Prongs rock

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Here’s a hot take: gaming handhelds are better with prongs. How do I know? I hold a lot of handhelds (and gamepads) here at The Verge, but Microsoft and Asus’s upcoming Xbox Ally X might take the cake for the most comfortable to hold. And that handheld

Family Baffled By Waymo Robotaxis Constantly Hanging Out in Front of Their House

Waymo robotaxis are making their way to more American cities, but they're not always winning the hearts and minds of the people who live there. The autonomous cars have been spotted blundering the wrong way down a street and causing traffic jams, and residents have quickly grown fed up with their obnoxious back-up noise. They're also, apparently, haunting random locations like a conspicuous stalker. Just ask one Los Angeles couple, Lisa Delgin and Zach Tucker, who claim that ever since a Waymo

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

The Wonderboom 4’s compact design — which is roughly the size of a softball — makes it easy to bring anywhere, whether you’re lounging by the p

We found stuff AI is pretty good at

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. Tech companies keep telling everyone that this or that AI feature is going to change everything. But when you press them for examples, real, concrete examples of how those AI tools should be used, the answers tend to be lackluster. Sometimes AI tools feel so open-ended, it’s hard to know where to start or what the best way to use them

Doctors Horrified After Google's Healthcare AI Makes Up a Body Part That Does Not Exist in Humans

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Health practitioners are becoming increasingly uneasy about the medical community making widespread use of error-prone generative AI tools. The proliferation of the tech has repeatedly been hampered by rampant "hallucinations," a euphemistic term for the bots' made-up facts and convincingly-told lies. One glaring error proved so persuasive that it took over a year to be caught. In their May 2024 research paper introducing a healthcare AI model, dubbed Me

Welcome to Regulator

You’ll often see tech policy reporting described as the intersection of technology and politics, and for years, that was a pretty accurate description: Silicon Valley existed independent of Washington politics, and every so often, they’d cross paths, discuss some regulatory concern, write a check, shake hands, and then go their separate ways. This is no longer the case. Tech and politics have violently crashed into each other, and the leaders from both sides are locked in an existential fight t

Introducing Regulator and The Stepback, our new subscriber-exclusive newsletters

Today, I’m excited to announce three newsletter offerings, exclusive to Verge subscribers, that will continue to deliver must-read stories about tech and beyond. First, we’re introducing Regulator by Tina Nguyen. Regulator is focused on the battles between Big Tech and Big Government — from the juicy palace intrigue to the devastating consequences of their political game

What’s on your desk, Cameron Faulkner?

Cameron Faulkner describes himself as “a New York City transplant who’s lived in Brooklyn since 2012.” He continues, “When I’m not at work, I try to get as far away from my computer as I can (I don’t always succeed), spending time with my wife, 15-month-old son, and two cats. I enjoy walking around, playing video games, drinking coffee, and keeping myself busy with a never-ending list of tasks.” He is currently commerce editor at The Verge, where he helps other commerce writers find good deals,

The biggest changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 26

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Apple recently announced iOS 26, the next major software update for iPhones, and it’s packed with a whole bunch of new features. The biggest change is a new design, but there are lots of smaller improvements and additions as well that could make a difference in how you use your iPhone every day. If you want to kick the tires before the update’s wider release this fall, you ca

A-lister antics and Schedule A shenanigans

is features writer with five years of experience covering the companies that shape technology and the people who use their tools. Summer blockbusters like the new Superman and Jurassic World movies may be doing great at the box office, but promoting them is more complicated than ever. The old celebrity playbook of magazine profiles, TV chat shows, and press junkets isn’t enough in an era of audience fragmentation. Publicists now have to strategize which podcasts to make time for, and whether th

The Verge Launches New Site Features Aimed at Deepening Audience Engagement and Announces New Editorial Newsletters

NEW YORK, NY (July 22, 2025) – The Verge today launched a suite of homepage and editorial product updates aimed at deepening its direct relationship with readers.

Anker Nebula X1 review: a terrific home theater that goes anywhere

is a deputy editor and Verge co-founder with a passion for human-centric cities, e-bikes, and life as a digital nomad. He’s been a tech journalist for 20 years. I seldom sleep in the same place for more than a couple of weeks at a time, so I’m a big fan of portable all-in-one projectors. They’re small and set up quickly, making them ideal for vanlife, gaming parties, outdoor movie nights, or an evening in on the couch — but they usually sacrifice quality for convenience. Anker’s new Nebula X1 p

Inside the AI startup frenzy: ‘Everyone’s pivoting, then pivoting again’

Welcome to Decoder! I’m Alex Heath, Deputy Editor at The Verge and author of the Command Line newsletter. This is the first in a series of Thursday Decoder episodes that I’ll be hosting while Nilay is out on parental leave. I’ve been covering AI a lot at The Verge, and I’m excited to start sharing some of the conversations I regularly have with leaders in the space here. The plan is for each episode to focus on a specific theme, from the rise of deepfakes to how AI is reimagining the browser.

A quest for the best headphone mics

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. We’ve all had it happen. You slip on a trusty pair of headphones, hop on a call, and your friends, family, and coworkers say, “What?!” Cue your own personal reenactment of the classic “Can you hear me now?” commercials from Verizon. On this episode of The Vergecast, we kick off Hot Girl Vergecast Summer with a classic Vergecast segme

Nothing’s ‘first true flagship’ phone plays it a little safe

“The Glyph interface is not a gimmick,” Nothing founder and CEO Carl Pei told the press as he revealed the Nothing Phone 3 for the first time, shortly before announcing that its new iteration lets you play Spin the Bottle on the back of the phone. It’s mixed messaging, but in Nothing’s defense, you couldn’t accuse them of making that mistake elsewhere. The Phone 3, we’re told, is Nothing’s “first true flagship phone,” a point the company is keen to hammer home: flagship chip, flagship camera, f

Nothing’s over-ear headphones are all about the buttons

Nothing has launched its first pair of over-ear headphones, imaginatively named the Headphone 1. At $299, these are priced to compete with flagship fare, distinguished primarily by their distinctive Nothing design language — right down to the buttons. While the boxy outline calls to mind Apple’s AirPods Max, the semi-transparent detailing on the outside of each earcup is all Nothing. So are the buttons, all differently shaped, with some you press, some you flick, and some you toggle. They’re me

Nothing Headphone 1 review: head-turning

is an audio and video creator at The Verge since 2015. He has produced shows like The Vergecast, Decoder with Nilay Patel, Why’d You Push That Button, and a variety of Verge video. Nothing’s first pair of over-the-ear headphones has arrived, bearing the company’s signature retro-transparent design that it introduced with the Phone 1. But until now, that design has mostly been in your pocket or peeking out of your ears. With the $299 Nothing Headphone 1, you have to commit to having that aesthet

DJI ‘remains committed to the US market’ as shelves go bare of drones

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. Is DJI exiting the US drone market? The company says no — but it would not explain to The Verge what has changed such that it can’t even keep a single drone on shelves. When I walked into my local Best Buy store today, June 24th, there were zero DJI drones available to purchase. There wasn’t even an empty spot for each drone to go. The ent

Apple Wallet notifications for an F1 movie promotion ticked off iPhone owners

is an editor covering deals and commerce. He joined in 2018, and served as commerce editor at Polygon until May 2025. Apple poured some good money into making F1 – a Formula 1 racing movie starring Brad Pitt – and it wants its customers to know that. To that end, many people, including some Verge staffers, noticed an unusual Apple Wallet notification this morning that’s both an advertisement and promotion for the film. The notification prompts users to save on movie tickets via Fandango with a

Life with the Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 is great. In many ways, it’s exactly what we hoped for: a Switch, only better. And yet there’s something… underwhelming about it. Maybe it’s unfair, but we’ve come to expect Nintendo to consistently amaze us with either how its consoles work or the games you can play with them. In this case, it still feels like a Switch. Only better. And not universally better, either. On this episode of The Vergecast, now that a number of folks on our team have spent some real time with t

Amazon Prime Day stretches to four days of deals this year

is an editor covering deals and commerce. He joined in 2018, and served as commerce editor at Polygon until May 2025.

It starts Tuesday, July 8th, at 3AM Eastern and lasts through Friday, July 11th, at the same time. And, instead of being a two-day event that’s exclusive to Prime subscribers, it’s happening for four days in 2025. We will, of course, be reporti
