Who is the iPhone Air really for?

theverge.com David Pierce 2025-10-01 11:30:00

It’s very thin. And very light. And quite nice to look at. It also only has one camera, the battery life isn’t amazing, and it’s not like Apple saved some special new software feature for its fanciest phone. The new iPhone Air is just… the nice one. So where does that leave the Air? And where does that leave anyone trying to decide which iPhone to buy? On this episode of The Vergecast, we try and answer those questions.

No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’

theverge.com Kallie Plagge 2025-10-01 11:30:00

As first noted by Games Fray last week, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company were granted a US patent earlier this month involving summoning characters and making them battle. Headlines popped up with similarly vague language as concern spread on social media: That’s a thing in tons of games! Can they do that? Is that even allowed? Well, no, because that’s not exactly what they patented. And what they did patent might not stand up to any hypothetical challenges in court. The patent in question, US

Nvidia boss 'disappointed' by reported China chip ban Mr Huang is one of a number of tech bosses, including Microsoft's Satya Nadella , accompanying US President Donald trump on his state visit to the UK. "There are a lot of places we can't go to, and that's fine," he told reporters on Wednesday. Jensen Huang added he would be "patient" in response to the move from China's internet regulator.

The pricing late Tuesday landed at the mid-point of the expected range that the company gave last week, raising $800 million. StubHub said its shares are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday under the symbol "STUB." The San Francisco-based company was co-founded by Eric Baker in 2000, a

Alibaba shares rose on Wednesday after Chinese state media reported that the e-commerce giant secured a major customer for its artificial intelligence chips. China Unicom will deploy Alibaba's AI accelerators from its semiconductor unit called Pingtouge or T-Head, according to a report from China state broadcaster CCTV. Alibaba does not sell chips directly, but companies can effectively use the computing power based on those semiconductors by buying Alibaba cloud services. A person familiar wi

How to measure the returns on R&D spending

technologyreview.com David Rotman 2025-10-01 18:00:00

Sure, it’s easy to argue for the importance of spending on science by pointing out that many of today’s most useful technologies had their origins in government-funded R&D. The internet, CRISPR, GPS—the list goes on and on. All true. But this argument ignores all the technologies that received millions in government funding and haven’t gone anywhere—at least not yet. We still don’t have DNA computers or molecular electronics. Never mind the favorite examples cited by contrarian politicians of se

Lawnchair isn’t perfect, but it’s the best free Nova Launcher alternative right now

Andy Walker / Android Authority Nova Launcher users have been left high and dry following the devastating news that it will no longer receive updates. You can continue using the launcher until it becomes unusable — many of our readers plan to do just that, according to a recent survey — but it’s wise to have a backup plan in mind. Many developers are now courting disgruntled Nova users with their alternatives, but one app in particular really stands out for me: Lawnchair. With Nova’s future in

Trump Mobile’s earliest actual phones are neither made in America, nor cheap

TL;DR Trump Mobile is now selling refurbished iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S series devices. The prices of these devices appear to be marked up compared to the market value of refurbished phones. You’re better off buying these devices directly from Apple or renowned sellers like Amazon, even if you want to use Trump Mobile’s service.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro already sounds like a massive disappointment

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 18:30:21

Joe Maring / Android Authority Earlier this summer, Android Authority revealed a potentially huge shakeup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series. Instead of the expected Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup, we found evidence that Samsung’s 2026 Galaxy S family may consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The idea that Samsung would eliminate the Galaxy S26 and replace it with the Galaxy S26 Pro was the biggest takeaway in my book, as it would open a big opportunity for Samsung.

Alarms that fail to go off as scheduled should start displaying a slightly more helpful error notification.

This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s safe to say that the Chromecast with Google TV is a basic Android streaming device. It packs exactly one USB-C port used for powering the device and an HDMI tongue to output video — that’s it. This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality.

He expects that the OLED MacBook Pro, due to go into production in late 2026, will also feature a touch screen panel. This schedule was first predicted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman two years ago.
