Arsenal have made a major statement in the transfer market over the past couple of years as they have built one of the best squads in Europe. The Gunners moved to another level in the summer, spending around £250m to secure most of their major targets to arguably complete their squad. This leaves the north London side with quality options in every positions, and they are well-placed to end their trophy drought by lifting at least one piece of…
Renault could offer its next-generation electric cars with a new “super hybrid” powertrain that uses a small petrol engine to boost range. The firm is working on a new EV platform for its next mid-sized cars but, in response to lagging uptake for EVs in certain regions and prevailing range anxiety, is now also considering offering them with a range-extender system. The system in question was revealed at the Munich motor show last September by Horse Powertrain, a company co-owned by Renault and Chinese manufacturer Geely. Called the C15, the system comprises a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an integrated generator and inverter, said to…
Image: winfuture.de For years, Apple’s future leadership has been an open secret. This week, that conversation grew louder, with new reports pointing to a familiar but low-profile name inside Cupertino: John Ternus. Apple has intensified internal planning for the eventual departure of Tim Cook, according to recent reporting by The New York Times. The outlet reports that Apple began accelerating succession discussions last year, as Cook, now 65, told senior leaders he wanted to reduce his workload. If Cook steps aside, he is expected to move into the role of chairman of Apple’s board, according to people close to the company cited…
Image generated by Google Gemini US fintech firm Fiserv has teamed with Microsoft to embed AI more deeply across its development platforms and global workforce. The move underscores Fiserv’s broader push to integrate AI into its operations and products as competition intensifies across the fintech and payments landscape. When a company that processes 90 billion transactions annually with a gross payment volume of $3.1 trillion decides to do this, it might be worth paying attention. Since October, spending on AI across financial services has been projected to skyrocket from $35 billion in 2023 to $97 billion by 2027, and Fiserv…
Dolby may have announced Dolby Vision 2 a few months ago, but the company gave the new platform its first big reveal at CES 2026. I got the chance to see the improvements in person for the first time, thanks to a variety of demos and Q&A sessions. Dolby Vision 2 will be available this year, but initially, it will be limited. As such, I’ve compiled the info on where the image engine will be available first, and what’s likely to come next in terms of where and how you can use it.

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur standout Micky van de Ven ‘desperately wants to leave’ the north London side and he is still on Liverpool’s radar. Spurs have been a shambles in the Premier League over the past 18 months as they have spent most of this period in the bottom half of the table. Still, there have been a few standouts in their side who can hold their head high, and this includes Netherlands international Van de Ven. The 24-year-old has had his injury issues in recent years, but he is one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League…
DS will take inspiration from the first-generation DS 3 – its first stand-alone car from the mid-2010s – for the next iteration of the hatch, which will arrive in the next few years with a “sporty, hot” and “futuristic” design, DS design chief Thierry Métroz has told Autocar. The current DS 3 is the oldest model in the brand’s three-car line-up, which includes the recently refreshed (and renamed) No4 and the radical-looking No8 flagship. The next instalment of DS’s entry model will also follow that new naming strategy to become the No3. But it will be completely redesigned from today’s…

Kia has unveiled its new entry level electric vehicle, the EV2. The boxy model strongly resembles the company’s Soul (Kia did make an electric Soul at one point) and has very similar dimensions, though it’s slightly shorter in height and length. It’s not exactly a range monster and will charge a bit slower than the competition. The EV2 launched at the Brussels Motor Show and the company said it has no plans for US availability at this point.The EV2 uses Kia/Hyundai’s E-GMP platform and slots into the bottom of its EV lineup as an “entry point to electric mobility,” according…
