Google won’t be showing the Pixel 10 to Superfans this month, after all

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google invited Pixel Superfans to apply for a chance to experience “pre-release Pixel devices” at a June 27 event. The company is now telling them that due to “unforeseen circumstances” it’s planning a September 4 event. It’s unclear if release plans have been affected any, but the last leak we’ve seen points to a mid-August launch. Google’s Pixel 10 smartphones are on their way, and other than feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries in genera

Bloomberg: Apple now targeting iOS 26.4 for long-delayed Siri AI upgrade

According to the report, Apple plans to ship the upgraded Siri experience as part of iOS 26.4, an update typically released in March. The revamped Siri is slated to integrate more deeply with user data and on-screen content, allowing i

Emulating an iPhone in QEMU (Part 2)

What's the plan? At the end of our previous blog post, we got PreBoard to show its UI. But we had no idea if getting SpringBoard to work would even be possible, since we didn’t have SEP emulation. Still, we wanted to see how far we could get without it. Before SpringBoard could show anything, we had plenty of issues to fix. Although the backboardd and SpringBoard processes were starting and stable, they were stuck in different places. Our strategy was to go through system logs, find suspiciou

Angry Birds Is Coming to Apple Arcade in July

Apple Arcade is filled with familiar and classic games, alongside exclusive titles, that you can play for $7 per month (£7, AU$10). You can find many of these games in the App Store, but they may have paywalls and ads t

Isaacman’s bold plan for NASA: Nuclear ships, seven-crew Dragons, accelerated Artemis

Nearly two weeks have passed since Jared Isaacman received a fateful, brief phone call from two officials in President Trump's Office of Personnel Management. In those few seconds, the trajectory of his life over the next three and a half years changed dramatically. The president, the callers said, wanted to go in a different direction for NASA's administrator. At the time, Isaacman was within days of a final vote on the floor of the US Senate and assured of bipartisan support. He had run the g

After a series of tumors, woman’s odd-looking tongue explains everything

Breast cancer. Colon cancer. An enlarged thyroid gland. A family history of tumors and cancers as well. It wasn't until the woman developed an annoying case of dry mouth that doctors put it all together. By then, she was in her 60s. According to a new case study in JAMA Dermatology, the woman presented to a dermatology clinic in Spain after three months of oral unpleasantness. They noted the cancers in her medical history. When she opened wide, doctors immediately saw the problem: Her tongue wa

Apple’s upgraded Siri might not arrive until next spring

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Apple is aiming to launch the upgraded Siri that it originally previewed at WWDC 2024 in spring 2026 with iOS 26.4, according to Bloomberg. At WWDC last year, Apple showed off how Siri would be able to do things like understand your personal context or take actions based on what’s on your screen. But in March, Apple delayed these features, saying in a statement that “it’s goi

Chime pops 37% in Nasdaq debut after pricing IPO above expected range

CEO of Chime, Chris Britt, center right, rings the opening bell during the company's initial public offering at the Nasdaq MarketSite on June 12, 2025 in New York City.

Google warns Wear OS users to install their favorite legacy watch faces before 2026

After Google introduced Watch Face Format (WFF) in 2023, WFF and non-WFF watch faces coexisted. This only lasted for a short time, however, as Google eventually made WFF mandatory. Since then, the company has been gradually phasing out support for non-WFF watch faces on Wear OS . Google has now announced the next step it will take to get to full adoption of WFF. If you’re a Wear OS user who cares about custom watch faces, then you may know that support for AndroidX and Wearable Support Library

Android’s ongoing call interface is getting way more useful in QPR1 Beta 2

iOS 26 makes Apple Music Replay fully native inside the app

Apple Music benefits from a variety of big and small updates in iOS 26, including one that wasn’t included in the WWDC keynote or press materials: Apple Music Replay is now a fully native in-app experience. Apple Music Replay no longer lives in web view with iOS 26 The popular year-end Spotify Wrapped feature has its Apple Music equivalent in Replay.

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S

iPadOS 26 is perfect for the larger iPad model that’s coming

iPadOS 26 is a huge update for iPad users, with the biggest productivity changes ever introduced on the platform. While its new windowing system should be great for existing iPads, it also looks like a perfect fit for the larger iPad model Apple has on the way. ‘iPad Fold’ with 18.8-inch screen will pair perfectly with iPadOS 26’s upgrades Apple launched the first iPad Pro in 2015 with what then seemed like a giant 12.9-inch display. But ever since then, the largest iPad has stayed capped at 1

Mixtape turned me back into a Millennial teenage dirtbag

Mixtape is the answer to the question, “What if the movie High Fidelity was a video game?” It’s not a perfect analogy, but it’s pretty damn close, and either way it’s a sign that Mixtape is going to be a fabulous slice of late-1990s, early-2000s nostalgia, complete with a banging soundtrack. You can hear it in the trailers — Mixtape absolutely nails the classic Moviefone tone, and it seems that this vibe extends to the full game. I played roughly 30 minutes of Mixtape at Summer Game Fest 2025,

Schumer Interrupts Crypto Debate to Announce Sen. Padilla Was Roughed Up by Federal Thugs in California

Sen. Alex Padilla, the Democratic senator from California, was forcibly removed from a press conference held by the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, on Thursday that was focused on ICE’s campaign of terror against the people of Los Angeles. Padilla was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. And it put a real damper on the current debate about the controversial cryptocurrency bill that Chuck Schumer is currently trying to get passed in the Senate. Two videos of Padilla’s arrest at the

Got a Nintendo Switch 2? Here's the Right Way to Move Your Games and Data

A system transfer from the original Switch to the Switch 2 is supposed to be easy, and it is. However, there are a few tricks in the process that some Switch 2 owners have tripped over since buying the new portable console. If you have both an original Switch and a Switch 2, Nintendo added a System Transfer tool that moves over your profiles, purchased games, save data and other settings. This option shows up when starting up the Switch 2 for the first time, but if certain instructions aren't f

Coming to Apple OSes: A seamless, secure way to import and export passkeys

Apple this week provided a glimpse into a feature that solves one of the biggest drawbacks of passkeys, the industry-wide standard for website and app authentication that isn't susceptible to credential phishing and other attacks targeting passwords. The import/export feature, which Apple demonstrated at this week’s WWDC 25, will be available in the next major releases of iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. It aims to solve one of the biggest shortcomings of passkeys as they have existed to date.

How Steve Jobs Wrote the Greatest Commencement Speech Ever

In early June 2005, Steve Jobs emailed his friend Michael Hawley a draft of a speech he had agreed to deliver to Stanford University’s graduating class in a few days. “It’s embarrassing,” he wrote. “I'm just not good at this sort of speech. I never do it. I'll send you something, but please don't puke.” The notes that he sent contained the bones of what would become one of the most famous commencement addresses of all time. It has been viewed over 120 million times and is quoted to this day. Pr

Chasing rainbows

Living with colorblindness feels like you’re constantly being pranked by the world in subtle, irritating ways. The other day, I was booking a flight on Kayak, trying to figure out which dates are the cheapest by looking at their low fare calendar. See any issues? Oh, sorry — that’s what it looks like to me. You probably see it more like this. I opened up Chrome Dev Tools, changed the cheap fare colors to something I could actually see, and eventually booked my flight. A few weeks later, I’m o

Meta teams with XGS Energy to build a 150 MW geothermal power plant

Meta is the latest tech company to warm to geothermal energy, announcing on Thursday a deal with startup XGS Energy to develop a 150 megawatt geothermal power plant in New Mexico. XGS Energy has yet to say where it’ll be building the power plant, and Meta wouldn’t disclose specifics about the deal other than to say it’s not yet a contract to purchase power, but rather an agreement “to advance geothermal energy development” in the state, a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch. Recently, tech compa
