Toyota’s Alphard and Vellfire aren’t your everyday people movers—they’re like first-class lounges on wheels, loaded with amenities that make even airline cabins feel cramped. These MPVs are taking aim straight at Mercedes and BMW, and Toyota is betting that wealthy families and execs want something a little different.

Meta is back with a new pair of AI smart glasses, and the reviews are in.

To start, I should clarify that the reviews are for the second generation version of the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, which first debuted a couple of years ago. In other words, this is not the upcoming Meta Ray-Ban Display unit that has a display in one of the lenses. The ones we're looking at today have no display, but do come with onboard cameras and some AI features.

Anyway, several outlets have published early reviews of the new display-less Ray-Ban glasses and they have lots of positive things to say. From improved battery life to 3K video recording, it sounds like there's plenty to like about these glasses, even if their reception of the AI features is mixed.

Here's what everyone has to say about these new specs.

The new battery is a huge plus

First things first, let's talk longevity. Put simply, it sounds like Meta's biggest improvement from the first pair of Ray-Ban glasses comes in the form of longer battery life. Meta rates the new glasses at about eight hours of use on a single charge, though Engadget's Karissa Bell (also a Mashable alum) didn't get quite that much during stress testing.

"I was able to squeeze a little more than five and a half hours of continuous music playback," Bell wrote. "That's a noticeable step up from the battery on my original pair which, after two years, is starting to show its age."

Meanwhile, Scott Stein of CNET had better results under more normal usage circumstances. (CNET is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis.)

"One day at Meta, the battery lasted from 8 a.m. to nearly 9 p.m. with occasional AI prompts, photos, videos, some music and phone calls. Another day, on a nonstop run to the airport with music and podcasts playing, it lasted from 9 a.m. breakfast to my 1 p.m. flight," Stein wrote. "Results varied day to day, but I'm no longer in the same battery-life panic with my glasses that I used to be."

The point is that the battery is better, even if it might depend on what you actually do with these glasses.

3K video recording is a nice bonus

Perhaps unfortunately, the still camera photography capabilities on the new Meta Ray-Ban glasses are unchanged. The cameras still come in at 12MP with a max resolution of 3024x4032. However, Meta packed in some exciting new video features this time around.

Specifically, you can now record videos in 3K resolution or 60 frames per second, but not both at the same time, sadly. I should also mention that reviewers didn't have access to the 60FPS option because it's coming in a software update. Still, James Pero of Gizmodo had very nice things to say about 3K video recording on the new Ray-Ban glasses.

"Where some edges used to be blurred and a little too smooth, the videos recorded in 3K feel like a more accurate slice of life," Pero wrote. "That’s not going to be important to everyone (a lot of people are just going to take still photos), but if you’re like me and you want to capture some beautiful foliage on a bike ride, the upgrade is welcome."

That said, not everyone was as impressed by the new video shooter. Michael L. Hicks of Android Central said the difference wasn't that noticeable. He also lightly took Meta to task for the lack of improvements to still photography.

"Honestly, I just wish we'd seen a photo quality boost, as well," Hicks wrote. "The unchanged 3024 X 4032 resolution is still great in ideal conditions, but I'd still like to see better low-light quality, color balancing that's not quite so oversaturated, or some kind of optical zoom (if that's feasible in glasses form) when the Gen 3s arrive in a couple of years."

AI features are hit-or-miss

Lastly, just like before, these glasses offer hands-free, voice-activated AI features. You can look at something with the camera and ask the voice assistant to identify it for you, as an example. Reviews were mixed on these features. Let's go to Hicks for more.

"Meta AI can be undeniably helpful for on-the-go questions, live translations, or Live AI. But I'd like it to be better at answering questions about the glasses themselves, such as telling me what video resolution is active or what the touchpad shortcuts are, rather than telling me where to look for myself," Hicks wrote. "And I hear the response 'I can't help with that, but I'm learning more every day!' if I ask it to do anything too complicated, such as 'Take a 15-second video.'"

Meanwhile, Stein over at CNET had trouble with its recognition functionality.

"While these glasses can describe your surroundings or offer supposedly helpful commentary by snapping a photo and analyzing it, the range of responses is unpredictable. Sometimes Meta is accurate; other times it just makes things up," Stein wrote. "Most days, I find myself having existential arguments with the on-glasses AI voice of Judi Dench (one of several voices you can choose from) about things like the stuffed animals my son is holding up on the sofa."

Live translation also sounds like a major perk here. Over at Engadget, Bell had positive things to say about her experiences with that feature, while noting that it can also be a huge battery drain.

"On a recent trip to Argentina, I used live translation to follow along with a walking tour of the famous Recoleta cemetery. It wasn't perfect — the feature is meant more for back-and-forth conversations rather than extended monologues — but it allowed me to participate in a tour I would have otherwise had to skip," Bell wrote.

All in all, it sounds like these new Meta glasses are a decent upgrade over the original, especially when it comes to longevity. However, if you want to feel really futuristic, you might want to wait for the Ray-Ban Display glasses instead.

“Speculation on top of speculation” can be used to describe any number of Elon Musk's daily posts on his social media platform X.

However, in this particular case, that's how Apple's lawyers are responding to X Corp.'s lawsuit against the company, which alleges rigged App Store charts and favoritism towards certain AI apps.

On Tuesday, Apple filed its response to Musk and his company, asking the judge to outright dismiss the case.

Musk's company filed a lawsuit against Apple back in August. X Corp. claimed that Apple was "working in tandem" with ChatGPT creator OpenAI in order to "maintain their monopolies." This followed Musk taking to — where else? — X to openly accuse Apple and OpenAI of rigging the App Store against xAI and Grok. In his suit, Musk alleged that Apple was preventing his companies and products from fairly competing.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The lawsuit specifically singled out Apple's deal with OpenAI, in which ChatGPT powers some of the company's Apple Intelligence features. However, according to Apple's lawyers, its deal with OpenAI is not "exclusive."

"Apple and OpenAI's agreement is expressly not exclusive, and it is public and widely known that Apple intends to partner with other generative AI chatbots," Apple's lawyers said.

OpenAI's lawyers also responded to Musk's lawsuit against them, claiming Musk is engaging in "a campaign of lawfare" and also asked the judge to dismiss the case.

X Corp. claimed that Apple's partnership with OpenAI meant that Apple had to "simultaneously" partner "with every other generative AI chatbot." Apple's lawyers scoffed at the idea, responding simply that " antitrust laws do not require that.” 

Musk also alleged in the lawsuit that Apple was rigging the App Store rankings in favor of ChatGPT and hurting Musk's apps like X and Grok.

When Musk first posted his theory that Apple was rigging the App Store against Grok, X users were quick to point out that numerous other AI apps have hit the top of the App Store rankings. (Musk's theory was also refuted by Community Notes.) Most recently, Gemini has been dominating App Store charts thanks to the runaway success of Nano Banana, an AI image editor.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Are you an apartment dweller who dreams of a lush garden and endless access to seasonal produce? If you don't have the backyard fit for such dreams, you could bring your garden inside. Gardyn's indoor hydroponic systems allow you to grow fresh produce and flowers inside your home.

Mashable Deputy Shopping Editor Miller Kern tested the Gardyn Studio and was able to grow salads and burger toppings all from her apartment. Now, Gardyn is launching the second generation of its apartment-sized system: the Studio 2. We went hands-on with the new Studio 2 ahead of its launch.

About the Gardyn Studio 2 The Gardyn Studio 2 now comes with no-clean columns and sunrise/sunset lighting. Credit: Gardyn

The Gardyn Studio 2 is made for apartment dwellers, taking up about 1.4 square feet of space and standing 4.5 feet tall. Like the previous generation of Studio, it can grow up to 16 plants at once and self waters with a five-gallon tank. It has an included LED light to provide the right amount of light for the plants.

The new Studio 2 is similar to the original Studio with a few key upgrades. The new Gardyn system has no-clean columns with sealed silicone modules to prevent build-up and minimize maintenance.

The 24/7 camera included on the Studio 2 has upgraded HD, which lets users and Gardyn's built-in AI system get a better picture for health monitoring. Plus, it now has sunrise and sunset lighting that mimics the natural life cycle.

The Studio 2 will launch at $549, a $50 increase from the previous Gardyn Studio. It will be available at Amazon and The Home Depot and starts shipping on Oct. 15.

I've only had the Gardyn Studio 2 set up in my apartment for a week, so it doesn't look nearly as lush as Kern's does now that hers is fully grown. However, I am pleased with the system and just how easy it is. Setup was a breeze — far easier than a piece of Ikea furniture. The hardest part was the number of trips to the sink to fill up the five-gallon tank.

The starter kit is exceptionally easy. No gardening gloves or potting soil are required. You plug in yPods to the system, which then automatically get watered. Using Gardyn's built-in AI assistant, Kelby, doesn't require much thought — Kelby takes care of the watering and light and sends reminders about when to distribute plant food.

The Gardyn yPods don't look like much to start, but in a few weeks, they'll start to sprout. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

I was looking forward to trying the Gardyn Studio 2, especially with the new lighting; however, one thing to note about the Gardyn is that it's really bright. Before I embarked on testing, Kern warned me that the Gardyn Studio was extremely bright.

She's right. Even with Studio 2's sunrise and sunset lighting, it's still so bright even when dimmed 50 percent. Plus, for recommended plant growth, you need to have the lights on around the clock, which could disrupt your home's ambient lighting.

It's a worthy sacrifice for all the fresh produce you're growing, but definitely something to consider before buying and placing in your home.

While there aren't a ton of differences between the Gardyn Studio and Studio 2, that's not necessarily a bad thing. In our review of the Gardyn Studio, we were impressed by its efficacy and ease, and we expect the same from the Studio 2.

Satellite-connected smartphones are still in their infancy, but that isn't stopping T-Mobile from developing new features and capabilities. If you've tried T-Mobile's satellite service but wish it worked with more apps, we have good news. Those going off-grid can now use T-Satellite to access data on several essential apps.

Updating your BIOS is different from updating Windows or installing a new driver. It’s a low-level firmware update for your motherboard and if something goes wrong during the process, you could be left with a “bricked” computer that won’t power up or boot. This is why a lot of power users are reluctant to update the BIOS. I follow an “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it policy” when it comes to BIOS updates.

This was another notable week for Windows PCs, with the release of the major Windows 11 2025 update and a few more changes being tested in the Insider channels. Here’s everything Microsoft rolled out in Windows this week.

It's about to get a lot easier to toggle between Street View and Satellite View on Google Maps on Android — and it's coming via an Aerial View button.

According to a report from Android Authority, the code in Google Maps' newest version, v25.39.07, allows users to seamlessly switch between Satellite View, also known as Aerial View, and Street View while you're looking at the map via Street View. A simple button labeled "Aerial" in the bottom-left corner of the display reportedly switches between views.

SEE ALSO: Google Maps will now let you search your saved locations

Android Authority, which activated the button before its release, showed that the "Aerial button essentially brings users to a top-down, close-up of the Satellite View, and it works across both the 2D and 3D satellite maps."

Users can switch back to Street View at any time, the outlet reported. According to the news outlet, Aerial view even remembers which direction you're facing in Street View when you transition to another view.

This isn't official yet, and Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable. But this is about to really elevate the way we explore a city before visiting — or find where that storefront is.

My Samsung S21 FE died, and the phone I have my sights on—the 256GB Pixel 10 Pro—won't be available where I live until October. After several repair shops quoted me over $200 for a screen replacement, I decided to give my old Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 a chance.

Just a day after Amazon rolled out new products, Google is answering with a lineup of Nest smart home devices, as both companies vie for dominance in AI-powered living.

The new devices include an indoor ($100) and outdoor Nest Cam ($150), a Nest Doorbell ($180), and a Google Home Speaker ($99). The camera-based products are available now, but the directional speaker won’t hit shelves until spring 2026.

The updated cameras bring a few notable upgrades: sharper 2K video resolution (up from 1080p), HDR recording, and wider fields of view. The Nest Cam now captures a 152-degree perspective, while the new Nest Doorbell stretches that to a 166-degree diagonal view.

Still, the real centerpiece of the event was Gemini for Home, which replaces Google Assistant across the company's smart devices. According to the company, the Google Home app has been revamped with new tabs for Home, Activity, and Automations. A standout feature is "Ask Home," pitched as a "natural command center" designed to make managing your devices more conversational.

Gemini Live will also be available on all speakers and displays, but there’s a catch: Most of the new functionality sits behind a paywall. Google Home Advanced costs $20 per month (or $200 annually) and unlocks the full suite of Gemini for Home features.

A cheaper, $10-per-month plan offers 30-day event history, intelligent alerts, and Gemini Live, but excludes the upgraded Gemini for Home tools.

Right now, you can get the fantastic Razer Kraken V3 HyperSense Wired USB Gaming Headset for an impressive 39% off its original price. This major discount knocks the price down to a surprisingly low $80 on Woot, a great deal considering its normal price of $130.

Apple has added nearly a dozen products to its vintage list, the first step toward obsolescence.

The move was first spotted by the Apple-focused tech site Mac Rumors. So, what Apple products are now vintage?

In short: the iPhone 11 Pro Max and every model of the Apple Watch Series 3. The iPhone 11 Pro Max dropped in 2019 while the Series 3 debuted in 2017. Curiously, the regular iPhone 11 Pro was not deemed vintage, suggesting Apple could continue to distribute the phone to resellers for the time being.

SEE ALSO: Apple claims MagSafe stands are responsible for iPhone 17 'Scratchgate'

What does the vintage list mean? Well, for now, not much. It just signifies the product is old. Typically speaking, a product is added to the list five years after Apple stops selling it, but the company will still offer service and parts. Not much changes for another half a decade. But five years after being added to the vintage list, Apple may classify the product as obsolete, which means the company will no longer offer support for it.

So, again, being vintage is Step 1 toward being obsolete. There's a metaphor for life in there somewhere.

If you're wondering whether self-emptying would be worth it for your robot vacuum purchase, just consider your entire justification for wanting a robot vacuum cleaner in the first place. If it's to save time and effort on a chore you don't feel like doing, you just answered your own question. Dustbin maintenance definitely counts as part of that chore, and future you will be thankful that you opted for a self-emptying robot vacuum on sale this October Prime Day.

Self-emptying robot vacuums aren't nearly as tied to the size or budget constraints that they were when they were the fancy new thing in 2021. A ton of self-emptying docks are compact enough to work in a small apartment, and almost all of the best cheap robot vacuums under $300 or $400 are auto-emptying. During an Amazon sale like Prime Big Deal Days, the number of options in any price range grows. I'm already seeing a handful of vacuums beating their own prices from Prime Day in July.

If you do have floor space or extra cash to spare, the ultimate auto-empty dock to eye would be one that also auto-washes and dries the robot vac's mopping pads. This is a main feature on high-end robot vacuum and mop combos near $1,000, but can be found for as low as $399.99 on sale.

I'm tracking the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuums ahead of and throughout October Prime Day. If a self-empty dock is also a mop washing station for a robot vacuum that mops, that'll also be pointed out below.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

This Roborock Qrevo model is the updated version of the Roborock Qrevo S: Mashable readers' most purchased robot vacuum during Cyber Monday 2024. Compared to the Qrevo S, the Qrevo with no S has stronger suction power (8,000 Pa versus 6,000 Pa) and meets my minimum number for sufficient pet hair pickup for one pet. Despite being the stronger model, the Qrevo on sale for October Prime Day is $60 cheaper than the weaker model.

Other advanced features squeezed into this $399.99 package include self-washing and -drying mopping pads and small obstacle avoidance. It's easily one of the best bangs for your buck that you'll find before Black Friday.

I've been saying it for months: The 3i G10+ is the best robot vacuum under $500, but most people have never heard of it. This up-and-coming model rocked in more ways than one during my testing, but its approach to automatic emptying is the most relevant here. There's no self-emptying dock here at all — rather, the 3i G10+ compacts debris within the robot vacuum body itself. You're still off duty from dealing with the dust bin for around two months or so.

3i also packed a few other high-end features into this budget vacuum: namely small obstacle avoidance and, even rarer in this price range, a livestream pet camera. And it's all contained in a compact design that can be stored under a TV stand.

One Netflix title has taken the world by storm, being noticed for its incredible animation, soundtrack, and story. It has also brought the spotlight back to the Korean content, including dramas, films, and music, across streaming platforms like Netflix and Spotify.

Apple just launched a new lineup of flagship iPhones, but it's probably not done releasing new products this year. We could still get new AirTags, MacBooks, or even iPads.

To be clear, nothing is officially announced as of yet, but Apple watchers are paying close attention to a new leak that suggests something might be unveiled soon. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman spotted an unboxing video on YouTube for a new M5 iPad Pro. The video, uploaded by a Russian account called Wylsacom, features about 13 minutes of very explicit, up-close footage of a new iPad that Apple fully hasn't said anything about yet.

To be clear, we can't independently verify that this M5 iPad Pro is legit, but Gurman is a reliable source of Apple news.

If the product in the video is real, the new model looks physically identical to the M4 iPad Pro released a year ago. It's very thin with a single camera on the back, just like its predecessor. One thing that stands out (apart from the fact that at one point in the video the YouTuber smells the tablet, for some reason) is that it's purportedly a 256GB model with 12GB of RAM. Previously, the M4 iPad Pro with 256GB of storage only had 8GB of RAM, so that would be an upgrade. According to the YouTuber, the new Apple tablet also outperforms the old one in benchmark tests, which is not a surprise.

There are a couple of weird things to note here, as pointed out by 9to5Mac. First, Apple doesn't sell its products in Russia, so it's hard to figure out how this guy got his hands on a new, unannounced iPad. Second, this isn't the first time this has happened. The same account did the same thing with the M4 MacBook Pro last year.

Go figure.

Raspberry Pi has announced price increases of $5 to $10 on some of its 4GB and 8GB devices, including popular Compute Modules and the Raspberry Pi 500 unit. The primary culprit is the unprecedented global demand for memory, which shot up the demand roughly 120% compared to a year ago.
