When Is the Earliest Day You Can Get an iPhone 17?

Now that we know all the details about the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and the new iPhone Air, it's time to ask the most important question: when can we get them into our hands? Preorders for all of this year's iPhone models begin Friday at 5 a.m. PT. Then begins what feels like an endless slog before the new phones finally arrive (which, every year, is punctuated by the arrival of iPhone cases several days beforehand, as if to taunt us). So when, exactly, can we expect to see our favorite deliver

Spiral

I've been building data systems for long enough to be skeptical of “revolutionary” claims, and I’m uncomfortable with grandiose statements like “Built for the AI Era”. Nevertheless, AI workloads have tipped us into what I'll call the Third Age of data systems, and legacy platforms can't meet the moment. Three Eras of Data Systems In the beginning, databases had human-scale inputs and human-scale outputs. Postgres—the king of databases, first released in 1989[1] —is the archetypal application d

Amazon Thinks It Can Kick Meta Ray-Bans’ Ass, Report Says

There’s yet another power player entering the smart glasses space, and it’s ready to deliver on the promise of in-lens display specs. You see what I did there? Deliver? Sorry, that’s the best I got—I asked my Meta Ray-Bans to help write another joke, but they started playing Spotify instead. No, but seriously, Amazon is developing smart glasses, according to a report from The Information, and they sound like they’re designed specifically to tackle Meta and its rumored-to-be Hypernova glasses. A

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ends Its Bumpy Season With a Similarly Bumpy Finale

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has been its bumpiest ride yet, with more lows than highs. But in something that feels like somewhat of a reset for the series, its finale brings together elements from a few of those highs (and a few of those lows, for good or ill) to deliver an ending that at the very least brings the Enterprise into proverbial spacedock smoothly… if not without a few scrapes along the hull. Yes, the mostly good news is that “New Life and New Civilizations” (which g

Gmail gets a dedicated place to track all your purchases

An update to Gmail begins rolling out soon, readying Google's premier email app for all your upcoming holiday purchases. Gmail has been surfacing shipment tracking for some time now, but Google will now add a separate view just for remembering the things you have ordered. And if you want to buy more things, there's a new interface for that, too. Yay, capitalism. Gmail is quite good at recognizing purchase information in the form of receipts and shipping notifications. Currently, the app (and we

Gmail makes it easier to track upcoming package deliveries

Gmail is rolling out a new “Purchases” tab that gives users a quick overview of their upcoming package deliveries, Google announced on Thursday. The tab will allow them to access all their purchase-related emails in one place, even from past orders and shipments. The tech giant notes that Gmail will still show packages that are set to arrive within 24 hours on top of users’ inboxes. The new tab simply brings all of your purchase information together under one view. The update builds on Gmail’s

MotoE, the electric bike world championship, is going on hiatus due to lack of interest

The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) and MotoGP are putting the MotoE electric bike world championship on hiatus following the 2025 season. The organizations cite a lack of viewership and an electric performance motorcycle market that "has not developed as expected." "Today we announce the suspension of the FIM MotoE World Championship," FIM President Jorge Viegas said in a statement. "Despite all the best efforts to promote this innovative category together with (MotoGP rights holde

The Buyer’s Guide to Browser Extension Management

While most enterprises lock down endpoints, harden networks, and scan for vulnerabilities, one of the riskiest vectors often slips through unmonitored: browser extensions. These small, user-installed applications can execute privileged code, access sensitive DOM elements, intercept network requests, and even exfiltrate data, all within the context of enterprise-approved browsers. Keep Aware’s new Buyer’s Guide to Browser Extension Management explores how security and IT leaders can achieve comp

Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3 Hands-On: Time for a Bigger Reboot?

Excuse the pun, but all of the air at the Steve Jobs Theater at Tuesday’s Apple Event was sucked up by the super-skinny iPhone Air. Not to say that the iPhone 17 Pros, especially in Cosmic Orange, didn’t get their fair share of oglers (it did), but it did feel like many attendees took a quick glance at the new Apple Watches and floated on by to get back to the iPhone Air. I wasn’t at all surprised by the deflated interest in the three new Apple Watches that were announced. They’re basically int

Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’

It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction about black hole mergers. Now, another team believes they’ve found a way to observe primordial black holes—cosmic behemoths that emerged not from the ashes of dying stars but from the chaos of the early universe. In a paper published September 9 in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists make the bold prediction that, within the next decade, we will be able to w

As Apple again extends free satellite messaging, I’m doubling down on my prediction

Apple’s satellite messaging service was a key feature of the iPhone 14. Initially limited to providing an emergency service for those outside cellular coverage areas, it was subsequently extended to offer roadside assistance cover for mechanical problems and messaging with family and friends too. Although initially described as free for the first two years only, Apple subsequently extended free coverage – and has just done so again … As Macworld notes, here are the latest free periods: iPhone

Apple Free Satellite Service Extended Again for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 Owners

Off the grid doesn't mean out of luck. Apple's satellite service, which connects directly to an overhead satellite when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, will continue to be free for at least another year. The feature, a notable selling point for Apple's devices, allows iPhone users to text family and request emergency help when they're out of range. Apple's free satellite connection service was due to be cut off this year for current owners of iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, but the time

This new Android 16 QPR2 setting will make desktop mode less frustrating

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A new “Universal cursor” setting in Android 16 QPR2 will let users disable the seamless mouse movement between a phone and an external display. This toggle controls whether the mouse cursor can move between screens when it reaches the edge, preventing accidental screen-hopping. Found in the first QPR2 beta, this small but welcome change gives users more control over Android’s DeX-like desktop experience. One of the most exciting features in Android 16

Hot Chips 2025: Session 1 – CPUs

Hello you fine Internet folks, Today we are talking about Hot Chips 2025 and specifically the CPU session at Hot Chips 2025 where we had presentations from Condor Computing about their new Cuzco core, PEZY about their upcoming SC4s chip, IBM about their Power11 chip which is already shipping to customers, and Intel about their upcoming E-Core based Xeon CPU codenamed Clearwater Forest.

The Apple Watch SE 3 May Be the Biggest Underdog of Apple's Entire Fall Lineup

Apple debuted a new lineup of iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods Pros and even a brand new thinner-than-ever iPhone Air. But the real headliner (at least in this frugal girl's book), was the one I least expected: the Apple Watch SE 3. I usually overlook Apple's SE model because it lacks many of the powerhouse features of the flagship and Ultra editions, like an always-on display or temperature tracking. But this year, the underdog Apple Watch SE 3 is closing the gap, and at $249 for the base model

Samsung’s Galaxy Ultra phones could be stuck with the same telephoto camera until 2027

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR According to Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 50MP telephoto sensor on the Galaxy S6 Ultra and S27 Ultra as the one it introduced on the S24 Ultra. The tipster previously claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may actually downgrade the 3x shooter to a smaller sensor. If true, the move would echo Samsung’s decision to stick with its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor and Sony’s IMX754 3x sensor across multiple generations. Samsung’s Ultra flagships are

A polyglot's guide to multiple-dispatch (2016)

This first post in the series presents the technique and explains the problem it intends to solve. It uses C++ as the presentation language because C++ does not support multiple dispatch directly, but can be used to implement it in various ways.

The iPhone Air Looks Like a Wild Preview for Apple AR Glasses

Apple had a lot of announcements this week, but arguably none was bigger (and paradoxically thinner) than the iPhone Air. For one, there’s the fact that this is Apple’s first-ever phone with “Air” branding, marking a rare new category of iPhone, both present and future. Then, there’s the fact that the iPhone Air is very slim—5.64mm to be exact. Gizmodo’s Senior Editor, Consumer Tech, Raymond Wong, got some hands-on time with the iPhone Air, and he says it feels as thin as it looks—even thinner t

Amazon is reportedly developing separate AR glasses for customers and its drivers

Amazon may be muscling into the field of augmented reality glasses. According to a report by The Information, sources claimed that the company is working on AR glasses for consumers, allegedly with plans to release the product in late 2026 or early 2027. Insiders told the publication that the project, internally dubbed Jayhawk, would equip AR glasses with microphones, speakers, a camera and a full-color display in one eye. Amazon is reportedly using Chinese company Meta-Bounds for the AR tech.

Universal Executive Regrets Most Hilarious, Perfect Part of ‘Fast and Furious’ Franchise

Before the abysmal mess that was Fast X, the ninth Fast and Furious film, F9, did the most insane thing imaginable. After literal years and years of joking about it, F9 actually sent characters to space. It was Ludacris (literally and figuratively), it was hilarious, and it was wonderful. But now, looking back, one of Universal Studios’ most powerful executives regrets it. “I’m sorry that we sent them into space,” Donna Langley, the Chief Content Officer for NBCUniversal Studio Group, said rece

Elon Musk Says Starlink Could Replace Your Cellphone Carrier

On Wednesday, just one day after SpaceX acquired $17 billion of wireless spectrum from telecommunications company EchoStar, Elon Musk made some typically bold claims for how he would put it to use. The second-richest person in the world described a vision where Starlink could be your one-stop-shop for connectivity, whether at home or when you’re away from your Wi-Fi. On the All-In podcast, Musk said Starlink could eventually combine its home internet service with mobile. But he was careful to n
