Apple's next Apple TV 4K is expected on September 9, and the headline feature is a Siri you can hold a conversation with. Siri AI runs on a custom 1.2 trillion parameter Google Gemini model inside Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which Apple reportedly pays Google around a billion dollars a year to license. It should reach the public with tvOS 27 in mid September, most likely around Monday the 14th. Leaked code in the macOS 26.7 release candidate lists an unreleased controller as ATVRemote1,5. Four years after the last box shipped, the living room finally gets the good Siri, and the remote gets demoted.

Most of the AI money right now is betting on robots. Hundreds of embodied-AI startups and their backers are convinced that a bipedal machine will eventually become the household's operating system, rolling from room to room and handling everything. Endong Zhang, the founder and CEO of LiveLarge Home Inc., thinks that's the wrong frame, and he's pretty candid about it.

Ferris Rezvani grew up on air bases watching his dad fly F-4 Phantoms, wanted to be a pilot, got told no for health reasons, and decided the next best thing was making cars that scared people the same way. That origin story has been decorating press releases for a decade. The Beast X is the first Rezvani where the hardware backs it up, with canards, an S duct venting through three raised hood strakes, fender extractors, a roof scoop and a twin hoop rear wing sitting over a triple exit exhaust buried in the diffuser. It costs around $500,000, only five will exist, and Rezvani claims 1,560 horsepower.

There is a term in behavioral economics called the IKEA effect, which says we value things more when we build them ourselves. It explains why you defend that wobbly BILLY bookcase like it's family. MB&F and French clockmaker Maison Alcée have taken that idea, put it in a suit, and charged CHF 12,000 for it. Their new desk clock arrives at your door as 222 loose components in a wooden box, along with a set of watchmaking tools and a 250-page book. You are the assembly line, and the clock does not tell time until you make it.

Berlin does this every September, and it never stops being slightly overwhelming. IFA 2026 runs September 4 to 8 across 27 halls at Messe Berlin, with more than 1,900 brands and something like 220,000 people wandering through them. This year the theme is “The Future Is Now”, which sounds like a slogan until you see the schedule. Humanoid robots are walking a catwalk on September 5. Xiaomi is exhibiting for the first time in the show's 102-year history. There is a robot football tournament. Somewhere in there, several hundred companies will also try to sell you a better toaster.

Back in 2015, Ferrari's own Centro Stile design studio floated a wild pitch: what if F1 cars actually looked cool again, without breaking a single technical regulation? They called it the F1 Concept, gave it a twin deck front wing and bodywork wrapped around the wheels like a second skin, and then, predictably, nothing happened with it. Formula 1 kept getting bigger, heavier, and angrier looking, right up until the FIA finally admitted the cars needed a diet for 2026. A decade later, an Italian designer working out of Modena picked that argument back up and ran with it, and honestly, he might have done Ferrari's own studio one better.

When a desktop printer moves 6,000 units and clears $20 million in revenue on day one, something is clearly going on beyond the usual pre-launch hype cycle.

Seventy percent of Samsung's record 1.44 million Galaxy Z8 series pre-orders went to the wide 4:3 model over the traditional tall one, a number that makes product planners cancel their afternoon meetings. Huawei saw it coming. The Pura X View, launched in China on August 20, is a slab phone with a 16:9.5 screen, no hinge, 6.68mm of thickness, and a 7,000mAh battery packed into 201 grams. Run the panel geometry and the body lands near 144 by 86mm, which is essentially the 2011 Galaxy Note's 146.9 by 83mm with fifteen years of thinning applied on top. The first phablet just came back, and it skipped the hinge entirely.
