“Someone might be watching everything I’m doing on my screen,” I tell myself in public. Even when I’m doing nothing of consequence – just making my little Wordle guesses – there’s a sense of unease that stays with me. It’s never bothered me too much, and I generally save the sensitive stuff like banking for […]
I’m not entirely sure why the Pixel 10A exists. Google hasn’t upgraded the chipset, cameras, or battery in the new phone, and the tweaks it’s made elsewhere are minimal at best. The flatter camera island is good, I guess! In one sense this isn’t a big problem: The Pixel 9A is an excellent device, and […]
Recently, Ring ran a Super Bowl ad for its Search Party feature showing how it uses AI to scan footage from Ring cameras and video doorbells to help find lost dogs. It sounds neighborly — until you consider that the same system could theoretically search footage for anything or anyone. Combined with longstanding concerns around […]
While Samsung has treated its Flips and Folds to a few major hardware upgrades over recent years, the Galaxy S flagships have often felt like a long, unbroken line of minor spec refreshes. The S26 and S26 Plus do nothing to change that trend. The Galaxy S26 Ultra at least benefits from the company’s new […]
The first thing most people seem to do when they try out a foldable phone I’m reviewing is look for the crease in the screen. In the case of Oppo’s Find N6, it might take them a while. Oppo claims that the Find N6, launching in full next week on March 17th, has the world’s […]
The latest Pokémon game is a cozy life simulator like “Animal Crossing” or “Minecraft,” but in a way that feels more grounded to our actual world.
It’s MacBook Neo review day, so let’s talk Apple’s new $599 laptop. I’m going to host another AMA for Verge subscribers today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. Like last time, it’ll all take place in the comments section of this post. What do you want to know about the MacBook Neo? I’ve got the […]
The MacBook Neo is basically the M1 MacBook Air all over again. That laptop changed the game in 2020, and became the default option for just about anyone who wanted a great all-around thin-and-light laptop and could spend $1,000. The M1 Air was good enough that you could still buy a new one until last […]
We’ve been busy testing many new MacBooks, ranging from the new $1,099 M5 MacBook Air, going all the way up the $6,149 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip. While these computers are identical in design to last year’s models, they have some things in common: neither delivers a significant lead over their M4 […]
It’s been almost exactly four years since Apple released the 5K Studio Display that so many wanted, even if it didn’t really deliver as a high-end display. Apple has now revamped the Studio Display lineup, sort of, with another Studio Display and the Studio Display XDR. They’re both 27-inch 5K (5,120 x 2,880) displays with […]
