The original Steam Deck is still a great handheld, and right now, it’s as affordable as it gets in new condition. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Summer has various official and unofficial starts to kick off the season, but the real one for many of us gamers is Steam’s annual Summer Sale — which Valve recently announced will begin on Thursday, June 27th, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. And as an added treat, Valve’s entry-level Steam Decks are already on sale for an all-time low in the run-up to the event. Valve is discounting the base Steam Decks sold through Steam’s online storefront by 15 percent through 10AM PT / 1PM ET on July 11th, dropping the price of the LCD-equipped handheld to $296.95 (about $52 off) in the 64GB configuration and $381.65 (about $67 off) in its 512GB variant.

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Apple might finally allow retro video game emulators on the App Store, but this month, the company rejected submissions of iDOS 3, a new version of the popular DOS emulator, and UTM SE, an app that lets you emulate operating systems like Windows on iOS.

Other reports said Apple was also making an AR/VR headset, which would give users access to augmented reality and virtual reality (VR) features.

Apple released the AR/VR headset, the Vision Pro spatial computer, which is about to hit more markets soon. I believe the technology in the Vision Pro will be used in Apple AR Glasses down the road, but it’ll take a while to get there. A new report from an insider familiar with Apple’s plans gives us the most optimistic release date for the Apple AR Glasses based on the company’s strategy change for the Vision Pro. The glasses might drop as soon as 2027, but I think it sounds too good to be true. Continue reading... The post The road to Apple AR Glasses is paved with Vision Pro headsets appeared first on BGR.
