On Friday, it broke $4,000 for the first time since December. The moves took place alongside a rise in U.S. equity futures, as investors looked ahead to a batch of key inflation re

The Download: a quantum radar, and chipmakers’ deal with the US government

Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of atoms in a glass cell to detect reflected radio waves. The radar is a type of quantum sensor, an emerging technology that uses the quantum-mechanical properties of objects as measurement devices. It’s still a prototype, but its intended use is to image buried objects in situations such as constructing underground utilities, drilling wells for natural gas, and excavating archaeological sit

Apple applies for patent on that ‘single slab of glass’ iPhone

iOS 26 is giving us a glass-like UI, but Apple’s long-term vision for the iPhone hardware is what former design chief Jony Ive referred to as a “single slab of glass.” A new Apple patent application appears to refer to work on this, describing a “six-sided glass enclosure” … An all-glass iPhone Ive may be long gone from his role at Apple, but the company is believed to be still working toward his vision of a device which would look like a single slab of glass. The company’s first major step

Running macOS on an iPad? Jailbreak project makes progress

Apple may not be merging macOS and iPadOS, but the two version 26 operating systems share a lot of similarities. Still, the quest to actually port the Mac operating system to the iPad continues. As Steve Troughton-Smith suggests Mastodon, “hackintosh” may soon refer to an iPad running macOS and not a homegrown Mac clone. “Apple may not bring macOS to iPad, but it looks like we’re getting to a point where people can hackintosh it together on a jailbroken device anyway,” he writes. In a series

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are back on sale for $169

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.

FTC: Older adults lost record $700 million to scammers in 2024

Americans aged 60 and older lost a staggering $700 million to online scams in 2024, marking a sharp rise in fraud targeting seniors, according to the Federal Trade Commission. This figure, presented in the agency's latest Consumer Protection Data Spotlight, represents an increase over all three categories of loss compared to previous years. Most notably, the amount of losses for those who lost over $100k recorded an eightfold jump compared to 2020. Below is an analysis of the amounts: Losses

'Chairmen' of $100 million scam operation extradited to US

The U.S. Department of Justice charged four Ghanaian nationals for their roles in a massive fraud ring linked to the theft of over $100 million in romance scams and business email compromise attacks. The defendants were allegedly high-ranking members of a major international fraud ring based in Ghana that targeted companies and individuals across the United States between 2016 and May 2023.

Amazon Drone Beehive Concept (2019)

Transport is one of the main pillars of modern economies comprising a spectrum of individual systems and their interconnections that are intended to cover the mobility demand of people and goods. Transport systems include an extensive series of physical and organisational elements and are being characterised by an overall intrinsic complexity. These elements can be influencing each other directly and/or indirectly, linearly or nonlinearly, having also potential feedback cycles [1]. In particular

As CNET's resident AI creative software reviewer, I knew I had to try out its V1 video model. I was most curious to see if the creative, detailed quality I had come to enjo

Impress Me, Apple. Make This One Unexpected Change With the iPhone 17

We're now less than a month away from Apple unveiling the iPhone 17, if rumors are to be believed. I always look forward to this highlight of the tech calendar, especially since I've been writing about and primarily using an iPhone for well over a decade. When it comes to the 2025 iPhone, there's one thing I'd love to see Apple prioritize -- and it might not be what you expect. It's not a cool new design, a bigger battery or a more impressive camera. It's definitely not advanced AI capabilities

Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said artificial general intelligence, or "AGI," is losing its relevance as a term as rapid advances in the space make it harder to define the concept. AGI refers to the concept of a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. For years, OpenAI has been working to research and develop AGI that is safe and benefits all humanity. "I think it's not a super useful term," Altman told CNBC's "Squawk Box" last week, when asked whether

This quantum radar could image buried objects

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We’re seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it loo

Apple is preparing a Siri upgrade that could make Gemini users really jealous

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri. The updated Siri is likely to be able to control a variety of third-party apps, performing very specific actions inside those apps. The update is expected to roll out in Spring next year with the iOS 26.4 update. Back in 2024, Apple promised a significant Siri upgrade that would understand voice commands better, have a more intuitive model running underneath, and be “deeply integrated” into the sys

This $10 watch band made my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic so much better

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’ve been wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks (my review is coming soon), and my experience with the smartwatch has been great so far. The Watch 8 Classic looks fantastic, it’s loaded to the brim with health features, and the rotating bezel is oh-so-good. However, throughout the majority of my time wearing the smartwatch, I haven’t been using the leather watch band that came included in the box. Instead, I’ve been wearing the Ga
