Five new Apple products are the biggest September 9 launch ‘maybes’

Apple’s big September 9 launch event is just days away. We’re expecting the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Series 11, and AirPods Pro 3. But beyond these near-locks, what other new products might Apple launch? Here are the five biggest wildcards that could make an appearance based on rumors. AirTag 2 September 9 launch: Likely Out of all the wildcard products in the pipeline, AirTag 2 seems especially likely to launch next week. Apple’s original AirTag launched in 2021, and we’ve

reMarkable announces Paper Pro Move: a palm-sized paper tablet that’s priced well

Today, reMarkable announced a much smaller version of the reMarkable Paper Pro, dubbed Paper Pro Move. It comes in at a much lower price tag, and still packs all of the beloved features of the larger reMarkable Paper Pro. It’s designed for work on the go, and can easily be slipped in a jacket pocket, bag, or purse. I reviewed the reMarkable Paper Pro earlier this year – and it was an excellent product. The only issue I took with it was the price. Not because I felt that it was overpriced, but b

They know where you are: Cybersecurity and the shadow world of geolocation

Tony Soprano knew. When one of his follow poker players in season 5, episode 4 of The Sopranos asks Tony how he likes his new Cadillac Escalade, the fictional mobster responds, “I love it. After I pulled out that global positioning [system].” OK, his language was a little more spicy than “system,” but the point is that Tony knew the dangers of being trackable. The rest of us might not have the same concerns Tony had about being findable just about anywhere, but we should all realize how danger

Disney to pay $10M to settle claims it collected kids’ data on YouTube

Disney will pay $10 million to settle claims by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that it mislabeled videos for children on YouTube, which allowed the collection of kids' personal information without their consent or notification to their parents. This occurred after the entertainment giant failed to tag kid-directed videos on YouTube as "Made for Kids" (MFK), a label that instructs the video streaming platform to block personal data collection and stop serving personalized ads on correctly des

How to clear your iPhone cache (and why you shouldn't wait to do it)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Clearing your iPhone cache effectively refreshes the system memory. It's recommended to do so regularly, but you especially should when your phone feels sluggish. There are steps you can take to clear cache from Safari, Chrome, and other browsers.

I used my iPhone 15 Pro Max for over a year: Here's how the battery life has changed

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways My iPhone is less than 18 months old. It now cannot make it through a day without a recharge. Nothing appears abnormal in the settings, so what gives? Rather than do my usual and upgrade my iPhone again last year with only about a year on the clock, I decided to try what most people end up having to do -- keep it going for a few years. Apple says that the battery is designed to retain

This is my new favorite way to run Windows apps on my Linux PC - how it works

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Winboat is a new technology to run Windows apps on Linux. The app is currently in beta, but shows real promise. If the developers can deliver, this will be a game changer. For the longest time, Wine was the only option for running Windows apps on Linux. Then came PlayOnLinux, Steam, Proton, and several others. Many of those tools are great, but they still require users to

Sharing a mutable reference between Rust and Python

As part of my ongoing project to reimplement Django’s templating language in Rust, I have been adding support for custom template tags. The simplest custom tag will look something like: # time_tags.py from datetime import datetime from django import template register = template . Library() @register.simple_tag def time (format_string): now = datetime . now() return now . strftime(format_string) # time_tags.py from datetime import datetime from django import template register = template .

Abstract Machine Models Also: what Rust got particularly right

Ever since 2010, I have studied the “meta” of software, by studying (and thinking about) the continued dialogue between programming language designers, computer designers, and programmers. The following constitutes a snapshot of my current thinking. Epistemological context During the period 2008-2012, I was requested to help design&build programming tools for a proposed new microprocessor architecture. The details of said architecture do not matter here; what is interesting is that folk in tha

Today, I learned that eels are fish

Let’s dive right in: for most of history, we didn’t really know where eels come from. Which is strange, because they’re everywhere—rivers, lakes, oceans. Even now, we only have the faintest sense of where they spawn or how. Their lives remain partly hidden, and that blank space has always invited stories. Aristotle thought they slithered out of mud, giving the primordial ooze its first big break. Another tale claimed they rose from sea foam, like a grotesque remix of Aphrodite’s birth. Japa

For all that's holy, can you just leverage the Web, please?

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

Acer’s New ‘Predator’ Gaming Laptop Is Business in the Front and Party in the Back

In the end, graphic-obsessed gamers only really care about maximizing frame rates. But that’s not all gaming laptops are good for. If you ignore the blinking RGB lights most gamer devices stuff into every crevice, they pack high-end CPUs and GPUs built for intensive graphics processing—handy for artists or AI developers. Whereas there are plenty of workstation laptops with high-end specs built for working stiffs, Acer said screw it and gave us a business-centric laptop that looks like a gamer’s

New York’s ‘Big Bang Machine’ Passes Critical First Test

sPHENIX is a next-generation particle detector that probes the mysterious, soupy form of the early universe. We know very little about the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. We have theories, most of which we’re still double- and triple-checking to see if they actually make scientific sense. The research process can seem tedious at times, but a newcomer from Long Island offers promising advances in our quest to understand how our universe came to be. In a recent paper for the Journal o

Jeffrey Wright Dishes on ‘The Batman,’ Wes Anderson, and Bond

Jeffrey Wright has been in the acting game since the ’90s, but the 2010s are really when Wright started to come into the limelight. From appearing in HBO dramas like Westworld and Boardwalk Empire to becoming a recurring Wes Anderson actor and starring in Spike Lee’s latest movie Highest 2 Lowest, Wright has become a very busy man, able to smoothly transition between genres and mediums. And in a new interview with Collider, Wright looked back on his diverse career, dishing on The Batman, workin

Great, Now I Need a Next-Gen, Cassette Tape-Playing Boombox

If you’re super nostalgic for the days of analog, modern Bluetooth devices probably aren’t cutting it. You can’t pick Bluetooth up; you can’t see it; you can’t… forget to rewind it and then have to wait to start your favorite album over again. Luckily, IFA 2025 is here, and the sky is the limit, which means we now have a modern boombox that can play honest-to-God cassettes while still leaving room for the convenience of wireless music streaming and hi-fi audio.

AI Can't Dance. But It Says These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but it's still a mystery makes a song stick in our minds. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a da

Why I love my Kenmore canister vacuum

Emma Roth is a news writer here at The Verge, “and for me,” she explains, “that means every day is different. During the four years I’ve been here, I’ve covered breaking news and written about basically everything in the realm of tech, whether it’s streaming price hikes, the latest in AI chatbots, privacy issues surrounding age verification, and a whole lot more.” Although she covers the latest tech news and products, it turns out that one of Emma’s favorite home appliances is a decades-old vac

TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 finalizes the Builders Stage agenda with top scaling voices

Alphabet stock pops 8% after Google avoids breakup in antitrust case

Alphabet shares rose 8% on Wednesday as investors viewed the result of Google's antitrust case as broadly favorable to the tech giant. The U.S. Department of Justice had proposed a sort of break-up of Google, which included divesting its Chrome browser, in an antitrust case that began in September 2023. While Google was found to hold an illegal monopoly in its core market of internet search last year, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled against the most severe consequences that were proposed
