Review: SwitchBot Wallet Finder is an incredibly useful accessory to track your wallet with iPhone Find My

Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home.

Phew: Apple fixed the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe 26

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Apple’s first macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta introduced a big change to the Finder icon that I really didn’t like, but thankfully, the company has reversed it with the second beta released today. A big feature of macOS 26 is Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language, which it has applied across the operating system to give it a new look. But for some reason, for the initial ver

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2 changes Finder icon

Apple has restored decades of precedent and restored color balance to the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2. A controversial change in beta 1 was met with a healthy dose of criticism. The issue? Finder has a dark side and a light side. The dark side is located on the left half of the face while the light side makes up the right half.

Dear Android OEMs: Please don’t copy Apple’s minimalistic camera app

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Apple has just announced its iOS 26 software, and we’ve got a technically impressive Liquid Glass visual design here. However, one visual change that may have flown under the radar is the new camera app. And I really hope Android OEMs don’t copy this decision. Apple’s new camera app is an exercise in extreme minimalism, according to an official image seen below. The bottom of the viewfinder only contains preset camera zoom buttons, video and photo mode buttons
