Berlin – September 07, 2026 -- LG Electronics is unveiling an expanded AI Home ecosystem at IFA 2026, showing how connected appliances, TVs and home hubs can automate daily chores and cut energy use for European households. The showcase, set up in Hall 18 at Messe Berlin, centers on the LG ThinQ ON home hub and the ThinQ AI platform.

A text-chat AI agent makes its public debut.

ThinQ Claw, a new text-based AI agent integrated with ThinQ ON, recommends actions based on household conditions and daily routines using natural-language interaction. LG is also extending AI Home beyond private residences with ThinQ Pro, a business-facing tool for centralized control of appliances and HVAC systems in commercial spaces. A Home Energy Management System powered by Homey -- the smart home platform LG acquired from Athom in 2024 -- coordinates energy generation, storage and consumption across a home.

Berlin – September 07, 2026 -- Haier will exhibit AI-driven home appliances, connected services, and robotics at IFA 2026, running September 4 to 8 at Stand 101 in Hall 3.1 in Berlin.

The company brings a connected ecosystem under one theme

Under the banner "Home of Intelligent Possibilities," Haier will demonstrate technologies spanning laundry care, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, cleaning, and entertainment, all designed to learn from user behavior and adapt to individual routines. Demonstrations include laundry systems that analyze load conditions, cooling technology aimed at better food preservation, and AI-assisted cooking appliances that identify ingredients and monitor the cooking process. The company's hOn platform will tie products, services, and digital experiences into a single interface.

Berlin – September 07, 2026 -- TECNO will showcase a new lineup of concept and consumer devices at IFA ShowStoppers 2026, including a phone with an industry-first true 0mm display border, at Hall 5.3, tables 501 and 503, on September 3 from 6 to 9 PM.

The Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone eliminates the last visible screen border

The device removes the 1mm to 2mm black border typically found between a smartphone's active display and its outer frame, using advanced internal stacking and reworked screen packaging. It follows TECNO's Modular Concept Phone, which was shown at MWC 2026.

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – September 07, 2026 -- KuCoin Web3 Wallet has upgraded its trading infrastructure, combining intent-based swaps and limit orders into a single self-custodial interface, the company announced.

The update integrates with UniswapX, PancakeSwapX and 1inch, letting users trade supported crypto assets and tokenized real-world assets directly within the wallet instead of switching between separate apps.

Intent-based swaps let solvers compete to fill orders

Through UniswapX and PancakeSwapX, eligible swaps can use intent-based execution: users state the outcome they want, and third-party fillers or solvers compete to execute the trade. Depending on the asset, network and available route, this can offer broader liquidity access, competitive quotes, gas-abstracted execution and protection against MEV attacks such as front-running and sandwich attacks.

Berlin – September 07, 2026 -- Acer has revealed the Acer SFF RTX Spark, a compact desktop design built to run advanced AI agents directly on a user's machine rather than in the cloud. The company showed off the design at its next@Acer global press conference during IFA 2026 on September 2.

The desktop packs supercomputer-level power into a small-form-factor case.

Powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark superchip, the machine is built to deliver up to 1 petaflop of AI compute alongside up to 128 GB of high-speed unified memory. Under the hood, it can include up to a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU paired with up to a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU.

Berlin – September 07, 2026 -- ASUS has introduced its new ProArt lineup at IFA 2026, built around NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform to let creators and developers run heavy AI workloads directly on their laptops instead of the cloud.

The lineup includes the ProArt P16 and P14 laptops plus the GR1X mini PC, all powered by RTX Spark, which pairs a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU. ASUS says the systems deliver up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and up to 128GB of unified memory.

On-device AI removes cloud token limits

RTX Spark can run 120-billion-parameter large language models, render 3D scenes larger than 90GB, and generate 4K AI video entirely on the device, according to ASUS. The company says this gives users full workflow customization and private local data handling without relying exclusively on cloud services.

Irvine, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- Aurzen has unveiled the ZIP Pro, a tri-fold pocket projector the company calls the world's first Full HD device of its kind, and marked the launch with a display in Times Square ahead of IFA 2026.

The ZIP Pro unfolds to project an 80-inch Full HD screen and is designed for use in settings ranging from hotel rooms and campsite tents to the inside of a Tesla, according to Aurzen.

A compact chassis tackles the brightness problem

Aurzen says fitting Full HD performance into a pocket-sized device required solving a common projector design bottleneck: maximizing brightness without a bulky housing. The company built ZIP Pro on what it describes as a proprietary optical architecture engineered to balance volume, thermal dissipation, and light output within an ultra-compact frame.

Bedford, Mass. – September 07, 2026 -- iRobot has launched the Roomba Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock, priced at $1,199, alongside a cheaper sibling, the $899 Roomba Plus 678 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock, both available now at irobot.com and arriving at North American retailers later this month.

A sealing skirt changes how the robot grips carpet

"With SealForce, we're able to seal the chassis against the carpet fibers, so the airflow ... has somewhere to go instead of escaping around the edges," said Adam Pope, iRobot's Vice President and Chief Engineer.
