Apple is testing an iPhone 19 Pro with a screen that curves on all four edges, a leak from China has claimed. According to Weibo-based Digital Chat Station, the 2027-generation Pro device, currently in the evaluation phase, features a cutout in the display for the front camera. Still, Face ID is completely hidden under the panel. This claim is notable because several reports suggest that Apple is planning to launch a 20th-anniversary iPhone next year, featuring a quad-curved display with no cutouts. It’s not yet clear whether Apple plans to position the commemorative model as an ultra-premium tier above its…

It is on track to post revenue of $10.9 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. Anthropic is on track to post $10.9 billion in revenue for the quarter ending in June, double the first quarter’s revenue, according to The Wall Street Journal.

If you’re tired of the soulless sound produced by your TV speakers, a simple solution is to add a soundbar. Requiring little setup, you can have one of the best soundbars money can buy and be up and running in just a few minutes – and we’re willing to bet that the first movie or show you test will sound way better than your TV could ever deliver on its own. That said, a soundbar isn’t a be-all and end-all for dull audio. Although easy to connect, most systems don’t offer the same level of immersion and channel separation…
Google didn’t forget AI creators during its latest round of Gemini announcements at Google I/O.

Finally, the Google I/O announcement you’ve been waiting for. As Google transforms search into an AI-driven experience, it was only a matter of time before AI-powered ads came into play. As part of its Google I/O week announcements, the company previewed how Gemini-powered conversational ads will begin appearing in search results.

The company explains to its advertisers that “your ad answers a person’s specific…

The AI agent is being rolled out to testers this week. Google announced a “24/7 personal AI agent” called Gemini Spark at this year’s I/O developer conference.

You can teach it to perform various tasks, such as creating a list of critical deadlines in your Gmail and sending it to you, or writing a summary of current updates in long…
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a unique Wi-Fi setup that allows them to estimate human movements through walls and dense objects. What’s interesting is that they don’t need expensive equipment, like specialized LiDAR devices or cameras, to make this work. They were able to achieve this with low-cost $30 Wi-Fi routers and receivers, which raises some privacy concerns. Leveraging a tool called DensePose from Facebook’s AI Lab, the system analyzes invisible Wi-Fi radio signals that permeate a space and creates a visual model. Radio signals broadcast by a Wi-Fi router naturally bounce off objects and people, and the…
