At its annual Fall Hardware event, Amazon announced the new Echo Hub. This is a $179 8-inch display that mounts onto your wall, and allows you to control every smart home product, right from that display. It reminds me a lot of the Echo Show 15, but in a smaller form-factor.
The Echo Hub is obviously powered by Alexa. And it’s going to give you a nice smart home control panel that you can use to control your lights, thermostat and even see who’s at the door. Routines will also work on the Echo Hub here, which can really extend its functionality.
Echo Hub has Adaptive Content, so it is using infrared technology which is able to detect when someone is nearby and will naturally transition from a home screen with a beautiful clock to the smart home control screen.
As you might expect, the Echo Hub works with Zigbee, Sidewalk, Thread, Bluetooth and of course Matter. Everything that Amazon announced today comes with Matter support, which is a really big deal. As we’re seeing more and more products getting updated with Matter.
This seems to be a really good all-in-one product from Amazon, and something that is meant to be mounted by your front door, so you can easily turn off the lights, and do different things as you leave the house.
When can I buy the Echo Hub?
Amazon says that the new Echo Hub will be available later this year. Currently, customers are able to sign up to be notified when pre-orders start. As mentioned already, it’s going to cost $179. Which is honestly only about $30 more than the new Echo Show 8. Which was also announced today (and the same size).
There will be decorative frame accessories to really make the Echo Hub your own, and those will start from $19.99. These will be available in wood, metallic and paintable white. There is also a counter stand accessory that will be available for $269.99.
Ring was featured at Amazon’s Fall Hardware Event today, and it announced its latest Stick Up Cam Pro. This camera looks a lot like some of Ring’s more recent camera updates in the past year or so. And it’s also bringing “Bird’s Eye View” to this camera. A feature that had already been available on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, Floodlight Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Pro.
Bird’s Eye View is the marketing name that Ring uses for its radar detection feature that is able to track a person’s path across the camera’s field of view. This will make the Stick Up Cam Pro able to monitor where your visitors go, and the route that they took to get there.
As expected, the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro is weather-resistant and pretty small and sleek. This means that you can use it outside without any issues. Ring has also added HDR video here, and color night vision. Making it a lot easier to use at night. There’s also a pair of microphones included for clearer audio here. There’s also two-way talk and a siren, that can scare off would-be intruders.
When can I buy the new Ring Stick Up Cam Pro?
The new Ring Stick Up Cam Pro is available for pre-order today, starting at $180 for the battery and plug-in models. There is a solar version available that will cost you $210. Of course, that does also include a small solar panel, so the higher price makes sense. Ring says that they will be available on October 18. It’s a pretty decent price, for a “Pro” version of the Stick Up Cam.
With that release date, we would not expect to see it get discounted during Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days which is happening October 10 and October 11. But we could also be wrong, on that front.
LG is one of those companies that do just about everything. It’s a large multimedia tech company that’s the foundation of many people’s entertainment experiences. While that’s true, the company is still looking to expand its entertainment operating system to more devices. LG is going to expand WebOS to 100 million more devices within the next couple of years, according to SamMobile.
LG has been expanding its businesses since leaving the smartphone industry. However, it’s still working on technology for smartphones going forward. The company has been working on Metalenses for cameras, which can drastically reduce camera size. Also, LG is still supplying OLED panels to Apple for its iPhones. This is on top of collaborating with Samsung on battery technology.
LG is going to expand WebOS to 100 million more devices
WebOs is LG’s entertainment operating system. It’s present on LG’s smart TVs and its line of home appliances. It’s already running on more than 200 million devices around the world. However, the company announced that it’s going to be expanding.
LG announced during the LG WebOS Partner Summit 2023 that it’s going to invest KRW 1 trillion ($753 million USD) into expanding WebOS into 100 million more devices. It hopes to achieve this within the next three years. So, we can expect to see more devices on the market that run this operating system.
Along with delivering more devices with WebOS, the company will also use the investment to make the experience better. This will include increasing the amount of content available through the platform. LG plans on strengthening partnerships with different content creation services throughout the world and pushing improvements to the UI.
One notable announcement during the summit was the company’s focus on AI. Now, LG is not coming out with an AI chatbot or anything. Instead, the company wants to create a VUI (voice user interface). This could allow users to navigate the software using only their voice. The company will implement this VUI into its partners’ apps, so the experience will be seamless.
So, this seems like pretty standard fare for an LG event. The company is always working on something new, and this new focus on WebOS will be good for the people who use its products.
When you think of smart glasses, the first thing you think of is probably not Amazon’s new Echo Frames. If you were aware they even existed at all. You might think of Google Glass. The infamous smart eyewear that was both praised by businesses and lambasted by almost everyone else. But if you’re wrapped up in the Alexa ecosystem, the Echo Frames might actually be a good fit. Not only for your face but also for your Alexa-powered lifestyle.
Today Amazon announced its next generation of the Echo Frames. The company says it took its first pair and listened to users about everything they loved about them. It then “worked backwards from what customers wanted—putting an emphasis on aesthetics and making the technical improvements they requested.” Amazon believes it achieved its goal of more aesthetically pleasing smart glasses that also provide even more functionality than before. And we’d be inclined to agree.
Amazon’s new Echo Frames feature seven stylish designs and multiple lens options
Smart glasses aren’t completely new and yet, they’re not mainstream either. And a big reason for that is because many of them just don’t look good sitting on your face. Amazon is trying to change that with the Echo Frames. Which come in seven different frame styles and offer multiple types of lenses to cater to a wide range of tastes.
The new styles include Modern Rectangle, Rectangle, Round, Square, Cat Eye, and two options from Carrera Eyewear—the Carrera Cruiser and the Carrera Sprinter. As for lens options, you can choose between a few different types. This includes sunglass lenses with UV400 protection, prescription ready, or blue light lenses.
The lenses are also IPX4 water resistant. In terms of battery life, you can expect to get around 6 hours or so on a single charge. Amazon says this is about 40% more time to listen to continuous media playback and about 80% more continuous talk time.
Connect simultaneously to multiple devices
Any Bluetooth product is made instantly better by having the capability to connect to multiple devices at once. And the new Echo Frames will do that. You can pair them with up to two devices at the same time, and then switch between the two audio sources at your leisure. There’s also a button for starting playlists and you can filter out notifications so your audio isn’t interrupted. And if these get lost, no problem. Amazon integrated a way to find them by asking Alexa where they are. Alexa will then tell you their last known location.
The new Echo Frames will retail for a starting price of $269.99 and you can sign up to be notified when pre-orders go live.
Amazon just held its latest hardware event, but it seemed to announce more about software than hardware. During the event, we heard about some neat additions coming to Alexa. According to Amazon (via Engadget), Alexa is coming out with a new Emergency Assist feature that could save your life.
Voice assistants are always there when you need them. You can summon them to look up recipes, get traffic information, search for songs, and much more. However, what if you’re in serious trouble? What if your life is at stake? Well, Amazon has something for you to keep you and your family safe.
Amazon announces the Alexa Emergency Assist
This is a handy feature to have if you or a family member needs medical assistance. In the case of an emergency, you can simply call out “Alexa, call for help”. When you do that, Alexa will send first responders to your house. When you sign up for the program, you’ll input certain information like your address, the medications that you have to take, allergies, and other relevant health information.
Since Amazon already has this information, it will then send the responders to your house without you needing to summon the assistant again. It’s a nifty and easy way to get emergency help sent to your house quickly.
Alexa Emergency Assist is coming soon to the US market. We don’t know when/if it will make its way over to other countries in the future. When it launches, it will cost you $6/month. That’s not a bad price for such a useful feature. If you don’t want to bother with monthly payments, there’s a $59/year plan that you can also choose.
This feature will be compatible with all Alexa-enabled devices. So, if you’re still rocking the first-generation Alexa speaker from 2014, you can have access to this feature.
Google Maps gave 47-year-old Philip Paxson directions that led him to drive off a collapsed bridge to his death alleges a lawsuit filed against Google and others by the North Carolina man’s family. Paxson was driving home from a party for his daughter’s ninth birthday party on September 30, 2022, when according to the lawsuit, the Google Maps app directed him to drive over a bridge that collapsed in 2013.
Per Gizmodo, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of Paxson’s widow, Alicia. The law firm representing the family issued a press release saying that “directions from Google Maps misguided him to his death over a long collapsed bridge.” Paxson and his family had just moved from Florida to Hickory, North Carolina; since Philip was unfamiliar with the area, he relied on Google Maps for navigation. But in the dark and the rain, the app was leading Paxson toward a bridge that was called the “Bridge to Nowhere” by locals for a decade.
State troopers who reported to the scene and recovered Mr. Paxson’s body noted that there were no signs or barriers to warn drivers about the collapsed bridge. According to the press release, people living in Hickory, North Carolina, where the collapsed bridge was located, tried to get Google Maps to route traffic away from the collapsed bridge and to get the owners of the bridge (co-defendants with Google) to put up barriers and warning signs. The residents also wanted the owners of the bridge to repair it.
Picture of the collapsed bridge snapped in the light of day after the incident
Robert W. Zimmerman, one of the attorneys representing the Paxson family said, “For nine years, the community of Hickory was needlessly and senselessly placed at risk, when a road-bridge collapsed in 2013, and when one of the largest companies in the world refused to correct its mapping algorithms despite repeated pleas. For years before this tragedy, Hickory residents asked for the road to be fixed or properly barricaded before someone was hurt or killed. Their demands went unanswered.”
At the time Google Maps showed that the road, which included the collapsed bridge, was passable
He added, “We’ve discovered that Google Maps misdirected motorists like Mr. Paxson onto this collapsed road for years, despite receiving complaints from the public demanding that Google fix its map and directions to mark the road as CLOSED. Philip’s widow Alicia is adamant we do everything possible to obtain justice and make sure something like this tragic nightmare cannot happen to another family.” According to the court filing, Google finally edited Google Maps on October 10, 2022, after the family’s attorneys sent a recommendation to Google.
Google finally edits Google Maps to stop leading drivers to the collapsed bridge
Honestly, this should worry all of us who depend on a mapping and navigation app to get around, especially when it is dark outside and visibility is poor. If you’re driving in an area that you’re not familiar with, it might not be a bad idea to call the non-emergency phone number of the police department in the city of your destination and ask them if there is anything about the local roads that you should know about.
Samsung is rolling out a new One UI 6.0-based update for Galaxy S23 users enrolled in the beta program. However, it isn’t the fourth beta build. Instead, the company is pushing a minor hotfix update to patch some critical bugs present in Beta 3, which arrived last week.
The latest One UI 6.0 beta update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra is already available in most of the markets where Samsung has opened the beta program, i.e. China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the UK, and the US. The new firmware build number ends with ZWIB, while the OTA (over the air) package weighs just over 360MB for the Ultra model.
The official changelog states that the update fixes a system issue that caused the problems when the device is connected to a 6GHz Wi-Fi network. It also patches other bugs and improves system stability. While the changelog mentioned no new features or other changes, some users noticed improvements in system animations. Moving from one page to another now feels smoother.
This update seemingly brings the Google Assistant At a Glance widget as well. Additionally, Galaxy S23 phones running on One UI 6.0 beta are getting “mini menus” in the Quick Panel. Long-pressing some buttons on the Quick Panel brings up a new menu for instant action. For example, the auto-rotate button lets you quickly configure the settings for the home screen, lock screen, call screen, and more. Likewise, the torch button lets you adjust the brightness. You can see this in action below.
Samsung is rapidly expanding its One UI 6.0 beta program for Galaxy devices
Samsung opened One UI 6.0 public beta for the Galaxy S23 series on August 11. It has since pushed three major beta updates and a few hotfix updates to the devices. The company has also launched beta programs for the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy A54, and Galaxy A34. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are also confirmed to get beta updates later this month.
All of this suggests that Samsung will roll out the stable One UI 6.0 update for the Galaxy S23 series before the end of October, with others to follow shortly afterward. It remains to be seen whether Google’s delayed Android 14 release affects Samsung’s rollout (One UI 6.0 is based on Android 14). We will let you know when we have more information. In the meantime, interested Galaxy users can check for the beta program through the Samsung members app.
Starting the month of October, the TikTok MyRTO tracker app might start tormenting certain workers. This new app is meant to track worker attendance at the office via badge swipes for check-in. Through this means, the short-form video-sharing platform will be able to keep track of workers reporting for duty at the office.
But why is there an app to track whether workers at TikTok check in at the office? Well, this is a result of the work-from-home policy that various firms around the world, including TikTok, gave to their workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This helped to keep not only the workers safe, but also the entire company by limiting their contact with others by going to the office.
The COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a threat globally, and things are readjusting to the way they were before the global outbreak. Despite this fact, most workers are a bit reluctant to resume work in their respective offices. This is because they have become too comfortable working from home, and TikTok has come up with a nifty plan to get them back to the office.
While the new TikTok MyRTO tracker app reflects innovative thinking, it poses a threat to workers
TikTok expects its employees around the world to get back to the office, but things aren’t moving fast. To combat the unwillingness of staff to return to the office, TikTok rolled out a tracking app. The function of this app is to register an employee’s check-in and also spot missed check-ins if there are any.
Workers who miss their check-in for any reason will be called for questions about the reason for the missed check-in. With this new MyRTO tracking app, supervisors and HR managers at TikTok can monitor workers’ in-person attendance. This app doesn’t track the worker’s every move but keeps a tab on their check-ins to ensure compliance with the return-to-office instructions.
While this new tracking app is great for TikTok, it is going to be a nightmare for certain staff in the company. These include those who have become so used to working from home and prefer it to working from an office. Ever since the pandemic ended, some workers have kicked off office work, but some are still working from home.
Those who prefer working from home are the use of this new app for tracking check-ins. This is because according to TikTok staff, the punishments for missing a check-in at the office are unnecessary. While certain staff feel this way, TikTok doesn’t have the same mindset as the MyRTO tracking app and its usage.
With this new app, most staff members who prefer working from home will begin to show up in offices. TikTok has plans to give most workers some days off within the week, so they can rest and relax. From next month, usage of this app will keep off and employees and TikTok will need to comply with the office check-in to avoid any complaints.
More DoppelPaymer ransomware group suspects have been identified by blockchain investigations and had search warrants executed against them.
The German police in cooperation with the US Secret Service have executed search warrants against suspected members of the DoppelPaymer ransomware group in Germany and Ukraine.
In March of 2023, we reported how the German Regional Police and the Ukrainian National Police, with support from Europol, the Dutch Police, and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), apprehended two suspects and seized computer equipment.
Since then, cybercrime group specialists from the North Rhine-Westphalia State Criminal Police Office (LKA NRW), together with the Cybercrime Central and Contact Point (ZAC NRW), carried out another targeted strike against people associated with the criminal network.
Two men in particular became the focus during blockchain investigations by the LKA NRW and the US Secret Service. They are a 44-year-old Ukrainian who apparently held a key position within the organization and a 45-year-old man from southern Germany who is suspected of having received suspicious funds, possibly originating from ransomware attacks.
Cryptocurrency investigators use specialized strategies to track down criminals. The investigators use tools to collect evidence, trace funds through the blockchain, and try to determine who converted them into fiat currencies. Although cryptocurrency is anonymous, that doesn’t mean it’s untraceable. All the transactions are recorded on a public ledger, which provides a treasure trove of data to search, analyze, and categorize.
Since March of 2021, DoppelPaymer has been missing from our monthly ransomware reviews, and the last known leak site address we had on record for them has been taken offline.
During their active period (2017 – 2021), more than 600 victims worldwide were extorted, some of them up to double-digit millions. The investigations by the German authorities, which have been ongoing since 2020, led to the international public search for Igor Olegovich Turashev and Igor Garshin in March 2023. Both of these suspects are currently on EUROPOL’s “Most-Wanted” list. The suspicion against a third person could not be sufficiently substantiated during further investigations, so the public search was withdrawn.
Prevent intrusions. Stop threats early before they can even infiltrate or infect your endpoints. Use endpoint security software that can prevent exploits and malware used to deliver ransomware.
Detect intrusions. Make it harder for intruders to operate inside your organization by segmenting networks and assigning access rights prudently. Use EDR or MDR to detect unusual activity before an attack occurs.
Stop malicious encryption. Deploy Endpoint Detection and Response software like Malwarebytes EDR that uses multiple different detection techniques to identify ransomware, and ransomware rollback to restore damaged system files.
Create offsite, offline backups. Keep backups offsite and offline, beyond the reach of attackers. Test them regularly to make sure you can restore essential business functions swiftly.
Don’t get attacked twice. Once you’ve isolated the outbreak and stopped the first attack, you must remove every trace of the attackers, their malware, their tools, and their methods of entry, to avoid being attacked again.
Malwarebytes EDR and MDR removes all remnants of ransomware and prevents you from getting reinfected. Want to learn more about how we can help protect your business? Get a free trial below.
Apple’s iPhone 15 series was announced quite recently, and the ‘Pro Max’ model is the most powerful device in that series. We’ve already compared it to several phones, and in this article, it’s time to place one of Google’s phones on the other side. We’ll compare the Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. In other words, the most powerful smartphones these two companies have to offer. Granted, the Pixel 8 series is right around the corner, but until that happens, we’re focusing on the Pixel 7 Pro.
We’ll first list the specifications of both smartphones, and will then compare them across a number of categories. Needless to say, these two smartphones are quite different. That doesn’t go only for their software, though. Their designs are entirely different, and so are their internals. If you’re still trying to decide whether to get one of them, we do hope that this comparison will help.
Specs
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Max, respectively
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Design
The Google Pixel 7 Pro is made out of aluminum and glass. It is curvier than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and has a camera visor on the back. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is made out of titanium and glass, and it has flat sides, with slightly rounded edges, for comfort. It also has a more regular camera island on the back. The two phones have a completely different in-hand feel, though both are rather comfortable to hold.
You will notice thin bezels on both smartphones, but they’re uniform only on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Google Pixel 7 Pro’s bottom bezel is slightly thicker than the rest. The Pixel 7 Pro has a centered display camera hole up top, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max includes a pill-shaped cutout, which is much larger. The Pixel 7 Pro’s camera visor is covered by metal, and it connects to the frame on the sides. The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a recognizable camera layout on the back, in the top-left corner.
All the physical buttons are on the right-hand side of the Pixel 7 Pro. Only the power/lock key is on the right-hand side of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. On the left, you’ll find the volume up and down buttons, as well as an Action Button. The Pixel 7 Pro is slightly taller than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and also slightly thicker. The two phones are basically equally wide. Both devices do come with an IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, and both are quite slippery in the hand. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is slightly heavier.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Display
The Pixel 7 Pro includes a 6.7-inch QHD+ (3120 x 1440) LTPO AMOLED display. That panel is curved, and offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It also supports HDR10+ content, and goes up to 1,500 nits of peak brightness. We’re looking at a 19.5:9 display aspect ratio here, and the display is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus.
On the flip side, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, has a 6.7-inch display too, but a different one. This panel is flat, and it’s an LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display. It has a 120Hz refresh rate too, and supports HDR10 content, along with Dolby Vision. This panel goes up to 2,000 nits of brightness, and has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, the same as the Pixel 7 Pro’s display. This panel is protected by the Ceramic Shield glass.
That being said, both of these displays are excellent. They offer vivid colors, with deep blacks, and great viewing angles. The touch response is also quite good on both of them. The iPhone 15 Pro Max’s display does offer higher brightness in direct sunlight, but the Pixel 7 Pro is not that far behind. Truth be said, you’ll be happy with either one of these panels, both are great.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Performance
The Google Pixel 7 Pro is fueled by the Google Tensor G2 processor. That is a 5nm chip. The phone also includes 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is fueled by the Apple A17 Pro SoC, a 3nm chip. The phone is equipped with 8GB of RAM, and NVMe storage. The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a considerably more powerful chip out of the two.
Is that sheer power easily noticeable in day-to-day usage? Well, it’s noticeable, but only if you’re using them side by side, or have used both. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is snappier, no doubt about that. It can open up apps a bit faster, and overall it feels a bit snappier. The Pixel 7 Pro is a snappy phone too, and Google is using that processor in a rather smart way. Both phones do a great job with everyday tasks, including multitasking.
When it comes to games, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a lot more prowess. It can run console-level quality games, some of which are coming to the device. The Pixel 7 Pro does good in the gaming department, but you may have issues with the most demanding games available on the Play Store. That chip is simply not made for gaming, and the same goes for the phone itself. Both phones do get quite warm during prolonged exposure to demanding games.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Battery
There is a 5,000mAh battery included in the Pixel 7 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro Max, on the other hand, includes a 4,422mAh battery. Apple’s iPhones usually need less battery capacity in comparison to Android phones, so this is not surprising. That is actually a good battery size for the Pro Max. That being said, how do they do in terms of battery life? Is the iPhone 15 Pro Max superior, as many expected?
Well, based on initial battery life tests, not really. The Pixel 7 Pro lingered around 7 hours of screen-on-time for us. Well, 6.5-7 hours of screen-on-time. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is not far from that, based on initial tests. In fact, it seems to be even slightly worse. Let’s hope that the battery life will improve, or that Apple will release an update to do just that. Things are not looking promising. You may get a different experience, of course, and also by the time you read this, things could change. At the moment, however, the battery life on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is far from great.
When it comes to charging, the Pixel 7 Pro supports 23W wired, 23W wireless, and also 5W reverse wireless charging. The iPhone 15 Pro Max supports 20W wired, 15W wireless (MagSafe), and 7.5W Qi wireless charging. Qi2 charging will be supported as well, once it comes to the stage, and the phone can also reverse charge other devices via a wire. Neither of the two phones includes a charger in the box.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: Cameras
The Pixel 7 Pro has a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide unit (126-degree FoV), and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera (5x optical zoom). The iPhone 15 Pro Max, on the other hand, includes a 48-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera (120-degree FoV), and a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (5x optical zoom).
Both of these smartphones shoot great pictures and videos, but there are quite a few differences. The images from the Pixel 7 Pro do look more processed, but that’s what most people will likely prefer either way. Also, the Pixel 7 Pro still has the edge when it comes to HDR shots. The iPhone 15 Pro Max still overexposes the background in many such scenarios, though the situation is a lot better than it was on the iPhone 14 Pro series.
Both phones do provide you with detailed, and sharp images during the day. The colors are outstanding on both smartphones, and there’s very little to complain about. During the night, both do a great job. The iPhone 15 Pro Max tends to keep images a bit darker, to be closer to real life, but they’re still great, with great colors and detail. The Pixel 7 Pro tends to make them a bit brighter, though. When the video is concerned, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is still the king, basically. The Pixel 7 Pro is not bad in the video department, though, not at all.
Audio
You’ll find a set of stereo speakers on both of these phones. The sound output is good on both, and on par, basically. The iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn’t bring a notable improvement in that regard over the iPhone 14 Pro Max. They’re both loud enough too.
An audio jack is not present on either device. The good news is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max does have a Type-C USB port now. You can utilize that port on both phones to connect your wired headphones. If you prefer to go wireless, the Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max offer Bluetooth 5.2 and Bluetooth 5.3, respectively.
