Amazon Luna app launches on LG smart TVs

LG is teaming up with Amazon to bring the Amazon Luna cloud-based game streaming service on its smart TVs.

Amazon announced on its blog that the Amazon Luna app is now available on LG’s smart TV models launched between 2021 and 2023 and running webOS 6.0 or later. The app is currently available in the U.S. Canada, Germany, and the UK.

Amazon Prime members can access a rotating set of titles for free including “Fortnite” through the Luna app. But to access the larger catalog — including games like “Sonic Mania Plus,” “Resident Evil 2,” and “Lego DC Super Villians” — users have to pay $9.99 for a Luna+ subscription.

Users can also purchase other bundles like Ubisoft+ for $17.99 a month, which gives them access to titles like different versions of “Assassin’s Creed” and “Farcry”; and Jackbox games for $4.99 per month that unlocks a set of multiplayer party games.

Users can play games through a Luna Controller, the Luna Phone Controller app, or a compatible Bluetooth-based controller.

Last August, Amazon Luna — which launched in the U.S. in March 2022 —made its app available on Samsung Smart TVs. The latest partnership with LG will bring the service to more big screens. Earlier this year, Amazon dropped nearly 50 titles from Luna. Currently, the game streaming service offers nearly 177 titles including games offered on various channels.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
