Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn plans to begin assembling AirPods at its factory in Hyderabad, India in April, the Press Trust of India said today. The report cited an industry source. The report did not indicate which AirPods models will be manufactured in India, but it did say that all units produced will be exported to other countries. In 2023, Foxconn agreed to start assembling AirPods in India, and it is now ready to start. AirPods production in India will further diversify Apple's su...

An Olympian task.

You won't be surprised to learn that the leap of faith is a little too Hollywood, though.

Sorting through every new game on Steam so you don't have to.

Ghost Bear: Flash Storm is due in April.

In a research note today with GF Securities, Pu said mass production of the foldable devices is slated to begin in the second half of 2026. The analyst believes the foldable devices will enter an early prototyping stage this April. Pu did not provide any specific details about the two foldable devices. He is likely referring to Apple's first foldable iPhone, whic...

Australian tech enthusiast Sonny Dickson today shared photos of dummy models for all four iPhone 17 models launching later this year. Dummy models are often based on leaked designs and dimensions, and they allow accessory makers to prepare cases for upcoming iPhone models. In line with previous rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max each have an elongated rear camera bump, housing three camera lenses, an LED camera flash, and a microphone. The so-called iPhone 17 Air has a similar rear ...

Evan Feinman, who directed the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program meant to bring high-speed internet access to rural areas, exited the role on Friday after he was not reappointed for a new term, according to ProPublica’s Craig Silverman. In an email sent to staffers, which Silverman shared screenshots of on Bluesky, Feinman warned against changes proposed by the new administration that could “benefit technology that delivers slower speeds at higher costs to the...

Horizon voice actor Ashly Burch speaks out about leaked AI tech demo of her character and calls for AI protection for game actors.

If ever a game presents me with an opportunity to perform completely absurd aerial tricks, you best believe I will be flipping as much as possible. In Jump Truck, a 3D solo racing game for Playdate by Tabortop Games, flips can work either to your benefit or detriment as you try to score the fastest finish time for each of a series of race tracks. Throwing in some flips may help to shave several seconds off your final time, but it could also send your truck hurtling into the abyss. It’s a delicat...

Apple is rumored to be planning a second-generation Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting for release later this year, or early next year. That monitor is codenamed J427 within Apple, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said that Apple seemingly has even bigger plans in regards to external displays. Specifically, he said that Apple is working on an additional monitor, codenamed J527. However, he is not sure what this additional monitor will end up b...

Apple is planning some of the "biggest iOS and macOS redesigns in its history," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman reiterated that iOS 19 will have a visionOS-like design with more transparent interfaces:The new interfaces will adopt the design principles introduced in visionOS, the software for Apple's Vision Pro headset. That includes greater transparency and new types of windows and buttons — and that should make all Apple devices feel more consiste...

When will the iPhone get under-screen Face ID? Rumors continue to surface. In April 2023, display industry analyst Ross Young shared a roadmap showing that iPhone 17 Pro models would feature under-display Face ID. In May 2024, however, Young said he heard this change had been delayed until 2026. If so, that means that under-screen Face ID could debut on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max next year. In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman offered a similar timeframe. He sai...

The so-called iPhone 17 Air, which is rumored to be coming this fall, is said to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever. But, if the company had gone through some of its earlier plans for the device, slimness may not have been the most talked-about element. In the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes that Apple at one time planned to ditch the USB-C port “to make the Air device Apple’s first completely port-free iPhone.” The company reportedly shelved the idea to avoid sparking fresh pro...

Apple considered launching the iPhone 17 Air without a USB-C charging port, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said that while Apple ultimately decided against making the iPhone 17 Air its first iPhone model without a charging port, the idea is still on the table for future iPhone models. He said the iPhone 17 Air will "foreshadow a move to slimmer models without charging ports." "The iPhone 17 Air represents the beginning of a sea change for Apple," h...

Tired of dying to that duck in REPO? Its first update promises a fix, plus a new map and more.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today shared some new details about the rumored iPhone 17 Air. In his Power On newsletter, Gurman said he was told that the device may start at roughly $899 in the U.S., which means that it would occupy the same price point as the iPhone 16 Plus. This would make sense, as it has been widely rumored that the Air model will take over the Plus model's spot in the iPhone lineup going forward. Despite its rumored ultra-thin and lightweight design, Gurman said the iPhone 17 Air...

After seeing Kraven the Hunter in theaters in December 2024, I couldn’t stop thinking about one detail of the movie. Kraven’s arrival on Netflix this week — its debut for the streaming audience — brought it back to the forefront of my mind. Kraven was a huge box-office flop, scoring around $60 million worldwide on a...

Now that Armored Core 6 has been and gone, there are plenty of ways to fill that giant, mech-sized hole in your heart. Mecha Break’s demo is concluding, sure, but MechWarrior 5: Clans still offers a fairly robust way to customize and take giant robots out into the world. If you’ve never tried it, the game is currently 30% off, but there’s also a huge new DLC that’s just been announced, and it’s right around the corner.

The next game from the project lead of Fallout 76 has been scaled back amid rough industry seas.

We’ve recently heard rumors that Apple is working on the next generation of its Studio Display, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman now reports that there may actually be two new models in the works. Building on his previous reporting about a potential update to the 2022 Studio Display that could be released next year, Gurman writes this weekend in the Power On newsletter that sources have told him “Apple is working on a second new monitor.” The first is code-named J427, while the second is reportedly b...

Getting stuck on a FromSoftware boss is part of the experience. The first time I came up against Ornstein and Smough I was absolutely demolished, but it was my perseverance and willingness to try new strategies that eventually helped me beat them. This tenacity is no less required in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but what if you decided to stay on one boss forever? Well, that's exactly what this player has been doing for almost a year, as they document their experience while waiting for FromSoftwar...

A tail of mystery. In this charming indie, an aspiring writer gets lost in a scenic coastal destination while searching for inspiration. Diana Caproni wanders Borga Marina, making friends and solving mysteries in this low-intensity detective story.

The location and sleuthing format also recall seminal adventure titles of yesteryear - particularly the sun-soaked...

While Stardew Valley inspired an entire genre unto itself, nothing beats the original. Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone’s farming and life sim has only been getting bigger and better over the years, with tens of thousands of people playing it as I write this sentence. The idyllic loop of tending crops, exploring lands, and wooing villagers is an incredibly popular one, and it just got even better. A dedicated group of modders has added an entirely new village to the game, basically tacking on an entir...

While I’ve fallen in love with many videogame creatures over the years - World of Warcraft’s murlocs, League of Legends’ poros - South of Midnight’s Benjy is truly one of my favorites. You'll encounter him in Chapter 3 of the upcoming action-adventure game, and while he isn't immediately recognizable, by the time the chapter has drawn to a close and all the puzzle pieces have come together, his story will have left an indelible impression on you. A young, neurodivergent boy left to die by his fr...

It’s nice to be cozy. I’m a huge fan of being wrapped up in a big blanket, sipping hot chocolate, and leisurely walks under colorful autumn trees. Cozy games are also great, and they’re an increasingly popular genre. While I’ve spent hours preparing the perfect farm in Stardew Valley or exploring Bahari Bay in Palia,...

Six EA and Codemasters games have suddenly been delisted from Steam, seemingly without any warning. Each of the games was unceremoniously taken from Valve’s storefront earlier this week, on the same day, making them much harder to purchase going forward. All of the games also have an update on SteamDB on Friday March 14 that reads “app_retired_publisher_request,” with very little else given.

Ticking a lot of boxes. We are back with another edition of Box Art Brawl and things are about to get puzzley. Before we dive into this week's match-up, however, let's take a look at what went down last time when we put the NES' Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom under the microscope. Despite what we thought were two pretty sweet covers, it was the Western design that took a commanding win, snatching up 82% of the vote and leaving Japan in the dust with the remaining 18%. Yikes.
