We asked our readers what gadgets they expect Apple to release this year: See the top answers

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 11:00

It's already been a very busy year for Apple. Tim Cook announced he'll be stepping aside for John Ternus, Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. Siri AI finally made its big debut at the WWDC 2026 keynote. The company released a new budget MacBook, and then raised prices just months later.

But, don't forget: We're still expecting the launch of the iPhone 18, the first folding iPhone, and a ton more Apple devices in the back half of the year.

So, Mashable and the rest of the CNET Group (ZDNET, PCMag, CNET, and Lifehacker) are hosting the Big Guessing Game: Apple Edition to give our readers a chance to predict the biggest Apple news. Every correct answer earns you one chance to win the new Apple Watch announced in September. (Read the full content rules.) Ahead of the September iPhone launch event, we have our readers' answers from round two of the game.

Question 1: Will Apple announce that a foldable iPhone will be released in 2026?

The foldable iPhone — rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, or some variation thereof — is the biggest open secret in Silicon Valley right now, but Apple still hasn't confirmed its existence. However, 68 percent of respondents said they expect the phone to arrive this year, while just 32 percent answered in the negative.

Question 2: Will the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max include a black color option this year?

The lack of a black color option was a major disappointment for some Apple fans after the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro. (Scratchgate may have been the reason why.) Rumor has it we won't get a black phone this year either. The breakdown here was almost identical to question one, with 68 percent of you expecting that we will get a black iPhone.

Question 3: Will Apple announce a touchscreen MacBook in 2026?

Rumors of MacBook Pros with OLED screens and touchscreens have been spreading for awhile, and it's very possible these high-end laptops will launch in 2026.

But what do Mashable readers think? Our readers are split on this question, with 55 percent saying yes, and 45 percent saying no.

Question 4: Will Apple release new AirPods in 2026?

On this question, only 26 percent our respondents said no, with the majority (74 percent) answering in the affirmative.

Question 5: Will an M6 series chip be announced in 2026?

An M6 chip is expected to arrive this fall based on Apple's previous schedule of releases. When we posed this question to Mashable readers, 35% predicted we wouldn't see an M6 chip, while 65% believe that we will.

Don't forget to participate in the third and final round of the Big Guessing Game for another chance at winning a new Apple Watch. The last round will take place in the weeks before the iPhone launch event, which we believe will take place in mid-September.

Google has added Nano Banana to Google Earth for some reason

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 10:46

Have you ever explored around Google Earth and thought to yourself, "I wish there were some generative AI features in here?" No? Well, you're getting it anyway.

Google announced that it's integrating Nano Banana, the company's generative AI image creator, directly into Google Earth.

To be more specific, Google has added its latest AI image generation model, Nano Banana 2, to its mapping platform and has rolled out a number of ways that users can utilize AI in Google Earth as well. Nano Banana has proven to be very popular, and Google previously integrated the tool with Chrome, Photos, Search, Gemini Notebook (previously Notebook LM), and Google Messages.

According to Google, Nano Banana in Google Earth can be used for a variety of purposes. Users can ask Nano Banana to:

  • Generate infographics based on specific locations or landmarks

  • View what a location looked like during a certain historical period

  • Generate real estate plans for a lot of land

  • Visualize a project before any construction starts

  • Give a location or even a specific building a makeover

However, our friends at ZDNet received early access to the feature before it launched today and found that the Nano Banana implementation in Google Earth isn't really all that useful. At least not yet.

For example, according to ZDNet, the Create Image button, which deploys Nano Banana in the Google Earth toolbar, isn't provided when in Street View. ZDNet found it was easier to just take a Street View screenshot and paste the image into Gemini for AI image generation.

Furthermore, one of Google's own recommended use cases, "Bring history to life," doesn't appear to be historically accurate. ZDNet had Nano Banana generate the area around Philadelphia's Independence Hall in different time periods. While Nano Banana generated an image with the general look and feel of the time, it didn't seem to pull from any data that would show which buildings were actually around Independence Hall at the time.

The Infographic suggested use case also didn't pan out in ZDNet's tests, either. Generated infographics changed the actual layout of a location in the image and included nonsensical, garbled AI text as well.

The real estate industry has been a fairly big adopter of generative AI imagery, as they can show prospective buyers visualizations of what can be done with a home or plot of land. Google clearly had this in mind for at least some of its suggested use cases. However, Nano Banana in Google Earth seems very much like an early experimental feature at this point.

Victorian Psycho trailer is a brilliant, bloody nightmare

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 10:15

Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, "the sanest person she's ever met," in Victorian Psycho, a bloody horror-comedy that'll have you frankly terrified of the Longlegs and 100 Nights of Hero star.

Described by Mashable entertainment editor Kristy Puchko in her review as "what if gothic horror were an eat-the-rich comedy?" the film follows the plot of a murderess governess (Monroe), appointed to teach the spoiled children of the aristocratic Pounds in late 19th century England.

Directed by Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) with a screenplay by Virginia Feito (on whose 2025 novel the film is based), Victorian Psycho has a brilliant and brutal trailer out today, all scored to Die Spitz's impeccable "Throw Yourself to the Sword."

The Pounds family — played by Jason Isaacs, Ruth Wilson, Wednesday's Evie Templeton, and Hamnet's Jacobi Jupe — have no idea what they're in for with the arrival of Miss Notty. But the trailer gives us a terrible idea.

Victorian Psycho hits cinemas Sept. 25.

DJIs Osmo Pocket 4P has launched globally. But it still isnt coming to the U.S.

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 09:13

DJI has officially launched its Osmo Pocket 4P handheld gimbal camera across the UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia, following its Asian launch earlier this year. It still isn't coming to the U.S., though.

Previously unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in May, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is an upgraded version of the Osmo Pocket 4 released earlier this year, which itself is a successor to 2023's Osmo Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 has become a favourite tool among content creators, with the 4 and 4P intended to build upon its legacy.

SEE ALSO: DJI just unveiled the dual-lens Osmo Pocket 4P cinematic camera at Cannes

However, the Osmo Pocket 4P differentiates itself by having a more professional audience in mind. While it can still be used by creators who focus on making videos for social media, DJI has designed the Pocket 4P with features that specifically appeal to filmmakers and cinematographers.

The Osmo Pocket 4P's most obvious distinguishing feature is its dual lenses. Its main lens is a one-inch CMOS sensor which has 17 stops of dynamic range —  an increase from the 14 stops on the Pocket 4 — while the other is a 60-millimetre telephoto lens suitable for portrait shots. Boasting a maximum resolution of 4K at 240fps, the Pocket 4P also debuts DJI's new 10-bit D-log two-colour profile. The company states that this profile is capable of capturing over one billion colours, giving filmmakers more options and flexibility when it comes to colour grading in post-production.

The Pocket 4P is compatible with the Osmo FrameTap remote as well. Included in the 4P's Vlog Combo bundle, the FrameTap allows users to monitor and control the camera from a distance.

Credit: DJI

DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P will come in both Black and Pearl White colourways, with the latter to arrive at a later date. However, neither colour will be arriving in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

Sadly, the Osmo Pocket 4P doesn't have a U.S. release date, as DJI is still awaiting authorisation to launch from the U.S. government. DJI's U.S. business has been severely impeded by the government's hostility toward the company, which has prevented it from bringing its products to the country. The U.S. has therefore been left out of all of DJI's most recent global launches, including the Mic 3, Osmo Mobile 8 phone gimbal, and Avata 360 drone.

As such, there's no official U.S. pricing for the Osmo Pocket 4P. However, the official UK pricing places it at £529 (approximately $706) for the Standard Combo bundle, and £605 (approximately $807) for the Vlog Combo. In comparison, the Osmo Pocket 4 Standard Combo costs £445 (approximately $594), with the Vlog Combo priced at £548 (approximately $731).

Lego is livestreaming a Pokémon Smart Play demo on July 31 — how to watch

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 08:17

TL;DR: Lego is livestreaming a demo of its new Pokémon Smart Play sets on July 31 at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT, just ahead of the collection's official Aug. 1 launch.

If you're the kind of person who still gets excited seeing Pikachu, Lego's new Pokémon Smart Play sets are about to make your day. Lego is livestreaming a demo of the collection, giving fans a first look at how these sets work before they officially launch Aug. 1.

The demo streams July 31 at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT on Lego's site. If you're near a Lego Store, it's also worth stopping by during the stream — Lego says visitors can score extra rewards on that day.

What makes these sets so much fun

Mashable's Timothy Werth got hands-on with the sets ahead of launch, and by his own account, he came away completely won over — despite not even being a big Pokémon fan going in.

The sets are built around Lego's Smart Brick, a modified 2x4 piece packed with an accelerometer, microphones, speakers, LED lights, a gyroscope, and a color sensor. It responds to Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures included in the sets, meaning your Pokémon can "talk" to each other, and light up or make noises as you play with them.

According to Werth, some of the small details are what really sell it: Pikachu, Squirtle, Bidoof, Geodude, Charmander, and Eevee all make adorable noises, chattering when placed near each other, and the Pikachu Treehouse Set even hides a tiny Murphy bed where Pikachu can lie down and snore.

However, not every set includes a Smart Brick, so if you want the interactive features, you'll need at least one all-in-one set (starting at $69.99) — cheaper add-on sets start at $19.99. The full lineup launches Aug. 1, with a few sets already on Amazon and the rest up for preorder at Lego's online store.

Even a casual Pokémon fan will get something out of this — Aug. 1 is coming for your wallet either way.

Seth Meyers reacts to Trump being called a pedophile protector

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 07:43

Seth Meyers had a lot of Donald Trump material to wade through during his "A Closer Look" Late Night segment on Wednesday, from the president having to sit through some awkward press awards at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to Trump's unusual remarks during the memorial of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Another area that he spent some time on? Trump being called a "pedophile protector" during a recent rally, due to his association with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — the president responded by calling the heckler a "communist".

"If someone calls you a 'pedophile protector', calling them a communist is not a great comeback. 'You're covering up for sex traffickers!' 'Oh yeah, well you want the workers to own the means of production, soooo ya burnt!" says Meyers in the clip above.

"Trump just can't get away from this Epstein thing. It's in his rallies, press conferences, Correspondents' Dinner...You know the new Trump coin they're releasing? He OK'd it before flipping it over and checking the other side," Meyers jokes, bringing up a photoshopped image of the coin engraved with one of the many photos of Trump and Epstein together.

Kesha, the internets tooth fairy, wants your teeth

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 07:02

These days, Pokémon cards are harder to come by than human teeth, the latter being a longtime outré collectible of choice for pop star Kesha.

The Grammy-nominated artist has been collecting fans' teeth via X since 2011 (when it was Twitter), per Complex. And on Wednesday, Kesha renewed her collection's crowdsourcing mode, hitting X with a casual PO box for fans to send over their personal pegs.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: Why BTS is skipping the Grammys

Kesha's love for collecting human incisors, canines, and molars started back in 2011, when her album Animal was topping every chart and a fan sent her a tooth (on Kesha's request) that the pop star made into a necklace — a moment that became a legendary Twitter post.

Las Culturistas podcast hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang asked Kesha about the lore around her tooth fairy collection during the latest episode (it came up when they were talking about narwhals).

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"Do you know that I collect teeth?" she said. "Send 'em over."

"The teeth started when I became obsessed with my fans," Kesha added. "Someone was like, 'My child lost their teeth.' And I was like, ‘Can I have them? I want to make jewellery out of it.' So then I made a necklace, an earring, and then a belt, and then a crown. The crown's wild."

Kesha told Yang and Rogers she just "started putting [teeth] all over my home," where they're held "in little jars."

"I just started collecting them because it kind of freaks out straight men," she said.

There's honestly no better way to say it than Rogers and Yang chanting in unison: "She's a pop star and she needs your teeth." You've got the PO box address.

Daily Show breaks down Trumps bizarre speech at Lindsey Grahams memorial

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 05:58

Donald Trump has already made plenty of confusing comments in response to the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, so it's probably no big surprise that his memorial speech went the way it did.

In the Daily Show clip above, host Jordan Klepper breaks down some of the most memorable moments, starting with the president saying: "Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody, but it sounds good."

"I can't believe I have to say this to Donald Trump, but can you just lie to us?" says Klepper. "It's a memorial, you could paint a rosier picture. I didn't go to my Uncle Lou's funeral and tell everyone he was the Zodiac Killer, I said he was good with numbers."

Klepper then plays a clip of Trump describing how he shared Graham's personal cell phone number back in 2016 when the two were feuding.

"OK, interesting choice," says Klepper. "I might have chosen a moment that highlights Lindsey's character, but I guess the time he got 10,000 calls from guys named Mike Roch and Hugh Jazz is also equally good."

An Oscars trivia question has X united in pedantry

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 05:57

If you've ever been to a pub quiz or a trivia night, you know folks can get granular on the details. And one X user's experience has struck a chord with fellow trivia fiends.

On Thursday, film critic Mattie Lucas (@cinemattie) posted of her experience at a local trivia night, in which punters were seemingly asked to answer one question: "Who won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2025?"

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Sounds simple enough, but if your whole category of prowess is entertainment, you're going to take issue with the phrasing of such a question.

"I asked 'for the ceremony that happened in 2025, or the year 2025?'" wrote @cinemattie. "And everyone turned to look at me like '...fuck.'"

Lucas was right to raise her hand on this. To clarify, the Oscars honour films released through the previous calendar year. So the 98th Academy Awards, held in March 2026, gave out the gold to films from 2025. The 97th Academy Awards, held in March 2025, awarded films from 2024.

So, in Lucas' trivia case, the answer could have been Mikey Madison for Anora (Best Actress at the 97th Academy Awards, held in 2025), or Jessie Buckley for Hamnet (Best Actress at the 98th Academy Awards, for a film that came out in 2025). (Lucas got it right.)

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Lucas' tweet really resonated with fellow trivia-goers on X, gaining 1.2 million views and a flood of comments backing her up.

Wolfbox just launched a new off-road air compressor, and it's already on sale — right now the HyperFlow 60D is $299.99 at Amazon. That's a 19% discount, saving you $70.

It's built specifically for off-roaders, overlanders, truck owners, and RV travelers who've dealt with cheaper compressors overheating or slowing down mid-use. The HyperFlow60D can run nonstop for up to 60 minutes, which is enough to air up all 16 tires on a 4-vehicle group trip. That's handy if you're with a group and don't want everyone standing around waiting between vehicles.

Thanks to dual 60mm cylinders and a 1080W motor, it can take a 37-inch off-road tire from 10 to 40 PSI (pounds per square inch) in under three minutes, or top off a smaller trailer tire in about a minute. The dual cooling fans make the long runtime possible by keeping the motor from overheating, even during back-to-back use.

For setting your pressure, there's a digital display that shows your PSI in real-time, and you can set a target and walk away — it automatically shuts off once it hits your number, accurate within a couple of PSI. At 18 pounds, it's light enough to toss in a truck bed or RV storage without much thought.

This compressor doesn't quit — grab Wolfbox HyperFlow 60D Portable Air Compressor at Amazon before it's back to full price.

Beat the incoming FCC ban: Save $400 on Roborock’s Qrevo S5V robot vacuum at Amazon

SAVE $400: As of July 30, the Roborock Qrevo S5V is on sale for $499.99 at Amazon. That's a 44% discount on the list price.

The big news in the world of robot vacuums is that the FCC has banned all foreign-made mobile robots in the U.S. The ban doesn't revoke FCC authorization for previously approved devices, meaning you can continue to buy robot vacuum models already on the market. But that stock will drop, and prices might start to climb as a result.

Robot vacuum deals have never been more important. As of July 30, the Roborock Qrevo S5V has dropped from $899.99 to $499.99 at Amazon. According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price for this model.

It's a powerful robot vacuum that uses 12,000Pa HyperForce suction alongside a brushless motor to lift stubborn dirt and pet hair. It also uses optimized airflow to reach awkward areas where dust might gather, such as under furniture or in hard-to-reach corners. The FlexiArm design is also well-suited for this, allowing the mop pads to extend into corners and around furniture.

The Qrevo S5V also benefits from an all-in-one smart dock. This is where all device maintenance is managed. It automatically recharges, empties dust into a storage bin for up to 10 weeks, washes and dries the mop pads, and refills the water tank for continuous cleaning.

Navigation is also handled automatically, thanks to the LiDAR scanning and structured light sensors. This allows the robot to create maps and avoid obstacles as it moves around your home. And all this can be managed through the Roborock app, where you can schedule cleans, set no-go zones, and adjust settings.

T-Mobile is giving away the new Motorola Razr for free — how to claim (without a trade-in)

Thu, 07/30/2026 - 05:00

TL;DR: The Motorola Razr is free with T-Mobile. To qualify for this limited-time promo, simply activate a new line on an Experience More plan.

We're in the age of foldables. Samsung just dropped a bunch of new foldable devices at Samsung Unpacked, everyone is expecting Apple to do the same at their next event, and Motorola has quietly released some of the best folding phones around.

If you're interested in the latter, T-Mobile has a deal you should carefully consider.

For a limited time, T-Mobile is giving away the new Motorola Razr for free. The best part? You don't need to trade anything in to qualify for this offer. You simply need to activate a new line on T-Mobile's Experience More plan. It's as easy as that.

Of course, T-Mobile isn't handing over the phone without some strings attached. Each month, your statement will display a standard finance charge for the phone, followed by an equal credit that balances that charge. You're essentially signing up for a two-year commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or upgrade to a different plan before the end of the 24-month period, the remaining unpaid balance will become due immediately.

Is the Motorola Razr right for you? The 3.6-inch outer screen is big enough to check notifications, reply to texts, and glance at maps without opening the device. Pair that with a dual 50MP camera setup and a 4,800mAh battery that easily outlasts most compact foldables, and you get a snappy daily driver that actually fits in a front pocket.

Score the new Motorola Razr for free with T-Mobile.
