I Was Right Yet Again: iOS 26 Is Coming Monday, Sept. 15

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it said at the time it would release the update to the general public this fall. So I looked at past Apple events in September and earlier iOS releases to predict when the company would release iOS 26. And I was right. Apple announced online that iOS 26 will be released as a free update on Monday, Sept. 15. That means everyone has less than a week until iPhones can get new features like a Liquid Glass design, call screen

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.

No Man's Sky Players Are Competing to Create the Goofiest Spaceships Imaginable

Procedurally-generated open exploration game No Man's Sky recently got one of its biggest updates ever, a whopping nine years after it was first launched, allowing players to customize their own spaceships to a baffling level of detail — and the resulting creativity is truly out of this world. The "Voyagers" update, which rolled out late last month, adds the ability to decorate enormous "Corvette"-class ships to an unprecedented — and sometimes hilarious — degree. The update proved to be incre

Expect the iPhone 17 event to avoid Apple Intelligence promises

It’s finally the day of the Apple event, and everyone is eagerly awaiting the official launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. 9to5Mac readers are mostly power users, so it’s no surprise that the thing you’re most looking forward to is the unveiling of the iPhone 17 Pro Max – though there is also substantial interest in the all-new iPhone 17 Air.

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.

15 Foods Hiding in Your Fridge That Could Cause Food Poisoning

The US government estimates that there are 48 million cases of foodborne illness each year. That's about one in six Americans dealing with symptoms such as upset stomach, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. According to data collected from personal injury law firm Wagner Reese, certain foods in the fridge are more likely to cause foodborne illness than others. As of April 2025, Wagner Reese analyzed Google search volume and TikTok trend growth for phrases like "can [food] make you sick" and "how lon

Snap breaks into ‘startup squads’ as ad revenue stalls

In Brief Snap is breaking itself apart and rebuilding from within. In a new annual company letter, CEO Evan Spiegel just announced the company is restructuring around small “startup squads” of 10 to 15 people to better compete against larger competitors.

It's now just a few hours away: At 1PM ET on Tuesday, Apple is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line.

But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on YouTube from Cupert

YouTube views are down (don't panic)

Many YouTube content creators, myself included, noticed something in early to mid-August: views were down.

But this was substantial. I had 4 10/10 videos in a row, which is unprecedented. I mean, my content could just be terrible all the sudden, and I've lost all but my core audie
