9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-23 20:41:22

A year after discontinuing the rather disastrous FineWoven iPhone case, Apple will reportedly take a second shot at an alternative premium to leather cases. The latest development is the alleged name, and a potentially new Apple accessory that may be sold separately. TechWoven is the new case material name, says leaker Majin Bu, because a callback to FineWoven invokes such fond memories. The leaker previously shared shots of the new material, which appears to have less velvet-like smoothness a

Today’s big Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 was… something, but if nothing else, it showed a Google that was confident in the product it was bringing to the table. That included Google making a lot of jokes directed straight at Apple while talking about the Pixel 10’s various updates and features.

And looking into the future, emissions from plastics are only set to grow. Another estimate, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, projects that emissions from plastics could swell from about 2 billion metric tons to 4 billion metric tons by 2060. This chart is what really strikes me and makes the conclusion of the plastic treaty talks such a disappointment.
