The Apple iPhone 17 'Awe dropping' event happens next week: Here's what to expect on September 9

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-16 20:21:26

We're now less than week away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreame

3D QR Codes Erik Demaine & Martin Demaine, 2025 In this exhibit, we're experimenting with the limits of QR (Quick Response) codes, in particular new ways to construct QR codes from physical material. Most of our QR codes are built from several layers of material (wood, paper, or acrylic), where each layer is a single color. Building in this way has an interesting constraint: each layer must be a connected piece of material. We use a greedy algorithm to find the most white pixels that can appea

Initially tested in Australia and New Zealand last year, this transfer option has now been rolled out to the US, UK, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and several other countries. It

If you’re a Strava user, you know this has been a long time coming. The company has completely redesigned its Apple Watch app, in an update that introduces Live Segments. Here’s how it works. Every time Tim Cook discusses the Apple Watch during Apple’s quarterly earnings conference call, he says something like, “over half of Apple Watch sales were to new customers,” which is Apple’s way of saying that its user base keeps growing.

Apple's AI search engine could be driven by Google and help revive Siri, report says

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Apple plans to launch an AI search engine, reportedly. The AI search experience would power the Siri voice assistant. The expected launch is in the spring as part of the Siri overhaul. Though Apple offers useful AI features through its Apple Intelligence suite, discussion of the company's AI efforts usually returns to one main sticking point: the delay of a revamped Siri.

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-17 04:10:12

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.

TED leader’s $300M ‘valley of death’ fund might be just what later-stage climate tech needs

Like many startups, climate tech companies often face a “valley of death” that lies between early stage funding and growth capital that helps proven technologies reach commercial scale. But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider. Financing a first-of-a-kind power plant or factory can cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, a new fund hopes to bridge this
