I can already hear the Swifties roaring. | Image: Chris Welch / The Verge To the delight of Swifties and the chagrin of her detractors‚ the 2024 Super Bowl will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. We’re anticipating record-high camera cuts to the rich seats whenever Taylor Swift’s beau (Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce) makes a big play‚ so why not prepare with an equally big home theater upgrade? Regardless of where you look‚ you’re bound to find a great TV deal leading up to the big game on February 11th‚ but Sonos is a good place to start if it’s booming audio you’re after. The company is running a promo through February 11th that saves you 20 percent on the Sonos Arc‚ bringing the soundbar down to $719 ($180 off) at Sonos‚ Best Buy‚ and B&;H Photo for a limited time. The Arc offers a... Continue reading…

I don’t know why it has to be like this. | Photo by Victoria Song / The Verge Last month‚ I traded in my ludicrous New York City rent for a more affordable life in Hackensack‚ New Jersey. (Yes‚ it’s all my money got me.) Many of my friends who’d migrated to Jersey warned me about the NJ Transit app. It’s not good‚ they said. I didn’t take them too seriously. I was forged in the fires of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s continually broken website circa 2001. After a seven-year stint in Tokyo navigating the labyrinthian Tokyo subway and bus system‚ what public transit app could ever befuddle me? Hubris is a bitch. Upon opening the NJ Transit app‚ I was bombarded with more menus than I knew what to do with. Nothing is uniformly named. App navigation is a matryoshka doll of ill-organized tabs. Would you like to... Continue reading…

You can pull images generated by Firefly AI and place them around you like a floating gallery. | Image: Adobe Adobe’s Firefly AI‚ the text-to-image tool behind features like Photoshop’s generative fill‚ will be available on the Apple Vision Pro as a native app‚ alongside the company’s popular Lightroom photo editing software already demonstrated during the headset’s announcement. The creative software giant announced in a press release that the new Firefly experience had been “purpose-built” for the headset’s visionOS system‚ allowing users to move and place images generated by the app onto real-world spaces like walls and desks. The interface of the Firefly visionOS app should be familiar to anyone who’s already used the web-based version of the tool — users just need to enter a text description within the prompt box at the bottom and hit...

Image: Microsoft Microsoft has started internally testing a new custom emoji feature for its Microsoft Teams communications platform. Multiple sources tell The Verge that Microsoft employees learned about the surprise new capability after animated emoji of Pepe the Frog — a meme with a troubled past — started appearing in reactions and messages on early internal versions of Microsoft Teams. The Pepe the Frog emotes‚ which are now widely used in Discord servers and on Amazon’s Twitch streaming platform as lighthearted responses‚ appeared alongside other custom emoji that don’t ship in Microsoft Teams right now. We’re told Microsoft is testing the custom emoji feature in early so-called “dogfood” versions of Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams currently... Continue reading…

With Apple Vision Pro finally available today in the US‚ Adobe is among the main developers releasing apps for this spatial computer. With that‚ the company brings its latest AI features to Apple's most-anticipated launch. With Adobe Firefly‚ Apple Vision Pro users can ideate and bring their creative visions to life by generating and rendering artwork on large‚ beautiful displays that bring them closer to the content and arrange images in all sorts of contexts‚ such as drag out of the main app window to place on walls‚ desk‚ and real-word spaces around you. In the future‚ Adobe says Firefly will be able to generate wrap-around panoramas‚ 360-degree environments‚ and more. In addition‚ Adobe says free open-source technology that serves as a "nutrition label" to digital content is automatically attached and embedded to all content created with Adobe Firefly in Apple Vision Pro to ensure content and data transparency. Image source: Adobe In addition to Firefly‚ the company is adding Adobe Lightroom so users can enjoy an immersive photo editing experience on Apple Vision Pro. In a press release‚ Adobe invites users to "discover the future of photography with a new way to edit photos at a larger scale‚ get down to the details‚ experience the magic of wide-frame panoramic images or video memories‚ and more to come in the future." Lastly‚ Adobe Fresco and Behance are also part of the Adobe apps available on the Apple Vision Pro to help users embrace new‚ creative experiences. What excites me the most about Adobe's commitment to Apple Vision Pro and AI features is that the company previewed exciting new generative AI features for photos‚ videos‚ and audio in October. For example‚ here's what users are getting in the photo department: Project Stardust is a powerful object-aware editor that lets you remove objects simply by clicking on them. You can easily select‚ edit‚ and delete complex elements in any image‚ move the object to a different place‚ and more with ease. Project See Through is an AI-powered tool that makes it simple to remove reflections from photos. Below‚ you can learn more about Apple Vision Pro.

After Apple reported its first quarter earnings call‚ the company's CEO Tim Cook hinted at generative AI features coming for the iPhone with iOS 18‚ as Cupertino needs to regain momentum after all major tech players announced improvements in this field. At the earnings call‚ Cook said: In terms of generative AI‚ which‚ I’d guess‚ is your focus‚ we have a lot of work going on internally as I’ve alluded to before. Our MO‚ if you will‚ has always been to do work and then talk about work and not to get out in front of ourselves. And so‚ we’re going to hold that to this as well. But we’ve got some things that we are incredibly excited about that we’ll be talking about later this year. Still‚ Tim Cook's words weren't enough to convince Haitong Securities analyst Jeff Pu. According to him‚ AAPL share is overvalued as he believes investors should be cautious about the iPhone 15 cycle‚ AirPods‚ Mac‚ and Apple Watch‚ in addition to the "potentially muted iPhone 16." Even though generative AI will start to take shape later this year with the iPhone‚ he expects it to be limited with some AI-related hardware upgrades for the iPhone 16 with the A18 and A18 Pro chips. "We expect a better-functioned Gen AI to be in 2025‚ likely with iPhone 17‚ a time to lift Apple's product/service businesses." With that‚ we'll see the first steps into Apple's generative AI with iOS 18 and the iPhone 16. Still‚ the real features will take longer as Cupertino will wait for the iPhone 17 (and‚ ultimately‚ iOS 19) to unlock its true potential. Previously‚ Bloomberg's Mark Gurman hinted at some of the potential generative AI features expected for iOS 18‚ including: Auto-summarizing and auto-complete features for core apps and productivity software (Pages‚ Keynote) Better playlist creation in Apple Music Siri (a big overall overhaul with a focus on AI) Code completion in a new version of Xcode for developers AppleCare tools to assist employees in helping customers with troubleshooting BGR will keep following Apple's efforts on this matter.
