Illustration: The Verge Tinder announced a $499 per month invite-only subscription, Tinder Select, on Friday, Bloomberg reports. As part of the premium plan, subscribers can message people they’ve not matched with, while the “most sought-after” users will see their profiles. Tinder says it only offers the plan to less than 1 percent of its users it considers “extremely active” and that the applications will open up on a rolling basis.“We know that there is a subset of highly engaged and active users who prioritize more effective and efficient ways to find connections,” said Tinder’s chief product officer, Mark Van Ryswyk. “So we engaged in extensive tests and feedback with this audience over the past several months to develop a completely new offering.”If...

Google has tried to tap into the augmented reality world several times. Augmented reality, commonly known as AR, can potentially be life-changing technology if used properly, but no tech company has managed to master it yet. Apple, for example, uses dedicated hardware, such as the LiDAR scanner included in iPads and iPhones, while other companies, like Google, are pulling everything off through software only. We're definitely getting closer to perfect AR, however, and Google is one of the companies leading the pack with its augmented reality SDK and technology, which it dubbed ARCore.

Pain Hustlers. | Image: Brian Douglas / Netflix Film festivals like TIFF are a great chance to get a sense of what’s coming to theaters in the coming months, but they’re also a good way to preview the upcoming streaming calendar. Last year in Toronto, for example, Netflix gave an early look at two of its biggest releases with both Wendell & Wild and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. This year was no different, with upcoming movies coming to Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV Plus all part of the program. (The streamers also went shopping at TIFF, so there’s more on the way: Netflix acquired the rights to both Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour and Richard Linklater’s Hit Man during the festival.)The good news is that you can stream a number of these movies from home very soon. Plan your... Continue reading…

The AirPods Pro 2 are arguably the best wireless earbuds for iPhone users, offering a wide range of features in a compact build. They are the only Apple pods to sport active noise cancelation (ANC) with adaptive transparency, plus they feature spatial audio and much more. So, expectedly, these AirPods come with an expensive price tag. Apple just announced that you can now purchase the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C charging case, but thankfully, the cost has remained the same between Lightning and USC-C models.

Microsoft is adding a new Screenshot tool to its Edge browser with a future update, and it's available in testing right now for those curious to try it.

Anker's been making quality accessories for quite some time, and has earned a reputation with its affordable and reliable products. While you can spend a fortune on accessories to enhance the experience of your mobile products, that's not always necessary, especially if you can find great deals on them.

There are tons of great tablets on the market, but we can’t deny that iPads are a couple of steps ahead of the competition. Yes, some interesting options can stand up against the more affordable base models, but there’s a huge gap between these tablets and the iPad Pro models. The latest models launched in 2022, and they are still, without a doubt, the best tablets you can get in 2023.

Apple's iPad Air is one of the best tablets available, offering a sleek design, impressive specifications, and a massive library of apps. While the iPad Air can be used to enjoy movies, games, and music, with the right iPad accessories, it can also become a productivity machine thanks to its excellent keyboard and stylus add-ons.

So small, so powerful. | Image: Apple The most significant new thing in the iPhone 15 Pro this year isn’t its lighter titanium frame, new A17 Pro processor, or its camera system (although all are appreciated). For me, it’s the Action Button: the little button above the volume keys that replaces the mute switch that had been on every iPhone since the very first one.The Action Button is perhaps the biggest hardware upgrade the iPhone line has received in years. It’s not a particularly advanced piece of technology — it’s literally just a button — but its programmability lets you use your iPhone in completely new ways.Apple showcased the Action Button in its announcement of the iPhone 15 Pro, and it was highlighted in many reviews that followed (including our own). But it... Continue reading…
