Nothing’s Ear 3 earbuds charging case has… another microphone? #Vergecast
The Verge· 2025-09-12 17:14
It might just look stupid. It might just look like you're talking into your headphones case. Nothing, which I think is like one of the most interesting hardware companies still.They have a new set of their own earbuds coming out, the Ear 3. But what we've learned this week is that there's a microphone and a talk button on the charging case itself. I think the conspiracy theory is that this is going to actually double as a wireless microphone, which is weird because obviously the headphones have mics built i ...
Selfies just got easier on the iPhone 17. #vergecast
The Verge· 2025-09-11 17:30
I honestly think the ability to take landscape selfies while holding your phone in portrait is like the most exciting iPhone upgrade in years. Truly, cuz it's it's it's the sort of thing people do all the time. Landscape selfies always look worse because the camera is suddenly off to the side and half the people in the selfie are looking to this side of the camera and half the people are looking to this side of the camera.Nobody is correctly looking at the camera. Everything just looks wrong. You're not abl ...
It’s a good year for the iPhone 17. #vergecast

I think it really is a good year for the iPhone 17 getting the promotion display. Like, thank God our national nightmare is over. There's I think our our colleague Dominic Preston pointed out in some of our coverage that you can get a 120 Hz display on like a $200 Android phone.You know, it was time. So, it's here. And I will say just a real quick PSA to anyone who is wondering what is a promotion display.What is the difference. it. Don't find out. If you don't know the difference, don't ever find out.Like, ...
Silksong on Android is now a reality, no port required! #TITW

Silk Song on Android. This isn't a trick. Today, I'm toying with an actual PC game on my Galaxy S25, and it's so easy to set up that anyone can do it.Again, I'm not streaming this game. I actually installed my Steam copy of Silkong on my phone, complete with my SteamCloud saves. I'm using a Windows emulator called GameHub from Gamepad Maker Game Ser, which just added SteamCloud saves for the very first time.You won't find this app on Google Play, but once you install and log into Steam, it installs the righ ...

The base model iPhone 17 might be the best deal for most people.

I think the regular iPhone 17 might actually be the best of Apple's new iPhones, especially because it didn't get a price hike. For one thing, the iPhone 17 finally gets a screen with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, which means you'll see smoother scrolling and animations on your phone. It's a feature that's been exclusive to Apple's Pro phones for years, and now it's on the base model.The screen is a little bigger and can get a little brighter, too. The iPhone 17 also gets a new selfie cam that c ...

2025 Apple Watches hands-on: did the SE 3 steal the show?
The Verge· 2025-09-10 02:05
Let's talk Apple watches. I got to tell you, this year uh is not what I expected. It's a little bit of a weird year because the watch I'm most excited about is the Apple Watch SE3, the $250 entrylevel Apple Watch, is actually getting a bunch of updates.A lot of the things that you would expect to see on the series watches is coming downstream to the entry level. We're talking things like a wrist temperature sensor, faster charging, and you know, the thing that we've always wanted from the SE3. We are gettin ...
iPhone 17 Pro hands-on
The Verge· 2025-09-10 01:47
[Music] At Apple's hardware event this year, the Pro is here with a new redesign. It looks a little different than it did in the previous years. It's got a big camera bar on the back. Apple wants to call it a camera plateau.I won't be calling it that. It's a camera bar. The whole phone is made out of aluminum.Apple shifted back to aluminum from the titanium of previous models for heat dissipation reasons. There's ceramic shield on the front and on the back panel. It gives it this kind of two-tone thing goin ...
iPhone Air hands-on: as slim as it looks
The Verge· 2025-09-09 23:47
[Music] I'm in Certino for Apple's annual hardware event and just met the entire iPhone 17 series, but there's a new member of the family this year. It's the iPhone Air. It's not the 17 Air, but it's in the family.It has a striking new design. It is super thin, as you might have guessed from the name, just over 5 mm thick. That actually makes it a little bit thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Edge.Not by much. They're both really thin phones. By comparison, the 17 Pro is 8.75% mm thick, so much thinner here.So ...
