Why the ‘iPhone of smartwatches’ remains so elusive

Ever since it became obvious that the iPhone was one of the most transformative consumer products in history, a question has been floating out there: Would its impact ever be matched by a device in an even newer category? And if something pulled it off, what would it be?

After a decade and a half—so far—we aren’t any closer to getting answers. Yes, Apple has had its monster hits since then, especially the iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch. But they haven’t been iPhone-size landmarks.

Dating is even more partisan in the Trump era

Donald Trump’s return to office has bolstered a wave of apps. Bluesky spiked in November; Signal is seeing renewed attention. Niche dating apps are also raking in new users—both from the right and left.

ChatGPT may be making us lonelier

A new pair of studies from MIT Media Lab and OpenAI found that those who use the chatbot most heavily also experience the most loneliness. The catch-22: it’s unclear whether this is caused by the chatbot itself or if lonely individuals are simply more likely to seek out emotional bonds.

Researchers analyzed millions of interactions and

Nvidia-backed CoreWeave slashes IPO size and price amid investor concerns

CoreWeave plans to reduce the size of its U.S. initial public offering and price its shares below the indicated range, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday, dampening expectations that the listing would boost investor appetite for IPOs.

The Nvidia-backed cloud services provider is now looking to sell 37.5 million shares, 23.5% less than originally planned, and price them at $40 apiece, well below even

The slim phone era is (finally) back

Smartphones have been around long enough that, to the casual observer, their designs seem to have hit a plateau. And on a functional level, that’s more or less true—we’re all essentially holding the same six-inch-ish rectangle, aside from the occasional foldable exception.

But the maturity and ubiquity of smartphones have sparked a new phenomenon: the return of trends in cycles, much like fashion. For example, most phone

AI is painful for journalists but healthy for journalism

As AI takes on a greater role in our media ecosystem, many journalists look at it like a farmer sees an invasive species: as a force that threatens to slowly choke, kill, and replace their work, potentially threatening their livelihood. 

There’s good reason for this: For reporters and editors, AI represents an assault on multiple fronts. Not only can large language models (LLMs) take over many task

The Apple Watch faces a wearables wake-up call

Apple Watch sales are enduring a years-long backslide.

While Apple first launched its watch in 2015, sales didn’t spike until the pandemic, when consumers were highly focused on their health. But competitors quickly caught up, with fitness-focused companies like Garmin integrating more smart technology. Meanwhile, Apple stumbled in adding compelling new features—getting into some legal spats along the way.

For the past three years, Apple Watch sales have declined year-ove

The ‘living globe’ that can help drones fly without GPS

Before the advent of GPS, especially at sea, navigation meant finding your position by looking up at the stars. Today, when the Global Positioning System isn’t working—or gets jammed by electronic warfare—drones are learning to do something similar, orienting themselves by looking down at the Earth instead.

This concept underpins a growing wave of efforts to use cameras, sensors, and AI to keep drones “aware” of their surroundings, allowing them to complete their missions or

Rover Curiosity vyčenichal rekordně velké organické molekuly na Marsu

Minilaboratoř SAM na palubě roveru Curiosity analyzovala téměř 11 let staré vzorky vyvrtané z kamene „Cumberland.“ Ukázalo se, že obsahují stopové množství organických molekul alkanů, konkrétně dekanu, undekanu a dodekanu. Jasný důkaz přítomnosti života na Marsu to není, protože tyto látky mohou vznikat i abioticky.
