Nina Raemont/ZDNET Apple's latest lineup of Apple Watches drummed up quite the hype when they were announced during its annual iPhone event. Apple unveiled several new features, like emergency SOS communications via satellite connectivity and FDA-cleared hypertension detection.

Dark Smoke Billows After Horrific Collision Between Flying Cars

Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt. However, one unnamed company

If you own a Volvo EX90, you’re getting a free computer upgrade

If you own a 2025 Volvo EX90, here's some good news: you're getting a car computer upgrade. Even better news? It's free.

Specifically, the cars will get a new dual Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin setup, which Volvo says will improve performance and reduce battery drainage, as well as enabling some features that have been TBD so far

ESPN and Fox One net one million signups in under two weeks

It feels like we’ve reached total saturation when it comes to streaming services, but apparently people are happy to sign up for one (or two) more services if they include live sports. According to Antenna, a firm that tracks the streaming industry, the new ESPN service and Fox One signed up about a million new subscribers in just 10 days. And that number doesn’t include those signing in through a cable subscription or coming over from an existing Disney+ sub. Antenna didn’t specify how many pe

Jason Hiner and Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple this month announced its new iPhone 17 lineup at the Awe-Dropping Event in Cupertino, California. After years of playing it safe, the company is experimenting with the design of its phones. The iPhone 17 Pro Max sports its most noticeable (and maybe controversial) design changes in years. By contrast, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, retains its signature look. The two flagship pho

I Tested AirPods Live Translation With My Family. Here's What I Learned

I couldn't ask for better timing. My Spanish-speaking mother-in-law was coming to visit the day Apple released live language translation features on AirPods. It works on the new AirPods Pro 3, which hits stores Friday, along with last year's AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 -- and the user also needs to have it paired to an iPhone running the latest iOS 26 software with Apple Intelligence. My mother-in-law is bilingual and speaks English perfectly, but Spanish is her preferred language. She'll ofte

Skip Your Weekend Plans and Play Hades, Now Back on Xbox Game Pass

The god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler game Hades is one of the most popular games in recent memory -- and one of my personal all-time favorite games. The gameplay feels smooth, it's easily replayable and the game's writing is full of heart and emotion.

8 Best Alexa Speakers and Amazon Echo Devices We’ve Tested (2025)

Other Alexa (or Alexa Compatible) Speakers Amazon Echo Pop for $40: The Echo Pop is a perfectly fine little speaker, and the cutest one in Amazon's lineup. Does it have great sound? No. It's fine enough for background tunes or if you're limited to a dorm room, but you'll get much better sound for a similar size from the Echo Dot (but you'll pay a little more, and you won't get as cute of colors!) Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $90: This smart display is another just-fine option, but it's too

How do you top the best Pixel ever? With an even better Pixel 10 Pro XL

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL The Pixel 10 Pro XL is, hands down, Google's best flagship to date. It makes the most of its maxed-out body, picking up a bigger battery, brighter display, louder speakers, and shiny new camera features. Sprinkle in a suite of new AI features, magnetic accessories, and the same great software support, and it's easy to recommend the Pixel 10 Pro XL to just about anyone. Barely a year ago, I wrote that the Pixel 9 Pro XL was everything I hoped for out of a Google flagship a

iPhone Air MagSafe Battery teardown reveals a surprisingly familiar component inside

During the teardown of the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, iFixIt observed that Apple might have resorted to a clever solution to streamline production. Here are the details.
