This September, we are getting the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which will be announced on stage by Apple’s new CEO John Ternus and other key executives. The rumor mill has been painting a pretty exciting picture for the upcoming device, which will likely get the largest battery on an iPhone so far, snatch a new 2nm chipset, and get a camera with variable aperture. Oh, and it might come in a classy red hue. As a person who has been using the iPhone 13 Pro Max for the better part of three years, I can frankly admit that if I was still…
Palantir hosted a hack week this spring to try to turn internal consternation over the company’s work with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into clearer oversight tools for products used in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, according to material reviewed by WIRED.The new tools provide organizations, including DHS and ICE, more information on how their workers use Palantir software. Organizations can set up alerts for “concerning behavior,” like exfiltrating datasets, and search the session logs of individual users. They also allow organizations to see which users have viewed specific sets of information.Palantir declined…
Microsoft’s multiplatform push and its promise that Project Helix will play PC games have left some core Xbox fans panicking about the platform’s pivot away from traditional console gaming. They might take comfort, then, in Xbox’s new chief strategy officer’s belief that console gaming remains “important, durable, and still growing.” That was a sentiment Matthew Ball shared with Bloomberg today in some of his first on-the-record comments since joining Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s leadership team this week. He said his focus is on reviving storied franchises and strengthening Xbox’s console business, a mission he found “irresistible” as a long-time gamer…
Storage furniture is too often drab and functional, intended to blend into the background of your home. Mustard Made is an exception. The company’s storage lockers come in a variety of loud colors that announce themselves in a room.Mustard Made makes some of our favorite storage solutions here on the WIRED Reviews team, especially when it comes to outfitting our overflowing home offices. Julian Chokkattu from the WIRED Gear team takes Zoom meetings from a space full of high-end office chairs and brand-new gadgets, and yet my residual image of his home office will always be the stylish yellow Mustard…

Blow me Down! Techsperts were curious just how much power is in the A18 processor at the heart of the MacBook Neo and set about ensuring that heat was not a problem. They did this by removing the system from it’s case, attaching a peltier cooler to the SoC with PTM7950 phase-change thermal paste in between and a massive amount of heatsinks to that peltier. In order to keep that heat moving away from the heavily modified MacBook Neo they stuck it beside an industrial blower, the type you see restoration companies using after a flood. This exercise in excess…
Earlier this month, I got to play the upcoming remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag at a Ubisoft-hosted event in San Francisco. While there, I got a chance to chat with Black Flag Resynced‘s creative director, Paul Fu; game director Richard Knight; and Anvil engine architect Nicolas Lopez. We talked about a lot of stuff, but I also asked them to share their opinions on something people online continue to debate: What is the difference between a remake and a remaster? When talking to Lopez and Fu, they both clarified that Black Flag Resynced is a completely new game that…
It’s a beautiful, balmy afternoon at Dolores Park in San Francisco, and I’m singing a birthday song to a prehistoric dinosaur. A cupcake with a pink candle magically appears in my empty hand as I finish my serenade. When I blow out the flame, a calm look of contentment washes over the CGI-esque creature.While the man in this AI video looks and sounds just like me, the clip was actually generated using one of the new features available in Google’s Gemini app: avatars. These digital recreations are similar to the core features of OpenAI’s now-defunct Sora app. It’s a digital…
SpaceX, the company behind the Starlink satellite constellation powering T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, dropped the filing for its initial public offering on Wednesday. The disclosure revealed several previously unknown details that show the Big Three may have miscalculated its true trajectory.What’s glaringly obvious is that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon will need to do a lot more than form an alliance or downplay satellite tech if they want to keep SpaceX from eating their lunch.SpaceX has 9,600 Starlink broadband and mobile satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO)SpaceX has already partnered with 30 global network operators to conquer dead zones. Its satellite-to-mobile constellation is…
Many Assassin’s Creed fans (and lovers of pirate adventures) were excited when Ubisoft finally, after many leaks, announced the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake. But then Ubisoft confirmed some bad news: The new remake, out in July on consoles and PC, wouldn’t include a remade version of that game’s Freedom Cry DLC. It’s a disappointing decision, but it does sound like it’s possible the side-adventure starring slave-turned-pirate assassin Adewale might still happen…one day. Originally released as DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag back in 2013, Freedom Cry stars Adewale, a major side character featured in the main game,…
