We finally get a launch date for Apple's newest iPhones. And the company claims they will be "awe dropping." The iPhone 17 event will take place on September 9 at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Apple Park at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT.
Aside from the standard iPhone lineup, media reports have claimed that Apple will unveil a new 6.6-inch iPhone 17 Air, its slim and light model that's a step away from the company introducing foldable devices into its roster.

Live translation might be coming sooner than we think for the Apple AirPods. Images found in iOS 26 beta 6 suggest the feature is soon launching on Apple's wireless earbuds. As seen above, one of the photos shows the picture of AirPods with Hello said in different languages alongside a suggestion to double-press to activate the feature. The file itself was also named Translate, with MacRumors confirming the photo was seen in the files for the Translate app in the latest beta.
iOS 26 is going to bring Live Translation to the Phone and Messages apps and FaceTime, so it doesn't feel like too much of a stretch to see it come to AirPods for in-person translations.

It might be easier for you to catch up with the news from your favourite outlets with a new feature coming to Google Search. In markets like the US and India, Google is giving users the option to select their "preferred sources," allowing these publications to be prioritized when Google's top stories appear during a search for a current event. Aside from showing preferred sources, Google is looking to add a new "From your sources" section as well.
We're hoping the feature comes to Canada. And in case it does, you can customize your sources by searching for a timely topic. Tap on the icon beside the Top Stories label and then pick the outlets you read news from. The Verge noted that there aren't limits to how many sources you can add.
