As of today, September 13, 2025, TikTok’s 170 million American users are being involuntarily shifted to M2, a U.S.-exclusive app launched by ByteDance on September 5 to comply with U.S. data security laws. This forced migration isolates U.S. users from the global TikTok community, likely curbing creators’ international reach & drawing sharp criticism for fracturing a platform once celebrated for its global connectivity.
During the brief January 2025 blackout, frustrated users flocked to Red Note, a Chinese app similar to TikTok, to protest, voicing distrust in the app’s future & government oversight, with some suspecting an attempt to conceal Israel’s actions in Palestine & Gaza as well as censor American voices critiquing them—concerns heightened by the recent appointment of Erica Mindel, a former IDF soldier, as TikTok’s Public Policy Manager for Hate Speech to oversee content moderation.
With ByteDance facing a September 17, 2025, deadline to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations to an American buyer, failure to do so could trigger a permanent blackout of American accounts in early 2026. Many users & creators now question whether M2 is a genuine solution or a superficial fix that risks eroding TikTok’s vibrant ecosystem under the weight of regulatory pressures.
In the months leading up to this forced migration, I made many attempts to reach out to TikTok support in order to change my Necrolicious account location from the US to Japan since the option to do so manually disappeared on this account. I created numerous support tickets. Each ticket received canned replies of “If we need anything else, we’ll contact you” & simply closed without any resolution, no matter how many follow-up messages I sent. I recently gave up & simply started a new account for the Japan region, which you can find here:
Additionally, I have been uploading copies of my videos to YouTube & actually have much better reach on that platform, with one recent video breaking out to nearly 110,000 views.
I also made a counterpart account for English uploads on both platforms, but have not yet utilised them. I am simply unsure if the demand for English content is insufficient to warrant doubling my video creation workload. Besides that, there are so many English content creators in Japan already. It seems like the market is saturated & I would rather connect with Japanese audiences. If you think I should start creating content in English, tell me in the comments below.

Appleは、AirPods Pro 3の心拍数トラッキング＆Apple Watch Series 11の血圧モニタリングを含む健康重視のアップデートを披露しました。AirPods Pro 3の心拍数センサーは、赤外線を使用して血流を測定し、フィットネスアプリと同期して50種類以上のワークアウトを追跡します。一方、Apple Watch Series 11は高血圧検出＆スリープスコア機能（FDA承認待ち）を導入しています。Apple Watch Ultra 3は衛星接続＆高速充電を追加し、価格は749ドルから始まります。しかし、サムスンはこれらの健康機能を長年提供しています。Galaxy Buds（Buds3 Proなど）は、2024年の発売以来、特にS24やZ Fold6などの互換デバイスとペアリングした場合、心拍数モニタリングを搭載しています。サムスンのGalaxy Watchシリーズ（2025年のGalaxy Watch7を含む）は、Galaxy Watch4（2021）以来、血圧モニタリング＆詳細なスリープスコアを含む睡眠追跡を提供しており、一部のモデルはAppleのFDA承認計画よりかなり前にこれらの機能でFDA承認を受けています。さらに、サムスンのウェアラブルはSamsung Healthアプリと統合されており、Appleのエコシステムロックされたアプローチとは異なり、非サムスンAndroidデバイスを含む幅広いエコシステム互換性を提供します。
アクティブノイズキャンセリング＆オーディオ品質
AppleはAirPods Pro 3のアクティブノイズキャンセリング（ANC）を強調し、AirPods Pro 2の2倍、初代AirPods Proの4倍のノイズ除去を主張しています。イヤホンはフィット感を向上させる更新されたデザイン＆強化された空間オーディオも備えています。しかし、サムスンのGalaxy Buds3 Proは、2024年の発売以来、警報やサイレンなどの環境音に適応する適応型ノイズキャンセリングを提供しています。Buds3 Proは、互換デバイスでBluetooth経由で最大24ビット/96kHzをサポートする2ウェイスピーカー＆平面磁気ツイーターを備え、Appleの空間オーディオ機能に匹敵するか、それを上回る機能を備えています。
Appleはイベントで折り畳み式iPhoneを発表しませんでしたが、iPhone Airの超薄型デザインは、2026年にサムスンのGalaxy Z Foldシリーズに似たブックスタイルの折り畳み式iPhoneの舞台を設定するとアナリストは示唆しています。サムスンは2019年のGalaxy Fold以来、折り畳み式スマートフォンで先駆者であり、2025年までに7世代の改良を重ねています。2025年半ばに発売されたGalaxy Z Fold7＆Z Flip7は、耐久性のあるヒンジ、7.8インチのインナーディスプレイ（Fold）、＆Galaxy AIを搭載した高度なマルチタスク機能を備えています。サムスンの折り畳み式デバイスは、Appleの噂される折り畳み式がようやく取り組もうとしている、より大きく、汎用性の高いディスプレイ＆生産性機能を提供してきました。
At Apple’s highly anticipated “Awe Dropping” event on 9 September 2025, the tech giant unveiled a slew of new products & features, including the iPhone 17 series (with the all-new iPhone Air), Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3, & AirPods Pro 3. Held at its Cupertino headquarters, the event generated significant buzz around hardware refinements & incremental AI updates. However, several showcased features have been available on Samsung devices for some time. From live translation in earbuds to AI-powered functionalities, Samsung has been setting the pace in these areas, whilst Apple’s recent innovations, including its much-touted Apple Intelligence, appear to be playing catch-up. This article explores the key features Apple promoted at its latest event & how Samsung has long offered similar capabilities in its Galaxy ecosystem.
Live Translation: AirPods Pro 3 vs Galaxy Buds
One of the standout features Apple highlighted for the AirPods Pro 3 was Live Translation, a capability that allows users to hear real-time translations of in-person conversations directly through their earbuds. Powered by Apple Intelligence & iOS 26, this feature enables users to communicate across select languages (such as English, French, German, Portuguese, & Spanish) by translating speech into the user’s preferred language in their earbuds, whilst the iPhone displays or speaks the translated response for the other party. Apple positioned this as a transformative tool for travel, work, & cross-lingual communication, available in beta with the AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, & AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
However, Samsung has offered a similar feature, called Live Translate, on its Galaxy Buds series since early 2024. Compatible with devices like the Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z Fold6, & Galaxy Z Flip6, Samsung’s Live Translate works through the Galaxy Wearable app & Galaxy AI suite, enabling real-time translation during phone calls & in-person conversations. Users can hear translations through their Galaxy Buds, Buds Pro, or Buds FE, with the phone displaying or speaking the translated text for the other party. Unlike Apple’s implementation, which requires specific AirPods models with the H2 chip, Samsung’s feature supports a broader range of its earbuds & works offline with pre-downloaded language packs, offering greater versatility for users in areas with limited connectivity.
Samsung’s Interpreter Mode, another Galaxy AI feature, further enhances this capability by providing split-screen translations for in-person conversations, making it a robust tool for multilingual interactions. Whilst Apple’s Live Translation is a welcome addition, it’s not a novel concept, as Samsung has been refining this technology for over a year, with support for 13 languages & counting.
Apple Intelligence vs Galaxy AI: A Delayed Promise
Apple’s event also emphasised Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI platform, which powers features like Live Translation, Workout Buddy for fitness motivation, & visual intelligence for tasks like calendar integration. However, Apple Intelligence was notably understated during the event, with CEO Tim Cook focusing more on hardware improvements than AI as a consumer-facing feature. Reports suggest Apple is still catching up in the AI race, with some of its promised features from WWDC 2025, such as advanced Siri upgrades, delayed or scaled back—pushing key capabilities like enhanced Siri to 2026.
In contrast, Samsung’s Galaxy AI, introduced with the Galaxy S24 series in late 2023, has been a cornerstone of its ecosystem for nearly two years. Galaxy AI powers a wide range of features, including Live Translate, Interpreter Mode, Chat Assist for message tone-checking, Transcript Assist for multilingual summaries, & Circle to Search for translating on-screen content. These tools are deeply integrated across Samsung’s flagship devices, including the Galaxy S25, Z Fold7, & Z Flip7, & are available both on-device & via the cloud, with offline functionality for many features. Samsung’s head start in AI development has allowed it to offer a more mature & versatile suite compared to Apple Intelligence, which is still in beta & limited to select devices & languages. Features like Magic Cue—proactively surfacing information across apps—& advanced photo search via Google Gemini integration feel futuristic, leaving Apple’s current offerings, like basic Genmoji, several steps behind.
iPhone Air vs Galaxy S25 Edge: The Thin Phone Race
Apple’s introduction of the iPhone Air, a 5.5mm-thick model billed as the thinnest iPhone ever, was a headline-grabbing moment at the event. Marketed as a sleek addition to the iPhone 17 lineup at $999, it aims to compete in the ultrathin smartphone market with a 6.5-inch display & Ceramic Shield 2 protection.
However, Samsung beat Apple to the punch with the Galaxy S25 Edge, launched in May 2025, which measures just 5.4mm thick—0.2mm slimmer than the iPhone Air. Samsung’s device also integrates bold AI features &, in some configurations, foldable screen technology, offering a unique form factor that Apple’s iPhone Air does not match. Whilst Apple’s design is undeniably elegant, Samsung’s earlier entry into the thin-phone market & its incorporation of foldable displays in devices like the Galaxy Z Fold7 & Z Flip7 demonstrate a more ambitious approach to hardware innovation. Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone, expected in 2026, suggests it’s still a year behind Samsung in this space.
Vapour Chamber Cooling: iPhone 17 Pro vs Galaxy Devices
The iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max introduced a vapour chamber cooling system to manage heat dissipation during high-performance tasks like gaming & video capture. This marks a shift from Apple’s traditional graphite-based cooling, aligning with high-end Android competitors. The vapour chamber, combined with an aluminium frame, enhances thermal performance, preventing throttling & supporting demanding workloads.
Samsung, however, has implemented vapour chamber cooling in its flagship devices since the Galaxy S20 series (2020). Models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Z Fold6, & S25 Edge use advanced vapour chambers to dissipate heat from high-performance chips, enabling sustained performance during gaming & multitasking. Samsung’s cooling systems have been optimised for foldable devices, which face unique thermal challenges due to their compact designs, giving Samsung a five-year head start over Apple’s adoption of this technology.
Camera Systems: 48MP Across the Board vs Samsung’s High-Resolution Sensors
The iPhone 17 series features a 48MP Fusion Main camera, a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera, & an 18MP Center Stage front camera across all models, with the Pro models adding a 48MP telephoto lens supporting 4x-8x optical zoom. These upgrades enable advanced computational photography & macro photography, powered by an updated image signal processor (ISP).
Samsung has offered high-resolution camera sensors for years, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra (2023) & S24 Ultra (2024) featuring a 200MP main camera using the ISOCELL HP2 sensor. This allows for greater detail & cropping flexibility compared to Apple’s 48MP sensors, which are only now catching up in resolution but lack the pixel density of Samsung’s offerings. The Galaxy S25 series continues this trend, with a 200MP main sensor & a 50MP ultra-wide lens, outpacing Apple’s ultra-wide camera in resolution. Additionally, Samsung’s periscope telephoto lenses, introduced in the Galaxy S20 Ultra (2020), have offered 5x-10x optical zoom, surpassing Apple’s 8x zoom cap until the iPhone 17 Pro’s recent upgrade.
Health & Fitness Features: Apple Watch & AirPods vs Galaxy Wearables
Apple showcased health-focused updates, including heart rate tracking on the AirPods Pro 3 & blood pressure monitoring on the Apple Watch Series 11. The AirPods Pro 3’s heart rate sensor, which uses infrared light to measure blood flow, syncs with the Fitness app to track over 50 workout types, whilst the Apple Watch Series 11 introduces hypertension detection & a sleep score feature (pending FDA clearance). The Apple Watch Ultra 3 adds satellite connectivity & faster charging, with pricing starting at $749.
Samsung, however, has offered similar health features for some time. Galaxy Buds, such as the Buds3 Pro, have included heart rate monitoring since their 2024 release, particularly when paired with compatible Galaxy devices like the S24 or Z Fold6. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch series, including the Galaxy Watch7 (2025), has provided blood pressure monitoring & sleep tracking, including detailed sleep scores, for years, with some models receiving FDA clearance for these features well before Apple’s announced plans for FDA approval. Additionally, Samsung’s wearables integrate with the Samsung Health app, which offers broader ecosystem compatibility, including with non-Samsung Android devices, unlike Apple’s ecosystem-locked approach.
Active Noise Cancellation & Audio Quality
Apple touted the AirPods Pro 3’s Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), claiming it removes up to twice the noise of the AirPods Pro 2 & four times that of the original AirPods Pro. The earbuds also feature an updated design for better fit & enhanced spatial audio. Samsung’s Galaxy Buds3 Pro, however, have offered comparable ANC since their 2024 launch, with adaptive noise cancellation that adjusts to environmental sounds like alarms or sirens. The Buds3 Pro also include two-way speakers & planar magnetic tweeters for high-quality audio, supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz over Bluetooth on compatible devices—features that rival or surpass Apple’s spatial audio capabilities.
Foldable Devices: Apple’s Tease vs Samsung’s Dominance
Whilst Apple didn’t unveil a foldable iPhone at the event, analysts suggest the iPhone Air’s ultrathin design sets the stage for a foldable iPhone in 2026, likely adopting a book-style design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.
Samsung has been a pioneer in foldable smartphones since the Galaxy Fold in 2019, with seven generations of refinement by 2025. The Galaxy Z Fold7 & Z Flip7, launched in mid-2025, feature durable hinges, 7.8-inch inner displays (Fold), & advanced multitasking capabilities powered by Galaxy AI. Samsung’s foldables have consistently offered larger, more versatile displays & productivity features that Apple’s rumoured foldable is only beginning to approach.
Whilst Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event showcased impressive hardware & promising AI-driven features, it’s clear that Samsung has been ahead in several key areas. Live Translate, a flagship feature for the AirPods Pro 3, has been a staple in Samsung’s Galaxy Buds since 2024, with broader language support & offline capabilities. Galaxy AI, now nearly two years old, offers a more mature & versatile suite of tools compared to the still-evolving Apple Intelligence. The iPhone Air, though sleek, follows in the footsteps of the Galaxy S25 Edge, & Samsung’s health & fitness features in its wearables have long matched or exceeded those introduced in Apple’s latest devices. Vapour chamber cooling, high-resolution 200MP cameras, & foldable devices have been staples of Samsung’s lineup since 2020 or earlier, whilst Apple is only now adopting these technologies.
Apple’s ecosystem integration & polish remain strong selling points, but Samsung’s earlier adoption of these technologies highlights its leadership in innovation. As Apple continues to roll out Apple Intelligence & refine its offerings, it will need to bring more unique features to the table to close the gap with Samsung’s established advancements. For now, Samsung’s Galaxy devices & wearables continue to set a high bar that Apple is striving to meet.

In a recent post on X, leaker Igor Bogdanov of Quadro News claims to have released exclusive photos of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4.
Purportedly, it sports 2 cameras. However, I am not convinced these images are real at all.
A closer look at his main post shows the kind of text rendering commonly found on AI generated images. Specifically, if you look at the word “OSMO” on the handle, you can tell that it is entirely inorganic as is the text found around the lens of the camera, which appears to be a random combination of the DJI logo as well as non existent letters & numbers in no particular sequence.
In the comments of his original post, he added an additional photo, which he claims was unedited.
Still, the question remains–was the photo he originally posted just an AI enhancement of his later image or was this story entirely fabricated?
Look closely at the images & comment your thoughts.

Samsung has announced the S25 Fan Edition alongside the Tab 11 at their latest event. While the Tab 11 is now available for purchase on Samsung Japan’s website, there is no indication of the S25 FE becoming available in the near term, which is par for the course for their FE line in the Japan market. I had actually hoped to get the S20 FE last year around this time; however, I was told it would take approximately 6 more months for it to become available in Japan. So, I eventually opted to get the Flip 6 instead. Meanwhile, amid these product launches, Samsung Japan is operating on Amazon, apparently with the driver dead at the wheel. None of the Watch 8 lineup is presently listed, with all prior links currently being dead. Additionally, ads are being served with dead links for both the Flip 7 & the Tab 10 lineup. They are likely losing tens of thousands to millions of dollars running these ads to these dead links. Yet, no one I have reported these issues to has made any perceivable progress in rectifying them, as they persist despite my reports to Amazon support, Samsung.com, the Samsung Members app, & Samsung’s CEO. Despite getting no recent replies from the CEO’s office—who is the only one who has told me anything but “it’s out of our hands”—I most recently asked them if there is perhaps a bug bounty department to whom I could report this, since being in the business of fixing things, they would seem the most pertinent party to contact & might even reward me for bringing these grave issues to their awareness. However, I have received no reply. Needless to say, the Amazon Samsung Galaxy Store is not listing any of the new products launched today as of the time of this writing. Being an industry giant, it is incomprehensible that Samsung would allow such mismanagement of their storefront. So, I hope they get this matter under control soon.

サムスンジャパンの最近の投稿では、「新製品」という言葉が使用され、星の光を放つ輝く六角形のボックスのクールな画像が添えられています。「品」という文字は具体的な商品を指すため、このイベントではAIソフトウェアの改良だけでなく、新たなハードウェアが披露される可能性が高いです。これは、2025年7月のUnpackedイベントで発表されたGoogleのGemini AIを搭載したGalaxy Z Fold7およびFlip7のアップグレードとも関連していますが、「新製品」という表現から、Galaxy S25 FEや地域限定モデルなどのデバイスが注目を集める可能性があります。アップルの秋の発売直前に開催されるこのイベントは、AIを活用した手頃な価格のハードウェアを発表する戦略的な動きと言えるでしょう。サムスンの公式チャンネルでライブ配信をお見逃しなく！新しいカメラ機能、マルチタスク性能の向上、その他のハードウェアの魅力が期待されます。
注目の大型イベント：2025年9月29日
ZDNetやGSMArenaの噂によると、9月29日に大規模なUnpackedイベントが開催され、トリフォールドフォン、XRヘッドセット、AIスマートグラスが発表される可能性があります。このラインナップは、アップルのVision Proや2024年9月に発表されたファーウェイのMate XTと競合するものです。デュアルヒンジデザインとSnapdragon XR2+ Gen 2チップを搭載したMicro OLEDパネルを備えたトリフォールドフォンやXRヘッドセットは、フォルダブルデバイスやミックスドリアリティを再定義する可能性があります。さらにAIスマートグラスが加わり、ウェアラブル技術の祭典となるでしょう！GSMArenaの情報では、トリフォールドは限定生産となり、Z Fold7を上回らないよう慎重に展開されるようです。グローバルなライブ配信が予定されており、最先端のガジェットに興奮を誘うデモが盛り込まれる予定です。
2つのイベントの戦略的理由
なぜ2つのイベントなのか？9月4日のイベントは、AIを強化した新たなハードウェア製品に焦点を当て、サムスンの「AI for All」のスローガンや2024年CESでのAI家電展示を反映するものと思われます。一方、9月29日のイベントは、フラッグシップハードウェアの発表に適した秋の技術シーズンに合わせて、最高峰のイノベーションを披露する予定です。この二段構えのアプローチにより、サムスンは異なるターゲット層—今はミッドレンジや地域向け製品、後に最高級のイノベーション—に対応し、競争をリードします。
Samsung has two major events lined up for September 2025! The first kicks off at 2:30 AM PDT on Thursday, 4th September (that’s 18:30 JST), just hours from now, following the official teaser from Samsung Japan on 27th August. A second event, rumoured for 29th September, promises even more innovation.
The Initial Unveiling: 4th September 2025
Samsung Japan’s recent post uses the term “新製品” (shin-seihin), meaning “new products,” paired with a cool image of a glowing hexagonal box releasing starry lights. The character “品” (hin), which specifically points to tangible goods, hints that this event will likely showcase new hardware rather than just AI software tweaks. This ties into recent upgrades like the Galaxy Z Fold7 & Flip7 with Google’s Gemini AI from the July 2025 Unpacked event, but the focus on “products” suggests devices like the Galaxy S25 FE or regional exclusives might steal the show. Timed just before Apple’s expected fall launch, it looks like Samsung’s making a smart move to drop accessible hardware with a side of AI goodness. Don’t miss the livestream on Samsung’s official channels! You might see new devices with enhanced cameras, better multitasking, or other hardware perks, setting the stage for what’s next.
The Anticipated Major Event: 29th September 2025
Rumours from ZDNet & GSMArena point to a big Unpacked event on 29th September, where Samsung could unveil a tri-fold phone, an XR headset, & AI smart glasses. This lineup puts Samsung in the ring with Apple’s Vision Pro & Huawei’s Mate XT from September 2024. The tri-fold, with its dual-hinge design & Micro OLED panels powered by a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, plus an XR headset, could redefine foldables & mixed reality. Add in AI glasses, & you’ve got a wearable tech feast! GSMArena’s scoop about a limited tri-fold run suggests Samsung’s playing it safe to not overshadow the Z Fold7. A global livestream is on the cards, packed with demos to get you excited about these cutting-edge gadgets.
Strategic Rationale for Dual Events
Why two events? The 4th September launch seems to spotlight new hardware products, possibly with AI boosts, echoing Samsung’s “AI for All” tagline & its CES 2024 AI appliance showcase. The 29th September event, though, looks set for flagship hardware reveals, fitting the classic fall tech season. This dual approach lets Samsung cater to different crowds—mid-range or regional gear now, top-tier innovation later—keeping the competition on its toes.
Expected Product Launches
Here’s a handy table to sum up what might drop at each event, factoring in the “新製品” clue that leans towards hardware over just AI updates:
