Mac mini (2024) review: the M4 Pro is incredibly fast, 16GB+ of RAM, front USB-C, smaller design, and Thunderbolt 5 with M4 Pro, but overpriced spec upgrades

It's a tiny mighty Mac.  —  “That's a computer?!”  My daughter just couldn't believe her eyes when I pulled the new Mac mini out of its box.

I reviewed the new iPad Mini, and I'm harder on it than most.  All I see in this tablet is Apple knowing that people who love the Mini will keep buying the Mini no matter what, and thus doing absolutely nothing to make the product better in any real way https://www.theverge.com/...

iPad mini (2024) review: fast A17 Pro chip, delightful size, and Pencil Pro support, but less powerful than other iPads, outdated Touch ID and camera placement

Apple's smallest tablet got an upgrade — but it won't feel like much of one unless Apple Intelligence is better than it seems.

I went to Vegas to see the world's best spreadsheeters compete for the title of Excel World Champion.  It turned out to be more intense, more fun, and more complex than I ever guessed.  I loved working on this story, and I am OBSESSED with what our design team did with it: https://www.theverge.com/...

Both of these things are true: The new iPad Pro is total overkill for what an iPad can do I love it SO MUCH https://www.theverge.com/...

Apple iPad Pro (2024) review: gorgeous screen, thin, the M4 is fast, and the front camera is in the right spot on the side, but iPadOS lags behind the hardware

Apple's latest high-end tablet is a marvel of hardware design still in need of the software and accessories to really make it sing.

Okay hot take: calling it Gemini would be Google's best naming decision... ever?  Including the name of the company?

A changelog for Bard shows Google plans to rename Bard as Gemini, with an Advanced tier and an Android app

Google Bard is in for a big shakeup in the next few days, as an early changelog reveals that the “Gemini” rebrand is coming next week with a new Android app and more.

I've been using the Arc Search app for while, and it's FASCINATING.  This feels like the way AI search should, and will, work over time — but I also have lots of questions about that https://www.theverge.com/...

The Browser Company releases Arc Search, a new iOS app that takes a user's search query, browses the web, and builds a custom webpage to answer the query

A few minutes ago, I opened the new Arc Search app and typed, “What happened in the Chiefs game.”  That game, the AFC Championship, had just wrapped up.

If Apple can make it socially acceptable, even cool, to wear this in public (and if anyone can it's Apple!) it will be the marketing coup of the millennium

Apple Vision Pro hands-on: eye and hand tracking are very accurate, but typing is frustrating, the killer app is watching movies, can feel heavy after 15+ min

We got hands-on with the device once more before its official launch, with some new features available to test this time.

Looks like Apple did in fact kill Beeper Mini — and I don't get the sense it'll let it come back, either https://www.theverge.com/...

After Beeper Mini's recent outage, Apple says it took steps “to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials” to gain iMessage access

A few days after the team at Beeper proudly announced a way for users to send blue-bubble iMessages directly …

Yeah, Beeper's bet was either that it was impossible to to solve, or that Apple wouldn't stop it for fear of bad PR.  Neither of those were good bets.

Impressive that only 24 hours after weirdly and brutally firing its CEO, OpenAI is already trying to hire one of the biggest names in AI as his successor
