If you are planning to buy a 2026 TCL TV in the UK, the company’s new five-year warranty offer could be useful, but it does not apply automatically. TCL has announced a promotional warranty for select 2026 TV models, extending its standard two-year manufacturer cover with an additional three years provided by Opia.

To qualify, you need to buy an eligible TCL TV from a participating UK retailer between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027. You also need to register the product through TCL’s online redemption portal within 30 days of the purchase date shown on your invoice or receipt.

What you need to do

The first two years are covered by TCL’s standard manufacturer warranty. If your TV develops a fault during this period, you will need to contact the retailer and follow the usual warranty process.

The extra promotional warranty begins after that, covering the period from day 731 to day 1825 after purchase. Once you are in that window, you can use the Track My Registration page to request a repair. TCL says you will receive a like-for-like replacement if the TV cannot be repaired.

It is worth pointing out that there are limits on claims. The promotion allows one registration per person, four per household, or 10 per business. Your proof of purchase must clearly show what you bought, where you bought it, the purchase date, and the price paid.

Not every TCL TV is included

The eligible model list includes several 2026 TCL TV lines, including X11L, RM9L, C8L, C7L, RM7L, Q7D, A400 Pro, A400U, and A400M models. You should still check TCL’s redemption portal or the retailer’s website to confirm your specific model qualifies.

The promotion may also offer some reassurance to buyers considering TCL’s newly introduced X11L SQD-Mini LED flagship TVs. The eligible list includes select X11L models, which use TCL’s new Super Quantum Dots technology and a CSOT UltraColor Filter with smaller 5-nanometer color particles. Simply put, these new TVs are meant to deliver richer, more accurate colors and stronger brightness while keeping blooming under better control in darker scenes.

Skullcandy is now part of Bose, but its bold identity isn’t going anywhere
Bold style, meet big sound. Skullcandy just joined the Bose family.

If you own a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard Bose without realizing it. Now, the two companies are making things official. Bose has bought Skullcandy, the brand that made a name for itself with eye-catching headphones and a whole lot of attitude.

This deal didn’t come out of nowhere. For the past few years, Skullcandy has been packing Bose’s audio tech into its earbuds and headphones under the Sound by Bose label. That team-up worked so well that Bose decided to go all in and bring Skullcandy into the family.

Spotify rolls out its first native car app for cable-free listening, but only Audi drivers get it for now
Spotify app on Audi

I’ve sacrificed too many charging cables to my car’s USB port (even the braided ones). All so my playlist could follow me down the road.

Spotify just launched a fully native car app that runs on the car’s infotainment system, with no phone or cable required. However, it’s only available for Audi owners right now.

Apple Music just got a new logo. And yeah, it’s inspired by sound and liquid.
What if you blast music through a clear liquid? You get ripples that inspire a new design language for Apple Music.
New Apple Music Logo

Apple just revealed a new brand identity for Apple Music. The logo with its iconic pink and white color scheme is gone. The design is almost identical, but we now have a monochrome look for the icon, with a black tone set against a white backdrop. Of course, there are also elements of liquid glass alongside the corners. That's just about it. What's fascinating is the story and how Apple actually landed on this visual.

The company says it worked with musician Fred again.. and NEST Acoustics to come up with the new design. Interestingly, in a brief video, Apple says that it actually used music to create the visuals. The video shows an Apple Music logo-shaped item submerged in a clear liquid, with ripples periodically appearing on the surface. " Essentially, the idea was to create the perfect sound wave. We take a frequency, and we play it through a rig," says the company. Take a look at the video below:
