Lapis One Hands Your AI Agent a Linux Box It Never Has to Share

By Jackson Chung September 9, 2026

Pamir AI built Lapis One so an agent can stop borrowing the family laptop. This finished 85 by 85 by 28 millimeter computer weighs 227 grams and looks closer to a small consumer gadget than a development board you still have to case. Painted white aluminum or anodized black aluminum wraps a plastic top shell. A Sharp 240 by 400 monochrome memory LCD sits on the face, the same low-power panel family used in Panic’s Playdate, so status lines and task notes can stay visible all day without chewing through the 3,300 mAh battery.

Apple’s New iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max Opens Its Eye with Six Hair-Thin Blades

By Jackson Chung September 9, 2026

Apple spent Wednesday morning rolling out iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, a pair that look familiar until you start poking at the main camera and the battery ratings. Same aluminum unibody as last year’s Pros, same camera plateau across the back, same Action Button and Camera Control on the side. Ceramic Shield 2 still covers the front glass, Ceramic Shield still covers the rear, and IP68 still covers a six-meter dunk for half an hour. Four finishes this time: black, silver, glacier, and a new burgundy.

New iPhones (18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, Duo, etc.) want faster wired charging, and plenty of laptops still expect a wall brick that can push 100W or more. This pack tries to cover both without forcing you to haul a second charger.

iPhone Duo Opens Apple’s Biggest Screen and Fits It in a Book-Style Foldable

By Jackson Chung September 9, 2026

Apple spent years watching other companies ship foldable phones. John Ternus used his first September event as CEO to close that gap with iPhone Duo, a short, wide book-style handset that closes like a passport and opens into a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR display. Ternus called it the most transformational change to iPhone since the original.
