input, and FM transmitters only work locally at best, where you can still find a free frequency at the edges of the bands and theyre usually useless when on the move, requiring readjustment of the frequency for every transmission area. More than just a CarPlay screen The Lamtto comes with three further interesting features: a rear car camera (something my old car wouldnt even have dared to dream of), a high-resolution 11-inch screen, and pre-installed entertainment apps. You can stick the 11-inch display onto the dashboard or attach it to the windscreen using a suction cup. I opt for the suction cup, which makes the solution more flexible, as its removable, but it does obstruct the field of vision slightlysome may be able to quite literally, look past it. If I tilt the screen significantly lower or mount it on the shelf in front of the radio, Ill lose sight of it. Sticking the stand on the passenger side is a bad idea because of the airbag. Ill eventually find the right spot for it. Setup is absolutely straightforward: switch it on, connect it to the iPhone, launch CarPlay, and youre done. The Lamtto has a plug that fits into the cigarette lighter socket. This socket also features a USB-A port, which can be used to change and iPhone. When operating the touchscreen, I found that the suction-cup mounting is less than ideal. The screen always gives way too much when touched. A stand would be the better solution, but then you have to consider a proper mounting area that is accessible and doesnt block your windshield. Thats more of a problem with the car and not with the Lamtto kit. At least, thanks to the Bluetooth connection, you can adjust the volume from the steering wheel. And, of course, the connected iPhone responds to Siri. The system has TikTok, YouTune, and Netflix. Theyre off-limits while driving, even if its the front passenger using them. Drivers can use them when the car is parked, but this is only of interest to anyone who takes longer driving breaks and whose car battery has sufficient charge. The screen is a nice size, but it can be a bit of a nuisance in your field of vision. Macwelt Fiddly setup required for rear camera The Lamttos rear camera is a feature that take it to a whole new level. This isnt connected wirelessly, but via a cable to the Lamtto display. The manufacturer recommends mounting the camera on or above the license platea central position, close to the ground. Youll need to figure out how to thread the cameras cable through your car without it getting in the way of your windows or your doors. The camera switches on automatically when the car is put into reverse. For this to happen you need to attach an additional cable to the positive terminal of the reverse lights of your car. When this lights up, the display receives a signal and shows the cameras image. That setup is a bit too fiddly for me to do and Id rather leave it to a professional, wholl also help me position the display correctly in the car. Within a very short time of turning on the ignition, the Lamtto device is ready to go, has launched CarPlay, found the iPhone, and resumed the music from where I last left off. Exactly how it should be. Should you buy the Lamtto RC37? The Lamtto Car Entertainment System retrofits older vehicles with CarPlay and also offers a rear camera. The bright 11-inch display can also a disadvantage if you cant find the right spot to mount it. If you have an 11-inch iPad, you can experiment with it in your car to see if the display would fit and where it wouldnt get in the way. Fitting the device in the car and setting it up is completely straightforward once youve chosen the right spot. Installing the rear camera requires a steady hand, the sort that car mechanics have. The pre-installed entertainment apps such as YouTube, Netflix, TikTok and YouTube Music are of interest to those who take longer breaks (such as overnight) in a car park. Even in a traffic jam, and even if the screen is directed only at the front passenger or those in the back seats, watching videos in the car is strongly discouraged.

Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 Review: A Convertible Worth Considering?
The Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 combines AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 performance with a 360-degree hinge, touchscreen and stylus support. Its comfortable keyboard, solid build and dependable battery make it well suited to everyday work, while Tent mode adds some genuinely useful flexibility. However, the 14-inch FHD+ display is let down by limited brightness and colour coverage, and the Radeon 860M is not suited to demanding graphics work. At around Rs. 90,000, the Dell faces strong competition from OLED-equipped alternatives.

Apple Shares Photos Shot on iPhone Duo
Apple on Instagram today shared a curated gallery of six photos shot on the iPhone Duo . The photos were shot by American photographers Jake Michaels and Jason Nocito , as part of a project commissioned by Apple. iPhone Duo is equipped with four cameras: A rear 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera A rear 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera A front 12-megapixel Center Stage camera in the outer display A front camera under the inner display iPhone Duo lacks a dedicated Telephoto camera, which is a dealbreaker for some customers. The main camera does have optical-quality 2 Telephoto capabilities, but this pales in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models, which can achieve up to 8 optical zoom. Still, the photos shared by Apple prove that the iPhone Duo is still very capable for photography, at least in the hands of skilled photographers. You can pre-order the iPhone Duo starting Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

This $100 iPad is the best way to beat the RAM pricing surge

If you want to get one for your kids, then spending a ton of money is definitely not on your to-do list since its likely to get dropped or damaged. Well, weve found a solution: This Apple iPad 8th Gen is only $110 at Woot but if you use code APPLETEN , itll take off another 10 percent, bringing it under $100. Its not new (Woot says its in Grade A Refurbished condition) and wont get the latest features, but its about a third of how much youd pay for a new iPad today. The 10.2-inch Retina display is sharp and bright enough for movies, e-books, and homework apps. Inside, the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine was a big upgrade for this model. When it came out, it made the 8th-gen iPad much faster than the version before it, and it still handles games, streaming, and everyday apps without much fuss. Back in 2020, we called it the best affordable tablet you can buy , and thats definitely the case right now. The tablet wont support iOS 27 or Apple Intelligence, but youre getting a perfect device you dont have to worry about when you hand it over. Think about it: Sooner or later, every parent hits the same moment on a long car ride or a rainy Saturday: the kids want your phone, and youd really like it back. A tablet of their own solves that, but handing a pricey new iPad to a seven-year-old is a gamble most of us would rather skip. Well, at $110, you wont wince every time your kid gently puts it on the table. Because its refurbished, youre also giving a perfectly good device a second life instead of buying new, and a landfill somewhere will thank you. Its guaranteed to be free of major dents and dings, plus it comes with a 90-day warranty in cases theres anything wrong with it. For under $100, this older iPad model is an easy pick if you want a kid-friendly first tablet or a simple spare iPad for the house without paying full price.

Leak reveals four colors for Apple
Macworld If the latest reports are correct, were less than two weeks away from Apple revealing its long-rumored home hub device. If youre excited about it and already making plans on how to incorporate it into your home, then youll appreciate the latest report that reveals the colors of the new device. According to a post by itspdfu (who has previously posted leaks that have panned out), Apple will offer four colors for the new device: Rose Pink, Silver, Space Gray, and Starlight. The information was gleaned from a feature itspdfu discovered called Photo Face, which displays four background colors that seemingly match the color of the device. Apples Home device may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink. The Photo Face setup screen picks its preview art based on the hardware color the device reports. The devices housing may also show in setup screens once device assets are available. https://t.co/8h4iF9OEsG pic.twitter.com/oRRTijUdkO pdfu (@itspdfu) October 1, 2026 Notably missing from the color choices is black, but Space Gray could come close enough, depending on the shade Apple uses. Starlight is a light bronze finish that has been offered on the MacBook Air, iPad, and AirPods Max. Apple has offered Rose Gold and Pink devices in the past, but Rose Pink is a new name. However, there were rumors that the iPhone 13 Pro Max was going to come in Rose Pink, but that color never shipped. The Home hub is expected to have a 6-inch display and come in two forms: a design reminiscent of the iMac G4, and another that is mounted to a wall. Its not clear if Apple will reveal the new smart home products at an event, but rumors point to October 13 as a possible launch date.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models come in four distinct color options, so which should you choose? The iPhone 18 Pro models come in Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. The aluminum and glass backs are more closely matched than on the iPhone 17 Pro, although the different materials remain somewhat visible. You should also consider if you plan to use a case with your device and, if so, which one. The iPhone 18 Pro's large, full-width camera plateau stands out on most cases, exposing more of the device's color. Choosing a complimentary color should be your first priority. Burgundy Burgundy is the most distinct and expressive iPhone 18 Pro finish, and it is much darker than the iPhone 17 Pro's equivalent Cosmic Orange. It looks closer to wine or plum than a vivid red. Burgundy is the standout shade in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, designed to be bold and attention-grabbing. It is the most noticeable iPhone 18 Pro color, and the most likely to indicate that you have the latest generation devicethere has never been an iPhone color option like it before. Apple offers Burgundy Silicone and TechWoven cases if you want the phone and case to look closely coordinated. With a contrasting case, the large, exposed plateau becomes a prominent patch of red-purple. That is worth considering if you like to change between bright case colors: Burgundy will remain part of every combination. A clear case shows more of the finish, although Apple's white MagSafe ring covers part of the back. Burgundy is the clearest way to distinguish this generation by color, but anyone hoping for a bright red iPhone may be disappointed. Choose Burgundy if you want a distinctive, dark color that remains noticeable even when the phone is in a case. Glacier Glacier is a cool, pale blue that gives the iPhone a much softer look than Burgundy. It is much lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue, yet it does not disappear into Silver; in-person , it still looks distinctly blue. Glacier is a useful middle ground if you want gentle color with some saturation, without making it the strongest feature of the phone. The exposed camera plateau gives an opaque case a light blue accent, while a clear case reveals most of the finish. Apple's clear case has a large white MagSafe ring, however, so it does not leave the back completely unobstructed. Apple sells blue cases in shades such as Crisp Blue and Chambray Blue, but neither is named Glacier. If you want the case and phone to match precisely, it may be best to compare them in person; otherwise, a clear or neutral case lets Glacier stand on its own. Choose Glacier if you want an iPhone with a fresh, subtle, and light appearance. Silver Silver is the most classic, versatile, and timeless option, but also the most practical. The finish gives off a clean and bright look that pairs well with virtually any case or wallpaper, and it reflects light more than the other three colors, making it quite neutral. Its aluminum has a metallic sheen that leans toward white in some lighting conditions. This year, the two rear materials are the same tone, making the new model look much more cohesive than the two-tone Silver iPhone 17 Pro. Silver is also the most adaptable color for cases. The exposed silver plateau provides a crisp, light accent against a dark case and sits more quietly beside a pale one. The color is likely to age well since it goes well with any case and embodies Apple's most traditional colors. It is also the only finish of the three that pairs well with Apple's own clear case. The clear case's white MagSafe ring is less of a visual interruption here than it is against Black or Burgundy. If you frequently change cases, Silver is unlikely to compete with your next choice. Unlike Burgundy or Black, Silver minimizes the appearance of damage. When the anodized layer chips or scratches, the raw aluminum underneath is very close in tone, so imperfections blend in far better. For users who prioritize long-term durability of appearance, Silver is the most forgiving finish. It may not be as dramatic as Burgundy or as sleek as Black, but it is the safest choice for maintaining a like-new look over years of use. Choose Silver if you want a classic, flexible look that mitigates the signs of damage. Black Black returns after the iPhone 17 Pro offered Deep Blue as its darkest option. It offers a dark, neutral look without Deep Blue's blue cast. A black case makes the exposed camera plateau blend into the rest of the phone. A light or colorful case has the opposite effect, framing a broad dark section across the top. Apple's clear case also makes its white MagSafe ring particularly noticeable against Black, so it is less suited to an uninterrupted all-black look. If a deep chip or scratch exposes bare aluminum, its lighter color would stand out against this finish, especially on the plateau that Apple's cases leave uncovered. Anyone using the device without a case should be prepared for more noticeable damage. If visible marks would bother you and you plan to go without a case, Silver may be a better fit. Choose Black if you want a dark, stealthy, and professional look, but be willing to accept signs of wear and tear.

Samsung Launches Galaxy Buds On: Open-Ear Clip Earbuds With Gemini Live
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds On , marking the global technology brands first entry into the open-ear clip-on wireless earbuds market. Engineered to prioritize long-term wearing comfort and situational awareness during outdoor athletic activities, the earbuds utilize an open acoustic architecture that leaves the ear canal completely unobstructed for extended daily listening sessions without causing physical ear fatigue. To ensure structural stability across diverse ear anatomies, Samsung conducted extensive anatomical simulations and demographic data analysis to balance internal speaker and battery component mass. The ergonomic clip-on chassis distributes clamping pressure evenly, providing a reliable, secure grip during rigorous workouts and high-movement sports. Internally, the hardware is powered by Qualcomms Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform , delivering highly efficient digital audio processing and up to 9.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single battery charge. Acoustic performance directly addresses traditional open-ear challenges through custom TwinBoost speakers , which reinforce low-frequency bass output often compromised in non-occluding designs. An integrated automatic volume control dynamically recalibrates gain levels according to changing ambient environmental noise conditions. To maintain personal privacy in quiet settings such as offices or libraries, dedicated Audio Leakage Reduction technology minimizes external sound dispersion. For telecommunications, the earbuds integrate a triple-microphone array , a bone-conduction Voice Pickup Sensor , and Intelligent Clear Call algorithms to isolate human speech from disruptive environmental background noise. Smart software features form a central pillar of the overall device experience. The earbuds support native Gemini Live integration, enabling natural, real-time conversational assistance via hands-free voice triggers. Users can record instant voice memos through a long-press capacitive gesture, with Samsungs Bixby indexing these recordings for future voice-based search retrieval. Additionally, built-in intuitive head gesture controls allow users to accept or decline incoming phone calls, dismiss morning alarms, and review smartphone notifications using natural head movements without manual touch input. In terms of new releases by the South Korean giant, also check out the Galaxy Tab S12 Series . Availability and Price The Galaxy Buds On will launch first in South Korea on October 27, 2026 , priced at KRW 299,000 (roughly $220 ). Samsung plans to expand broad commercial retail availability to other international markets in subsequent scheduled rollout phases worldwide.

What will Paris firm change at Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram? 23 museums and a Parisian vision
Highlights: Paris-based Museum Studio is designing 23 museums at Sabarmati Ashram. The redevelopment project spans nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. Research on Gandhi's 19171930 years at the ashram began in January. The proposed displays include digital exhibits, murals, sculptures and audiovisual content. The project aims to introduce Gandhi's principles to a new generation. For decades, Sabarmati Ashram has stood as a reminder of Mahatma Gandhis simple lifestyle and his role in Indias freedom struggle. Its modest surroundings, spinning wheel, and association with the Dandi March have made it a landmark of Indias history. Now, the historic site is preparing for a significant transformation, with plans for 23 museums that could change how visitors experience Gandhis life and legacy. A Paris-based firm, Museum Studio, is designing the museums in collaboration with Ecofirst, a Tata group subsidiary. The project is part of a redevelopment initiative that seeks to expand the ashram into a major visitor destination while preserving its historical significance. The design of the museums is being done by Museum Studio of Paris, and they have a consortium partner, a subsidiary of Tata Engineering Services called Ecofirst. They are the curators, said an official closely associated with the project, as reported by PTI on Thursday (1). From a quiet retreat to a 50-acre redevelopment iStock Established by Gandhi in 1917, Sabarmati Ashram served as his home during a defining period of the independence movement. It was here that he lived simply, experimented with community life and prepared for the historic Dandi March. The Gujarat government launched the redevelopment project in 2021, envisioning a transformed ashram spread across nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. The Mahatma Gandhi Sabarmati Ashram Memorial Trust oversees the project. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel heads its governing council, while retired IAS officer I.P. Gautam leads its executive council. The redevelopment is being carried out with the vision and inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the official. Four months of research to tell Gandhis story Before the design work began, a Tata research team spent four months studying Gandhis life at the ashram between 1917 and 1930. The findings were presented to a content advisory committee at a meeting on April 21. The committee brings together museum professionals, historians and experts in Gandhian literature. Its members include Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, philanthropist Rajshree Birla, National Commission for Scheduled Castes Chairman Kishor Makwana, Gujarat Vidyapith Vice Chancellor Dr. Harshad Patel, museum professionals Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Rajarama Yagnik, Indian Institute of Heritage Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dr. Manvi Seth, and historian Rizwan Qadri. After further discussions in July and August, the content plan was finalized and sent to Paris for design. From South Africa to the banks of the Sabarmati The museums will focus on Gandhis years in India, particularly the period when he brought ideas and experiments from South Africa to Sabarmati. We are trying to emphasise Mahatma Gandhi's stay from 1915 to 1930, those 15 years, because Mahatma ji extended his learnings from Tolstoy Farm in South Africa here. He repeated that experiment and turned lakhs of people into Gandhians, the official said. The planned exhibitions are expected to explore this formative chapter of Gandhis life and the community he built around his principles. Getty Images Will technology reshape the visitor experience? The proposed museums could bring together a range of formats, from traditional displays to digital storytelling. Plans include audiovisual presentations, digital exhibits, murals, and sculptures. But the designs are still subject to review. Experts from the National Institute of Design will examine the proposals to ensure they reflect the historical and cultural context of Gandhis life. Once the designs receive approval, Ecofirst will handle the curation, with the Indian Institute of Heritage supervising the process to ensure that the exhibitions remain consistent with the approved design. The challenge lies in balancing innovation with the spirit of a place known for its simplicity. How the new museums will integrate with the existing ashram remains an important part of the projects unfolding story. Preserving values for a new generation For all the planned changes, the projects stated ambition goes beyond architecture and technology. Its central purpose is to introduce Gandhis ideas to younger visitors and make them relevant to contemporary audiences. It is a collective effort involving experts in literature, museums, design, and communication. Ultimately, we want to convey Gandhiji's principles, truth, non-violence, non-possession, and non-cooperation to the new generation, the official said. As the designs take shape in Paris, Sabarmati Ashram stands at the threshold of a new chapter. The question is not only what the 23 museums will look like, but also how they will preserve the experience of a place whose historical significance has long rested on its simplicity.

MacBook Pro With OLED Touch Screen Rumored to Launch in October or November
On his first-ever Power On podcast today, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said that he believes Apple will introduce its long-rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays in October or November this year. Apple, I believe, will introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro this fall, as early as October, he said. It could slip to November, but as early as October. Apple is testing the laptops with macOS 27.2, which is currently in beta, he added. The software update is expected to be released towards the end of October, so the touch-screen MacBook Pro models might be announced later this month. Other rumored features beyond an OLED touch screen include Apple's existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a thinner design, and a Dynamic Island instead of a notch. A few years ago, Gurman reported that Apple was looking into the idea of cellular Macs that would be able to connect to a 5G or LTE network without relying on an iPhone's hotspot. For this reason, some Apple fans are hopeful that the touch-screen MacBook Pro models will be equipped with the company's custom-designed C1X or C2 modem. The touch-screen models are expected to be positioned above the regular 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which will reportedly jump to the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips next year. It is unclear if the touch-screen models will still have MacBook Pro branding, or if Apple will opt for something unique like MacBook Ultra.
