LG's newest true wireless earbuds are additions to the company's self-cleaning Tone-Free line. The Tone Free FP9 and FP8 come with a charging case that uses UV light to clean the ear tips and reduce the chance of inner ear infections. According to the company, the UV-C built into the cases are designed to eliminate bacteria on the buds' speaker mesh by 99.9% in just five minutes.

These buds feature Headphone Spatial Processing from Meridian Audio, a company LG has collaborated with throughout the years for audio tuning. They're designed to create a more immersive soundstage to make it seem like music is coming from all directions. It will work alongside 3D Sound Stage, which also expands the soundstage and mixes music to create a similar effect.

Netflix releases trailer for 'Army of the Dead' prequel 'Army of Thieves'

If you're wondering what the life of the safe-cracker Ludwig Dieter from the Netflix zombie film Army of the Dead was like, we're getting the prequel soon, and now we have a first look at Zack Snyder's Army of Thieves. Matthias Schweighöfer's Ludwig is seen being recruited in the trailer by Gwendoline, played by Game of Thrones' Nathalie Emmanuel, to pull off a major heist.

The film is still set in the post-outbreak world, but it looks like the focus this time is more on the heist than dealing with zombies while they try to pull off the heist. It still looks like it's action-packed and fun, with gunfights and car chases. And a gigantic safe for Ludwig to crack. Army of Thieves is expected to stream on Netflix this fall.

Apple rumoured to be working on a 25W wired charger for the iPhone

Apple might be finally working on improving its wired charging capabilities for the upcoming iPhone 13 series. The company is reportedly working on boosting it to 25W. It's not much, but it's a step in the right direction. Apple's primary charger goes up to 20W for wired charging. Of course, if this report is accurate, then this accessory will be sold separately. Apple stopped including free chargers with the iPhone 12 series. That modest upgrade might entice its customers to get one. 

It also reminds us that its competitors are working on wired chargers at around 65W already, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that Apple gets with that program soon.
