AirPods With CAMERAS Could Be Coming — And That's Terrifying

New AirPods Pro with cameras were thankfully not announced at the September Apple event. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge September Apple events are always a swirl of information and new, exciting products, and today's was no different. Apple announced its first foldable, the iPhone Duo, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max; active noise cancellation (ANC) is now on the cheapest AirPods model, the AirPods 5; and a Siri Recap feature comes to the Watch Series 12 and Watch Ultra

The Black iPhone Pro Is BACK

Black is back. | Photo: Nilay Patel / The Verge Apple has seen reason: It has a black model in the iPhone Pro lineup again. Last year, Apple went bold with its colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, offering a flashy orange, a shiny silver, and a dark blue. Don't get me wrong, they looked nice. But there was no black (or dark gray) for the first time since the start of the iPhone Pro lineup, which Apple first introduced in September 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max.

The Forgotten History of Microsoft's STRANGEST Devices

Apple announced the company's first device with a folding screen today, the iPhone Duo, but that's where the firsts end. The Duo is not only far from the first foldable on the market thanks to the efforts of Samsung and Google, but it's also not the first product to be called the Duo. Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs popularized the saying "good artists copy, great artists steal," but will the iPhone Duo's folding screen, which features a custom nano-texture display material to help minimize the vis

The Hidden Way to Reclaim GIGABYTES From Google in Minutes

Few automated emails trigger a micro-headache quite like the dreaded cloud storage warning: “Your storage is 95 percent full. Upgrade now or risk losing access to everything you hold dear.” The natural impulse is to hand over your credit card for the next storage tier. It costs a couple of bucks a month, it solves the immediate problem, and you can get back to work. But doing that is the digital equivalent of renting a bigger storage unit because you refuse to throw away empty cardboard boxes. B

The Switch 2 Update That Changes EVERYTHING About TV Gaming

Nintendo always promised that the Switch 2 would support variable refresh rate (VRR) when docked, but the console launched without this key feature. A new 23.0.0 firmware update now adds VRR support to the Switch 2 when it's docked and in TV mode. VRR adjusts a display's refresh rate to match a game's frame rate, smoothing out gameplay and reducing screen tearing.

Why Enterprise AI Is Still Waiting for Its BREAKTHROUGH Moment

I still remember where I was when Steve Jobs walked onto the stage at the Moscone Center in January 2007. I was watching the livestream, and somewhere around the first demo I had the distinct feeling that the ground had shifted. Not because the iPhone invented anything—it didn’t—but because it made everything that already existed finally work together. That’s how he managed to spark the smartphone revolution.   In 2007, we already had email, web browsing, cameras, MP3 players, and what the indus

Why Your Brand Purpose Isn't What Consumers REMEMBER

For years, brands have been told they need a purpose. Nearly every company now has a purpose statement, manifesto, or a carefully crafted description of how it’s making the world a better place.
