Apple Knows AI Isn’t What People Really Want, but It Can’t Say That

If you felt like Apple’s WWDC 2025 was a bit light on AI, you’re not alone. While conferences from competitors like Google and its annual I/O keynote were basically breathless in launching new Gemini features, models, and video generation tools, Apple took a more tepid approach. This year, we got a new AI health coach, Visual Intelligence, for more agentic, multimodal AI that can view your iPhone screen, and everyone’s favorite—new Genmoji. One thing that doesn’t appear on that shortlist is Appl

What It Took to Build the Death Star

The ultimate manifestation of the Empire’s overwhelming belief in strength through fear, the Death Star is everything insidious and evil about the Imperial engine in Star Wars—as well as its inevitable downfall. But while the story of stopping the Death Star is well trod at this point, the story of just how it was built in the first place is much more complicated. It’s not just complex because the Death Star’s construction took place over the course of decades, but because of that time frame, t

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery. But I'm admittedly wary of the fact that, without any cues

The Viral Storm Streamers Predicting Deadly Tornadoes—Sometimes Faster Than the Government

At 10:44 pm Eastern time on May 16, Ryan Hall spotted a blue square on his radar indicating debris flying into the air and realized a huge tornado was racing toward Somerset, Kentucky. “We’ve been watching this storm for a while, we’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ for a while, hopefully the message has gotten out there and we know to be in our safe spots,” Hall warned his YouTube audience in a calm voice with a Southern twang. A silver robot with blue eyes popped onto the screen to tell Hall tha

Google will reduce Pixel 6A battery capacity due to overheating issues

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Earlier this year, Google shipped a Pixel 4A update to some owners that lowered battery life to mitigate overheating risk, and soon, it’s going to do the same for the Pixel 6A. “A subset of Pixel 6A phones will require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating,” Google’s Alex Moriconi says in a statement to The Verge. “The update will ena

What Are Those Weird Devices Basketball Players Are Holding?

The mood during the second half of the 2024 NCAA women’s basketball national title game was predictably intense. In what would later be revealed as the most-watched women’s college game of all time, the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks were looking to close out a perfect season against Iowa and superstar Caitlin Clark. The score margin had rarely left single digits. Players on both squads were leaving everything on the floor. As Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley instructed her team during time-ou

The Best Meat Subscription Boxes, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

The first reason ButcherBox earned our top spot is the packaging, which was much sturdier than several other boxes we tried. The last thing anyone wants is to come home to a box of spoiled meat. The second is sourcing transparency. While humane-washing is a real thing and ButcherBox does not disclose the names of specific farms it works with, it offers third-party oversight, like Certified Humane and USDA Organic certification. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. You can select from two subsc

Putin Dangles a Nuclear Arms Treaty While Accusing Ukraine of ‘Hysteria’

The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire in February 2026. While answering questions in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin dangled the possibility of extending it. The cost of the nuclear arms control treaty was subtle but clear. Putin wants everyone to ignore Kyiv’s “hysteria” over not being part of the negotiations for the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is an Obama-era treaty betwe

Astronomers create first 3D map of a hellish alien planet's atmosphere

The big picture: Nearly 6,000 exoplanets have now been confirmed in the vast expanse of the Milky Way galaxy. Some are believed to have the potential to harbor life, while others are so hostile that they make Venus seem mild by comparison. One such planet is the ultra-hot Jupiter known as WASP-121b, nicknamed Tylos – a world so extreme it defies expectations. Located around 900 light-years away in the Puppis constellation, Tylos orbits its parent star at an absurdly close distance, completing a

The busiest US airline now supports Apple’s AirTag location sharing

Pomera's typewriter smashes crowdfunding target, brings distraction-free writing to the US

This Google Photos feature is coming to more smart TVs, tablets, and… fridges?

The least used app on my Android phone is… the Google app?!

Andy Walker / Android Authority I spent several hours rummaging through the Google app for a recent opinion piece detailing its excellent Saved feature. However, I don’t use this app often, if ever. This got me thinking: why is the Google app still around, and why does Google insist on keeping it when a search widget from Chrome could essentially replace everything I use it for? While I’m sure many users (including myself, initially) feel that it’s a vestigial piece of software from Android ve

I doubled my PC's storage with this thumb-sized accessory. Here's how it works

ZDNET's key takeaways PNY 1TB CS3150 M.2 storage drive, available for around $115. Overall, it's a fast M.2 drive with active cooling to keep running temperatures below the maximum rated temperature. The heatsink makes the drive rather bulky, and you will need a 4-pin fan header on the motherboard to power the fans. $169.99 at B&H Photo-Video In the not-so-distant past, the solution for speed-boosting an aging and sluggish PC was to add more RAM or upgrade the processor. Now, the way to sail

‘For You’ feeds are not for creators, Patreon says

Patreon has continued on its crusade against algorithmic feeds with its latest State of Create report, a look at trends in the creator economy based on internal data, and it’s an effort creators can get behind. In its survey of 1,000 creators and 2,000 fans, the membership platform reported that 53% of creators think it is more difficult to reach their followers today than five years ago. This doesn’t come as a surprise. Celebrities have fought against Instagram’s video-centric, algorithmic fe

Google Meet will now create your post-meeting to-do list

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Meet is rolling out a new “next steps” feature that uses AI to identify and organize follow-up tasks discussed during meetings. The update builds on Google Meet’s existing “Take notes for me” feature, which captures key discussion points during meetings. The feature began its gradual rollout on February 18, 2025, and is available for Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans, as well as the Gemini Education Premium add-on. Google is takin

Russian Groups Target Signal Messenger in Spy Campaign

Multiple Russia-aligned threat groups are actively targeting the Signal Messenger application of individuals likely to exchange sensitive military and government communications related to the country's war with Ukraine. For now, the activity appears limited to persons of interest to Russia's intelligence services, according to researchers at Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), who spotted it recently. But the tactics the threat actors are using in the campaign could well serve as a bluep

Russia-aligned hackers are targeting Signal users with device-linking QR codes

Signal, as an encrypted messaging app and protocol, remains relatively secure. But Signal's growing popularity as a tool to circumvent surveillance has led agents affiliated with Russia to try to manipulate the app's users into surreptitiously linking their devices, according to Google's Threat Intelligence Group. While Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine is likely driving the country's desire to work around Signal's encryption, "We anticipate the tactics and methods used to target Signal wi
