Apple is rolling out a watchOS 26.0.1 build that appears to be specific to the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Here’s what’s new. What’s new with watchOS 26.0.1?

Tim Cook Swears Tariffs Aren’t to Blame for iPhone 17 Pro Price Hike

Apple CEO Tim Cook wants everyone—especially Donald Trump—to know that the company’s new iPhone Pro price hike has nothing to do with tariffs. “There’s no increase for tariffs in the prices to be totally clear,” Cook told CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday, the launch day for Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup. Earlier this month, Apple announced it would be raising the starting price for its most advanced iPhone by $100. For the first time since the iPhone X debuted in 2017, Apple’s entry-level Pro model star

Bad Luck for Zuckerberg: Why Meta Connect's Live Demos Flopped

This week's Meta Connect smart glasses event was, let's admit it, a little cringeworthy. Or at least I cringed when two of Meta's live demos epically failed. (A third live demo took some time but eventually worked.) During the event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg blamed it on the Wi-Fi connection. Now we know what actually happened. Meta chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth addressed each of the live demos in an Instagram AMA (ask me anything) session on Thursday. Let's start with the first demo fai

Many of us remain glued to the story of late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension by ABC over controversial comments included in his Sept. 15 monologue.

If you're looking to take a break from doomscrolling, it was a huge week for tech news. The new iPhones are on sale today; Meta unveiled its latest VR glasses (at

Bonkers CDC vaccine meeting ends with vote to keep COVID shot access

A two-day federal vaccine advisory meeting crammed with chaos, confusion, inept debate, bizarre comments, and a hot mic catching someone saying "you're an idiot," ended with an unexpected twist: The advisors unanimously voted—possibly unintentionally—to maintain broad access to COVID-19 vaccines. In the 12–0 vote, the committee of advisors selected by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adopted a recommendation for adults 65 and older and people aged 6 months to 64 years to get a COVID-

RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Panel Votes Down Its Own Proposal to Require Prescriptions for Covid-19 Shots

On the second day of a pivotal vaccine meeting that was at times heated, confusing, and chaotic, a group of federal advisers chosen by Health and Human Services secretary and longtime anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted against requiring a prescription to receive a Covid-19 vaccination. The vote took place after hours of discussion, in which several advisers sowed doubts about the Covid-19 vaccines and went on tangents about their safety and efficacy—both of which have been well-e

Woman Says She's Married to AI Version of Luigi Mangione

"He fights my battles for me." A legal hearing this week for Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin of a health insurance CEO, attracted a motley crowd to a New York City courthouse: people dressed up as Super Mario characters in reference to another famous Luigi, protesters, supporters, and amused gawkers. Notable among them was one lady, clad in pink, who eagerly told reporters that she's married to an AI version of Mangione and that together with the bot, she's already picked out names for th

FBI warns of cybercriminals using fake FBI crime reporting portals

The FBI warned today that cybercriminals are impersonating its Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) website in what the law enforcement agency described as "possible malicious activity." Although it didn't share any examples and didn't point to specific attacks, the FBI said that such spoofed websites could be used by attackers in financial scams or to steal the visitors' personal information. "Threat actors create spoofed websites often by slightly altering characteristics of legitimate webs

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans a brain speech trial in October

Neuralink plans to begin another US clinical trial in October, using the implant to translate thoughts into text. The study will be held through an FDA investigational device exemption. "If you're imagining saying something, we would be able to pick that up," Neuralink president DJ Seo said this week. The idea is to help people with speech impairments communicate through thought. Neuralink is among the companies testing implants that help patients control a computer with their minds. That can i

Microsoft Is Torpedoing Xbox With Yet Another Price Hike

Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles… again. The previous price hike shifted expectations for both the Xbox Series S and Series X. The new pricing structure demands so much money from consumer wallets it seems nobody in their right mind would buy an Xbox in this day and age. The new pricing structure begins Oct. 3. In a post to its support page, Microsoft blamed today’s “macroeconomic environment,” which is a longer way to say “Trump tariffs.” All consoles are demanding at least $50 mor

James Bond Wannabes: The UK's Spy Office Says Learn to Use a VPN

Like your martinis shaken, not stirred? If you have dreams of joining James Bond in the British foreign intelligence service, MI6, you'd better know how to use a virtual private network.

If you want to use it, make sure you're familiar with VPNs. Silent Courier marks MI6's first attempt to use the dark web for recruitment. The government statemen

Apple boosts iPhone 17 production targets following strong pre-order demand

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. From the report: “Earlier this week, Apple asked Luxshare Precision, one of the two main iPhone assemblers in China—in addition to Foxconn—to raise daily produc

'Superman' Has Landed on Streaming. Here's How to Watch

Superman is now streaming. James Gunn's comic book blockbuster, which is also the first big-screen release since DC Studios rebranded, gives the titular Kryptonian a new coat of paint. And honestly, I can't wait to watch it again. Gunn wrote and directed the movie -- which is an achievement in and of itself when you consider that he was also writing every episode of Peacemaker season 2 -- and took inspiration mostly from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's celebrated All-Star Superman comic. It'

In new level of stupid, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine advisors axe MMRV recommendation

The panel of vaccine advisors hand-selected by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted on Thursday to change the federal vaccine recommendations for children, removing safe, well-established vaccine doses from current schedules and realizing Kennedy's anti-vaccine agenda to erode federal vaccine policy and sow distrust. Specifically, the panel—the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)—voted to remove the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's previous recommendatio

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

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’m a fan of the Apple TV 4K and HomePod, but outside of those two products, Apple has larg
