Anki's sophisticated programmable Cozmo robot is now available in Canada

Anki's Cozmo robot with a big brain and an even bigger personality, has finally launched in Canada! Starting today, you can bring home a Cozmo robot of your own via most Best Buy stores across Canada and online at Bestbuy.ca for CA$249.99. Cozmo brings a wide array of skills as well as a personality which puts it heads and shoulders above other robots in the market.

"If you were dazzled by what’s under Cozmo’s hood when we first introduced him to Canada in June, prepare to get your minds blown as we’ve added several noteworthy features since then. Many fans of Cozmo already know that he’s more than meets the eye, that he’s operated by wildly sophisticated robotics and AI systems," Anki explains.

iPhone packaging insert, leaked image from code hint at upcoming iPhone features and design

'Next iPhone,' rumours are year round news stories, specially in 2017 when Apple is heavily expected to release a model worthy of its 10th year anniversary. The latest information points to some reference designs seen from alleged packaging inserts showing a bezel-less iPhone as well as a confirmation of this new iPhone design from code derived from a HomePod software developer preview.

Not only do we get a cohesive look at the front fascia of the new iPhone, we also get some hints that Touch ID might be replaced with facial recognition for access and Apple Pay functionality. Knowing Apple, it is also quite possible they've solved the Touch ID through the touchscreen problem in time for the iPhone's release this Fall.
