2024 was a huge year for tech, with artificial intelligence fast becoming the most promising tech advancement since, well, perhaps the internet itself. We also saw a ton of incredible new gadgets, laptops, phones, tablets, electric vehicles, and yes, even a few cool new robots.
What we didn't see, however, is a couple of services and products that were promised for 2024, but simply never saw the light of day, or were postponed into 2025 and beyond.
We waited and waited, and now that the year is done and 2025 is most definitely here, it's time to do a recap of the stuff we didn't get this year.
Apple's next-gen CarPlay Erm, 2024 is over, folks. Where are the cars? Credit: AppleThis is perhaps the most straightforward omission. Apple has long been working on the next generation of CarPlay. In the company's own words, it's "the ultimate iPhone experience for the car," as it basically takes over the car's infotainment and instrument cluster and turns it into a "cohesive design experience that is the very best of your car and your iPhone."
While the CarPlay of today is adequate, it still feels oddly disconnected from the rest of the car's user interface. But this new generation of CarPlay sounds like it could bring us as close to the fabled Apple Car as we're ever going to get, given that the company reportedly stopped working on the project after a decade of development.
The problem? The first cars with this new CarPlay were supposed to arrive in 2024, but didn't. It's not just wishful thinking on our part, either: Apple explicitly said so. In fact, the company's CarPlay site still says that the "first models arrive in 2024". Sorry to be a bummer, but 2024 is over, so hopefully the new CarPlay-equipped models will arrive soon. When it does happen, we expect it to be in a Porsche, which has been working to integrate the latest CarPlay functionality into its upcoming models.
Spotify's hi-fi tierSpotify's hi-fi subscription tier is one of the weirdest tech stories in recent years. The company originally announced it in February 2021 (yes, nearly four years ago), and, at the time, it seemed like a logical step up to compete with Amazon, Apple, and Tidal, all of which offered high-fidelity streaming on their music services.
Ah, the sweet sound of Spotify Hi-Fi not launching yet another year after it was promised. Credit: SpotifyFast forward a couple of years, and Spotify launched nothing of the sort, while stubbornly maintaining that something akin to a hi-fi subscription tier is eventually coming (it may, however, be called Spotify Supremium, or something else entirely).
Right now, there's no launch date for the service (well, if you don't count the "later this year" which is what Spotify said in 2021), and the details are still very murky. Last we've heard on the matter was from Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who said that a "deluxe version of Spotify" with "better sound" is coming, but he wouldn't share when. Well, it certainly won't happen in 2024.
Tesla's cheaper car, Robotaxi, and unsupervised FSDThe fact that we didn't get any of the above in 2024 hardly surprised anyone, given that Tesla CEO publicly said they're all coming in 2025 and beyond. But it's worth revisiting the topic, as the fabled super-affordable Tesla, the self-driving, people-hauling Tesla Robotaxi, and a version of Tesla's full-self driving (FSD) software that can drive the car autonomously, were all promised for 2024 (or earlier) at some point.
For example, Musk said in 2020 that Tesla could launch a $25,000 car by 2023. The idea saw much back and forth over the years, with Musk recently giving up on the idea of a "$25,000 non-robotaxi regular car model," while at the same time promising a "more affordable" Tesla in the first half of 2025.
Per Musk, Tesla Robotaxis were supposed to roam the streets as early as 2020; now the actual Robotaxi (or CyberCab, we're not sure about the name) model has been revealed, and is scheduled to launch in 2026.
Tweet may have been deletedFinally, unsupervised FSD, which should bring newer Teslas to the point at which they can drive themselves without the need of a human driver's intervention, is now scheduled for 2025, even though it was originally promised way, way earlier than that. The last widely available, supervised version of FSD launched very late in 2024, and reports indicate the company may finally be close to nailing it.
TL;DR: Live stream Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons on YouTube TV or Sling TV.
The final week of NFL regular season is here. The Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons will face off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Panthers are 4-12 and have long been eliminated from playoff contention. The Falcons are 8-8 and on the bubble in the NFC.
In order for the Falcons to make the playoffs, they will have to beat the Panthers. But, they would also need the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) to lose their Week 18 game against the New Orleans Saints (5-11). That would allow the Falcons to re-take the top spot in the NFC South, and likely the No. 4-seed in the conference.
When is Panthers vs. Falcons?Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons takes place at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 5. The two teams will face off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The game will air on CBS, where Ian Eagle is expected to do the play-by-play. Charles Davis is expected to join him in the booth.

But all that anecdotal evidence we've been collecting over the years since the apps launched, all the friends, acquaintances, and distant cousins who've met the loves of their lives with a swipe — their digital meet cutes might make it feel like the only way to meet your soulmate is online. But, that feeling isn't a fact.
Don't rely on dating app anecdotesAccording to a YouGov survey on How Brits Meet Their Partners published in Sept. 2024, 8 percent of us met our current or most recent significant others on a dating app. Putting that into perspective, that's less than those who met the most common way, through friends (16 percent), and less than those who met through work (14 percent), or in passing while out (12 percent). But that's also more than those who met through university or other higher education (5 percent), or through a shared hobby (4 percent). Even when combined with those who met online, through a site like OkCupid or Match, the percentage of people who met their current or most recent partner digitally rises to 12 percent. Not insignificant, but by no means a landslide.
U.S. think tank the Pew Research Center conducted similar research in their 2023 report involving 6,034 Americans. Only one in 10 adults who were in a committed relationship met their partner on a dating website or on an app, with 30 percent of Americans having tried them at one point or another.
Why does it seem like everyone's met on a dating app?Maybe we just feel like app-based relationships are everywhere because they're still relatively new. Going from zero to, as YouGov has it, 8 percent in the years since dating apps were invented is a big enough jump to make an impression. Or maybe, on some level, it's still surprising enough to be disproportionately memorable when we hear about people who met on an app and are actually happy. Or maybe it's just a small talk thing people have repeated so many times over the years that we've started to believe it. How many times have you said or heard something like: "Oh you met on Hinge? I swear everyone meets on an app these days"?
I was a big fan of dating apps when I was single. I used them to meet people for the majority of my adult life. My mum even met my lovely stepdad on a dating site over 20 years ago, way back when you couldn't add photos to your profile (imagine!) so using the apps felt pretty natural and normal to me when they came around.
Of course, I get why some people hate them for things like gamifying the dating process, encouraging us to judge books by their covers, and facilitating scores of unethical dating trends. But when I was younger, when dating was more of a hobby than a vocation, the benefits of chatting with lots of hot people while bypassing the doubt and anxiety of approaching them in real life were too huge for me to ignore. I even ended up meeting the man who'd become my husband on an app.
So yes, they can lead to something serious. Just not as often as we've led ourselves to believe. And these misplaced high expectations are making the dating scene feel even more hellish.
Hope Flynn, relationship expert and founder of female self-empowerment community So What calls dating apps "a mixed bag," adding: "I know plenty of people that have found real long-lasting relationships and even marriages through apps. But let's be real, they can get frustrating. There's lots of ghosting, trying to figure out if someone is genuine or not, and tonnes of conversations that just end up falling flat and going nowhere."
Integrative counsellor Amy Sutton, who focuses on her clients' relationships, trauma, and self-confidence, goes a little further, calling the apps a "double-edged sword" and an "emotional rollercoaster" that some of us might enjoy while others just want to get off it. Sutton, a Counselling Directory member, adds that their efficacy depends on how each user defines success. If you just want some casual hookups, the apps can be a gold mine. And if you're looking for The One, you never know, you could get lucky.
"But for others," she tells me, "the process can be frustrating, disheartening, and even traumatising. I’ve worked with clients who have experienced severe anxiety and low mood as a result of repeated experiences such as ghosting, breadcrumbing, and other dating app-associated trends."
And if you've put all your eggs in the dating app basket only to find it's not working out the way you expected, it can suck away your hope for the future. In its place, Flynn says, you'll find exhaustion, pessimism, and self-doubt. Not exactly the best frame of mind for finding love, or for your mental health in general.
Sutton says her clients are often left feeling "invisible" or "unlovable" after a string of app letdowns. They wonder whether there's something wrong with them for not being able to get them to work the way they seem to for other people. This leaves them feeling hopeless about the prospect of finding love anywhere.
"Dating fatigue leaves people so disillusioned by the process that they either avoid dating altogether or engage half-heartedly," she adds, "which perpetuates this sense of burnout. It can make them start to believe that they are simply destined to be alone. It can also lead to objectification of others — we stop seeing that there are real humans behind the profiles and start 'shopping' for matches like we would a new pair of shoes. Our ability to form meaningful connections that blossom over time is eroded."
Using dating apps as one 'string to your dating bow'If you want to keep using dating apps but also keep this damaging snowball effect from rolling, Flynn recommends seeing the apps more as a string to your dating bow, rather than your one and only hope of meeting someone. Try to put yourself out there in real life too.
To do that, Flynn suggests working to make yourself more approachable and trying to be a bit more brave, even if you're feeling shy. "Keeping a friendly and positive vibe no matter where you are can really make a difference to how people respond to you," she adds. IRL dating events have boomed this year — likely because other people are sick of the apps, too — so look for any in your area with social media or sites like Eventbrite.
Sutton has similar advice, saying: "Remain open and curious. Approach life with an open mind and you can start building your confidence to connect with others at all levels — be they acquaintances, friends, or potential partners. Whether it's accepting an invitation to an event you might otherwise have said 'no' to or striking up a conversation in the local coffee shop, being open to connection in the moment without the pressure of expectation projects a confidence and charisma that can be very attractive."
And don't feel like you have to stay on the apps at all if you don't like using them.
"These platforms are a tool," Sutton points out, "not a magic solution. The swipe-based, algorithm-driven approach to love often reduces human connection to something transactional. Remember, real love is about building intimacy, trust, and connection. Things that take time, patience, and often a bit of luck."

Pricing updated on 01/02/ 2025Kia has issued a recall of over 22,000 electric cars in the U.S. due to missing seat mounting bolts.
The recall impacts 22,883 Kia EV9 electric cars from model year 2024-25. The company states that some of these vehicles are missing second and third row seat mounting bolts, and as such "may not properly restrain an occupant during certain collisions, increasing the risk of injury." Launched in 2023, the Kia EV9 is the manufacturer's first three-row electric SUV.
SEE ALSO: KIA's concept EV fleet revealed at CES 2024 is wildly modularFortunately, it sounds as though the defect doesn't pose any danger unless you end up in an accident first. Kia reports that no injuries, crashes, fatalities or fires have actually been caused by the missing bolts, which are the result of an error by an assembly plant worker in South Korea.
However, Kia notes that customers may be able to hear their seat rattling or notice that their EV9's seats are loose.
Notifications will be sent to impacted Kia owners from Jan. 24. People who suspect their car may be included in the recall can also contact Kia customer service. Owners of affected Kia EV9 cars will be instructed to contact an authorised dealer so they can inspect all of the vehicle's seat mounting bolts, install any missing ones, and ensure they're properly fastened at no cost.
