But the bigger side of the story is software... Read more ›

Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Okay, sure, Google basically spent the last few months spoiling its annual hardware event by repeatedly leaking — and in some cases just flat-out announcing — all its upcoming phones, wearables, headphones, and TV gadgets. But the annual Pixel event is still a big day in the gadget world, and also a chance to find out exactly what Google thinks the future looks... Read more ›

The plural is actually “Pixels Pro,” like attorneys general. Google’s Pixel phone lineup is getting a little bigger this year. The Pixel 9 series now counts one standard model — the Pixel 9 — and three Pro models: the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. They all offer updated designs, new Tensor G4 processors, and AI features up the wazoo. The Pixel 9’s updated... Read more ›

The Pixel 9 Pro XL, or the newest face of “What is a photo?” | Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge I played a new kind of AR Pac-Man game yesterday, guiding a circle on a phone screen toward a series of little dots that seemed to hover around a conference room. In this version, you don’t level up when you finish; instead, you get a panoramic photo. I got... Read more ›

Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Alongside a fleet of new phones and two sizes of its Pixel Watch 3, Google has just announced its latest flagship earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro 2. They’re priced slightly higher at $229, but Google has included enough improvements that I don’t think most people will be dissuaded by that. The overall design is quite similar to the original Pixel Buds Pro, but... Read more ›

There’s now a 45mm (left) Pixel Watch 3 along with the original 41mm size. The Pixel Watch 3 isn’t the new smartwatch on the block anymore — which is an interesting place for Google to be in. It’s easier to forgive flaws when you’re a newbie, launching a first-gen device in an already crowded market. It’s understandable if a second-gen device is still working out the kinks. But there are... Read more ›

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photo by Grzegorz Wajda, Getty Images During their glitchy, rambling, two-hour “conversation” on X last night, Elon Musk made the case to Donald Trump that climate change was real and maybe electric cars weren’t as bad as the former president has been making them out to be on the campaign trail. The result was a feeble attempt by a once-lauded environmentalist to... Read more ›

Image: Flipboard Flipboard is making good on a major fediverse promise. Late last year, at the same time it announced it would be switching user accounts to ActivityPub, Flipboard said it planned to let users follow users on federated platforms that used ActivityPub from the Flipboard app. Starting Tuesday, that feature is here, meaning that you can follow people from places like Mastodon, Threads, and Pixelfed right inside Flipboard.

Struggling to squeeze more adapters onto a power strip? Anker’s upcoming 65W charger could be the solution. | Image: Anker Japan Anker has come up with a clever design for a new 65W charger that’s thin enough to squeeze between larger power adapters on a power strip, potentially making an over-crowded outlet useable again. Thin chargers aren’t a new idea, but they typically feature a set of folding prongs on... Read more ›

Image: Hugo Herrera / The Verge While the notion lingers that “the internet is forever,” it can also feel like it’s written on water. If you’re an internet-based creative, the company that publishes your writing or exhibits an online gallery of your work can suddenly fold (see: Gawker or Game Informer), migrate content management systems, or simply unpublish older work. In that case, the article you researched for a month,... Read more ›
