Meta has hinted at bringing ads to WhatsApp for years, and now they’re finally here. #vergecast
The Verge· 2025-06-22 14:00
WhatsApp is officially getting ads. There are going to be ads in the the status sort of story screens that I sincerely believe no one ever looks at. There are going to be promoted channels in the channels interface.So, notably, the place that ads are not is in your chats. But this feels to me like maybe not the beginning of the end of WhatsApp, but the beginning of a very different WhatsApp. The founders famously never wanted ads in the app.Like they had just watched Fight Club. They were like kind of like ...
WTF is Trump Mobile? #Vergecast
The Verge· 2025-06-21 14:00
There is a phone. It's called the Trump mobile T1 phone 802. A fact that gives me a great number of questions.And then there is Trump mobile, the wireless carrier. Dom, what did the Trump organization actually launch this week. So, there's two parts to this.There's a network Trump mobile uh which is offering a single plan called the 47 plan. They are an MVNOS. They're just kind of piggybacking on T-Mobile coverage.But then they also wanted to have a phone because you know you can't have Trump mobile without ...

The Switch 2 doesn't support fancy webcams, but this USB-C endoscope totally works!
The Verge· 2025-06-20 14:01
Ever use a Nintendo Switch to check your teeth before a date. Or find your kids lost toys under the couch. Today I'm toying with a springy snake light camera that can do those things.A USB endoscope. This one's an utterly cheap $10 model I bought off Amazon. One that just so happens to work with the Nintendo Switch 2's webcam feature or your Android phone.Its sensor and light just aren't strong enough to say see my dishwasher at work. But it's good enough to inspect my walls, check the connectors behind my ...
Truth, lies, and the Trump Phone | The Vergecast
The Verge· 2025-06-20 12:39
Starting a wireless carrier is easier than you might think. So is building a half-decent Android phone! But doing all the things Trump Mobile promises, at the price and on the schedule it says, seems awfully close to impossible. While Nilay's out, David and Jake chat with The Verge's Dominic Preston about what we know about Trump Mobile and the T1 Phone, why everyone wants to be a wireless carrier, and what it would actually take for this to work out. After that, David and Jake talk through some big news in ...
Xbox’s new handheld looks pretty good. #Vergecast

The other handheld news was a new Xboxy handheld console that you also got to try. It was really a hands-on with Gears of War Reloaded. So, they're doing another remaster of Gears of War.Congratulations. And they had the game on like every different kind of console that it can run so you can compare. So, they had it on an Xbox, they had it on a PlayStation, they had it on a PC, they had it on one of the vanilla X, ROG allies, and then they also had the ROG Xbox ally X.We got to talk to Microsoft. We got to ...
The Switch 2 is both everything we wanted… and somehow still a little underwhelming. #vergecast
The Verge· 2025-06-18 16:57
purely as a piece of hardware. What have you felt about it so far. Does it feel like they got the thing right in just trying to make it better across the board.I don't say this in like a bad way. It's good enough. Okay.Like it's what they needed to do. Even after spending, you know, an entire week with it, it's a Switch but better. What are the sort of most noticeably better things.Just the way games run is like a huge difference. Like we talked about Mario Kart World and like developers in Nintendo had sai ...
We spent some time using the Norbauer Seneca, a $3,600 luxury keyboard.
The Verge· 2025-06-18 14:14
This keyboard is $3600. This is the Norbower Senica. The nicest keyboard I've ever typed on.Sounds nice, right. I wrote a bunch of words on this keyboard on the verge. com.But the quick version is that this is what happens when a keyboard nerd decides to make the best keyboard he possibly can without worrying about mass production or how much it's going to cost in the end. Turns out that's a lot of money. It has custom switches and stabilizers that are no joke the best I've ever used and I've used a lot.The ...
