iPhone 17 event live blog: on the ground at Apple’s keynote

We got a glimpse of some software at WWDC 2025, but today is all about the new hardware, baby. We’re anticipating the usual — the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro, new colors, camera upgrades, and quite possibly an iPhone 17 Air if the rumors pan out. The fall is usually when Apple also struts out a new Apple Watch, and based on previous upgrade timelines, it’s likely we’re due for an Ultra 3 and a revamped SE. The AirPods Pro are also due for a refresh. And, as always, it’s possible that there’s something

This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

Geothermal is too expensive, but Dig Energy’s impossibly small drill rig might fix that

On a farm near Manchester, New Hampshire, I was recently treated to a gusher of dirty water, not exactly the sort of thing that most startups will show a reporter. But for Dig Energy, the mud is a feature, not a bug, of its compact drilling rig. The startup, which has been operating in stealth for the last five years, developed the water-jet drilling rig in an effort to make geothermal heating and cooling so inexpensive that it will displace fossil fuel boilers and furnaces. The rig is central
