Google has been using AI in its shopping tools for a bit now, letting people use generative AI to try on clothes and see if the garments look good on them, or look for things using Google Lens. Today, Google is implementing even more AI functionality in its Shopping service, allowing Gemini to show the most relevant products. Instead of only showing an assortment of products, Google Shopping now includes an AI-generated brief that recommends other products associated with what you searched for. For example, shoppers looking for notebooks may get a brief mentioning stationery like pens and erasers. The products shown are also sourced from sources like articles and guides from across the web. You can also read these articles yourself by clicking on them. Google If those briefs arent enough for you, searches can be refined using filters. The filters include criteria like clothing size and products at shops near you. These filters also work with virtual try-ons, as mentioned above, and augmented reality (AR) shopping. AR shopping works if a product has an associated 3D asset, but it can help shoppers see the products as if they were in a store. Google Shopping is also getting a Deals page that shows lower prices, if any are available. The page will also be personalized based on your previous searches. When youre tired of shopping or need to run errands, you can leave Google Shopping and return, picking up where you left off. Personalized searches like these can be disabled if you dont want Google tracking your searches closely. These Google Shopping changes are available today in the US. However, not everyone will see them immediately, because Google is rolling them out over the next few weeks.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/google-shopping-gets-even-more-ai-powered-features-140031743.html?src=rss

Meet Apples seventh-generation iPad mini. Arriving over three years after its predecessor, the new tablet adds a faster A17 Pro chip originally found in the iPhone 15 Pro series with support for Apple Intelligence, more entry-level storage and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. The iPad mini 7 has the same 8.3-inch screen size as the previous model and an identical 2266 x 1488 resolution at 326 ppi. Unfortunately, the refresh rate remains a modest 60Hz; from what we can tell, the display is identical to the one in its predecessor. Its dimensions remain unchanged as well. The front-facing camera is still in the portrait position, something that makes sense for a device of this size, and both the front- and back-facing cameras appear unchanged from the previous iPad mini. Without any significant design upgrades, this update is more about whats inside. The A17 Pro chip lets the new tablet use Apple Intelligence features like smarter Siri, Writing Tools, Image Playground and Genmoji. It also has more RAM and 128GB of storage in the base-level model, double that of the 2021 model. There's also a 512GB storage option for the first time. The new iPad mini arrives on October 23 and starts at $499 for 128GB storage. Update, October 15 2024, 9:40AM ET: This post originally said that the new iPad mini used the A18 chip; it has been updated to note that it uses the A17 Pro chip. We apologize for the error.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/the-ipad-mini-7-goes-big-on-apple-intelligence-130848482.html?src=rss

JLab blew me away in early 2020 when the company debuted its $29 Go Air earbuds. For the first time, I realized that I had to pay closer attention to budget earbuds because some companies manage to build impressive products for less than $50. Do they offer flagship level performance and features? No. Do they cover the basics and sound good enough for casual use? Absolutely. The company has announced several products since, including the $60 JBuds ANC (third-gen) earlier this year. It appears that JLab wasn't content with that model being its most affordable noise-canceling option. Today, the company revealed the Go Pop ANC ($30), a set of earbuds that still offer some noise-blocking abilities for half the price of the JBuds ANC. This new model is the company's most affordable noise-canceling set ever, and JLab even says it's lowest-priced set of active noise cancellation (ANC) earbuds you can buy right now at full price. JLab says you can expect over six hours of listening time on the earbuds (ANC on), maxing out at over 24 hours when you factor in the case (ANC off). Like previous JLab models, the Go Pop ANC case has an integrated USB-C cable, so there's always have a way to plug in. Additionally, a fast charge feature gives you an hour of use in 10 minutes. The IP55 rated earbuds are sweat and splash proof, offering more robust ingress protection than some flagship models that cost a 10 times as much. Bluetooth multipoint connectivity is here, as is the ability to customize the audio and more via the JLab app. Specifically, that piece of software will allow you to adjust the EQ and reconfigure the onboard controls, plus there's a safe hearing tool and dedicated modes for music and movies. To accompany the Go Pop ANC's noise-cancelling functionality, there's a Be Aware transparency mode when you need it. 10mm dynamic drivers handle the sound and the two ANC MEMS microphones enable "clear" calls. The Go Pop ANC is also Google Fast Pair compatible as well, and it's available in fuchsia and teal color options in addition to the black that's pictured. The Go Pop ANC is available now for $30.
