Logitech has announced a new keyboard case for iPad Pro and iPad Air models that lets you remove and position its keyboard exactly where you need it. It’s not an entirely new idea for the company — its Combo Touch case also lets you detach the keyboard — but the new Flip Folio’s keyboard has a much smaller footprint, giving you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it.The Flip Folio is priced at $179.99 for a version compatible with 13-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro models, or $159.99 for a slightly smaller case that’s compatible with…

Slapping a keyboard cover onto your iPad is great for when you want to get work done – but once you clock off you don’t want a constant QWERTY reminder that you’ll be back in the grind come 9am the next morning. Loigtech’s new Flip Folio case keeps the keys out of sight when it’s after hours, but always within reach in case you need to type something up in double time. The protective case naturally keeps your iPad safe from scuffs while in your bag, and is lined with magnets so you can swap between landscape and portrait orientation…

While a smarter Siri may have been a no-show at WWDC, Alexa Plus, the generative AI-powered overhaul of Amazon’s voice assistant, is finally appearing in the wild.No one at The Verge has access yet, but Amazon spokesperson Eric Sveum tells me over a million people now do — up from “hundreds of thousands” just last month. And while it was initially a struggle to find anyone who had it, there is now evidence that Alexa Plus is finally out there, based on recent Reddit and Facebook user posts.According to Sveum, Alexa Plus is now being rolled out to customers with…

Hey all–It’s been an incredible few months — we shared our vision at I/O and GML, and we’ve been shipping at a dizzying pace. We’ve seen a super positive response to AI Mode including our shopping announcements, heard excitement about our new ads experiences directly from businesses, and are bringing Maps to cutting-edge new surfaces like Gemini Live and XR glasses. It’s been intense – but also intensely fun and energizing – and I’ve seen and heard the same from many of you. I took on this role to lead K&I because I believe there’s no better place to transform…

In March, Apple delayed its upgraded Siri, saying that “it’s going to take us longer than we thought to deliver” the promised features. At WWDC this week, Apple’s SVP of software Craig Federighi and SVP of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak shared more details about the decision to delay in an interview with The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern.As part of its initial Apple Intelligence announcements at WWDC 2024, Apple said that the improved Siri would have awareness of your personal context and the ability to take actions for you in apps. While Apple was showing real software at that show,…

Today’s robot vacuums are becoming a bit like cars: with all the features, upgrades, and fancy trimmings available these days, it’s easy to forget that they can just be simple machines that get us from point A to point B. Yes, some bots blow hot air on their bums (mop pads), deftly navigate dog poop, and have arms to pick up your socks, but there are plenty of basic budget robot vacuums that just do a decent job of cleaning your floor autonomously — as long as you tidy up first.Fancier models have obstacle recognition, and some even use AI-powered…

At WWDC, Apple announced its new Liquid Glass design language, which is coming to all of its devices, including Macs. I’ve been tinkering with the macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta on the M4 MacBook Air for about a day. So far, the aesthetic changes range from slick to slightly overwrought, but the new Spotlight search features are nifty and useful. There are new touches of glassy transparency all over macOS 26, including the Dock, Finder, widgets, and built-in apps. It’s more subtle than on the iPhone, mostly because the Mac’s much larger screen real estate makes the Liquid Glass elements…

It’s not often I get out of a car and immediately feel like my own vehicle is suddenly ancient tech, but that’s how I felt after a day with Apple CarPlay Ultra in the 2025 Aston Martin DBX. This isn’t just a prettier version of the CarPlay you’ve used before, it’s a complete takeover – one interface stretched seamlessly across all the car’s screens, from the instrument cluster to the centre display. And once you’ve experienced that level of clarity and cohesion, there’s no going back. Android Auto in my own car now feels like a jumbled mess. Aston Martin…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in a blog post published Tuesday, says an average ChatGPT query uses about 0.000085 gallons of water, or “roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon.” He made the claim as part of a broader post on his predictions about how AI will change the world. “People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over one second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes,” he says. He also argues that “the cost of intelligence…

Google rolled out a bunch of new features with Android 16 on Tuesday, but the company appears to be saving its big Material 3 Expressive redesign for a future update. The update doesn’t feature the design language’s revamped elements, and a source tells Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman that Google is planning to launch the new look on September 3rd, 2025, instead.With Android 16, Google is starting to roll out support for Live Updates with progress-centric notifications and enhanced settings for users with hearing aids. The updates are coming to Pixel devices first, but according to Google, Android users will have…

Google has launched a bevy of noteworthy additions to its Home app, most of which are available now in public preview (which you can enroll in here). The biggest news, according to The Verge’s smart home expert Jen Tuohy, is that picture-in-picture support has arrived for Nest Cams on whichever Google TV product you might have. This is self-explanatory, but nice to have (even though we’re surprised Google didn’t launch this sooner). It will let you peer through what your various Nest Cams see, conveniently located on a portion of your TV’s screen. This one’s limited to a public preview…

Nothing’s next major phone is going to be revealed next month, but it might be missing the company’s signature Glyph lights.Leaker Max Jambor shared a picture of what he says is the Nothing Phone 3, and the image doesn’t appear to include Glyph lights, which Nothing has offered on previous phones as a way to alert you about notifications.Beyond the absence of the Glyph lights, the image also shows that the Nothing Phone 3 will have three cameras on the back, similar to the recently-launched Nothing 3A and 3A Pro. It also looks like the Phone 3 will carry over…
