Apple eliminates charging cables from AirPods Pro 3 packaging, following patterns established with iPhone accessory removal. The company continues this strategy after gradually eliminating wired earphones and power adapters from product bundles. AirPods Pro 2 models still contain USB-C charging cables, but the newer generation abandons this practice entirely. Apple claims environmental sustainability motivates these decisions, though revenue generation appears central to the strategy.
The technology giant shipped approximately 66 million AirPods units during 2024, creating substantial profit opportunities through separate accessory sales. Customers purchasing USB-C cables at $19 each could generate $1.254 billion in additional revenue...

FromSoftware announces a new challenging gameplay mode for Elden Ring Nightreign enthusiasts. The "Deep of Night" feature launches tomorrow with enhanced difficulty settings that exceed standard gameplay experiences. Players encounter stronger adversaries and face randomly assigned Nightlords without advance selection options. Survival duration directly correlates with escalating challenge intensity levels throughout sessions. Enhanced weaponry provides improved capabilities but carries negative attributes that may offset its advantages.
The new mode introduces Depth Relics exclusively available within this challenging environment. These powerful items function alongside existing relics through three additional equipment slots. Smart...
Capcom insider Dusk Golem reports that the company develops native versions of all RE Engine-powered Resident Evil titles for Nintendo Switch 2. The leaker states that Resident Evil Requiem will launch on the upcoming console alongside other franchise entries. These ports represent actual game installations rather than cloud-streaming versions available on the current Switch platform. Capcom has worked on these adaptations for an extended period according to the source. Switch 2 owners will access games that current Nintendo console users can only experience through cloud services.
The potential library encompasses Resident Evil VII Biohazard, Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3 remake, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4...
Apple sacrificed audio capabilities to achieve the iPhone Air's record-breaking 5.5mm thickness. The company relocated all processing components to the camera plateau and eliminated one speaker from the traditional dual-speaker configuration. This design decision marks the first single-speaker iPhone since the iPhone 7 series introduced stereo audio. Battery performance suffers from the space constraints, prompting Apple to develop a MagSafe battery pack accessory. The ultra-slim profile required multiple hardware compromises that affect core functionality.
Users who frequently consume media content may find the mono audio setup disappointing compared to previous iPhone models. Casual consumers might accept the trade-off for the...
Arc Games and Chief Rebel postponed Fellowship's early access release by one week from its original October 9 date. The multiplayer online dungeon adventure game will become available on Steam starting October 16 instead. Community Director Hamish Bode cited two primary reasons for this adjustment. The development team requires additional time to implement final polish and complete major gameplay changes from private testing. The original launch week features heavy competition from titles like Battlefield 6 and Legion Remix.
The open beta period will commence on September 18 and conclude on September 23 across North America, Europe, and Asia. Players can access seven different heroes spanning tank, damage, and healer roles during the...
Apple delivers enhanced power efficiency through eSIM technology rather than processor improvements alone in its latest iPhone 17 Pro models. The company restricts this advantage to United States customers and select international markets, while other regions receive devices with traditional physical SIM slots. eSIM variants provide two additional hours of video playback compared to their physical SIM counterparts due to increased internal space allocation. The iPhone 17 Pro achieves 30 hours of battery life while the Pro Max reaches 35 hours in supported regions, compared to 28 and 33 hours, respectively, for physical SIM versions. Apple reports the Pro Max model accommodates a 5,000mAh battery capacity through this design...

Apple's A19 Pro achieves a 13% performance gain over its A18 Pro predecessor through modest improvements. Geekbench 6 testing reveals single-core and multi-core scores of 3,895 and 9,746 points, respectively. The processor maintains Apple's leadership position in single-threaded performance against all smartphone competitors. Qualcomm and Samsung challenge Apple's dominance through their latest processor designs. The A19 Pro demonstrates Apple's continued focus on efficiency rather than raw performance pursuit.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processors outperform the A19 Pro in multi-threaded testing despite operating at reduced clock speeds. The underclocked Qualcomm chip achieves 11,515 points in multi-core tests while trailing single-core...
