Just One Lonely Product Still Uses Apple’s Lightning Connector—Can You Guess Which One?

wired.com Verity Burns 2025-10-09 13:23:59

While the world focuses on Apple’s latest slew of new products, we are taking a moment for the last bastion of Apple’s proprietary past—the one remaining product with a Lightning connector that, somehow, Apple still sells. We have previously lamented Apple's drawn-out transition to USB-C. It’s been far from quick and far from straightforward, leaving a mess of dongles and confusion in its wake. It was last year, at its September 2024 “Glowtime” event, that Apple made the move to change that, t

Trump’s Policies Are Shutting Out Americans From the Coolest New Gadgets

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-11 13:10:46

Tech companies big and small now struggle to tantalize you with tech without telling you how much it will cost, or—hell—whether you can even buy it. The still-ongoing IFA 2025 tech conference in Berlin proved how merely shipping tech to the U.S. is more tenuous than at any time in the last few decades. From what I saw and heard both on the floor and off, it became clear that the era of plentiful, affordable, and cool shit will melt away in favor of an epoch of dull and ever-more expensive tech.

OpenAI Is Bringing an AI-Driven Feature-Length Animated Movie to Cannes

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-11 17:45:22

You knew it was bound to happen, and now, it has. The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI is lending its services to the production of a feature-length animated film called Critterz, which is aiming to be done in time for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. That would put its production time at nine months, which is unheard of for a feature-length animated film, but that’s because it’ll be created using AI. According to the paper, using OpenAI’s resources, production companies Vertigo Films a

How Yichao “Peak” Ji became a global AI app hitmaker

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-10-13 05:30:00

At first sight, Manus works like most chatbots: Users can ask it questions in a chat window. However, besides providing answers, it can also carry out tasks (for example, finding an apartment that meets specified criteria within a certain budget). It does this by breaking tasks down into steps, then using a cloud-based virtual machine equipped with a browser and other tools to execute them—perusing websites, filling in forms, and so on.

GM slows EV production as tax credit nears expiration

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-12 22:27:45

General Motors is going to be scaling back production of the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq, as well as the Chevy Bolt EV as it expects sales of electric vehicles to slow dramatically. The $7,500 consumer tax credit for purchasing a new EV is set to expire at the end of the month. That credit has been crucial to driving demand for EVs, which are still more expensive than their gas-powered counterparts. The company is pausing production on the Lyriq and Vistiq at its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant in D

Apple’s new generative AI ‘answer engine’ might arrive sooner than we initially thought

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-12 22:37:09

Early last month, Bloomberg reported on Apple’s new in-house generative AI search product – with a new ‘Answers, Knowledge, and Information’ team. Despite this team’s recent formation, we might get to see the fruits of their labor much sooner than one might’ve anticipated. Despite all of the Apple Intelligence Siri woes, Apple still seems determined to make an impact in the generative AI space. That’s why it’s trying to develop a Perplexity and ChatGPT rival, which we’ve previously referred to

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is enough of a hit that Samsung is cranking up production

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 05:41:43

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has raised September Galaxy Z Fold 7 production to 260,000 units, up 60,000 from earlier plans. August Fold 7 output hit 430,000 units, well above the 170,000 initially targeted, while Flip 7 production fell short. Shipments could exceed Samsung’s 2.4 million-unit goal for 2025.

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning.

The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook.

FirstClub bucks India’s speed obsession, quickly triples valuation to $120M with premium approach

While quick commerce in India has become synonymous with 10-minute deliveries — and the hottest play for startups and investors — FirstClub is taking a slower, more curated route. Yet just three months after launching its app, the 8-month-old startup has tripled its valuation. At a post-money valuation of $120 million, the Bengaluru-based startup has raised $23 million in a Series A round (comprising more than 90% equity and the rest in debt) co-led by returning investors Accel and RTP Global.

When I moved in with my wife Laura in 2005, we lived in a shared apartment in Barcelona that had an ancient washing machine that was just there already, no idea who initially bought it. I managed to break the washing machine door's closing mechanism some time in 2006, so for a few weeks, whenever we did the washing, we had to lean a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. At the time, we were both students and living on a small budget. Eventually, later in the same year, we bought an Electr

Ford and the Birth of the Model T

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the
