On Tuesday, during Apple's weeklong product launch event, a listing for the "MacBook Neo (Model A3404)" appeared on a regulatory compliance page on Apple's website under its lineup of 2026 MacBooks.

Unihertz, known for its slab phone alternatives, has unveiled an evolution of its device with a physical keyboard: The Titan 2 Elite.

All of Amazon’s kid-friendly Kindles are on sale, including the color version

Let me let you in on a little secret: Amazon’s kid-friendly e-readers are a better deal than the standard models.

The 6G, modular, robot phones of the future

Year after year, we mostly know what to expect from our smartphone upgrades. Galaxy, iPhone, Pixel, or whatever else, everything seems to get slightly better (and occasionally more expensive) without many surprises in store.

Xiaomi, unlike Google and Samsung, thinks camera hardware comes first

When it launched the 17 and 17 Ultra in Europe on Saturday, Xiaomi bucked an industry trend: it didn't really talk about AI all that much.

Why is SpaceX going public?

I am excited about the SpaceX IPO for all the reasons investors shouldn't be. Maybe it'll be a real marquee moment for Silicon Valley, but I see the potential for a shitshow. After all, more than a decade ago, Musk said that SpaceX going public before going to Mars would be bad for the company. […]
