The colors are good this year. | Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are official, with Action Buttons inherited from the 15 Pro and a new look for the camera bump. We’ve just gotten some hands-on time with them in Cupertino, California, following the announcement, and the great news is that color is back, baby: they look great. The rear cameras are now stacked vertically on a smaller pill-shaped camera bump. This arrangement is better suited for capturing spatial video, lest we all forget about the Vision Pro. It’s also just a fresh look for the regular iPhone, and Apple likes to throw one in every few years to shake things up. Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge Camera bump goes sideways.

Image: Apple Apple released a new, more powerful version of the MagSafe charger during its September iPhone 16 event today. The puck will be compatible with all iPhones and any Qi2 device, but only the new iPhone 16 models are listed as supporting the fastest 25W wireless charging rate. That’s a higher maximum rate than the phones offered by Samsung and Google right now — the Galaxy S24 series maxes out at 15W, while Google’s Pixel 9 phones range from 15W–23W when using the second-generation Google Pixel Stand. (Pixel 9 models can only manage 12W charging on standard Qi chargers.) For faster wireless charging up to 25W — up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro when paired with the 30W USB‑C Power Adapter (sold... Continue reading…

Beats’ new iPhone 16 cases feature a microfiber-lined interior and will come in four colors. | Image: Beats Beats, Apple’s other headphone brand, just announced its first collection of smartphone cases designed for the Apple 16 lineup, with full compatibility with the new Camera Control button. The $49 hardshell polycarbonate cases feature “flexible sidewalls” to help absorb some of the impact when dropped and a microfiber lining to protect an iPhone’s finish. According to Beats, the outer surface of each case has been treated with a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” a feature that potentially comes in response to Apple’s problematic — and now discontinued — microtwill FineWoven cases, which were prone to scratches. Available to order today through Apple’s website in midnight black, summit stone, riptide blue, and sunset purple colorways,... Continue reading…

Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge AMD is saying the quiet part out loud: it’s now prioritizing AI chips ahead of flagship GPUs for gamers. The company’s just laid out a new business strategy, where it will merge its RDNA gaming graphics and CNDA data center efforts into a single universal “UDNA” that’s aimed at AI first. In two interviews with Tom’s Hardware (you’ll definitely want to read both), AMD computing and graphics boss Jack Huynh doesn’t beat around the bush. With gaming graphics, he explains, the goal is now building scale and market share at lower price points — not the “King of the Hill” flagship GPUs that haven’t convinced enough buyers to leave Nvidia behind. Here’s the key passage from the first interview: Tom’s Hardware: Price point-wise, you have... Continue reading…
