Apple's new iPad mini starts at $699, but depending on where you live, getting one could cost considerably more. 👀

The 2026 model brings a major upgrade, but its price has also taken a pretty big leap. And with the iPad Air sitting close by in some markets, choosing the mini isn't as straightforward as it used to be.

So, where can you buy it, how much will it cost, and is it actually worth the upgrade?

Here's what buyers need to know 👇

Google's new $30 AirTag rival works with almost any Android phone. So why can't you buy it officially in Nigeria, Kenya or South Africa? 👀

The Pixel Tag launches today, bringing Google's own item tracker to Android users. And on paper, it's a pretty good fit for African markets, where Android dominates.

But Google is launching it in several countries and leaving some of its biggest potential markets out.

Here's all you need to know about the Pixel Tag 👇

Science fiction has finally claimed one of literature's biggest prizes. And it took an 81-year-old writer to make history. 👀

M. John Harrison has become the first writer from the science fiction world to win the Booker Prize, taking home the 2026 award for The End of Everything.

His win also makes him the oldest Booker winner ever, after a career spanning six decades.

But why is this such a significant moment for science fiction?

The iPhone Air's biggest selling point might also be what held it back. 👀

Apple's ultra-thin iPhone looked great, but its single rear camera and battery life left room for improvement. Now, early leaks suggest the iPhone Air 2 could finally address those complaints.

A second camera, a bigger battery and better cooling are reportedly on the way. But will that be enough to make the Air worth its $999 starting price?

Here's what we know about Apple's next slim iPhone 👇

Nvidia lost $350 billion in market value in a single day. But its AI chip suppliers were actually gaining. 👀

The selloff followed an investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Huang has admitted to an affair with a former executive linked to the allegations and says he will cooperate with the probe.

But investors aren't necessarily betting on an Nvidia leadership shake-up. They're weighing how much this scandal could disrupt the company's business and political standing.

Here's why Nvidia shares plunged while its suppliers moved in the opposite direction 👇

Qualcomm's car chip sales jumped 89%. Its stock still dropped 11% the next day. 👀

The company beat earnings expectations, but investors weren't convinced. Smartphone chip revenue fell 26%, rising memory and manufacturing costs are squeezing profits, and its next-quarter outlook came in below expectations.

Meanwhile, Qualcomm is betting on cars and AI data centres to drive its next phase of growth.

So why isn't the market buying it just yet?

AMD is making billions from the AI boom. But the same boom is making PCs more expensive. 👀

The chipmaker just reported its biggest quarter yet, with Data Centre revenue nearly doubling. Meanwhile, rising memory costs are weighing on PC demand, and AMD is preparing for a tougher market in 2027.

There's a bigger shift happening inside AMD, too. It expects one part of its business to contribute more than 80% of revenue next year.

Some owners may have been unknowingly sharing their home internet connections with cybercriminals.

It sounds like one of those financial hacks that's too good to be true. But there's a surprisingly simple idea behind the claim.

One Nigerian data analyst spent up to ₦2.1 million learning the skill. Another landed his first gig for just ₦5,000. 👀

Today, one charges up to ₦300,000 for freelance projects, while another has earned ₦500,000 from a single assignment. But does a career in data analysis actually pay enough to justify the cost, time and effort it takes to break in?

We spoke to three Nigerian data analysts about what they spent, what they earn and how long it took to see returns.
