Despite a recent onslaught of rumors and reports, Apple hasn't officially announced its long-rumored virtual/augmented-reality headset. That means we don't really know what it's going to look like, save from a fairly crude sketch by The Information based on an image of a prototype. Now, designer Antonio de Rosa has shared his vision of what the finished product might look like, and one thing is certain — it looks a […]

Apple Maps on iOS is becoming a bit like Waze. The new iOS 14.5 beta (via MacRumors) has a new Apple Maps feature, allowing users to report incidents on the road such as accidents, hazards, and speed checks. The new feature is located in the swipe up menu on Maps, under "Report." MacRumors notes that tapping on one of the incident icons flags your location immediately without an additional confirmation […]

Apple Car just can't get a break. On Monday, Hyundai and Kia said they're not in talks with Apple regarding development of an autonomous car, according to Reuters. A Bloomberg report added that Apple paused discussions with the two Korean companies on building an electric car "weeks ago." Apple has also talked with other manufacturers, the report claims. It's unclear whether a deal with Hyundai or the affiliated Kia is […]

Apple's mixed-reality headset will come with some top-notch hardware, a new report claims. According to The Information, which claims it has seen Apple's internal images of a late-stage prototype of the device, the headset will have two 8K displays, advanced eye-tracking tech, and more than a dozen cameras for tracking hand movements. For comparison, the Oculus Quest 2's displays have a resolution of 1,832 x 1,920 pixels per eye, while […]

With each passing day, the mythical Apple Car becomes more real, and also slightly more confusing. A new report from CNBC claims that Apple is close to finalizing a deal with Hyundai-Kia (the two companies are affiliated and Hyundai owns a big chunk of Kia) to produce an Apple-branded, autonomous electric vehicle. We already knew that from previous reports, one of which claims Apple will invest US$3.6 billion in Kia […]

Apple is investing 4 trillion won (US$3.6 billion) in Kia Motors in a collaboration to built an electric car. This is according to a report by Korean outlet DongA Ilbo (via Bloomberg), which claims a deal may get inked on February 17. According to the report, the plan is to launch the Apple Car in 2024, with an initial target of producing 100,000 cars per year. This can later be […]

Betting against the crowd isn't always smart. Hedge fund Melvin Capital reportedly lost US$4.5 billion in assets value in January – a 53 percent drop – after its massive bet that GameStop's stock price will fall turned sour, the Financial Times reported Sunday. And that's after a US$2.75 billion cash infusion from previous investors, who jumped in to save the fund from collapse. For an explainer of what happened, go […]

As the man himself said, it was inevitable. On Friday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk changed his Twitter bio to "#bitcoin." This alone perhaps wouldn't be that interesting — after all, Musk expressed his interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies before — but Musk followed up with a cryptic tweet that might indicate he's actually bought some Bitcoin. "In retrospect, it was inevitable," Musk tweeted. This could mean anything and nothing. It […]

It's been a wild week at Robinhood. On Thursday, the company announced it will start allowing customers to buy GameStop shares on Friday. Robinhood halted buying for several stocks — including GameStop, AMC, BlackBerry, and Nokia — on Wednesday, citing high volatility. Notably, these are the stocks that have gotten in the crosshairs of Reddit investor group r/wallstreetbets, who are buying them en masse and betting against massive hedge funds […]
