Apple is reportedly preparing two new AirPods 5 models for its September event, including a version with active noise cancellation. Apple’s September event is shaping up to be much bigger than an iPhone launch. Alongside the expected new iPhones and Apple Watches, the company is reportedly preparing a new generation of its entry-level wireless earbuds: AirPods 5. According to reports from people familiar with Apple’s plans, the new earbuds could be unveiled at Apple’s September 9 event, where the company is also expected to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and its first foldable iPhone. The AirPods update is particularly…
Google is reportedly preparing a new Gemini model focused heavily on coding, with internal tests suggesting a much stronger challenge to OpenAI and Anthropic. Google appears to be preparing another major move in the AI race, and this time the target is clear: coding. The company’s AI research division is reportedly getting ready to release Gemini 3.8 Flash, an unreleased model that has been tested internally and is said to deliver a significant improvement in software development tasks. The model is reportedly known inside Google as “Skimaki”, and an external release could arrive as early as this week. What makes…
The Fire Ant espionage campaign has moved beyond servers and hypervisors, targeting Cisco routers, authentication systems and Linux management hosts to monitor traffic, steal credentials and hide its tracks. A China-linked cyber-espionage campaign has taken an unusual turn: instead of simply breaking into computers, attackers are compromising network routers themselves and turning them into surveillance platforms. Security researchers at Sygnia say the group tracked as Fire Ant has expanded its operations to Cisco IOS XR routers, TACACS authentication servers and Linux management hosts. Once inside, the attackers used compromised routers to capture network traffic, establish hidden connections and interfere with…
Apple has confirmed its September 9 event. Here is what to expect from the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and rumored foldable iPhone Ultra.
A widely used print-management platform has been hit by two newly disclosed vulnerabilities. Attackers are already exploiting them, with researchers observing attempts to bypass authentication and extract database information. A security problem involving PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF has escalated into an active attack campaign, with attackers now exploiting two vulnerabilities that were only disclosed last week. PaperCut has issued multiple emergency updates and is urging organizations with internet-facing Application Servers to install its latest emergency release as quickly as possible. Security researchers have also observed attackers abusing the flaws to access data stored on vulnerable servers. The software is…
The new POCO flagship packs a huge silicon-carbon battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 185Hz display and Bose-tuned 2.1 audio — but its price shows POCO is no longer playing only in the budget flagship market. POCO has officially launched the F9 Ultra, and the company is making a much more serious push into the premium smartphone market this time around. The new flagship combines Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a 6.9-inch 185Hz AMOLED display, a 200MP main camera, an 8,050mAh silicon-carbon battery and a Bose-developed 2.1-channel audio system with a dedicated subwoofer. POCO is also claiming…
Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5.1 for general use and Claude Mythos 5.1 for vetted organizations. Both use the same underlying model, but Mythos comes with fewer restrictions for advanced cybersecurity and life-science research. Anthropic is starting September with one of its biggest Claude releases of the year. The company has launched Claude Fable 5.1, its latest model for coding, reasoning and professional knowledge work, alongside Claude Mythos 5.1, a more restricted-access version of the same underlying model designed for organizations working on advanced cybersecurity and biological research. The distinction matters. Anthropic is effectively creating two paths for the same…
The investment is part of a much larger partnership that will connect MediaTek’s custom AI silicon to NVIDIA infrastructure, while the two companies expand their work across PCs and automotive systems. NVIDIA is putting another $3.5 billion behind its expanding AI ecosystem.The company has invested $3.5 billion in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek, while the two semiconductor giants are significantly expanding their collaboration across AI data centers, custom silicon, PCs and vehicles. The money is only one part of the story. The more important development is NVIDIA’s decision to bring MediaTek deeper into NVLink Fusion, its platform for connecting custom…
