The iPhone 17 boasts a larger display with ProMotion support and a 120Hz refresh rate

In an absolute shocker, an early September Apple event included the official reveal of the iPhone 17. Who could have seen that coming? Arguably the biggest change this time around — in the most literal sense — concerns the display. At 6.3 inches, it's larger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch screen. Sorry to iPhone users with smaller hands and anyone else who is fed up of every phone becoming more of a phablet. The bezels are thinner too. Not only is the iPhone 17 screen larger than the one on its

Apple Watch Ultra 3 has satellite connectivity and larger display

It's been two years since Apple updated its rugged, ultra-premium Watch Ultra line, so it was long overdue for a replacement. Today, at its Awe Dropping event to launch the iPhone 17, the company has unveiled the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Apple was naturally delighted to show off a broad number of tweaks that, in aggregate, more than make up for that additional year delay. The most notable new feature is satellite communication, letting you stay in touch no matter where you are in the world. Watch U

The Big Ol’ Apple Watch Ultra Will Hit Up Satellites in Case of Emergencies

The sports-centric Apple Watch Ultra 2 is built to be the kind of smartwatch you wear when diving or racing at top speed downhill. But what should happen when your extreme sport puts you in harm’s way, and you don’t have an easy way to call for help? Finally, with the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple is adding satellite connectivity so you can ask for help when you inevitably careen into danger—helping you avoid putting the “X” in “extreme.” As detailed during Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on Tuesday,

Apple introduces AirPods Pro 3 with live translation feature

CUPERTINO, Calif.—Apple's popular AirPods Pro in-ear headphones are getting a substantial upgrade. The new model, dubbed AirPods Pro 3, greatly improves active noise cancellation (ANC), performs live translations, and tracks your heart rate like a fitness wearable. This will have to be subjected to third-party testing, but Apple made some intriguing claims about AirPods Pro 3's performance during its iPhone and Apple Watch announcement today. Namely, that they'll have twice the ANC performance

Ramp says it has hit $1B in annualized revenue

In Brief On Tuesday, Ramp answered any lingering questions as to why investors recently valued the expense management startup at $22.5 billion, just 45 days after a previous funding round valued it at $16 billion: the company says it has achieved $1 billion in annualized revenue.

The U.S. Department of Justice has charged Ukrainian national Volodymyr Viktorovich Tymoshchuk for his role as the administrator of the LockerGoga, MegaCortex, and Nefilim ransomware operations. Also known online as deadforz, Boba, msfv, and farnetwork, Tymoshchuk was involved in ransomware attacks that led to the breach of hundreds of companies, resulting in millions of dollars in damages, according to a superseding indictment unsealed today.

Disrupting the DRAM roadmap with capacitor-less IGZO-DRAM technology

A novel DRAM memory cell with two IGZO-based transistors The bit cell of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the main memory within traditional compute architectures, is conceptually very simple. It consists of one capacitor (1C) and one silicon (Si)-based transistor (1T). While the capacitor’s role is to store a charge, the transistor is used to access the capacitor, either to read how much charge is stored or to store a new charge. Over the years, bit cell density scaling allowed the indust

I solved a distributed queue problem after 15 years

When I was responsible for the infrastructure at Reddit, the most important thing I maintained was Postgres, but a close second was RabbitMQ, our message broker. It was essential to the operation of reddit — everything went into a distributed queue before it went to a database. For example, if you upvoted a post, that was written to the queue and the cache, and then returned success to the user. Then a queue runner would take that item, and attempt to write it to the database as well as create a

Right-Wing Influencers Are Turning to Foreign Affairs

Wearing combat helmets and protective vests, some of the US’s most popular right-wing creators toured what they called an aid distribution hub in Gaza late last month—a trip carefully funded by Israel’s foreign ministry. By way of the nonprofit Israel365, the Israeli government funneled at least $70,000 to 15 MAGA creators to bring them to Gaza’s humanitarian sites, the Western Wall, and the Golan Heights, among other areas. “It sits here to spoil and be stolen,” Xaviaer DuRousseau captioned a

Tesla revamps the Megapack in attempt to reverse its declining storage business

Tesla is updating its utility-scale Megapack batteries as it seeks to stem the decline of its lucrative energy storage business. The new battery product known as Megapack 3, which Tesla revealed late Monday, are a bid to lure utilities and data center developers that are desperate for power. Megapack 3 stores around 1 megawatt-hour more electricity than Tesla’s largest existing offering and promises a longer lifespan. Tesla also introduced Megablock, a grouping of four Megapack 3 units that ca

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals just how chunky that camera bump may be

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera bump measures 4.5mm, a little over 2mm more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s said that Samsung is sticking with a 1/2.52″ telephoto sensor at 50MP. The leak also claims that the phone weighs 217g. Recent Galaxy S26 leaks have hinted at Samsung bringing back the camera bump next year.

Paramount+ deal: Annual subscriptions are half off right now

NASA to Make Major Announcement About Martian Rock Sample on Wednesday. Here’s How to Watch

In July 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover extracted a rock core from the edge of Neretva Vallis, a river valley cut into the Martian surface by water rushing into the Jezero Crater billions of years ago. This mysterious rock caught the attention of scientists on Earth, as its features may reveal clues about possible ancient life on the Red Planet. At 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 10, NASA will host a press conference to discuss the analysis of the sample, dubbed “Sapphire Canyon,” and the su

This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

Smart ring maker Oura’s CEO addresses recent backlash, says future is a ‘cloud of wearables’

Oura CEO Tom Hale is trying to set the record straight about the smart ring maker’s partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) and data miner Palantir, which is used by defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the United States and elsewhere. At the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference on Monday, Hale’s interview started off with a bang with his outright denial that the company was sharing user data with the government. “There was a lot of misinformation about this,” he said,

I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they beat my Meta Ray-Bans in key ways

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Rokid Glasses are launching through Kickstarter, with a retail price of $599. They feature built-in displays that project textual information, such as a teleprompter, AI responses, and more.

AI Use at Large Companies Is in Decline, Census Bureau Says

For the past few years, the AI industry has been charging full steam ahead, in what can sometimes feel like a pell-mell mad dash to take over the world.

Yet, despite the AI industry’s attempts to make itself seem omnipresent, a new report this week shows that adoption at large U.S. companies has de
