Apple is still working on AR glasses, but it might be a while until they arrive.

This is according to market research company Omdia, which claims that Apple's AR glasses are probably coming in 2028, while Meta will launch its version some months earlier, likely in 2027.

The report focuses on a display tech called OLEDoS (OLED on silicon), a type of display that can show a high-resolution picture on a very small screen area. The AR glasses we see around today, including Meta's Ray-Ban Display, mostly use TFT LCD or LCoS (Liquid Crystal on silicon) displays, but it appears that both Apple and Meta are intent on using OLEDoS for their next-gen AR glasses.

Apple's own Vision Pro mixed reality headset, for example, uses OLEDoS for its two high-res displays.

OLEDoS has the advantage of being thin, light, and having a lower power consumption than LCoS displays. A third variant of near-eye display tech is LEDoS (LED on silicon), which has a longer lifespan and even lower power consumption than OLEDoS, but it's not widely manufactured yet.

As far as specs go, Apple's AR glasses will reportedly have two 0.6-inch OLEDoS displays, one on each lens.

Notably, a Bloomberg report from February 2025 claimed Apple has effectively canceled a version of AR glasses that would have to pair with a Mac to operate. The new AR glasses, which are still in the works, would likely be a standalone device.

The adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his adorable apprentice Grogu just got a lot bigger.

The pair jumps from TV to the big screen this year, headlining The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau directed the film and co-wrote it with Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni.

The Mandalorian and Grogu sees the young New Republic recruiting Din and Grogu to take down the Imperial warlords still scattered across the galaxy. The film's latest trailer shows the pair in action, whether it's Din annihilating any guard who stands in his way, or Grogu taking down a droid with the Force. (And no, I still can't get over Grogu's precious little armor.)

The trailer also highlights some of the characters — both new and familiar — whom Din and Grogu will be crossing paths with. Sigourney Weaver plays New Republic pilot and colonel Ward, who appears to be responsible for bringing Din and Grogu into the fold. Steven Blum returns as the voice of Star Wars Rebels character Garazeb "Zeb" Orrellios, who also appeared in The Mandalorian Season 3.

Then, of course, there's the matter of The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as the voice of Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta. Do we actually hear White's Hutt voice in the trailer? No. But do we see a very buff Rotta tearing it up in a fighting pit? Yes. Consider me intrigued and mildly terrified by this big, beefy, Bear-y Hutt.

The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.

Tributes are pouring in for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., who died on Tuesday aged 84.

The civil rights leader, Baptist minister, and founder of Chicago nonprofit Rainbow PUSH Coalition was a lifelong champion for social justice, human rights, and equality.

A key figure in the civil rights movement alongside Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson began with college sit-ins and demonstrations, and later ran as a Democratic candidate for president twice. He campaigned for equality and justice up to his eighties, demanding more equitability and diversity across society, including tech.

According to a statement issued by his family, Jackson died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, saying:

His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity. A tireless change agent, he elevated the voices of the voiceless from his Presidential campaigns in the 1980s to mobilising millions to register to vote - leaving an indelible mark on history.

Our father was a servant leader - not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world. We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honour his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.

According to the family statement, Jackson is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, children Santita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef, Jacqueline, daughter Ashley Jackson, and their grandchildren.

The internet has also begun mourning Jackson's passing, with civil rights activists, politicians, celebrities, and more posting tributes.

Some had Shirley, others had Obama, but, Jesse was the beacon for so many of my generation, teaching us early on that perseverance has no limits and hope plus action are two of the greatest forces for change. Thank you, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. May you rest in eternal peace and power.

People have also been celebrating one of Jackson's most influential and famed skills, oration, by sharing some of his memorable speeches and appearances.

Many have begun posting videos of Jackson's iconic "I Am – Somebody" chant which became synonymous with his speeches in the '70s.

Jesse Jackson adapted his “I am Somebody” speech many times, never more memorably than this moving 1971 Sesame Street appearance. RIP. youtu.be/iTB1h18bHlY
