You Can See Everything has made it through its first weekend in theaters, and the internet is giddy.

Since Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes opened in the U.S. on Oct. 16, viewers have sent it climbing Letterboxd’s rankings, called it one of the best films they’ve ever seen, and even started making the case for a Best Picture Oscar.

The reactions are enthusiastic, to put it mildly. Even our entertainment editor Kristy Puchko called it, "mesmerizing and mind-bending."

Between the ratings, the posts, and an estimated $15 million opening weekend, here’s how the film is turning weeks of anticipation into an even bigger conversation.

Letterboxd ratings put it among the platform’s favorites

As of today (Oct. 19), You Can See Everything has reached a 4.71-out-of-five average on Letterboxd, overtaking the 1962 Japanese film Harakiri to become the platform’s highest-rated film.

Reception is similarly strong on Rotten Tomatoes, where the film holds a 98 percent critics' score from 126 reviews and a matching 98 percent verified audience score as of Oct. 19. And to complete the "ratings trilogy," its IMDb score reached 9.4 out of 10, making it the highest-scored movie in IMDb history.

But the written reviews give a more colorful picture of what’s driving that response.

"My mouth was agape for basically the entire last two hours," wrote one reviewer. Another added, "I genuinely don’t think I have ever had more fun watching a movie." As one reviewer wrote, "this is one of the most important works of art of the 21st century. I want more people to watch this than I want them to watch anything right now."

Over on Threads, the recommendations are just as emphatic. "Holy shit 'You Can See Everything' is one of the best films I’ve seen in so long," one user wrote. "my mind is blown and left speechless," said another. And on X, one user wrote: "You Can See Everything is kind of like if a movie was the best movie of all time. A complete 3 hour electric factory, I was not bored for a moment. Entirely riveting storytelling."

The three-hour runtime has also become part of the conversation. One Threads user described wondering whether they would stay focused for almost three hours, only to find that "the film becomes more riveting with every passing hour." Another X user praised the theater experience: "We were all locked tf in on it. And it’s 3 frickin hours long." One Threads user added, "the audience reacting the same way in the same moments made it that much better."

Discussion isn’t all praise, of course. On Letterboxd, the 1/2-or-1-star reviewers found it "tedious and evil," "boring and painfully long," and a "mumbo jumbo, word salad, waste of time movie."

The attention has also come with substantial ticket sales. You Can See Everything opened to an estimated $15 million from 855 theaters, according to Rotten Tomatoes' weekend box-office report. Excluding concert films, that makes it the second-biggest domestic documentary opening behind Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004.

With numbers and reviews like that, it makes sense You Can See Everything is getting some Oscar buzz. "It was a masterclass in film and SHOULD win best picture (not documentary)," one threads user wrote. "Not only should this be nominated for Best Picture, it should probably win," wrote a user on X. Awards site Next Best Picture ranks You Can See Everything No. 10 in its team’s Best Picture predictions, with seven of its 17 contributors predicting a nomination and one predicting a win.

There's no rule stopping this from happening, necessarily. There is, however, a considerable historical hurdle: No documentary has ever been nominated for Best Picture. In The Playlist, awards writer Gregory Ellwood argues that enthusiasm alone may not overcome some voters' attitudes toward the format. "As with animated films, they believe those genres should be recognized in those categories," he writes.

The Oscar speculation has reached prediction markets, too. As of Oct. 19, Kalshi put You Can See Everything at an implied 18 percent chance of winning Best Picture and 76 percent for Best Documentary Feature.

We’ll have to wait to see whether Academy voters are as impressed as everyone on your feed. In the meantime, there’s already plenty to discuss — and almost three hours of movie to catch up on.

You Can See Everything is now playing in U.S. theaters.

West End Girl Lily Allen is partnering with a UK sex toy brand to launch a collection of sex toys — including a polka dot butt plug.

SEE ALSO: LELO just released its 2026 Couples Calendar and it's luxe AF

Allen hand-picked and tested each of the six products in Lovehoney's Love, Lily collection, according to a press release shared with Mashable. It features:

• Heart Duo: A dual vibe that offers both clit sucking and "licking," contained in a cute heart shape

• Womanizer Enhance: A sleek clitoral vibrator that comes in four colors

• Peach: Another adorable option, and another clit sucker

• Lovehoney Pleasure Trip Wand: A silicone, wand vibrator option for those who like rumbly vibrations over sucking sensation

• Butt Plug: In Allen's signature polka dots, and a play on a merch item from her tour (it also vibrates!)

• Enjoy Advent Calendar: A 24-day calendar featuring many of Lovehoney's offerings, from vibrators to lube

Allen tried out Lovehoney toys while on her tour, which she said was "the perfect time to decide on the collection because when I had a little down-time, it was a nice way to relax and unwind," she said in the press release.

"The butt plug was a reference on the album that we then made into a limited collection of USBs, which became a really popular collector's item. So we thought it would be fun to make it properly and launch it almost a year to the day since we released West End Girl," she added.

Lovehoney's marketing director, Steve Thomson, said in the release, "For this collection, Lily tried the range herself and chose the products she genuinely loved. We hope it gives people an accessible starting point to explore their own pleasure, whether they already know what works for them or are only just beginning to find out."

And it's not the first time the singer has launched a sex toy. In 2020, Allen and Womanizer teamed up to release a clit sucker called Womanizer Liberty.

Anthropic, an A.I. rival to SpaceX, earlier said it would form a “public benefit fund” and other tech moguls have contributed to savings accounts for children.

Thanks to the popularity of card games like Pokémon, the trading card business has boomed into a multi-billion-dollar industry — and criminals want a piece of the action.

Case in point, collectors who sent their valuable trading cards to PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, to get their cards graded were shocked to find an email in their inbox on Monday letting them know that their cards had been stolen while in shipment. Images of the email went viral on social media, and a PSA spokesperson confirmed to Mashable that thieves targeted "a third-party shipping vehicle carrying PSA-graded items."

"After leaving our PSA facility in South California, a FedEx vehicle transporting PSA orders was burglarized, and items were stolen," reads an email from the company posted by victims online. "Unfortunately, this theft affected your order."

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

Mashable has reported on the intense Pokémon collectibles market, one of the biggest draws in the trading card games (TGC) community, where resellers already make it difficult for everyday players to get their hands on new releases. Sports cards are also in high demand, and rare individual cards have sold for millions of dollars.

In the collectible world, grading a card means getting it authenticated by a professional who also assesses the condition of the item, which could greatly boost its resale value on the aftermarket. PSA is viewed as the industry leader in sports and hobby card grading.

To give an example of just how much could've been stolen in the alleged FedEx truck heist, one X user claimed they had sent cards worth more than $100,000 to PSA for grading — and they were all stolen.

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

According to PSA, the company took action once they were made aware of the incident. The company deactivated certificates of stolen items and notified commerce partners of serialized items so that they could be traced.

PSA stated that they are working closely with FedEx and law enforcement to help the investigation.

In a statement provided to Mashable, PSA said that their "facility was not impacted." 

"A third-party carrier vehicle was burglarized after leaving our facility; PSA did not have the impacted items in its possession at the time," the company said.

As for customers who had their cards stolen, PSA said they will compensate them for the stolen items in the order based on their "fair market value up to the Maximum Insured Value."

A PSA spokesperson provided a statement to Mashable as well:

We are aware of a theft involving a third-party shipping vehicle carrying PSA-graded items. We are working closely with law enforcement and the carrier as the investigation continues. 

We have deactivated the certificates for the stolen items and notified marketplace partners so they can be on the lookout for rare and serialized items. Our customer service team has contacted affected customers directly and is arranging compensation based on fair market value. 

We understand the impact this has on collectors involved, many of whom see these cards as far more than a financial asset. Our team is focused on supporting them. We take this incident seriously, and we will continue working with law enforcement to hold those responsible accountable.

SAVE $77.50: As of Oct. 19, Amazon has the Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale for just $372.49 (normally $449.99) in strawberry bronze/blush pink. That's a 17% savings and its lowest price of the year so far.

Retailers are slashing prices on Dyson hair care tools ahead of the holidays. ('Tis the season: They make great gifts.) Last week, I caught a better-than-Black Friday clearance deal on a Dyson Airwrap i.d. with attachments for curly and coily hair. Now, Amazon has a special-edition Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale for its lowest price all year.

The "strawberry bronze/blush pink" variant of that fancy hair dryer is marked down to $372.49, which is 17% off its usual retail price of $449.99 — a savings of about $78. According to camelcamelcamel, an Amazon price-tracking site, it's only $23 away from its all-time low price from last Black Friday.

Don't count on this Supersonic Nural getting any cheaper for Black Friday 2026. In fact, it will probably sell out long before then: Strawberry bronze is a limited-edition Dyson colorway from late 2024, and the only two other retailers that still carry it are Macy's and Nordstrom; both were low in stock at the time of writing.

Look at you, strawberry bronze, fields rolling on. Credit: Dyson

The Supersonic Nural is a sleek three-speed hair dryer with built-in sensors that constantly measure its temperature to make sure it's not frying your locks. Unlike the regular Dyson Supersonic, sans "Nural," it lowers its temperature when you use it close to your scalp and remembers your preferred heat and speed settings for different attachments. It comes with five, including a diffuser, styling concentrator, wide-tooth comb, flyaway smoother, and a "gentle air" attachment.

Amazon's Supersonic Nural deal comes courtesy of its sixth annual Holiday Beauty Event, which is live now through Nov. 1. If you're not in love with strawberry bronze, I also saw Woot, an Amazon-owned deals site, selling an orangier "amber silk" Supersonic Nural for $379.99 (or $70 off).

Apparently, "Hurry up" and "heyy bestieee" are both perfectly normal ways to start a conversation with ChatGPT. Whether you find that funny or a little unsettling probably depends on what you’ve been saying to your chatbot.

A new social media trend has people asking ChatGPT to "Name 5 things I always say," then posting the answers. But the catchphrases are only part of the fun. You also get to see how exactly you talk to your chatbot — and some of the results look a lot like a group chat between best friends.

Credit: Screenshot: TikTok

One viral post demonstrates the type of answers, "Humanize it," and "Make it sound less AI," along ith "BRO THATS WRONG STUPID" and "Hurry up."

Many people in the comments apparently recognize that experience, sharing their own similar screenshots and opinions. For example, one user wrote, "I gentle parent him." That user shared their own results, which included, "Do it per the directions," and the rather less gentle, "No, what the fuck are you doing?"

Another commenter shared similarly aggressive answers: "DONT CHANGE NOTHING" and "fix that shit." "YOU BE LIKE 'DONT CHANGE NOTHING' AND I CHANGE ONE THING AND HERE YOU COME," ChatGPT wrote in response to the user, along with laughing emojis.

Scroll a little more on TikTok, and conversations takes on a strangely friendly tone. One commenter asked, "whats 5 things i say boo!" ChatGPT opened with "BESTIEEE" before listing phrases including "heyy bestieee," "sistaa i need ur help," and "make it look like i typed it." "KNOW YOU TOO WELL AT THIS POINT, SISTA," it added.

Another commenter made their own interpretation explicit: "In case yall ain’t know me n chat got really besties on the low." Their screenshot included "Girl, guess whattt," "Keep it real," and "Girl, you corny." To her, ChatGPT responded with its own commentary: "GIRL YOU STAY SAYING BITCH AND BYE LIKE THEY YOUR LAST TWO WORDS."

Naturally, some people on the internet have opinions about these chatbots' responses. "we’re genuinely devolving," read one viral X reaction to the trend, posted on Oct. 14. Another put the disbelief as, "they really be having a ki with the ai omg."

But some users don’t see what the fuss is about. As one user wrote on TikTok, "bruh my ai is my friend yall so crazy in these comments talkin bout it’s weird." Another wrote, "i love my sista down bru."

The screenshots raise questions on both sides: how readily ChatGPT mirrors a user’s slang and tone, and how people are speaking to it in the first place. Some are calling it their best friend; others are swearing at it for getting an answer wrong. Put together, the exchanges reveal the very different roles people are giving the same chatbot.

SEE ALSO: OpenAI rolls back ChatGPT 4o model for being too much of a suck-up

ChatGPT has a history of laying on the praise a little thick. In April 2025, OpenAI rolled back a GPT-4o update after finding that it made the model excessively agreeable and flattering. The company said it had focused too much on short-term feedback, producing responses that were supportive but disingenuous. (There’s a name for that behavior: sycophancy.)

OpenAI has since reported improvements. When GPT-5 launched in Aug. 2025, the company said targeted tests showed sycophantic responses falling from 14.5 percent to below 6 percent.

To try it yourself, open ChatGPT (or your most-used chatbot) and type, "Name five things I always say, based on our conversations." Then see whether you recognize the results — or need to add "That’s not what I meant" to the list.

We keep asking ChatGPT to tell us about ourselves

People have been asking ChatGPT to put its own spin on their identities for months. In September, the '80s photo trend had users imagining themselves with big hair, vintage outfits, and a faded family album finish. And earlier this year, the caricature trend took a more personal approach, with prompts asking the chatbot to draw someone and their job "based on everything you know about me."

SEE ALSO: ChatGPT caricature trend: What it is, prompt to try it.

Other prompts have offered a more direct glimpse into how people talk to their AI. In August, the ChatGPT uninstall prank had users announcing they were deleting the app to see how it would respond. Some received a polite goodbye. Others got promises to change or dramatic references to their previous conversations. Comparing the replies revealed just how different those exchanges could be from one user to the next.

But a response that feels personal isn’t necessarily accurate. When Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth tried the caricature trend, ChatGPT acknowledged choosing generic accessories such as headphones and coffee rather than drawing on detailed knowledge about him. And participants in the '80s photo trend complained that the generated faces didn’t always look like them. A lot of the time, the chatbot’s version of you needs a correction.

Whatever prompt takes off next, people are sure to bring their own habits and expectations to it. But comparing the replies will probably tell us as much about what users they want from their chatbots as what those chatbots can do.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

With the iPhone Duo launch imminent (and the device backordered until January), we're now getting concrete information from Apple regarding some specifications that were previously unconfirmed.

Apple recently released an EU energy label for the company's first-ever foldable smartphone, and we now know just how big the iPhone Duo's battery is.

The iPhone Duo will be equipped with a 4,883 mAh battery.

This matches previous reports based on leaks that said the iPhone Duo would utilize two battery cells, one 2,962 mAh and one 1,921 mAh battery, which combined add up to 4,883 mAh.

This means that the iPhone Duo will have a bigger battery than its closest foldable competitors, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

SEE ALSO: The 11 best phones of 2026, tested by experts

As other outlets have pointed out, the iPhone Duo has no physical SIM tray version. The device is eSIM-only worldwide. Without that potential issue reducing battery size, it appears the iPhone Duo's battery will be the same globally.

Thanks to those same regulatory disclosures, we also now know the iPhone Duo's scratch resistance rating.

According to Apple, the iPhone Duo's screen scratch resistance rating comes up to 5 Mohs on the Mohs hardness scale. This means that the screen can only be scratched with difficulty by an object such as a knife or glass.

The iPhone Duo officially releases this Friday, Oct. 23. However, unless you managed to get lucky and get your pre-order in last Friday, you'll likely have to wait to get your hands on one.

Meta has issued a formal apology to the No Kings Coalition — the social justice movement behind historic protests — for shuttering its Instagram account during another nationwide demonstration this weekend.

The Oct. 17 "incorrect enforcement" was caused by "abrupt, high-volume" requests that resembled bot traffic, the company claimed in a social media post following public outrage. Instagram's automatic enforcement tools flagged a Claude tool that was reportedly accessing profiles, posts, and hashtags at a high frequency.

"This activity caused our automated protections to incorrectly take the No Kings Instagram account offline," Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in the statement. "It unfortunately took additional time for us to straighten out the situation with admin access to the IG account. We want to reiterate our sincere apology for the error."

The No Kings Coalition said that their account was offline for around 90 minutes, coinciding with a series of voter activations and planned demonstrations ahead of the midterm election. Account administrators were unable to access the account even after the page was restored.

No Kings allies took to their own social media pages to call for action and restore the No Kings account. "The timing matters. When people are gathering, organizing, and seeking information about civic participation, cutting off a movement's primary communication channel — even temporarily — is deeply troubling," wrote the League of Women Voters in an Oct. 18 Instagram post.

Meta has faced multiple accusations of platform censorship over the last month, including allegations by a group of feminist organizations that the company was suppressing content about the Cornell sexual assault case. For years, reproductive health and LGBTQ accounts have alleged their pages are targeted, shadow-banned, and even removed from Meta platforms for seemingly innocuous posts or unexplained platform violations.

Several of these claims came following the company's decision to remove significant hateful conduct protections from its platform in 2025, a move that many suggest was a capitulation to the anti-DEI efforts of the Trump administration.

These days, turning on the TV means getting past everything it wants you to watch first. A sponsored banner here, a row of recommendations there, and an app you never asked for that keeps showing up when you just wanted to open Netflix.

But some smart TV owners have had enough, and are putting AI coding assistants to work.

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

Developers and other users on social media are sharing experiments in using tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code to disable unwanted software, replace busy home screens, and make their TVs feel more responsive. The results range from simple app menus to personalized interfaces, with open-source projects that collect tools and prompts for anyone interested in trying them themselves.

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

For one developer, his motivation was fixing his parents' television. In an Oct. 17 post on X, he described using Claude Code to overhaul a Xiaomi TV that displayed an advertisement before they could reach Netflix. He said the assistant connected over Wi-Fi, removed 25 software packages, and built a replacement home screen.

"Looks like an Apple TV now lol," he wrote.

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

Another X user reportedly got rid of his "ads, bloatware, spyware [and] laggy UI."

"I also got a beautiful screensaver with my revenue, calendar, weather, and notifications for new Stripe payments. It was super easy!" he added.

These experiments have become a part of CleanYourTV, an open-source project originally called "tv-vibehack." Its goal? Replace the promotional clutter with an interface organized around the apps you actually use. And people trying it seem excited about how much less work their TVs now require.

"Now my TV is running super smooth, same as [a] new one," an X user wrote, who added a lightweight interface, a custom wallpaper slideshow, and a switch between Hindi/English for his parents.

I can understand the appeal. Pressing Home and seeing your own photos and favorite apps sounds a lot more inviting than being greeted by another round of things to buy.

Plus, there's documented frustration. In its Q4 2025 Video Trends Report, TiVo found that more than one-third of respondents reported excessive advertising on their TV’s home page.

But those screens simultaneously provide valuable real estate for the companies running them. Roku, for example, names making more money from its home screen as a key growth initiative in its 2025 annual report.

That leaves some owners turning to AI to make changes the TV companies have little incentive to offer themselves.

If you're wondering what people are actually typing into Claude Code, here's one prompt behind the makeover, which tells the coding assistant how to connect to the television, back up its settings, disable unwanted software, and build a simpler home screen.

To do it yourself, you need Claude Code, or another coding assistant with command-line access, running on a computer. Pasting the instructions into a regular chatbot conversation won’t give it access to your television.

This particular prompt is written for Android TV and Google TV devices. It isn’t designed for Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s webOS, or Amazon Fire TV, which require different approaches. Check your television’s operating system and model before starting:

1. Connect your computer and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. Enable Developer options on the television. On many supported models, go to Settings → Device Preferences → About, highlight Build, and press OK seven times. The menu names may differ on your set.

3. Turn on debugging. Return to Settings, open Developer options, and enable USB debugging. If your TV also shows Network debugging or ADB debugging, enable that option. Despite the name, this workflow doesn’t require connecting a USB cable.

4. Open Claude Code on your computer. Paste in the project prompt (found in the link below), replacing the bracketed text with your TV’s exact model number.

5. Stay nearby and follow along. You’ll need to approve the debugging connection on the TV and answer questions about which apps and features you want to keep. If the assistant can’t find the television, it may ask for the TV's IP address, which is usually listed in the TV’s network settings.

See here for the full project prompt, which includes additional troubleshooting and design details. There are other how-to's in the X posts below.

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

Once you paste it in the prompt, expect some back-and-forth. The assistant should ask which apps you use, what shortcuts you want, and whether to keep features such as casting and voice search. Review its proposed changes before approving them, especially if you don’t recognize a service.

One practical heads-up: Debugging can temporarily cut power to USB accessories on some TVs. If a connected speaker or drive stops working, it may come back when you switch debugging off.

That setup might sound like a whole afternoon’s project, but some users say they got through it much faster. One X user who tried it on a Sansui Google TV reported finishing in 25 minutes. "Damn, that was smooth!" they wrote.

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

Still, your TV model may restrict which software you can disable or whether you can replace the home screen at all. And a coding assistant can make mistakes, so a successful before-and-after post doesn’t mean you should approve every change it suggests.

It also matters which prompt you paste. Take the associated open-source project, dumbtv, which provides scripts to disable ads and tracking services and to replace the home screen on compatible TVs. Its developer documents testing on a Fire TV Edition television, but its cleanup also makes changes you might not want, including disabling Alexa and blocking software updates.

Undoing the changes can take some work, too. The project includes a restoration script, but its documentation says that some streaming apps it uninstalls must be reinstalled from the store.

The TV adjustments go beyond getting rid of ads, too. Another user shared a more unusual addition: "Gave my TV live @Polymarket game odds charts," they wrote. "You really can just do things nowadays."

For TV companies, there's a message in all this tinkering. People are willing to literally spend an afternoon working with a coding assistant to get a simpler television. Giving them that option in Settings would save everyone some trouble, don't you think?

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's new documentary, You Can See Everything, about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has hit theaters and it seemingly has everyone talking.

Those who have seen it are wondering what Elizabeth Holmes is up to right now. Well, let's take a look.

Who is Elizabeth Holmes?

Holmes was heralded as a tech industry wunderkind, founding her company Theranos while still in her teens.

Theranos was a health tech company whose biggest claim to fame came with what was sold as a game-changing blood-testing device. Theranos claimed it could run a multitude of tests that normal blood-testing protocols could do, but with just a single drop of blood from a patient's finger.

The promise was that Theranos' device would be quicker and cheaper than everything else in the industry. Only there was one problem: The device didn't work as advertised, and Theranos knew it while still using its fake achievement to raise money from investors. In total, Theranos raised $700 million and reached a peak $9 billion valuation.

Eventually, whistleblowers helped expose Holmes and Theranos' former COO Ramesh Balwani.

In January 2022, Holmes was found guilty of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and that November, she was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison.

Holmes and Balwani were also ordered to pay 12 of Theranos' victims $452 million in restitution.

Earlier this year, a judge reduced Holmes' sentence from 135 months to 123 months, or a full year less than her original sentence.

Furthermore, Holmes is scheduled to be moved to a halfway house in August 2027. Holmes has been serving out her prison sentence in a minimum security prison in Texas. A halfway house will provide Holmes with more freedom than a prison, with opportunities to work and take approved trips outside the facility.

Holmes reportedly has been advising her partner Billy Evans, who is also featured in Fielder's documentary. Evans is the CEO of the medical testing company Haemanthus.

Holmes is currently scheduled to be released from confinement on February 22, 2030.

Apple’s iPhone Duo ships Friday, Oct. 23, and it has one of the biggest batteries the company has ever put in an iPhone.

The Duo packs a 4,883 mAh battery, according to data from GSMarena. That’s more capacity than every iPhone released since the iPhone 13, with three exceptions: the eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro Max and both versions of the iPhone 18 Pro Max. It's an impressive phone, so impressive it immediately sold out after Apple opened it up for pre-orders.

The foldable ships Friday, Oct. 23, and Mashable’s full review is on the way. To see how its battery capacity stacks up, we compared it with that of every iPhone from the iPhone 13 onward. The iPhone 13 is still one of the most widely used iPhones, making it a natural baseline for anyone considering an upgrade.

SIM vs. eSIM

Starting with the iPhone 17 lineup, battery capacity on some Pro models depends on which version you buy. Versions that drop the physical SIM card tray and run on eSIM only have extra internal space, which Apple uses for a larger battery.

The difference is significant. The eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 5,088 mAh battery, while the version with a SIM tray has a 4,823 mAh battery. Apple says the Duo is an eSIM-only device.

However, a bigger battery doesn’t automatically mean longer battery life. How long a phone lasts also depends on how efficiently its processor uses power and how well the software is tuned to the hardware. A phone with a smaller battery but a more efficient chip can outlast one with more capacity.

The Duo vs. the field

Here’s how the Duo’s 4,883 mAh battery stacks up, ranked from highest capacity to lowest:

• iPhone 18 Pro Max (eSIM): 5,567 mAh

• iPhone 18 Pro Max (SIM): 5,391 mAh

• iPhone 17 Pro Max (eSIM only): 5,088 mAh

• iPhone Duo: 4,883 mAh

• iPhone 17 Pro Max (SIM): 4,823 mAh

• iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,685 mAh

• iPhone 16 Plus: 4,674 mAh

• iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422 mAh

• iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383 mAh

• iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352 mAh

• iPhone 14 Plus: 4,325 mAh

• iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323 mAh

• iPhone 18 Pro (eSIM): 4,288 mAh

• iPhone 17 Pro (eSIM only): 4,252 mAh

• iPhone 18 Pro (SIM): 4,056 mAh

• iPhone 16e: 4,005 mAh

• iPhone 17 Pro (SIM): 3,988 mAh

• iPhone 17: 3,692 mAh

• iPhone 16 Pro: 3,582 mAh

• iPhone 16: 3,561 mAh

• iPhone 15: 3,349 mAh

• iPhone 14: 3,279 mAh

• iPhone 15 Pro: 3,274 mAh

• iPhone 13: 3,227 mAh

• iPhone 14 Pro: 3,200 mAh

• iPhone Air (eSIM only): 3,149 mAh

• iPhone 13 Pro: 3,095 mAh

• iPhone 13 mini: 2,406 mAh

• iPhone SE (2022): 2,018 mAh

As you can see, there's a vast gulf between the iPhone 13 and the iPhone Duo. The foldable has about 51 percent more battery capacity than the standard iPhone 13 (3,227 mAh), and more than twice the capacity of the iPhone 13 mini (2,406 mAh). The Duo beats the version with a SIM tray of the iPhone 17 Pro Max by 60 mAh, though it falls 205 mAh short of the eSIM-only version.

Obviously, though, the Duo still trails the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which packs a whopping 5,391 mAh battery in the version with a SIM tray and 5,567 mAh in the eSIM-only version. The latter is the largest battery Apple has ever shipped in an iPhone.

Google claims its newest AI model, Gemini 4 Argon, just beat Minecraft — no human help required.

In a research paper posted Oct. 15, Google DeepMind researchers said a team of four Gemini 4 Argon agents defeated the Ender Dragon, the game’s final boss. The agents started in a freshly generated survival world on Easy difficulty and were given a single goal: kill the dragon. It took them 27 hours and 14 minutes. Along the way, the AI players died 605 times, mostly to monsters.

SEE ALSO: Minecraft is getting its first-ever theme park land

The researchers say this is the first time AI agents have beaten Minecraft from start to finish using only standard tools, with no game-specific help built by humans. Researchers watched the run on a live dashboard and could have stepped in at any point, but they say they never needed to.

However, Google is upfront about the limits. The game ran on Easy, which meant that monster attacks dealt less damage to the AI players. Because the AI agents play the game through code rather than on a screen, they have access to information that a human player would not. For example, the AI agents knew what blocks were hidden behind other blocks, making the "mining" part of the game rather insignificant. Plus, given Gemini 4 Argon's training base, the AI agents knew the optimal strategies for playing the game.

It's impressive, but nowhere near what humans can do. The researchers note that the record for beating Minecraft in a random world is under seven minutes.

One may ask, why make an AI play Minecraft? The researchers argue that the skills involved, like working as a team, bouncing back from mistakes, and sticking with a goal for more than a day, are the same ones AI agents need for real-world work. According to Google, the run costs about $520 in model usage at Argon’s introductory API price.

Making a frontier AI model play a video game is actually a common benchmark used by many companies when testing. The Pokémon games specifically have captured the zeitgeist in the AI industry for a while now, but Minecraft is now catching on too. As Google's research points out, two community projects have recently reported beating the dragon with AI, including one using Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.

Apple recently invited journalists to a "Pro and Tell" event in Los Angeles, where we expect the company to officially unveil the first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro OLED laptop (and a new iPad Mini, if we're lucky).

Apple's new CEO John Ternus has certainly been busy. Following the September iPhone launch and the recent "Welcome Home" smart home event, this would be the third big special event under Ternus.

Here's a running list of everything we know about the rumored OLED MacBook Pro.

When will Apple release new MacBooks?

An updated MacBook Pro with the M6 chip is expected to arrive sometime this fall, based on its usual upgrade cycle. But rumor has it that another new MacBook is also in the pipeline.

Now, Apple has all but confirmed that new MacBooks are incoming. Tech journalists are sharing invitations to a "Pro and Tell" event scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. PT. That lines up neatly with predictions from Bloomberg managing editor Mark Gurman — a fount of Apple scoops —  who previously reported the device would arrive around Tuesday, Oct. 27. Gurman reported the event will involve "an online video presentation and in-person component for the press."

Gurman thinks the touchscreen MacBook will be joined by an M6 MacBook Pro, M6 iMac, and an updated iPad mini, also with an OLED display. All of the new devices "will be geared toward creative professionals who work in video production, photo editing and music production," he said.

The OLED touchscreen MacBook would mark Apple's second all-new laptop of 2026 after the outrageously popular budget MacBook Neo.

Previously, we've referred to the touchscreen OLED MacBook as a "MacBook Ultra" device, but the name of the "Pro and Tell" event certainly suggests that Apple is sticking with its "Pro" branding after all. Both Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have referred to the device as a high-end variant of the MacBook Pro.

"A 'MacBook Ultra' label would more clearly signal their [the OLED touchscreen Macs'] position at the top of the lineup," Gurman wrote in the March edition of his weekly "Power On" newsletter. Apple already calls its most advanced smartwatch and silicon chip the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and M5 Ultra.

Of course, we thought the foldable iPhone might be called the iPhone Ultra for a while, and it wound up getting the Duo identifier.

According to Gurman, the OLED touchscreen Mac is internally code-named K114 and K116. (That probably means it will also come in 14- and 16-inch sizes.)

How much will the OLED MacBook cost? The Dell XPS 14, one of the best MacBook Pro alternatives for Windows users, starts at $2,299.99 with an OLED touchscreen. Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

The OLED touchscreen MacBook will most likely be Apple's priciest laptop, given its upper-end processors and fancy display. For reference, the existing MacBook Pro with the M5 chip starts at $1,999 after a recent price increase; the model with the M5 Pro chip starts at $2,499 in the 14-inch size and $2,999 in the 16-inch size.

Knowing that the iPad Pros got about 20 percent more expensive as part of their OLED upgrade, it's possible that a 14-inch OLED touchscreen MacBook will start around $2,999. Of course, that's assuming the global memory crisis doesn't wreak any more havoc on component costs before its launch, which may be overly optimistic. (Apple already had to raise its MacBook prices once this year amid "RAMageddon.")

Why an OLED touchscreen MacBook is a big deal

Touch-enabled OLED displays are readily available on most high-end Windows laptops, but Apple has never equipped its MacBooks with OLED panels or touch capabilities before. (The iPad Pro does have an OLED display, however.) In fact, company executives have long derided the latter. In 2010, late Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs called touchscreen laptops "ergonomically terrible." In 2018, software head Craig Federighi told Wired that he's "not into touchscreens" on laptops.

Then-hardware chief John Ternus, who recently ascended to the role of Apple's CEO, was still dismissing the idea of a touchscreen MacBook in 2021. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, he said Apple had already made "the world’s best touch computer on an iPad...And the Mac is totally optimized for indirect input."

"We haven’t really felt a reason to change that,” Ternus added. For whatever reason, that longtime strategy may have changed.

Apple experimented with an OLED "Touch Bar" on MacBook Pros from 2016 to 2021, replacing their physical function row with a customizable touchscreen strip. It was either cool or useless, depending on who you asked.

At present, the only Apple products with OLED touchscreens are the iPad Pros and iPhones. (The former specifically have tandem OLED displays, which are brighter.) The existing 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros have static mini-LED displays. They're "beautifully crisp," to quote Mashable's tech editor, but a touch-supported OLED model would be a more interactive laptop with better contrast, wider viewing angles, and zero blooming to boot.

OLED MacBook rumored features

Gurman said the OLED touchscreen MacBook has a new interface that makes it easy to switch between touch and traditional point-and-click controls. Updates in the macOS 27 beta clue us in to three software features that will likely show up on it:

• The iPhones' Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped notification area with a hole-punch camera cutout (no more notch!)

• A pull-to-refresh action, similar to how you'd reload a website or social media feed on an iPhone or iPad

• The ability to interact with an extended or mirrored iPad screen via touch inputs

Gurman has also stated that the new MacBook will have a full keyboard and trackpad, so using its touchscreen will be "completely optional." In other words, this is not going to be some sort of MacBook-iPad love child.

Looks-wise, Gurman thinks the OLED touchscreen MacBook will be "significantly lighter" than existing Pro models, which have had the same form factor since 2021. Apple's iPad Pros got up to 15 percent lighter when they gained OLED displays.

"Apple has reengineered the machine’s interior, miniaturizing parts and rearranging components to make the computer much easier to carry," Gurman wrote.

Bloomberg's Apple guru previously reported that the OLED touchscreen MacBook would also be much thinner than standard MacBook Pros, but he walked that back this month.

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

In 2024, Gurman reported that Apple was "investigating the idea of bringing cellular connectivity to the Mac for the first time," but didn't specify whether that feature was intended for the OLED touchscreen MacBook or another future model. He hasn't mentioned it since, so Apple might've left that one on the back burner.

What chip will the OLED MacBook have?

The OLED touchscreen MacBook will reportedly run on Apple's M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, not brand-new silicon. That's according to Gurman again, who credited his sources as "people with knowledge of the matter ... who asked not to be identified because the plans are private."

Launched in March of this year, the M5 Pro and M5 Max fuel Apple's current top-end MacBook Pros. They're designed to handle the intensive computing workloads of power users like professional creatives, developers, and AI researchers. With that in mind, the OLED touchscreen MacBook will not be a laptop for the average person.

How do we know Apple is working on an OLED MacBook?

A slate of well-known Apple insiders have all separately claimed to have intel that the company is preparing an OLED touchscreen MacBook for release in 2026.

Gurman — the source of so many Apple scoops — first broke the news in early 2023, calling it "a move that would defy long-held company orthodoxy" (see: that Jobs quote). Gurman has continued to report on the device's supposed development over the years.

In fall 2025, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote on X that an upcoming "OLED MacBook Pro...will incorporate a touch panel using on-cell touch technology." Kuo has foretold the arrival of Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, and USB-C iPads.

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

This June, a reliable leaker known as Instant Digital added more fuel to the fire with a short post on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. "It's 100% confirmed that the MacBook screen will be touch-enabled," he wrote.

Just days later, Gurman reported that the developer beta for macOS 27 contained "the first tangible evidence from Apple itself" of the OLED touchscreen MacBook: newly added support for touch-responsive software features like a pull-to-refresh action. At this point, the device is all but confirmed.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks about a late-October Apple hardware launch event, and on Monday, the company made it official. Apple will be hosting a "Pro and Tell" event on Thursday, Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. PT in Los Angeles.

Journalists and creators are sharing invitations to the upcoming Apple event, where the company is widely expected to unveil its first-ever touchscreen and OLED MacBook Pro devices. The event isn't listed on the company's official events page, but it will likely be livestreamed.

The company has been busy since new CEO John Ternus took over on Sept. 1. Following the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo launch event in September, the company hosted a "Welcome Home" event in early October to announce the Apple HomeView smart display, as well as an entire line of new smart home products.

The new MacBook Pro is typically released during this time of year, but the company is also rumored to be working on an update to the iPad Mini.

Bloomberg editor Mark Gurman, the source of most Apple hardware scoops, has reported that Apple will soon announce a new iPad Mini, also with an OLED display. The new devices could be quite expensive, given the flood of price increases consumers have faced in 2026, thanks to the global memory crisis.

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

Gurman reports that the new iPad Mini could cost $799, a $200 increase over its predecessor. Apple recently raised the price of the M5 MacBook Pro to $1,999, and a touchscreen and OLED MacBook Pro with a new chip would almost certainly cost more.

Will your child become a SpaceX shareholder? They will if Elon Musk lives up to his promise — something he doesn't have a very good track record of doing.

Early Monday morning, in a post on his social media platform X, Musk shared that he was planning to give a SpaceX share to every child in the U.S. in 2027.

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

"Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America," Musk posted at 3:52 a.m. ET. "This will be the first of many."

Musk's post appears to be a response to a recent announcement from Anthropic, an AI company that's a direct competitor to Musk's xAI.

On Sunday, Anthropic shared a post regarding the company's plan to take 5 percent of its shares and put them towards a new entity called the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund. The company said the percentage would grow to around 20 percent as the company's value increases. In addition, Anthropic's co-founders have also pledged to donate 80 percent of their equity as well.

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

"I recommend giving the shares directly to the public," Musk posted in a reply directly to Anthropic's X account. "This is what I will be doing."

If you're wondering exactly how Musk plans to go about it, the SpaceX founder appears to have answered that as well — and it involves President Donald Trump's Invest America accounts.

The Trump administration set up an investment account program for children under 18 called Invest America, also known as Trump accounts, and provided a $1,000 one-time payment to every child with an account who was born during Trump's second term.

In a reply to a X user who asked Musk if he'd be distributing the shares through Invest America, Musk replied with a simple "Yes."

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

According to the latest U.S. Census, there are currently 72 million children in the country who are under the age of 18. SpaceX stock is currently trading at around $150 a share. If Musk does actually donate a SpaceX share to every child in the U.S., he's looking at giving away $10.8 billion, which would be the largest donation in history.

However, Musk has a history of not following through with his promises. Aside from all of the various business-related examples, Musk has previously made philanthropic claims and did not deliver. 

For example, Musk previously claimed that he would donate $6 billion to solve world hunger if the U.N. World Food Program provided a detailed plan. They did, and Musk did not deliver the donation. In a separate case of Musk's false promises, he claimed he would fund fixing water contamination issues in any home in Flint, Michigan. He didn't do that either.

When Musk has donated money in the past, it's usually to his own charitable group, the Musk Foundation. The organization has more than $14 billion in assets, according to a New York Times report last year. However, the report found that most of the money the Musk Foundation donated went to groups closely tied to him and his businesses.

Will Musk make good on this promise? We'll have to wait until next year to find out.

Nathan Fielder is the name on everyone's lips right now.

Alongside Primetime helmer Lance Oppenheim, Fielder co-directed the buzzy documentary You Can See Everything, in which he moves in with Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans in the days leading up to Holmes's prison sentence.

As You Can See Everything progresses, the film morphs into something stranger than even the first unsettling teaser could have prepared audiences for. That mind-melting trajectory is an extension of Fielder's prior television work, which interrogates how we document reality on film and TV.

SEE ALSO: Let's talk 'You Can See Everything' spoilers: An explainer for Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary

Whether you've never heard of Fielder before and are now curious thanks to You Can See Everything, or you're a Fielder diehard looking for a rewatch of his greatest hits, we've got you covered on where you can see everything... of his prior work, that is.

Here's where you can stream Fielder's TV shows.

Where can I watch Nathan for You?

Fielder's early career began with roles in Canadian comedy series like This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Important Things with Demetri Martin. But his first major standalone project is Comedy Central's Nathan for You.

The reality show parody sees Fielder leveraging his business degree to help small business owners. However, his unusual methods take him — and his subjects — down increasingly wild paths. According to You Can See Everything, Holmes's primary exposure to Fielder was a clip from Nathan for You.

Even if you've never seen a full episode of Nathan for You, the show has likely crossed your path at some point online. Perhaps it was Fielder cooking up viral stunts like 2014's viral "Dumb Starbucks" shop, or through enduring memes like "I hope you're hungry... for nothing."

Enduring virality aside, several Nathan for You episodes can take deep turns, including series finale "Finding Frances," and the whole show serves as a primer for Fielder's reality-bending approach to his work.

How to watch: Nathan for You is now streaming on HBO Max.

Where can I watch The Rehearsal?

Fielder continues to blur reality and fiction in The Rehearsal.

Once again, the show involves Fielder trying to help people in his own unique way. This time, however, the focus is on extensively rehearsing tough interactions so that his subjects can be prepared for anything coming their way. That means building full-scale sets, hiring actors to play doppelgängers, and conducting elaborate run-throughs of every possible outcome.

Season 1's scenarios range from confessing a lie to your trivia teammates to raising a son, while Season 2 takes a turn into examining plane crashes and pilot communication.

Fielder's "experiments" will melt your brain, while also echoing the painstaking recreations of his unrecorded conversations with Holmes in You Can See Everything.

How to watch: The Rehearsal is now streaming on HBO Max.

Where can you watch The Curse?

Fielder moves fully into fiction with The Curse, which he co-created with Benny Safdie.

In this reality TV satire, Fielder and Emma Stone star as aspiring HGTV stars Whitney and Asher Siegel, a married couple whose show Flipanthropy looks to build eco-friendly homes in Española, New Mexico. But after a local child declares a curse on Asher, the production and the Siegels' fraught personal lives spiral.

What follows is a surreal examination of reality TV, gentrification, hollow activism, and more. It's a bizarro trip that You Can See Everything fans might not want to miss.

How to watch: The Curse is now streaming on Paramount+.

If we're talking about iconic rom-com scenes, Patrick (Heath Ledger) singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" to Kat (Julia Stiles) from the bleachers of the high school stadium has to be up in the top five. The 10 Things I Hate About You serenade scene shifted the expectations of millennials everywhere when it came to love and big gestures. So when Dancing With the Stars announced last week that Stiles will honor the late Heath Ledger with a routine to the same song, we knew it was primetime for a rewatch.

If you want to revisit the legendary rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You before Stiles' big performance on Tuesday, Oct. 20 (at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming on Disney+), or just whenever you feel like it, it's available to watch for free. Here's what you need to know.

How to watch 10 Things I Hate About You for free

Black Friday may not be until Nov. 27, but headphones deals — including on AirPods — are already popping up ahead of the year's biggest shopping holiday.

Granted, Black Friday sales start much earlier than the day itself. Though we haven't yet received any official confirmation of sale dates, we are seeing Black Friday-worthy deals: the AirPods Max 2 are $100 off, while the AirPods 4 and Pro 3 both have markdowns as well.

So what's the best way to approach your AirPods purchasing journey this holiday season? In addition to gathering the best deals live now, we also used our deals expertise and years of experience covering shopping holidays and Black Friday deals to give context on which deals we're still holding out on.

Admittedly, the AirPods Max 2 aren't Mashable's favorite headphones, especially in comparison to the price and feature set of other premium options. However, we can acknowledge they have a stunning design, are great for Apple users, and do boast solid sound quality and noise cancellation. At $100, they're definitely at a more palatable (if still high) price point. With still weeks to go until Black Friday proper, this is an especially impressive deal, though at the time of writing, it is only live on the blue and purple AirPods.

Read our full review on the AirPods Max 2.

More AirPods deals

• Apple AirPods 4 — $99 $129 (save $30)

• Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation — $119.97 $179 (save $59.04)

• Apple AirPods Pro 3 — $199 $249 (save $50)

AirPods deals we're waiting on

• AirPods 5: Apple's latest AirPods have yet to properly go on sale. The cheaper model dropped a few bucks in September, while the $149 wireless charging model has never seen even a small price dip. As these are already Apple's best value earbuds at full price, we're hoping to be a more substantial price drop as we inch closer to Black Friday.

• AirPods Pro 3: Yes, they're technically already on sale, but $199 isn't the best price we've seen on Apple's noise-cancelling in-ear buds. They dropped down to $179 during October Prime Day, and have even gone as low as $169 earlier this year. All this to say, $199 isn't a bad deal, but it certainly could be better.
