Apple Contemplating Launch of Commemorative Anniversary Edition iPod

Following the unveiling of the iPhone Pocket, a high-end limited-edition accessory designed in collaboration with Issey Miyake, numerous Apple fans speculated that it served as a reference to the iPod Socks. While both items target vastly different consumers, many could not ignore the parallels. Furthermore, Apple launched the iPhone Pocket one day after the iPod celebrated its 24th birthday.
Considering this, might the company consider reviving its classic device for a unique anniversary edition in 2026, marking 25 years since its inception? As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his “Power On” newsletter, there’s scant history of Apple reviving a significant product line. A primary factor against this would be the substantial shifts in consumer behavior over the decades.
Nonetheless, Gurman highlights how appealing it could be for a youthful generation unfamiliar with this vintage technology, who would appreciate experiencing it for the first time.
What if Apple modernizes the iPod with cutting-edge technology?
Apple Watch Redesign Postponed to 2028 or Beyond
a totally reimagined Apple Watch in 2026, a source on Weibo has recently conveyed that the design of next year’s Apple Watch will closely resemble the existing models. This, however, should not imply that Apple is halting the progress on a thoroughly transformed Apple Watch. Instead, it’s reported that Apple is delaying its significant redesign by several years. The source indicates that a new Apple Watch design might not be unveiled until “the year following the iPhone’s 20th anniversary.”
To put it differently, don’t anticipate an Apple Watch redesign arriving in stores anytime soon. The iPhone, marking its 20th anniversary, is expected to launch in 2027, which implies that a refreshed Apple Watch is at least 2-3 years out. Coincidentally, the source mentions that the Apple Watch redesign will remain fully compatible with current bands. This certainly seems reasonable considering that many current Apple Watch users might hesitate to upgrade if the bands they previously invested in were to become obsolete.

iOS 26.2 Beta 3 Launched with Enhanced Features and Bug Corrections
a release anticipated in mid-December, Apple is still refining iOS 26.2, alongside its other operating systems, including macOS Tahoe 26.2, which is rumored to introduce a new video calling feature dubbed Edge Light.
With the arrival of iOS 26.2 beta 2, Apple has enhanced Liquid Glass animations, presenting the user interface that many iPhone users anticipated following WWDC earlier this year, when the design appeared more lively and vibrant. It is likely that with beta 3, the company will further refine this experience to make it even more fluid and attractive.
In addition to this, Apple is actively incorporating Liquid Glass effects into its default applications. As of the last beta release, the Measures app features Liquid Glass bubbles during its measurement process. Meanwhile, Apple has also refreshed the Apple Store app with a new icon and an updated user interface, although access to the iOS 26.2 beta is not required to notice these changes.

The Advantages of Utilizing Burner Emails: Reasons to Think About Acquiring One

Let’s be honest, many emails are quite bothersome. Although some communications are appreciated, it can often feel like you’re overwhelmed with promotional emails and spam. Numerous websites require you to provide an email address to access content, download a PDF, or make a purchase. Once a company has your email, they may fill your inbox with advertisements and follow-up messages. If you’re fed up with clearing out your primary email inbox, there’s a solution.
A burner email serves as a smart method to prevent spam or unwanted messages from reaching your main email account. It is, in essence, an additional email address that you establish for a temporary need instead of using your primary one. If a website requests your email and you only intend to visit once, a burner email might be the ideal solution. Setting up a secondary email address can be straightforward. Indeed, you can generate unlimited email addresses through Gmail. Additionally, many browser extensions and mobile applications offer temporary email addresses, so you’re never providing a real one. Many of these services have free versions along with premium options, although the latter might come with advertisements.

The Reason the US Military Initiated an Unarmed Nuclear Missile Launch
Vandenberg Space Force, Lt. Col. Karrie Wray, who leads the 576th Flight Test Squadron, stated that it’s about more than just basic preparedness. “It’s a thorough evaluation to confirm and authenticate the ICBM system’s capability to execute its vital mission,” he remarked. The information that will be gathered during and from the test is “crucial in guaranteeing the ongoing dependability and precision of the ICBM weapon system.”
Interestingly, the U.S. military intends to retire this specific missile format, the Minuteman III ICBM, by 2030. Nonetheless, it’s still essential to confirm that the systems are operational. Gen. S.L. Davis, head of Air Force Global Strike Command, stated, “As we advance the Sentinel weapon system, we must keep the existing Minuteman III fleet ready.” The Sentinel weapon system he refers to is the upcoming LGM-35 Sentinel, which is currently being developed by Northrop Grumman. It is set to take the place of the Minuteman ICBMs when the moment is right.
What is the frequency of these ICBM test flights?

Major Cable Network Undergoes Rebranding After Almost 30 Years
as stated in Variety, Rebecca Kutler — the president of the network — mentioned, “We are tackling it directly, and our achievement in the forthcoming months and years will rely on our creativity and entrepreneurial mindset.”
Same Mission. New Name.
Foldable iPhone Anticipated to Feature Ample Battery
the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the inaugural foldable iPhone. Notably missing from this roster are the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2. The former is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18e in the spring of 2027, which is also when the next Air model could be introduced, although Apple might delay it. The iPhone Fold appears to be a certainty for next year, given the growing number of reports referencing it. The most recent such report comes from the prominent Korean leaker yeux1122, who asserts that the first foldable iPhone will feature an enormous battery. Apple is allegedly evaluating batteries ranging from 5,400 to 5,800 mAh.
The leaker states that this information originates from Apple’s supply chain — the same source that indicated the iPhone Air would include a 2,800-3,000 mAh battery. This refers to a May rumor that proved to be somewhat accurate. The iPhone Air’s battery ultimately measured 3,149 mAh. Considering that the eSIM-only variant of the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 5,088 mAh battery, an upgrade to either 5,400 mAh or 5,800 mAh seems plausible for the foldable iPhone. The iPhone Fold would consist of two sections, each containing a battery. If the device is approximately the size of two iPhone Airs adjacent to one another, the battery capacity could be logical.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman mentioned over the weekend that the aim of the iPhone Air was to ready the supply chain for the forthcoming foldable iPhone, which would utilize a number of components developed for the Air. What stands out about the Air is that the interior of the device is largely comprised of the battery. The logic board is positioned at the top of the device, beneath the camera plateau.
Google Improves Flight Offers and Launches New AI-Driven Travel Capabilities
Flight Deals initiative that Google started in August is now accessible worldwide, enabling users to discover better flight offers by simply requesting the AI in natural language to locate specific flights that align with their budget and requirements. The AI Mode in Google Search also enhances more travel-related functionalities, including a new Canvas feature that simplifies trip planning like never before, alongside increased support for using AI Mode to make dining reservations.
Earlier this summer, Google introduced Flight Deals, an AI-enhanced version of Google Flights, in the U.S., Canada, and India. This feature is now being rolled out across over 200 countries and territories around the globe, supporting more than 60 languages. Shoppers seeking flight bargains but unclear about their travel destinations and timing can now utilize Flight Deals “as if conversing with a friend,” according to a Google blog entry. In a video, the company presents this example query for Flight Deals: “I plan to take a week off in February. Searching for a deal, I wish to fly nonstop to a city with outstanding cuisine and pleasant weather.” In this context, the user only indicates the timeframe, with the AI expected to uncover all other details. You can provide the AI with as many specifics as you desire to refine your search further and secure better offers.
Canvas in AI Mode facilitates travel inquiries
Complimentary App Converts Local Radio Experience into an Exciting Journey
scrolling through Instagram reels, viewing YouTube clips, and perusing written travel narratives, at least until our finances, timelines, and visas converge.
But what if there’s an alternative way to experience the culture and sounds of a distant place without depending on someone else’s tales? Introducing Radio Garden, a complimentary app that’s not your average online radio streamer. Its distinct method of discovering local radio adds a layer of excitement and exploration beyond just sifting through an alphabetical list of channels on your device or exploring streaming platforms that suggest content.
It places you on a globe, reminiscent of Google Earth, showcasing thousands of green dots that signify the numerous local radio stations worldwide, granting you the liberty to select a live broadcast from almost any location on the planet. With a single tap, you can be listening to a K-pop station from Gangnam, tuning into a breakfast show from the Australian coast, or grooving to Bollywood hits from a Mumbai station. Be advised, it’s unfiltered, instant, and captivating.
What Radio Garden brings
Originating from Amsterdam, Radio Garden has existed for nearly nine years. Although it gained immense popularity upon its debut in 2016, Radio Garden emerged as a cherished discovery during lockdown, when individuals sought some form of connection with the wider world while confined to their homes. Radio Garden is accessible as a mobile app for both Android and iOS, as well as a website.
You can download the applications at no cost, as they are supported by advertisements. However, if you prefer to avoid ads, Radio Garden has begun offering an in-app purchase that eliminates the promotional content and adds features such as a sleep timer and family sharing. The primary method of using Radio Garden is by engaging with the digital globe and its green dots, though it also provides a search option and a collection of curated content.

The following one, uploaded by Huy Nguyen, garnered over 1.7 million views. There’s evident curiosity around running the more feature-rich iPadOS 26 system on a phone initially equipped with iOS 26.

Duy Tran clarified in another post that getting iPadOS 26 running on the iPhone 17 Pro Max is primarily due to a bug. An exploit was utilized that enabled this feature through a jailbreak. Nevertheless, it seems that Apple is aware of this situation and has addressed the bug in the iOS 26.2 beta 2 version, indicating that the only way to “upgrade” to iPadOS 26 is to delay transitioning to the official iOS 26.2 release for as long as possible.
Ngl i’ll use this device daily lol
