iOS 27 escaped the developer world today with the launch of the first public beta. I’ve been testing the new operating system since early June, looking for quirks and seeing if it can live up to the hype Apple promised in the keynote. This year’s iOS upgrades are what one might call a Snow Leopard […]
I love it when a company challenges itself to make a cheaper version of a beloved product. Xreal’s $299 A01 Plus is a stripped-down version of its $449 1S that’s light on features but with just enough of the 1S’ best qualities. These AR glasses are comfortable, they look good, and the screens are surprisingly […]
Sony is bringing back the RX10 superzoom camera after a nearly nine-year gap between models. The newly announced RX10 V retains the same 24-600mm equivalent f/2.4-4 Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 25x zoom lens of its last two predecessors, but it has lots of upgrades elsewhere. The new 20.1-megapixel 1-inch-type sensor is a stacked design, allowing up to […]
A little robotic switch-flipper has become my sidekick in combating cockroaches. Before I got the SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable, I’d tiptoe through the dark every morning, hoping I wouldn’t step on one of those terrible bugs scurrying around as I made my way to the light switch across the room. Now I’m ready for battle before […]
Fi Ultra is the first Starlink-enabled pet tracker you can buy. It expands on GPS and LTE trackers, adding automatic failover to T-Mobile’s T-Satellite-branded direct-to-cell service when venturing into cellular dead zones. That lets owners tap into SpaceX’s constellation of low Earth orbit Starlink satellites to track their pets anywhere in the US. But it […]
For the last couple weeks, I’ve been in an extremely lucky position: I’ve been spending a lot of time playing games on Valve’s Steam Machine. We gave the Steam Machine a 6, and I don’t disagree with my colleague Sean Hollister’s review. But even though I already own a PS5 and an Xbox Series X, […]
The Ikko MindOne Pro is delightfully small. I keep calling it a square phone, which isn’t quite right; the screen is square, but the phone itself is slightly rectangular. The camera flips up so you can use it for selfies – you can even open it partway to use as a stand or a kind […]
Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. One year on, our phones have finally arrived. 12 months, 16 days, 21 hours, and 54 minutes after I first heard about Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), I’m finally holding one in my own hands. That’s right, The Verge’s Trump […]
Dbrand is the company that shipped a product that told Nintendo’s legal team to “go fuck yourself,” and the company that had a second set of lawyer-dodging PS5 plates ready when Sony threatened to sue over the originals. But on June 29th, the company finally ate some serious humble pie, canceling its Portal-themed Companion Cube […]
Xgimi, the Chinese company known for its all-in-one smart projectors, is expanding its portfolio with a new line of screen-equipped smart glasses that first debuted at CES 2026. Unlike AR glasses from companies like Meta and Snap, Xgimi’s new privacy-focused MemoMind One skip cameras for a lighter and more discreet design that helps hide their […]
