Daily Tech News & Insights, Every Weekday.

Good morning, tech folks! ☀️ I hope you all had a good weekend.

Today, we've got Huawei reinventing earbuds with their unique hook design, Apple modernizing their budget iPhone, and Oppo planning massive camera upgrades.

Meanwhile, Nvidia's facing severe shortages, and US-China tensions are affecting tech.

Here's what you'll find in today's tech roundup:

Huawei held its first product launch of 2025 in Japan yesterday, unveiling a range of new devices, including the Watch D2 and FreeBuds Pro 4.

But the most interesting reveal was the Huawei FreeArc, a unique take on wireless earbuds. Unlike traditional in-ear buds, the FreeArc features an open-ear, hook-style design that wraps around your ear for a secure yet comfortable fit. It’s a fresh approach to audio, blending durability, stability, and an open listening experience.

Read on to find out more.

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone SE 4 as soon as this week with a couple of major changes in design and functionalities.

One of them is expected to be the addition of Face ID and the removal of the home button, which will make it look a lot like the iPhone 14 from the front. Recently, case maker Spigen revealed the renders of the phone with its case, which reaffirms the previous design rumors.

Oppo is currently gearing up to launch the Find N5 foldable, but once that’s out of the way, the focus is expected to shift to the Find X8 Ultra, which is rumored to arrive in March.

However, details about its successor are already starting to surface online. A recent post from reliable Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has spilled the first camera details for the Find X9 Ultra.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has become one of the hardest-to-find graphics cards, with a global shortage affecting availability. Many customers are facing long waiting times, with some delays stretching up to 16 weeks.

Overclockers UK (OCUK) confirmed that all RTX 50 series graphics cards sold out within hours of release. Due to overwhelming demand, the retailer has temporarily halted pre-orders.

The United States has imposed new trade tariffs on Chinese goods. These tariffs increase costs for businesses and consumers in the US. Higher prices could lead to reduced sales in the US market.

In response, China has announced possible retaliatory measures escalating the ongoing trade war between the US and China.
