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).

Netflix’s best movies deserve more time on the big screen

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-10 01:00:00

Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations — the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film’s premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won’t get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all.

Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype

Over the next several years, humanoid robots will change the nature of work. Or at least, that’s what humanoid robotics companies have been consistently promising, enabling them to raise hundreds of millions of dollars at valuations that run into the billions. Delivering on these promises will require a lot of robots. Agility Robotics expects to ship “hundreds” of its Digit robots in 2025 and has a factory in Oregon capable of building over 10,000 robots per year. Tesla is planning to produce 5

Study Directly Links Emissions from Fossil Fuel Producers to Devastating Heatwaves

A new study directly links hundreds of major heatwaves since 2000 to the emissions from fossil fuel and cement producers. Among its fundings, the researchers conclude that as many as a quarter of all heatwaves since the start of this century would have been “virtually impossible” without emissions from any of the world’s 14 largest fossil fuel and cement producers.

But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve.
