Summer stretches days longer and pulls people toward trails, water, and full days outside. A watch that handles knocks, stays readable in bright light, and runs for extended stretches without a charger becomes more than nice to have. The Apple Watch Ultra 3, priced at $699.99 (was $799), fills that role for many who want one device to cover serious activity and everyday tracking.

Nothing just rolled out the Phone 4b with a clear focus on giving people longer battery life and reliable daily performance at a price that stays practical. The new model blends design ideas from recent Nothing phones into a single device that feels familiar yet refined in the areas that matter most for real use.

Liel Farhat enjoyed a sailing trip with friends near Athens when her iPhone 16 Pro ended up in the sea during a swimming stop. She had set the device down to take a photo. It slid into a net on the yacht and disappeared beneath the surface.

Over the weekend, visitors wandering along Australia’s Forrest Beach, just north of Townsville, came across something pretty unusual. A host of shining, metallic spheres began washing up on the beach, attracting attention due to their unique shapes and fittings in an area of the coastline where little else happens. Six of these appeared on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each almost twice the size of a basketball.

Vertu has positioned its new Alpha Fold as a true ultra-luxury folding phone. The neon green version arrives wrapped in what the company describes as real alligator skin and carries a price near nine thousand dollars. JerryRigEverything acquired one and ran it through the full sequence of scratch, flame, bend, and teardown trials to see where the money actually goes and how the device performs under stress.
