Jensen Huang resigned this morning as Nvidia's CEO following reports of affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy. Right now, the company is being led by its CFO on an interim basis. But President Donald Trump is already throwing around one person he thinks should take over the chipmaking giant: former Apple CEO Tim Cook, who stepped down from leading the company on September 1st and moved into an executive chairman role.
Shortly after Huang's resignation was announced today, Trump posted his idea about Cook on Truth Social: "NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take …
For most new relationships, two weeks probably isn't enough time to decide if you're ready for long-term commitment. But two weeks with a new phone? You probably know. The iPhone Duo launched just over two weeks ago, and that's been enough time for a subset of day-one buyers who aren't loving the phone to make a decision: It's time to end things. Also, they wanted their $2,000 back.
This is to be expected, to an extent; the Duo just isn't a phone for everyone. It's an early adopter device - we called it "a messy, expensive good time" - and on top of that, the hinge appears to be suffering some first-gen growing pains. Despite all that, Appl …
It's the end of the road for the Apple Support Community. The dedicated discussion forum, which gave Apple users a place to exchange advice, troubleshoot, and generally chat about Apple products, has been placed into read-only mode, with a message from the company announcing that the Support Community will shut down for good on November 20th.
Here's the full banner notice that's currently displayed on the website:
"The Apple Support Community will permanently close on November 20, 2026. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new posts and is available in a read-only state. You can continue to find trusted guidance and support on t …
After publishing a support article in early September outlining usage limits for some Apple Intelligence features, the company has updated Logic Pro with an option to "Buy More Usage" for a one-time purchase price of $49.99, as spotted by 9to5Mac. It has a built-in AI assistant to do things like "start a new song, set up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refine an active project."
These Intelligence Usage Packs, as Apple calls them, will allow users to continue accessing certain Apple Intelligence features that have usage limits because they rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini. The Usage Packs can only be used …
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says CEO John Ternus is pressuring AI czar Craig Federighi to accelerate the Siri roadmap and deliver a powerful AI agent that can compete with OpenAI's Dots or Meta's Muse. While Federighi has delivered a functional version of Siri AI on an incredibly short timeline, the company has no illusions that it's keeping pace with its rivals.
Two significant improvements are expected to be made to Siri in the coming months. One will give the assistant fine-grained control over Apple's first-party apps, allowing it to do things like rotate and crop images in Photos and organize Safari tabs. Those capabilities are expected to …

The latest 13-inch MacBook Air is currently available for $1,099.99, marking the second time we’ve seen this $200 discount following the company’s hefty price increases over the summer. Although the base model — which features Apple’s M5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage — often sold for around $950 to $1,000 shortly after it launched in May, savings have been rare since July, making the current deal worth flagging. Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo are all honoring the price across all color options.
If you’d prefer something with a larger screen, a six-speaker array instead of four, and slightly more power (with two additional GPU cores in the M5), Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air is also on sale for $200 off. Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo are each selling the 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD configuration in most colors for $1,299.99.
Although it’s pricier than the newer MacBook Neo, the Air offers better value in numerous ways. It’s an ideal choice if you want faster performance, as it offers double the RAM and a speedier CPU with more cores. You also get twice as much storage, better speakers, a backlit keyboard, and a larger, higher-resolution screen. Given said differences, it’s easy to see how the Air’s improvements might make it worth the extra cost for some people.
If you’re still on the fence, though, I’d recommend reading my colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto’s reviews, both of which were published before the summer price increases.
Code in the iOS 27.3 beta suggests that Apple could add support for chatbots to its smart home hub. There's a flag listed for a "Conversational Apps" category. While there are no details about what apps would fall under that heading, it seems reasonable that AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude could be added to HomeView. According to pdfu on X, that new beta also adds support for bidirectional audio routing and session management, but says it's "still not fully wired up."
Apple has also added anti-spoofing protection that will require a user to authenticate themselves with an iPhone after three failed attempts. It will also have a lockout s …
Apple's iPhone Duo has been officially on sale for two weeks, and the company said today that the App Store now has over 100,000 apps that are built for the foldable.
"It's been wonderful to see how quickly developers have embraced iPhone Duo, and we're grateful for their creativity and innovation," Susan Prescott, Apple's VP of Worldwide Developer Relations, says in a statement. "Today there are well over 100,000 apps built for iPhone Duo already live on the App Store, and thousands of optimized apps are being added to the store each day." Prescott adds that "the enthusiasm has been incredible, and we're excited to see the pace of updates …
A researcher found over 100,000 words and phrases in "every major language" that are blocked from autocomplete and swipe-type in iOS, Reuters reports. The researcher, Derik Kauffman, says you can still type the words on the blocklist one letter at a time. But they won't pop up as predictive text suggestions and iOS's keyboard may automatically alter them when swipe-typing, like changing "left wing conspiracy" to "left wrong conspiracy."
These aren’t even all the foldables in my house right now.
When I first read Allison and Nilay's Verge review of the iPhone Duo, I was immediately struck by one of their complaints: that the cover display is too small. That's not how the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 feels, I thought. Had they got it wrong?
After a week and a half using the Duo, I know exactly what they mean - and it's not the screen's fault at all. Apps that feel comfortable on Samsung's short foldable and the similarly sized Xiaomi 18 Fold are often cramped and compact on the Duo's cover screen, robbed of screen space by a right-hand rail that most apps don't make use of anyway.
That's just one of the ways that Apple's first foldable …

I keep forgetting the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display has a touchscreen. I've been testing this new laptop, one of the most impressive Apple has ever created, for the better part of a week. I can't stop noticing some of its other features: the slimmer design, the improved display, the Dynamic Island that somehow catches my eye more than the notch ever did. But I keep forgetting that as I go about my day, I can now reach out and poke the screen.
Come to think of it, that might be exactly what Apple intended. Steve Jobs said touch laptops were a bad idea; some subset of users demanded one anyway. Now the MacBook Pro has one. But not in a …
I'm a simple guy. I usually work from my MacBook Neo wherever I end up sitting in my house. And while I have monitors, mice, and keyboards to plug it into, I often end up leaning over the MacBook and doing none of that. I rarely even sit at my office desk, which has done wonders for my posture.
But over the past week, I've found myself returning to my desk more and more often to use Apple's latest iMac. With the iMac, I have a far bigger screen and solid built-in speakers that are much better than what I have on my laptop.
When The Verge last reviewed the iMac, we asked: "Who is this for, exactly?" It's still true that it's often cheaper a …

On November 6th, Apple will release an all-new MacBook Pro. It's thinner and lighter and has a beautiful OLED touchscreen. It is very likely what every new MacBook Pro will look like in a couple of years.
The M6 MacBook Pro, which is also out on the 6th, is not that laptop. Instead, it's a straightforward chip bump of Apple's entry-level MacBook Pro, in basically the same chassis Apple's been using since 2021. Everything that was great about the M5 MacBook Pro last year, and the M4 the year before, still applies. The M6 MacBook Pro is still a great all-around computer, and a nice step up from the MacBook Air. Processor, screen, speakers, po …
Apple will start checking iCloud items that are accessible to anyone who has the link for "harmful content" starting with iOS 27.3 and other 27.3 updates, the company says.
"When you share an item that can be accessed by Anyone with the Link in version 27.3 or later of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, that content is made accessible to Apple to check for harmful content," according to a support document reported on by 9to5Mac. Sharing something over iCloud with the "Anyone with the Link" permissions will also mean that it's no longer end-to-end encrypted.
Apple's support document does not define what "harmful content" is. But this new app …

It's impossible to paint a full picture of what Audio Intelligence on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will be right now. The watchOS 27.3 developer beta just dropped earlier this afternoon, and these features are meant to be lived with in day-to-day life. We're definitely going to do that over the next few weeks at The Verge. That said, here are some initial impressions.
What's newly available today is Live Rewind and Siri Recap. The former lets you see a transcript of the last 15 seconds, while the latter provides high-level summaries of your conversations. (The other two Audio Intelligence features have been available for the last f …

After Apple raised iPhone prices earlier this year, a new rumor claims it plans to launch the base iPhone 18 with a higher price, too. A Weibo post from leaker Digital Chat Station, spotted by 9to5Mac, says the base iPhone 18 is getting a couple of upgrades with the price hike, including a larger battery and a new 2-nanometer A20 chip. However, it reportedly won't have the smaller Dynamic Island featured on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
The base iPhone 18 wasn't included in Apple's fall iPhone launch event, but Digital Chat Station claims it will arrive early next year, in line with previous reports. It's rumored to launch alongside a seco …
Apple will now let Siri AI perform actions across third-party apps. As part of the iOS 27.3 update rolling out on Tuesday, Apple announced developers can now integrate Siri AI's new features in "all apps," allowing the voice assistant to draw on a user's personal context, process natural language prompts, and use on-screen awareness to complete requests.
The update, which is rolling out as part of a Developer Preview, also adds a new "app skills" feature that third-party developers can create to combine several tasks into a single action. In Apple's developer documentation, the company says users won't have to mention an app's name in their …
Starting today, Siri can tune into the Apple Watch's mic with Audio Intelligence features that are available in the new watchOS 27.3 developer beta rolling out now. The two new additions are Siri Recap, which uses "ambient listening" to generate summaries of your conversation, and Live Rewind, which generates text transcripts of the last 15 seconds of audio your watch's mic detected.
Apple is also releasing its redesigned Health app for testing today in the iOS 27.3 developer beta, and announced expanded language support in global English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turki …
Originally released in early 2025 as an accessory for the iPad, Moft has redesigned its Dynamic Folio as a case for the iPhone Duo that does more than just protect Apple's folding phone. You can use it to prop the Duo up at several different angles for hands-free use, or reconfigure the Dynamic Folio's origami-like screen cover and use it as a finger grip while you're holding the phone.
The new Dynamic Folio Case for iPhone Duo is now available for preorder through Moft's online store for $89.99 in navy blue or misty cove plus sapphire color options, with shipping expected to start in mid December. That's a small bump in price over Moft's $ …
