Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Apple isn’t at CES‚ but it had a huge presence anyway. On Monday‚ just before a string of CES keynotes were set to kick off‚ the company announced that its Vision Pro headset would be launching on February 2nd. Apple had already promised that the headset would launch early this year. So the stage was set for its rivals to compete by making CES 2024 a showcase of new ideas about virtual and augmented reality. Ultimately‚ that didn’t pan out. Lots of companies showed up with AR and VR tech. A lot of the headsets offered similar functionality to the Vision Pro‚ like an AR / VR monitor for your computer or a substitute TV. But none were as impressive a package as Apple’s headset‚ nor were most arriving nearly as soon. Photo... Continue reading…

The Oh! by OhDoki is the company’s second interactive sex toy. | Photo by Victoria Song / The Verge Every once in a while‚ you’ll turn a corner on the CES show floor and see crowds flocking around a high-tech sex toy. This year‚ the one that caught my eye was The Handy‚ an automated masturbator — mainly because it was moving in a way I don’t expect to see in polite company‚ let alone a public show floor. But right next to it was the Oh!‚ a $149.95 toy coming later this spring that had me also saying “Oh?” Both sex toys are made by Norwegian sex tech company Ohdoki. The Handy‚ a motorized device that moves up and down to mimic masturbation for people with penises‚ is certainly the flashier of the two. At a glance‚ the Oh! is unassuming as far as vibrators go. What makes it different is how it vibrates. Most vibrators are simple... Continue reading…

We've been talking about iPhone sideloading for quite a while now. That's because one large jurisdiction will force Apple to allow iPhone users to install apps from any source they choose. The change will bring third-party app stores‚ third-party payment systems‚ and direct app downloads to the iPhone. That jurisdiction is the European Union (EU). It designated the App Store as one of the gatekeeper services in the region under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The EU also forced Apple to drop Lightning in favor of USB-C on the iPhone 15 and future models. Under the current DMA designations‚ Apple must support iPhone sideloading in the EU by early March. Apple has appealed the EU's decision‚ prompting some to speculate that sideloading might be delayed. But the EU antitrust commissioner Margrethe Vestager visited the US this week‚ where she took meetings with various leaders from big tech companies. Apple's CEO Tim Cook was one of them. Vestager's message to Apple and the world is that sideloading will happen on the iPhone this year. The antitrust chief said in an interview that companies will have to get ready to comply with the DMA regulations once the deadline arrives‚ despite their legal cases protesting DMA designations.
