Retro game emulator Delta has released version 2.0, adding a Liquid Glass interface redesign and dedicated support for the foldable iPhone Duo. The update includes custom controller skins for Nintendo DS layouts that adapt to the device's various folded poses, Sega Genesis ROM compatibility, improved library navigation, and audio settings that let game sound mix with music or podcasts.
Apple's upcoming iOS 27.2 update, expected next week, carries design changes to two built-in apps. Apple Music drops its red accent color for black, white and blue tones across the tab bar, library sections and widgets, while Apple Books repositions its reading controls, adds progress bars, and introduces a standard Liquid Glass menu.
Delta 2.0, the iOS game emulator, now includes optimization for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, letting users play Nintendo DS games with controller skins adapted to portrait and landscape folding poses. The update also adds Sega Genesis emulation with matching controller skins, a custom DLC feature for classic Game Boy Advance Pokémon titles, a redesigned UI built around Apple's Liquid Glass design, and experimental support for Epilogue's GB/SN Operator cartridge adapters and custom visual filters.
Apple has rolled out a rebranded visual identity for Apple Music, incorporating its Liquid Glass design language. The company also released a short video showing the creative process, which involved design agency TBWA/Media Arts Lab, producer Fred again.., and a physical setup using a mineral oil tank with a transducer to create ripple effects against branded panels.
Apple has redesigned Apple Music's branding, introducing a rippling-water logo created by etching a musical note onto a glass tank filled with mineral oil and vibrating it with sound tones. The project was made with music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics, and the app icon is also shifting from its longtime red color scheme to black-and-white. The changes arrive with iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2.
Apple Music has rolled out a new logo and branding, reportedly shaped using sound-wave data rendered through Apple's 'liquid glass' visual design style. The refreshed identity ties the app's icon more directly to the concept of sound itself rather than abstract symbolism.
Olo, led by founder and CEO Noah Glass, has launched a nationwide food-delivery app on iOS and Android featuring 250 restaurant brands at launch. Unlike Uber Eats and DoorDash, Olo charges restaurants no commission-driven markups, instead charging users a flat 5 percent service fee plus delivery charges, with menu prices matching in-store pricing. The app also omits sponsored listings, showing a streamlined list of nearby restaurants and past orders.
Magnifique has released a combo appliance pairing a 4.5-quart glass air fryer bowl with an optional base that converts it into a slow cooker, rice cooker and braising pot. The unit, priced at $250 and sold at Walmart, disassembles for compact storage and features a nontoxic, oven-safe glass cooking chamber rather than a nonstick basket. It cannot run air fryer and slow cooker functions simultaneously.
Apple is testing a new Apple Music app icon in iOS 27.2 beta 4 that replaces the familiar red beamed-eighth-note logo with a black-and-white version, plus an inverted white-on-black variant for dark mode. The redesign also tilts the notes slightly, rounds their shape, adds a subtle drop shadow, and extends to removing red from home-screen widgets and switching the app's internal pink/red tint to blue. It follows an earlier shift to a bolder, lowercase wordmark introduced alongside Apple Music Hall in London.
Researchers from 21 institutions, including MD Anderson, Duke, UCSF and Mayo Clinic, generated new whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data on brain tumor samples, combining them with previously published GLASS and TCGA datasets. The analysis used longitudinal tumor and blood samples sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq platforms to track genomic changes in astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas over time.
Researchers excavating a site from the early Middle Ages have identified a building featuring a Roman-style hypocaust heating system, suggesting construction techniques persisted after Rome's collapse. The team also found glass fragments believed to be remnants of high-value lamps or tableware, indicating the site's occupants held significant wealth or status.
