Mark Zuckerberg’s war chest is Apple’s newest hurdle in the AI race

Meta’s renewed push into AI is throwing the entire market off-balance, and Apple is particularly exposed. With morale arguably at an all-time low inside Cupertino’s AI teams, Zuckerberg’s multimillion-dollar check-cutting spree may have already pulled at least one top researcher out of Apple Park. And there may be more to come. What multimillion-dollar check-cutting spree? According to recent reports, Meta has offered massive pay packages to lure top AI researchers from rivals. And while Open

New ‘MacBook’ rumor sounds like Apple’s taking the iPad approach

Apple is rumored to be making a new ‘MacBook’ device for launch later this year or in early 2026.

Rumored ’MacBook’ will be cheaper, use iPhone chip, more Apple tends to develop products with years-long timelines, and thanks to leaks, it’s rare for a product to entirely surprise. But yesterday a new rumor of a cheaper ‘MacBook’ suggests the device will launch

Apple claims former engineer shared Vision Pro secrets in new lawsuit

Apple is suing one of its former design engineers for allegedly stealing a trove of trade secrets that he then provided to his new employer, Snap.

For our full take on what to look for in a laptop, see our guide on choosing the right laptop. Your budget is the most important factor, as it determines what you can expect out of the device you're purchasing. But you should consider display size, chassis thickness, CPU, memory, storage, and port selection. While appropriate specs can vary wildly when you're considering laptops ranging from $200 to $800, there are a few hard lines I don't recommend crossing. For example, don't buy a laptop if

5 Best Food Dehydrators, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I’ve been food dehydrator-curious for longer than I can remember. I knew some fellow mushroom foragers had these mysterious and bulky-looking appliances, but I never looked into owning one until I tried to dry sliced sweet potatoes in my gas oven. Not only did using my stove at its lowest setting for hours produce indoor air pollution, but I was unable to set my gas stove below 170 degrees Fahrenheit. My efforts produced burnt versions of the dried sweet potato slices sold as my dog’s overpriced

Nothing's First Stab at Over-Ear Headphones Leaks. They Look Appropriately Odd

Nothing's first pair of over-ear headphones has apparently leaked, and it's nearly impossible to assume they could have been designed by any other company. The over-ear headphones look to have more personality than most popular options on the market, and, well, that's very on-brand for Nothing. The company is good at making statement pieces, and has done so with its phones since the beginning. Whether you like the retro-futuristic styling of its products or not is largely a personal preference,

The story centers on a struggling man named Ben Richards, played by Glen Powell, who is a contestant on a mega-popular TV game show where he’s hunted by trained k

Brazil’s antitrust watchdog says Apple must face penalties over NFC restrictions

Apple’s week is off to a rough start. First, Proton filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. Almost simultaneously, a judge in New Jersey rejected Apple’s attempt to dismiss a federal antitrust case. And on Monday night, things got a little worse: CADE, Brazil’s antitrust watchdog, formally recommended that Apple be sanctioned for restricting access to the iPhone’s NFC chip and forcing developers to use Apple Pay. In its ruling, CADE’s General Superintendence said Apple’s behavior creates “art

Addigy’s Prebuilt App Catalog is built to simplify managing macOS apps at scale

Most enterprise apps used on macOS don’t come from the Mac App Store, so IT teams are stuck managing them manually. That includes tracking down the latest versions, packaging them up for deployment, setting up the required permissions, and making sure they’re installed and updated properly across every device. It’s a tedious process that doesn’t scale well, and it introduces security risk when apps fall behind on security updates. Addigy aims to solve this by adding a new Prebuilt App Catalog, w

Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine. Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, sa

Apple Music lets you see your most played songs from the past decade now - here's where

Apple / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Apple is launching a new version of its annual Replay playlist called Replay All Time. Interestingly, instead of only tracking the tunes you've streamed most in the past calendar year, it goes all the way back to when you first subscribed. Also: iOS 26 just solved one of my biggest pain points with Apple Music So, if you've been an Apple Music user since the service first launched, you should see a consolidated view of your decade-long listening habits.

Google kills its Keep app on Apple Watch

The Google graveyard has claimed another victim: the company has killed the Apple Watch version of its Keep app. While the note-taking app is still available for iPhone and iPad, the 2.2025.26200 Google Keep App Store update released on Monday has removed watchOS support, bringing the total number of Google apps for Apple Watch back down to three. This sours some hope that Google would expand its watchOS app offerings after quietly rolling out a new native Google Calendar app for Apple Watch ye

xAI raises $10B in debt and equity

In Brief Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has raised $10 billion in debt and equity, Morgan Stanley confirmed on Monday. In a post on X, the financial giant said xAI had raised $5 billion in debt and another $5 billion in a separate strategic equity transaction. “The combination of debt and equity reduces the overall cost of capital and substantially expands pools of capital available to xAI. The proceeds will support xAI’s continued development of cutting-edge AI solutions, including one of the

Someone brought Flappy Bird back to Android, but there’s a good reason you shouldn’t download it

Joe Maring / Android Authority If, like me, you had an Android phone in the 2010s, you almost certainly played Flappy Bird. And all these years later, I still occasionally find myself itching to play a few rounds. Unfortunately, playing the original Flappy Bird in 2025 is all but impossible. But thanks to one developer, Flappy Bird is back. Recently, a new developer got the attention of the r/Android subreddit by announcing they had reverse-engineered the original Flappy Bird to run on a 64-bi

Here’s a first look at the Google Personal Safety app’s Expressive redesign (APK teardown)

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed plenty of visual changes coming to the Personal Safety app. These changes are in line with Google’s Material 3 Expressive design language and cover the emergency contacts menus. This redesign will likely be exclusive to Android 16 QPR1 for now. Google’s Personal Safety app is a one-stop shop for emergencies, allowing you to quickly get help, record video, and much more. Now, it looks like Google is bringing so

Apple reminds us it will soon end support for the old HomeKit architecture, with two options

Apple introduced new HomeKit architecture back in 2022, with the primary aim of making the smart home system more reliable. At the time, users could choose between upgrading or remaining on the original version of the platform. Fast–forward to March of this year, and 9to5Mac discovered code showing that the company was planning to drop support for the old version. That was subsequently confirmed by Apple, and a further reminder has now been found in the latest iOS 18.6 beta – with a little more

Apple Should Steal These Galaxy S25 Edge Features for a Thin iPhone

Tech companies are known for, shall we say, "borrowing" features from each other. Any time Apple or Samsung release a new phone or software update, you can be sure arguments over who did it first, or better, will ensue among hardcore fans. So, as Apple reportedly plans to debut a thinner version of the iPhone 17 this fall, it might look to competitors to see what resonates with consumers. And a few features on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge are on my wishlist for the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Reports

7 things every Linux beginner should know before downloading their first distro

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I can still remember the moment I switched from Windows to Linux. Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path." It would have made things easier. Instead, I took just dove right in, hoping I could figure it all out as I went. The good news: Linux today is n
