    Samsung is considering a Galaxy Watch subscription fee.

    That’s according to CNET, which interviewed Hon Pak, Samsung’s head of digital health, about new features coming to One UI 8 Watch, including an AI running coach and a non-invasive antioxidant level check that might be impressive if it actually does what it claims.

    Apparently Pak said Samsung is “exploring” a premium subscription, perhaps bringing new features for free to the latest Samsung smartwatches, like the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8, but charging for older hardware.

    What do Alabama, California, and Florida have in common?

    They’re where a spokesperson says the new Trump Mobile T1 Phone will be manufactured, according to The Wall Street Journal:

    “Manufacturing for the new phone will be in Alabama, California and Florida.”

    We still think that pledge to make a $499 phone in the US in a couple of months sounds impossible, and note the “will be” up above: Eric Trump has admitted that “eventually” the phones can be built in the USA, which raises some obvious questions about what’s happening right now.

    Peloton gets an AI exec.

    The company’s first chief technology officer (CTO), Francis Shanahan, has a remit “to focus on artificial intelligence efforts,” announced alongside a new head of marketing. New-ish CEO Peter Stern has already said AI “has the potential to give humans superpowers,” which in Peloton’s case so far means personalized workout plans and AI-powered subtitles for classes.

    If you can’t bring the AI chips to you...

    Then bring suitcases full of hard drives to the AI chips. That’s what some Chinese engineers have reportedly taken to amid efforts to skirt the US ban on selling training chips to China, manually moving terabytes of data to Malaysia to build an AI model there.

    The Nothing Phone 3 is coming to the US, and not in beta.

    Founder Carl Pei had already teased as much, but now it’s official: when the phone launches next month it’ll go on sale at Amazon and Nothing’s own store. It won’t be available direct from carriers, but will support AT&T and T-Mobile, 4G and 5G. The same was true of 2023’s Phone 2, and that was mostly fine on Verizon too.

    Oh, and don’t worry — Nothing’s first over-ear headphones are getting a North American release too.
