ICYMI: the 7 biggest tech stories of the week

Here are the seven biggest tech stories from the past week:

1. A new digital music player called the Sudo player has been unveiled, designed to look like Apple's iPod Classic with a clickwheel and touchscreen interface. It features a 3.5mm headphone jack and memory card slot, but won't be available until late next year.

2. OpenAI has given ChatGPT a fresh makeover with its new Intelligent UI, which adds more visual elements like maps, diagrams, and pictures to the app's responses. This update is available to all users now.

3. Garmin has released its longest-lasting GPS watch to date, the Enduro 4, which boasts a 1.4-inch MIP display and up to 90 days of battery life. The company also unveiled the golf-focused Approach S72, which provides biometric tracking and access to over 43,000 course maps.

4. Google is making changes to its Gemini AI plans, potentially limiting access to the most advanced and expensive models for users on free or Plus tiers. This move aims to make the service more comparable to ChatGPT in terms of AI model access.

5. Sonos has released a long-requested app update for its Beam Ultra smart speaker, which includes features like retaining playlist place after switching functions and an on-screen virtual volume knob for easier control. Android users also benefit from improved library search functionality.
