• Hyundai will showcase a small electric SUV called Concept Three at the Munich Motor Show in Germany next week.
• It will be Hyundai’s version of the Kia EV3 and feature the automaker’s latest software platform.
• The concept is expected to spawn into the Ioniq 3, and it will reportedly feature Apple CarPlay Ultra.

At Europe’s biggest auto show, IAA Munich, next week, automakers will face pressing questions about the looming slowdown of electric vehicles in the U.S., one of their largest and most lucrative markets: How to make EVs affordable and how to drive organic demand as tax credits disappear? Hyundai is readying a hatchback-shaped answer to those questions, with a radical design and Apple CarPlay Ultra functionality.

The Korean auto giant on Tuesday teased what it calls the Concept Three, which would be “Ioniq’s first compact EV concept.”

It’s safe to assume that an Ioniq 3 small SUV is in the pipeline as a sibling to the Kia EV3 that is already on sale in South Korea and Europe. However, unlike the EV3, the Ioniq 3 will have a more radical design.

The sketch gives hot-hatch vibes, with a sharp front splitter and bulging rear wheel arches that blend into what Hyundai is calling an “aero hatch.” Think of a highly aerodynamic rear with an integrated ducktail spoiler that also functions as a downforce multiplier. But the design may not be its biggest strength. The Ioniq 3 is poised to be one of Hyundai’s next-generation software-defined EVs.

Top Gear reported earlier that the Ioniq 3 will feature the company’s latest and greatest tech from Pleos, Hyundai’s new software division. The model will debut the automaker’s next-generation operating system and connected-car features, bringing future Hyundai EVs closer to the likes of Tesla and Rivian.

Instead of relying on multiple domain controllers, Hyundai will shift to a zonal architecture that uses fewer but more powerful onboard computers. That would radically simplify the vehicle’s electrical systems, boost data transfer speeds, make over-the-air updates more common, and make repair diagnosis easier, at least in theory.

The outlet also reported that Hyundai may offer Apple CarPlay Ultra on the Ioniq 3. Unlike standard CarPlay, CarPlay Ultra extends beyond the infotainment screen to take over the gauge cluster, effectively bringing the full iOS experience to every display in the car. That means even critical information such as battery range, tire pressure, speed and odometer readings would appear through iOS.

Both automakers and drivers will have access to high degrees of customization, similar to your iPhone or Apple Watch. So expect to choose from different wallpapers and color backgrounds or unique themes for the infotainment and the instrument cluster. CarPlay Ultra debuted earlier this year on Aston Martin’s model year 2025 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. If Hyundai adopts it, the Ioniq 3 could be the first affordable EV to feature the technology.

The compact electric SUV’s powertrain and battery details remain undisclosed, but the Kia EV3 offers good hints of what those would look like. The EV3 gets two battery options: 58.3 kilowatt-hours and 81.4 kWh. The former is good for 270 miles of range, while the bigger battery is rated for 375 miles on the optimistic WLTP cycle. For the U.S. market, Kia previously said it was targeting around 300 miles of range.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the most popular electric crossovers in the U.S., though much of its success has been fueled by aggressive offers made possible by the soon-to-expire federal tax credit. Now looking ahead, models like the Ioniq 3 may be exactly what Hyundai—and the broader EV market—might need to remain competitive in Trump’s America.

This is a fast-paced, covert revenge shooter from the folks at Strange Scaffold (, and El Paso, Elsewhere). It’s dropping on the Ultimate, PC and Standard versions of Game Pass today.

On September 3, Nine Sols will join the Game Pass Standard lineup after being on the Ultimate and PC versions of the service since last November. This is a Metroidvania from Devotion developer Red Candle Games, and it was .

Inevitably, a few games are cycling off of Game Pass too. All You Need is Help, Wargroove 2 and We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie are all leaving the library on September 15.

• Jabra expands its premium collaboration portfolio with the second-generation PanaCast 50 Room System, developed in collaboration with Lenovo.
• The AI-optimized solution offers greater flexibility, more options and an enhanced setup experience for smarter and more efficient meeting rooms.

LOWELL, Mass., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jabra and Lenovo are expanding their collaboration to offer a second-generation video conferencing meeting room solution – the Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System 2, optimized for heavy AI workload and offering greater flexibility and a simplified user experience.

The new solution retains Jabra’s powerful 180° panoramic 4K plug-and-play video solution, the Jabra PanaCast 50, while introducing the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 – an AI-optimized compute device built for demanding meeting room workloads. It also features two new touchscreen controller options, a USB and IP version, providing flexibility for various room setups and ensuring easy installation. The PanaCast 50 Room System 2 is designed to elevate Microsoft Teams Rooms setups, so teams can connect, share and collaborate seamlessly and with enhanced security features.

The Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System 2 meets a growing need for simple, reliable technology that supports better hybrid meetings. Research shows that remote participants feel more included, more focused and less fatigued when high-quality audio and video are used in meeting rooms.ⁱ By collaborating with Lenovo, Jabra is offering a solution that delivers the clarity, flexibility and control needed to make meetings more inclusive and effective for everyone – whether they’re in the room or joining remotely.

By combining Jabra’s expertise in intelligent video and immersive audio with Lenovo’s next-gen processing, this collaboration delivers a flexible, powerful and future-ready meeting room system that helps make hybrid collaboration more seamless and engaging for everyone.

Future-proof video conferencing solution

The PanaCast 50 Room System 2 delivers targeted improvements to address the evolving demands of hybrid work and the increasing use of AI-enhanced collaboration tools. As workplaces adopt more AI-driven features to improve productivity and communication, the system’s infrastructure must keep pace. While the PanaCast 50 video bar remains unchanged delivering AI-powered 4K video and crystal-clear audio, the new bundle introduces a more powerful Lenovo compute device optimized for AI-heavy workloads and two Lenovo controller options to provide greater flexibility and adaptability.

The Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 is purpose-built to handle the increasingly heavy AI workloads with faster AI processing. The compute device is powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 processors, improving video, audio and AI performance, while reducing power consumption by up to 40% for increased energy efficiency.ⁱⁱ

Giving a more flexible and seamless experience, the compute device also now features USB-C^® integration, so users easily can share their screen, charge their laptop or run a meeting in BYOD (bring your own device) mode, which enables access to the PanaCast 50 video bar from any platform.

It also comes with several hardware improvements. It features a more functional cable cover that users can slide open, ideal for behind-the-display installations where there isn’t enough space to open a lid. Additionally, it includes a detachable cable management tray, which is beneficial for placing compute devices in areas with very limited space. Lastly, it comes with a power adapter cage for easy cable management when mounting.

To meet different room configurations and budget needs, the system now offers two new touch controller options. A simple plug-and-play USB touch controller for straightforward deployments, the Lenovo Thinksmart USB controller, and a flexible network-based IP touch controller, the Lenovo IP controller, for high-performance environments giving flexibility in installation as this touch controller can be placed up to 100 meters from the compute device.

Holger Reisinger, SVP Enterprise Video Business Unit at Jabra said: “As hybrid work continues to evolve, so do the demands for how teams connect and collaborate, especially with the increasing use of AI-enhanced tools. We’re proud to collaborate with Lenovo on the second generation of the Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System to deliver an AI-optimized, future-ready solution. Together, we’re equipping meeting spaces with more compute power, greater flexibility and more options to support seamless and inclusive collaboration in any environment.”

Marcus Kennedy, General Manager, Commercial Solutions at Lenovo said: “Hybrid collaboration is evolving fast, and meeting spaces need solutions that are ready for what’s next with AI-enabled applications and features. Together with Jabra, Lenovo has created a system that brings advanced compute power and greater flexibility together with industry leading Video experience – helping teams connect more easily and work more effectively from anywhere.”

Amazon is axing the program that lets Prime members share their free shipping perk with people outside their household. In an update to its support page, Amazon says it will cut off Prime benefit sharing on October 1st, 2025, prompting invitees who don’t live with the account holder to sign up for their own subscription at a discounted $14.99 rate for an entire year (and then $14.99 per month after that).

Instead, Amazon is replacing this program with Amazon Family, which lets account holders share Prime benefits — but only with people they live with. Amazon says everyone in a “Family” must live at the same primary residential address, defined as “the address you consider to be your home and where you spend the majority of your time.”

Launched in 2015, Amazon Family (formerly Amazon Household) offers access to free shipping, along with additional perks like Prime Video, Prime Reading, third-party benefits like GrubHub, shared ebooks, Amazon Music, and more. You can only add up to one other adult that you live with to your account, up to four teens (but only if you added them before April 7th, 2025), and up to four child profiles.

A journal has retracted a study on ‘Tin Man Syndrome’ plagiarized from a decade-old April Fools’ joke —  which the author now admits was fake.

On August 15, we wrote about a “rare case report” published in Medicine in which authors claimed they had encountered a case of “ectopia cordis interna” and described an asymptomatic man with his heart located in his abdomen. Sleuths believed the case report plagiarized images from a 2015 satirical paper describing a condition of the same name. 

A week later on August 22, Medicine, published by Wolters Kluwer, retracted the paper and five others — all published this year — with shared authors. None of the papers have been cited, according to Clarivate’s Web of Science. 

The retracted papers are:

The retraction notice for the ectopia cordis interna case states the authors were “unable to provide the necessary documentation, which casts doubt on the credibility of the presented case.” 

The other notices linked above read, in part:

Information brought to our attention during a recent investigation casts doubt on both the authorship and credibility of the presented case, and the Publisher has lost faith in the integrity of the content.

The corresponding author on all six studies is Ashraf Basalilah, a researcher at Hadhramaut Hospital in Yemen. Basalilah shared an August 21 email sent to him by journal editor Megan Larkin in which she notes concerns with the other five case studies, “while not enough on their own to justify retraction, taken with the allegations above, present a pattern of submission and authorship that raises serious questions.” She then lists several concerns about authors on the papers, such as lack of public records and contact information to confirm author affiliations, outdated affiliations and incomplete author profiles. 

“As a result of this investigation, we have concluded that we can no longer support the validity of the content submitted by the corresponding author,” Larkin continued.

Neither Larkin nor Maya Workowski, another editor and Wolters Kluwer, responded to our request for comment. Several emails to Medicine’s listed contact email went unanswered. 

Basalilah told us the paper was “a trap made by someone who wants to destroy my career intentionally” and that the person in question, who Basalilah says is not a medical professional, provided the researchers with “all the case details and documentations” regarding the ectopia cordis interna case. 

“I trusted that guy and his documentation done everything based on that, we all the authors were not involved in the patient’s care or management [sic],” Basalilah continued.

At the time of our first article, Basalilah provided redacted versions of what he said were the patient’s file, ethical approval paperwork, hospital and radiology department verification letter and patient consent form. He told us he couldn’t share photos of the patient’s body or face for consent reasons. 

After the paper was retracted, Basalilah told us: “I admit that Ectopia cordis is not real case based on our investigation and t was faked … to destroy authors’ reputation [sic].”

Basalilah stood by his other five case studies, calling them “real, credible and valid.” He said he disagreed with the retractions of those five, and said the journal “has not found any mistakes or justification for retracting them.

David Sanders, an image expert and biologist at Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind. who weighed in on the images in our previous story, told us from his experience, “when one finds egregious problems in one article it is probable that other articles from one or more of the authors also violate scientific norms.”

SAVE $100: Snag the Samsung Galaxy Ring at Amazon for $299.99, down from the normal price of of $399.99. That’s a 25% discount that matches the record-low.

Smart trackers are some of the best health tech we have these days. Sure, they’re not medically approved devices, but they can give us insight into everyday health and fitness unlike anything we’ve had before. Many people go with a smartwatch, but if you don’t love the feeling of something on your wrist all the time (especially while sleeping) a smart ring can be a perfect alternative. Thankfully, the Samsung model is on a big discount today at Amazon.

As of Sept. 2, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is on sale at Amazon for $299.99, marked down from the standard price of $399.99. That’s a 25% discount which saves you $100. It also matches the lowest price we’ve ever seen at Amazon.

Coming in silver, gold, or black, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is a powerhouse of a fitness tracker. Mashable’s review scale runs from 1 to 5, and anything over a 4.5 earns a prestigious Mashable Choice Award. The Samsung Galaxy Ring earned a stunning 4.9 out of 5 in East Coast Tech Editor Kimberly Gedeon’s review. “The Samsung Galaxy Ring is so good, it has made me consider the unthinkable: dropping my beloved Apple Watch Series 9 for the Korea-based tech giant’s new wearable,” she wrote in the review.

One of the huge benefits of the Samsung Galaxy Ring, especially compared to smartwatches, is its massive battery life. Samsung says that can last for up to seven days. In Gedeon’s testing, that landed at closer to six days, which is still massively impressive. Most people need to recharge an Apple Watch every day which can be a pain to find the best time to charge if you’re trying to track fitness, steps, and sleep. The Samsung Galaxy Watch frees up some of that inconvenience by lasting much longer. Of course, you forgo the Apple Watch’s display by opting for the Galaxy Ring, but some people prefer to not get text messages on their wrist.

The Galaxy Ring does everything you’d expect from a smart tracker like monitoring heart rate, tracking steps, exercise, and sleep. The stress monitoring is also highly accurate and useful. “The stress detector on the Galaxy Ring is the best feature on this wearable. Looking back at the Samsung Health chart that indicated when my stress was highest, it was always during work hours or moments when I couldn’t quite figure something out,” noted Gedeon. 

If you’re worried about ring sizing, go ahead and order the Samsung Galaxy Ring Sizing Kit for $10. This order gives you a $10 Amazon credit to use toward the purchase of the Galaxy Ring, essentially making the sizing kit free. Samsung also designed the Galaxy Ring with durability in mind, making it resistant to everyday wear and water. You’re safe to wear it while swimming, showering, or washing dishes.

While it’s on sale for $100 off, snag the Samsung Galaxy Ring for under $300 at Amazon. It’s great for those who aren’t so thrilled about wearing a watch but want the benefits of better health tracking.

Marshall’s family of TV audio gear is growing. The company has announced the Heston Sub 200 subwoofer and Heston 60 compact soundbar, both of which are now available for pre-order. The $700 Heston 60 is a smaller take on the first soundbar Marshall introduced earlier this year, the Heston 120, offering Dolby Atmos and DTS-X for more intimate spaces. With the Heston Sub 200, a $600 subwoofer that pairs with both soundbars, Marshall touts “a sound that can be truly felt.” Both products come in Cream and Black, and sport Marshall’s classic guitar amp styling. They ship September 23.

The Heston 60 has 7 Class D amplifiers — two 25W and five 5W — with a total power output of 56W. It has two woofers and five full range drivers. The soundbar offers wireless and wired connectivity, with Bluetooth (5.3) and Wi-Fi, as well as an HDMI 2.1 port (eARC), a 3.5mm aux port, an RCA input and USB-C. It also supports AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect.

The Heston Sub 200 packs two 5.25 inch subwoofers and two 120W Class D amplifiers, with a peak total power output of 236W. Marshall says it’ll deliver deep, room-shaking bass. The subwoofer has Bluetooth and wired input (RCA mono).

The Heston 60 and Heston Sub 200 will be available from Marshall starting September 23, and will roll out to select other retailers on September 30.
