Sorry, But Meta's Muse Charm Will Never Have the Same Magic as a Tamagotchi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following last week's reveal of the Muse Charm, the internet was quick to dub it the "AI Tamagotchi." However, I consider that slander against the classic Bandai-owned brand. Equating these collectible—and often hackable—virtual pets with a fever-dream Meta gadget erases the analog rituals associated with collecting Tamagotchi, a haven amid all the AI noise. Meta's unpopularity makes the related Tamagotchi discourse even worse. I've already seen social media posts about "pervert Tamagotchi," a p
Apple iPhone 18 Pro vs. iPhone Duo: To Fold or Not to Fold, That Is the Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apple's folding phone is finally (well, almost) here. The phone goes up for preorder on Oct. 16 and reaches stores on Oct. 23. That means you have until then to decide if the iPhone Duo is the right phone for you or if you should settle for the yearly refresh of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Both slab-style phones have proven their worth in our detailed reviews, offering outstanding performance, long-lasting batteries, and top-notch cameras.

Following last night's reveal of the Muse Charm, a wearable AI pendant, the internet can't stop calling it the "AI Tamagotchi." I consider that slander against the classic Bandai-owned brand and what's made it an enduring digital toy. Equating these collectible—and often hackable—virtual pets to a fever-dream Meta gadget erases the analog rituals developed around collecting Tamagotchi as a haven amid all the AI noise
Qualcomm Splits Its First 2nm Snapdragon Flagship Chip Into Two (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Qualcomm's next-generation mobile chips are getting a massive architectural overhaul. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, revealed today, are the company's first chips built on a 2nm process, engineered specifically to handle the complex workloads of agentic AI without draining the system. The silicon does more than help AI perform. Both devices introduce the 6G modem to the mass market. The Elite Extreme Gen 6 also includes 18MB of High Performance Memory (HPM) and dedicated
The iPhone 18 Pro Finally Killed My Small Phone Battery Anxiety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every iPhone launch can feel like more of the same: Another round of reliable hardware, an aesthetic everyone else wants to match, and a hardware-software symbiosis you can only get from a manufacturer that controls every facet of the factory line. But that doesn't mean the iPhone 18 Pro (starting at $1,199) isn't exciting, especially when you consider how Apple eclipses its Android competition in design, battery endurance, hardware performance, and camera capabilities. It brings manual camera f
