HomeKit Weekly: SwitchBot Hub 3 shows the kind of device Apple should build

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-09-19 18:00:00

I love being able to control my smart home from the Home app, Control Center (my most used right now), or by asking Siri via a HomePod, but sometimes you just can’t beat a physical product for things. For my Matter enabled shades, I use the remote as much as I control them with the Home app. There are moments when pressing a button or turning a dial is easier than pulling out your iPhone. That’s exactly why the SwitchBot Hub 3 is an awesome product, and it’s something I want Apple to copy with t

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-19 18:59:44

As it does in most years, Apple is taking a cue from the pre-order week to align its production orders with actual iPhone demand across the lineup. Here are the details. As reported by The Information, Apple is increasing iPhone 17 production, following a strong week of pre-orders in which the device may have done better than expected.

Despite congressional threat, National Academies releases new climate report

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-19 18:44:00

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its earlier work, one of those focused on the science: The EPA's original decision was over 15 years old, and it claimed our understanding of climate change had itself changed since then.

Your Google TV home screen might finally be about to get a long-overdue refresh

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 22:03:35

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google TV is testing a refreshed home screen layout with new navigation bubbles. The redesign renames “For You” as “Home” and adds more shortcuts to the profile menu. Only a small number of devices seem to have the update so far. Google TV hasn’t been having the best luck in the crowded smart TV market recently.

Apple’s new Home products just got even more appealing thanks to a competitor

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-19 22:25:21

Apple is about to kick off what’s arguably its first serious push into smart home products, starting with two launches very soon but ramping up in 2026. And Samsung just provided users another great reason to wait for Apple’s products. Apple rumored to be expanding Home product offerings Apple’s efforts in the smart home space have seemed, for a long time, more like a hobby than a serious product line.

I recognize that mine isn’t the latest and greatest, but it’s only four years old — an iPhone 13 mini — and the previous iOS ran perfectly: snappy and practical. I hope Apple can (literally) smooth things out.

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes are not tied to tariffs

Apple CEO Tim Cook said price hikes on the newest iPhone models aren't tied to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans. "There's no increase for tariffs in the prices to be totally clear," Cook told CNBC's Jim Cramer from Apple's Fifth Avenue store location in New York City, as the latest iPhone model launched in stores worldwide.

The new iPhone 17 Pro aluminum body may be more prone to scuffs and scratches

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-20 09:58:54

It’s iPhone 17 release day, and that means the internet is ready to start the next drama about the redesigned phones. One early concern is about the superficial durability of the iPhone 17 Pro aluminum chassis, especially on the darker color Deep Blue model. If this worries you, it’s a good time to buy a case. Because anodized aluminum still has the raw silver metal color underneath, any light nicks or scratches are much more visible to the eye, compared to similar wear and tear to the iPhone 1
