As the tech world has standardized on USB-C, charging your devices has become much simpler. But it’s still not simple enough. Sure, most things plug into most other things, but now you have to worry about power and data throughput, making sure that everything works properly with everything else. That’s why we’ve spent years longing for what we call the God Cable: the one with fast enough everything to be the perfect charger for devices from phones to power tools. On this episode of The Vergecas

Meta has a well-earned reputation as the fastest follower in tech. Did your startup launch a cool feature that people like? Before you can say “Series B,” Meta will have built something eerily similar, embedded it into its vastly more popular platforms, and eaten your lunch. This probably isn’t how CEO Mark Zuckerberg would like to see his empire, but it’s genuinely an asset; few companies have done as good a job of identifying and jumping on trends. Sometimes, though, jumping on trends means s

Product design requires considering lots of different things. How things look; how they work; how people will understand how to use them. Here’s one probably not on a lot of designers’ lists, though: the insect enticement factor. Maybe that needs to change, because as The Verge’s Will Poor discovered, the way your gadgets are designed and made could have serious implications for what might decide to live inside them. On this episode of The Vergecast, Will tells us about his post-vacation Sonos

The AI recorder premise is an enticing one. You wear this tiny microphone around your neck, on your wrist, or pinned to your sweater, and it records everything. Your recorder can tell you all the things you promised to do and immediately forgot; remind you where you were when you talked about how much you liked the coffee; keep notes on all your meetings and conversations. Perfect memory is hard to argue with. But on this episode of The Vergecast, we wonder whether perfect memory is really such

The generally accepted way to launch your new car company is by building something fancy and expensive. Call it Founder’s Edition or name it after a precious metal, hope people pay for the privilege of exclusivity, and go from there. Slate Auto is doing… the opposite. The three-year-old company just announced its first vehicle, and it’s building a sub-$20,000 pickup with no stereo, no paint, and practically no options at all. It’s nothing like anything we’ve seen. And yet, at least according to

In most ways, Nintendo’s Switch 2 is exactly what we wanted: a Switch, only better. Nintendo has an occasional tendency to follow its best and most successful consoles with some of its weirdest ideas – Wii U, anyone? — but this time seems to have stayed the course in the best way. Still, this is Nintendo, so there are a few oddities in this console. On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk about all the best and worst things about the Switch so far. (I should say: one of the very worst things

Smartphones are great. They’re also… a lot. The idea of a more balanced device, one that gives you all of the most important and useful features of a smartphone but keeps you out of the infinite-doomscrolling loops, has been an enticing one for a long time. Nailing that balance, though, turns out to be almost impossible. On this episode of The Vergecast, we try and get it right. The Verge’s Allison Johnson joins the show to talk about the new Light Phone III, and then we run through a list of a

is editor-at-large and Vergecast co-host with over a decade of experience covering consumer tech. Previously, at Protocol, The Wall Street Journal, and Wired. The US smartphone market is pretty boring. There are iPhones, there are Galaxies, Google will happily give you a Pixel if you remember it exists, and that’s about it. But as soon as you get out and see the world a little, you realize: there are a lot of new ideas about smartphones out there. After that, we pivot to a new take on an old i

There was a time, not so long ago, when people wouldn’t shut up about a revolution in automobiles. No matter where you looked, you’d find someone telling you about how self-driving, all-electric vehicles would change the way we think about car ownership, lead to a total reinvention of how cities work, change the economy, and fix climate change forever. All by roughly 2020. Obviously things didn’t quite turn out the way the EV and robotaxi boosters hoped. On this episode of The Vergecast, we dig
