The iOS 18 updates keep rolling. | Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge When Apple said that iPhone owners in the EU would be able to set new default apps for things like calling and messaging, it sounded a lot like only people in the EU would get that option. That’s not the case, though: a note on Apple’s developer website states that all users worldwide can set new default apps for calling and messaging in iOS 18.2. Maybe the continental divide between iPhones in the US and EU won’t be so wide after all. The first iOS 18.2 developer beta went out today, and it didn’t take long for 9to5Mac to spot the new options. There’s a whole new section in the settings menu dedicated to managing default apps. This includes defaults you could already reassign, like your browser or email app. Other options include call... Continue reading…

The product launched earlier this year at $699, but now, you can buy one starting at $499. This $499 version is the “eclipse” model that is a matte black anodized aluminum, and it doesn’t come with an extra battery or the charge case. The latter makes some sense given that the company warned AI Pin owners not to use the charge case because it found some battery cells from a vendor “may pose a fire safety risk.” You can still buy an extra battery separately for $69. And even though you can buy an AI Pin for a lower price, the gadget still requires a $24 per month wireless subscription. The AI Pin launched this year to very poor... Continue reading…

2024 Dodge Charger Daytonas. | Image: Stellantis Stellantis says it will put a “demonstration fleet” of Dodge Charger Daytonas on the road by 2026, equipped with solid-state battery technology that’s lighter, more energy-dense, and could eventually make for cheaper EVs. The company calls the demo fleet a “key next step” toward making solid-state EVs that you can actually buy. The cars will be built on its STLA Large EV platform, which is meant to underpin more than just the Chargers it’s demoing next year. If its demo is successful, there’s a chance that cars from brands like Maserati and Jeep will get the new battery tech, too. Image: Stellantis A demo fleet of the Dodge Charger will get semi-solid-state batteries in 2026, Stellantis says. There’s probably a... Continue reading…
