iPadOS 26 preview: A long-awaited multi-tasking update pays off (so far)

I’m not going to beat around the bush: iPadOS 26 and its new multitasking features are a game-changer for Apple’s tablets. Pretty much ever since Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 15 years ago (!), Apple has tried to straddle two worlds. In one, the iPad is a super-simple, easy-to-use tablet with a gorgeous display and tons of good apps from the App Store for gaming, entertainment and light work. The... Read more ›

macOS 26 beta preview: Spotlight's time to shine

I've learned not to expect much from macOS updates — not through sheer cynicism, but from the obvious reality that Apple pays far more attention to iOS and iPadOS than its desktop platform. I get it. macOS is a thing of the past, while smartphones and tablets are Apple's profitable present and future. But still, I think Mac users deserve more than just widgets, or the ability to merely mirror... Read more ›

iOS 26 beta preview: Liquid Glass is better than you think

At WWDC 2025, Apple revealed a major visual shake-up for iOS (not to mention the rest of the company’s operating systems). This is the biggest change, aesthetically, since the shift away from the stitching, textures and skeuomorphic design of the iOS 4. It also comes with significantly fewer AI and Siri updates this time around. However, it’s the smaller touches that make iOS 26 seem like a notable improvement over... Read more ›

There's finally a trailer for Battlefield 6, but no multiplayer details just yet

We knew it was coming and now it's here. EA has officially dropped a trailer for the long-rumored Battlefield 6. The footage is heavy on story, but light on gameplay. As for that story, there's a global war raging with a private military contractor, prompting an explosion-laden presidential address. The trailer certainly suggests that the newest entry in the franchise will have plenty of cinematic set-pieces. EA has confirmed that... Read more ›

1Password subscriptions are half off for the back to school season

1Password is running a notable back-to-school sale in the middle of July, but the deals more than make up for the chronological discrepancy. Many subscription plans are half off until September 12. This includes the Individual and Families plans. That brings the price of the Individual plan down to $18 for a year and the Families plan down to $30 for a year. The plans are nearly identical, but the... Read more ›

$1 billion of NVIDIA AI chips were reportedly sold in China despite US bans

Donkey Kong Bananza review: Nintendo's latest 3D platformer is an instant classic

The best Nintendo games do two things. The first is introducing a delightful gaming mechanic — take Ultrahand in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Cappy in Super Mario Odyssey for some recent examples. The second is building a world around that mechanic for players to explore. Obviously games are more than one specific tool, and building a compelling game around a good mechanic is no small...

Amazon announces a slightly cheaper Kindle Colorsoft with half the storage

Amazon finally launched its first-ever color Kindle last year, and while the Kindle Colorsoft was an impressive first effort, the high price of entry likely put it out of range of a lot of people. Well, we have good(ish) news. Amazon has now added a slightly cheaper Colorsoft to its lineup. At $250, it’s still very expensive, but $30 cheaper than the original model, albeit with some sacrifices made. At... Read more ›

The gaming marketplace, which mainly hosts titles from indie developers, has admitted in an announcement that it wasn't able to give creators advance notice. It "had to act urgently to protect the platform’s core payment infrastructure," it said, because the... Read more ›

Snapchat can automatically let a trusted friend know you got home safe

Snapchat can now let your friends know if you're back home from an outing safe and sound without you having to send a message.

Lego's Game Boy set is here, sadly not playable

After teasing it earlier this year, Lego has unveiled its Game Boy set. The 421-piece model is a "brick-built replica of the original Game Boy" and has buttons you can press, including the +Control Pad, A and B buttons and Select and Start — though you can't play games on it, obviously. It even comes with brick replicas of Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land game paks,... Read more ›
