I know my way around a pair of joysticks — but I’d prefer to soar. I don’t want to think about filming while I’m flying. I’d rather explore.Now, camera maker Insta360 is launching its first drone, under a new drone company, to serve that exact demand. It’s called Antigravity, and in January 2026, it’ll ship a flying 360-degree camera which — unlike today’s drones — will always come bundled with goggles that put you inside its virtual cockpit.It looks and flies a bit like a DJI Mini, with similar folding arms and sub-250-gram weight, but the experience of using the…
If you think a serious sports watch has to be a Garmin or Polar, think again. Breitling’s latest Ironman Endurance Pro models prove that luxury watches and athletic grit can go hand in hand – and they’re aimed squarely at runners who demand precision, resilience, and style in one package. Breitling has been the official watch partner of the Ironman triathlon since 2021, backing champions like Lucy Charles-Barclay and Sam Laidlow. The new 2025 editions are built for the biggest races on the Ironman calendar, with limited runs that make them as exclusive as they are capable. First up is…

Apple’s iOS 26 is packed with changes, but the standout for me isn’t flashy widgets or AI-powered shortcuts – it’s a quietly brilliant tweak to the Battery settings. And if you’ve ever had your iPhone mysteriously guzzle power before lunch, you’re going to appreciate it too. In previous versions of iOS, the Battery screen in Settings showed you graphs and percentages, but it was up to you to play detective. You’d scroll through a long list of apps, trying to spot which one was quietly draining your battery like a leaky tap. More often than not, it was guesswork. iOS…
Microsoft is adding the ability to download ARM64 compatible games to its Xbox app for Windows on Arm. Windows Insiders can now test a new update to the Xbox app that lets them install games locally, instead of having to rely on Xbox Cloud Gaming.Currently, the Xbox app on devices like the Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro 12 will only let you play cloud games from Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service. This new Xbox update will mean some ARM64 games from PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be available on Qualcomm-powered devices for the first time.Microsoft says its Windows…
New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing the banks behind Zelle over claims that their payment platform enabled “massive amounts of fraud” that caused customers to lose more than $1 billion between 2017 and 2023. In the lawsuit, James alleges Zelle was rushed to market, resulting in a design that made the platform “an obvious conduit for fraudulent activity.”Early Warning Services (EWS), a company owned by major institutions including Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and others, launched Zelle in 2017 as a way to let customers send money from their bank account to other users…
Apple is developing a bunch of products and features to deliver its vision of AI, including multiple robots, a smart home display, and a revamped version of Siri with new technology powering it, according to an extensive report from Bloomberg. The company’s generative AI efforts lag those from other big tech companies, and it delayed some upgrades to Siri earlier this year, but these rumored new initiatives point to the smart home as a key place for its AI technologyOne of the robots is apparently a tabletop robot that “resembles” an iPad mounted to an arm that can move around…
The Redditor says the screen’s colors are “much better than the Colorsoft” and the prototype lets you adjust the intensity and saturation of individual colors. The size of the device’s screen bezels are similar to Amazon’s entry-level black-and-white Kindle, but they claim it will actually be a little smaller than the 11th-generation version of the e-reader.According to the post’s author, the prototype’s user interface takes better advantage of its color E Ink screen, letting you change the colors of the battery, Wi-Fi, and shopping cart icons, as well as the reading progress status bar. The text of an ebook can…
We’re just one week away from Google’s Pixel 10 launch event, but the steady stream of leaks shows no sign of stopping. Now, new leaked images shared by Dutch outlet NieuweMobiel show what looks like Google’s rumored “Pixelsnap” cases with a ring in the center, hinting at support for the Qi2 wireless charging standard.Bringing Qi2 magnetic charging to the Pixel 10 would be a pretty big deal. Among Android phones, only the HMD Skyline comes with the built-in magnets to fully support Qi2 magnetic charging, while “Qi2 Ready” phones like Samsung’s newest foldables rely on magnetic cases to make them…
Starlink now charges $5 a month to pause its high-speed, low-latency internet service, a feature that used to be available for free. It affects Roam, Residential, and Priority subscribers in the US, most of Europe, and Canada with lots of exceptions.SpaceX hilariously calls it an upgrade, but I call it a bait and switch for anyone that bought a Starlink Mini with that “pay as you go” promise.The free pause feature has been replaced with a $5/month (or €5/month) Standby Mode that comes with “unlimited low-speed data” that’s “perfect for backup connectivity and emergency use,” according to the email sent…
Any ebook reader will let you cram a Beauty and the Beast-sized library’s worth of books in your pocket, but so will your phone. An ebook reader offers a more book-like reading experience, with fewer distractions and less eye strain, and many include extra features, like adjustable frontlighting. Some really are pocketable. Others are waterproof or offer physical page-turning buttons, while a few even let you take notes.I’ve been using ebook readers for nearly a decade, and I’ve gone hands-on with dozens, from the Kindle Paperwhite to lesser-known rivals like the Pocketbook Era. Whether you want something your kid can…
World-renowned pastry chef and viral sensation Amaury Guichon has turned one of the boldest designs in luxury watchmaking into something you can sink your teeth into… literally. His latest creation is a fully handcrafted chocolate sculpture of the Ulysse Nardin Freak ONE, the award-winning timepiece famous for its radical design and technical wizardry.
