Nothing Headphone (1) Pro Leaked: Triple-Driver Audio, 60-Hour Battery and September 29 Launch

11 September 2026 at 04:15

Nothing appears to be preparing a more premium version of its over-ear headphone lineup. According to information reported by Dealabs, the company is expected to introduce the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro in the coming weeks, with a European price of €349 and a U.S. price of $399. Nothing’s move into premium headphones also gives the brand another way to extend its distinctive Nothing’s transparent design language beyond smartphones and earbuds.

The new model is reportedly scheduled to launch on September 29, positioning it firmly in the premium wireless headphone market rather than the entry-level segment.

Nothing’s Transparent Design Gets a Premium Treatment

The Headphone (1) Pro is expected to continue Nothing’s recognizable design language, including the brand’s semi-transparent aesthetic. The headphones are reportedly offered in black and white, while the construction combines an aluminum body with scratch-resistant glass elements.

The headset is also said to carry an IP52 rating, providing some protection against dust and light water exposure. While that rating does not make the headphones suitable for heavy rain or water immersion, it could provide additional peace of mind during everyday use.

Triple-Driver System Could Be the Biggest Upgrade

One of the most interesting features of the Headphone (1) Pro is its reported three-driver audio architecture. Instead of relying on a conventional single-driver setup, the headphones are expected to use separate drivers to handle different parts of the frequency range.

The high-frequency section could use an XMEMS driver, a technology designed around extremely fast mechanical response and precise high-frequency reproduction. If implemented as reported, the combination could give Nothing a stronger technical selling point against other premium wireless headphones.

The company is also reportedly working with Metropolis Studios, a well-known London recording and mastering facility, on the headphone’s tuning. That collaboration could help Nothing pursue a more studio-oriented sound profile rather than simply emphasizing heavy bass or consumer-friendly sound.

10 Microphones and Adaptive ANC

The Headphone (1) Pro is expected to include 10 microphones, which could support both active noise cancellation and voice-related functions.

The headphones are reportedly equipped with adaptive active noise cancellation (adaptive ANC) that can adjust to surrounding conditions. A transparency mode is also expected, allowing users to hear environmental sounds without removing the headphones.

This combination should make the Headphone (1) Pro more practical for commuting, office use and other situations where users may need to switch between immersive listening and environmental awareness.

Hi-Res Audio, LDAC and More Sound Controls

For wireless audio, the new headphones are expected to support LDAC and Hi-Res Audio, potentially giving compatible devices access to higher-quality Bluetooth audio transmission.

Nothing is also reportedly preparing a Flat EQ option alongside more advanced sound-adjustment features. The company may position these controls toward listeners who want greater control over how their music sounds rather than relying solely on preset profiles.

The reported involvement of Metropolis Studios further suggests that audio quality will be one of the major selling points of the Pro model.

Bluetooth 6.1 and a 3.5mm Headphone Jack

Connectivity is another area where the Headphone (1) Pro could stand out. The headset is reportedly expected to use Bluetooth 6.1, while also retaining a 3.5mm audio jack.

The wired connection will be useful for listeners who prefer a direct audio connection, want to avoid Bluetooth compression, or need to connect the headphones to devices without wireless audio support.

The combination of modern Bluetooth connectivity and a traditional wired input also gives the headphones greater flexibility across different listening environments.

Up to 60 Hours of Battery Life

Battery life could be another major advantage. The Headphone (1) Pro is reportedly capable of delivering up to 60 hours of playback, although real-world endurance will likely depend on factors such as ANC usage, volume level, codec selection and connection mode.

The headphones are also expected to support fast charging, allowing users to restore listening time without keeping the headset connected to power for long periods.

Nothing Headphone (1) Pro: What to Expect

Based on the leaked information, the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro could be a significant step beyond a typical lifestyle-focused wireless headset. Its combination of a three-driver audio system, XMEMS technology, 10 microphones, adaptive ANC, LDAC, Bluetooth 6.1 and up to 60 hours of battery life gives it a specification sheet aimed squarely at the premium market.

The reported €349 European price and $399 U.S. price would also put it in direct competition with established premium headphone brands.

Nothing has yet to officially confirm all of these specifications, so the final hardware, features and regional pricing should be treated as unconfirmed until the company makes its announcement. If the September 29 launch date is accurate, more official details should emerge soon.

OpenAI anuncia novidades para o ChatGPT Voice, Work, Codex e a Biblioteca

11 September 2026 at 01:23

A OpenAI anunciou recentemente uma série de novidades para o ChatGPT, incluindo uma atualização muito bem-vinda para usuários do ChatGPT Voice.

Agora, o assistente pode usar os modelos GPT-5.6 ou GPT-6 Astra quando precisa pesquisar ou raciocinar sobre questões mais difíceis — e o usuário pode escolher qual usar com um seletor.

Além disso, a empresa também simplificou os limites de uso diários do GPT-Live:

  • Go: até 3 horas com o GPT-Live-1 mini, substituindo o acesso ao GPT-Live-1;
  • Plus: até 3 horas com o GPT-Live-1;
  • Pro (US$100/mês): até 15 horas com o GPT-Live-1;
  • Pro (US$200/mês): uso ilimitado do GPT-Live-1;
  • Plus e Pro: não mudam mais para o GPT-Live mini depois de atingir o limite de uso do Voice.

Com essas mudanças, os planos Plus e Pro não mudam mais para o GPT-Live-1 mini depois de atingir o limite de uso do Voice. Além disso, os níveis separados de inteligência do Voice (Instant, Medium e High) foram descontinuados.

Novidades para o ChatGPT Work e Codex

A OpenAI anunciou também que a Deep Research está agora disponível no ChatGPT Work e no Codex para os planos Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise e Edu. Basta ao usuário digitar @Deep Research ou pedir explicitamente para usá-la no comando.

Outra novidade chegando aos dois recursos é o plugin Data, que ajuda a analisar dados de negócios conectados. É possível fazer uma pergunta sobre um negócio, investigar mudanças ou até mesmo criar um dashboard interativo sobre o conteúdo analisado.

Now everyone can put data to work.

We’re introducing a new Data agent in ChatGPT Work so you can turn your company’s data into answers, interactive dashboards, and action—just by asking.

Just add the Data Plugin in ChatGPT Work, connect to the data sources and context you… pic.twitter.com/R7N3I2NFCN

— ChatGPT (@ChatGPT) September 10, 2026

Biblioteca

Agora também é possível compartilhar arquivos e pastas no ChatGPT pela Biblioteca. É possível compartilhar com pessoas específicas ou com integrantes do workspace, com opções de gerenciamento de acesso e uma visualização dos conteúdos compartilhados.

Por fim, a Biblioteca também suporta agora o Box, o Dropbox e o SharePoint, que se juntam ao Google Drive para permitir que o usuário pesquise com facilidade por arquivos e pastas disponíveis nessas plataformas e os usem como contexto em conversas.

Esses são os dispositivos que a Apple descontinuou após o evento “Surprise and shine”

9 September 2026 at 22:52

Há pouco, durante a keynote “Surprise and shine” (“Surpreendente e brilhante”), a Apple apresentou novos iPhones (inclusive um modelo dobrável inédito), Apple Watches atualizados e até mesmo uma nova geração dos AirPods — os quais, naturalmente, substituíram os seus antecessores diretos no portfólio de produtos da Maçã.

Entre os que abriram espaço para os novos aparelhos, temos os populares iPhones 17 Pro e 17 Pro Max, lançados há exatamente um ano. Isso, é claro, está longe de ser uma surpresa, já que a Apple tem o costume de descontinuar os seus modelos topos-de-linha sempre que anuncia uma nova geração.

Divulgação/Apple

Muito parecidos em termos de design com os iPhones 18 Pro e 18 Pro Max, eles chamavam atenção pela opção de cor laranja-cósmico (cosmic orange), bem como pelo corpo unibody feito de alumínio — depois de anos apostando no aço inoxidável/titânio. Com sua descontinuação, os iPhones 17, Air e 17e permanecem como os remanescentes da última geração de smartphones da Apple.

Outro iPhone que se despediu de nós foi o iPhone 16 Plus, o “irmão maior” do modelo intermediário lançado em 2024. Muito parecido com o iPhone 17 (que não conta com uma variante Plus) no visual, ele nunca chegou a cair nas graças do público, que parecia sempre preferir o modelo menor ou partir logo para os iPhones Pro — sina carregada também pelos iPhones 14 Plus e 15 Plus.

Divulgação/Apple

Partindo agora para os relógios inteligentes da Maçã, temos mais duas baixas esperadas: o Apple Watch Series 11 e o Apple Watch Ultra 3, que deram lugar, obviamente, para o Series 12 e o Ultra 4 — situação parecida com a dos iPhones Pro, já que a Maçã também costuma descontinuar seus relógios mais recentes assim que anuncia novas versões.

Assim como seus sucessores, o Series 11 e o Ultra 3 introduziram apenas melhorias pontuais quando foram revelados no ano passado [1, 2], mantendo o visual geral de modelos anteriores.

Divulgação/Apple

Por fim, temos os AirPods 4 (introduzidos em 2024), que vinham em versões com e sem cancelamento ativo de ruído (ANC, na sigla em inglês), tendo sido os primeiros dessa linha a contar com esse recurso como opção. Anunciadas hoje, ambas as versões dos AirPods 5 vêm com ANC (que, inclusive, está 50% melhor), com a diferença entre elas sendo, desta vez, a presença do controle deslizante de volume nas hastes e um estojo compatível com recarga sem fio no modelo mais caro.

Donos de iPhones antigos ganham mais um ano de comunicação via satélite gratuita

9 September 2026 at 21:27

Após as muitas novidades do evento especial de mais cedo, a Apple anunciou no comunicado de imprensa sobre os iPhones 18 Pro que está estendendo o período de acesso gratuito à conexão via satélite para aparelhos mais antigos.

Segundo a empresa, donos de iPhones das linhas 14, 15 e 16 poderão acessar os recursos por mais um ano — algo disponível para quem já ativou o serviço em um país suportado.

O serviço de comunicação via satélite oferecido pela Apple, vale recordar, é apresentado como um teste gratuito — o que significa que a empresa pretende cobrar por ele futuramente.

Não se sabe, no entanto, o quão distante estaria essa cobrança, visto que a empresa vem adiando o período de teste gratuito para os aparelhos compatíveis desde o seu lançamento, em 2022.

Isso significa que a linha iPhone 14 já teve o prazo de gratuidade (que originalmente havia sido prometido para apenas dois anos) para o serviço por três vezes desde o ano supracitado.

Apesar de a conectividade via satélite ainda não estar disponível por aqui, não deixa de ser uma boa notícia, não é mesmo?

Apple aumenta preços de iPhones (novos e antigos) no Brasil e nos EUA

9 September 2026 at 20:42

É, meus amigos… A crise causada pelo aumento dos custos de chips de memória e armazenamento atingiu o produto mais consolidado da Apple, o iPhone.

A empresa atualizou, há pouco, a Apple Store Online com os novos valores praticados para os smartphones que já estavam em linha antes da chegada dos iPhones 18 Pro/18 Pro Max e Duo. E sim, nem o 17e escapou!

Como já era de se esperar, esses aumentos se refletiram em vários outros países onde a Apple atua, como o Brasil.

Rivals season 2 part 2 release date confirmed by Hulu and Disney+ — but it's the first-look images that have me screaming

  • Rivals season 2 part 2 release date confirmed for November 11 by Hulu and Disney+
  • Begins with a three-episode premiere followed by weekly releases
  • Upcoming episodes will feature 'a Hunt Ball, a chaotic Bonfire Night and a very Rivals Christmas

Breathe a sign of relief, Jilly Cooper fans: Rivals season 2 part 2 returns to Hulu (US) and Disney+ (international) from November 11, 2026.

The season's second half is set to kick off with a three-episode premiere, with weekly releases of the remaining three episodes following after.

Our core cast is set to return — well, all except for one, which we'll get to in a minute — but we'll also see the introduction of three important new characters.

Rachael Stirling will play Lady Monica Baddingham’s vampish younger sister Araminta Pemberton, Rupert Evans is erudite headmaster David Hawkley, and Santiago Cabrera takes on the role of Argentinian Polo legend Alejandro Mendoza.

While overarching plot details have been limited to episodes featuring " a Hunt Ball, a chaotic Bonfire Night and a very Rivals Christmas," the shock part 1 cliffhanger tells us exactly where we'll be picking the action up... and that's a bittersweet thing.

Rivals season 2 part 2 first-look images tease a Lizzie-Freddie reconciliation

Spoilers for Rivals season 2 part 1 ahead.

Rivals season 2 part 2 is set to pick back up with Monica's (Claire Rushbrook) funeral, with the full mid-season synopsis reading: " Picking up after the gut-wrenching mid-series finale, Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) and Declan O'Hara's (Aiden Turner) battle for the Cotswolds crown reaches fever pitch, while Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) is forced to confront his own personal demons.

"Against a backdrop of hedonistic parties, Bonfire Night chaos, the Hampshire Hunt Ball and a turbulent Christmas, affairs unravel, alliances fracture and rivalries intensify. Caught in the middle of the frenzied franchise war, Taggie O'Hara (Bella Maclean) must find the courage to follow her heart, while those around her face the consequences of ambition, power and secrets that can no longer remain hidden. But as series two draws to a close, who will get their happy ending?"

Freddie and Lizzie look at each other

Not only does this signal that Taggie and Rupert will find their way back to each other before the season ends, but the above first-look image also teases an much-anticipated reunion between Freddie (Danny Dyer) and Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson).

After almost being caught together in the first half of season 2, Lizzie decided to be the bigger person and end things with Freddie before their colliding worlds got any more complicated. Has this decision made her happy? No, so you know that it's not going to last for long.

Expect "secrets, betrayals and explosive twists," and if we're being honest... that's just the start of it.

What is the release date for Lioness season 3 episode 7 on Paramount+?

God, the search for Joe (Zoe Saldaña) is taking its sweet time, isn't it? At this rate, things still won't be resolved by next week's Lioness season 3 finale.

The CIA has narrowed its rescue search to the Houston area, but fallout from dismantled Russian networks in Washington has led to some tense confrontations and a pretty disastrous decision for one of our leading senators.

But surely this week has to bring better things... right? And when does Lioness season 3 episode 7 arrive on Paramount+?

What time can I watch Lioness season 3 episode 7 on Paramount+?

Lioness season 3 episode 7 will drop on one of the world's best streaming services in the US and Canada on Sunday, September 13 at 12am PT / 3am ET.

The universal language of space is... Star Trek? Mais oui.

8 September 2026 at 21:20

Sixty years after television audiences first tuned in to see the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, an astronaut on board the International Space Station has paid tribute to Star Trek by flying the badge of the franchise's latest fictional captain.

Expedition 75 flight engineer Sophie Adenot with European Space Agency (ESA) donned the Delta badge originally worn by actor Anson Mount for a video recorded from aboard the space station. Mount portrays Christoper Pike in the Paramount+ streaming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Paramount and ESA both released the clip on their Instagram feeds.

"For 60 years, Star Trek has brought us stories of friendship and exploration. I'm wearing Captain Pike's badge aboard the ISS in celebration of continuing the real world work of science and exploration," said Adenot. "For me, exploration and science are about curiosity and cooperation daring to go a little farther together, learning from what we discover and build, and turning that knowledge into a better future for everyone."

Apple preps privacy-first home security cameras and monitoring service

4 September 2026 at 18:00

Apple logo with security lock

Apple is preparing a dedicated home-security product line and a companion monitoring service, according to Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman, as the company maps a broader expansion of its smart-home business beyond next week’s iPhone event.

In a Sept. 4 report on Apple’s product pipeline under new Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, Gurman said the company is working on an in-home security sensor and system slated for 2027. The device is described as a privacy-centric camera and automation accessory that would use artificial intelligence to watch a room’s environment rather than continuously storing traditional video footage. That hardware, he wrote, is expected to tap into a new Apple home-security and monitoring service.

The framing is consistent with earlier Gurman reporting that Apple has been developing battery-powered security hardware — previously discussed as a camera and later as a small sensor, internally associated with the J450 project — that can recognize people, use infrared sensing, and trigger automations such as lights or music when a household member enters or leaves a room. Apple has also been said to be exploring a wider lineup that could eventually include additional cameras and a facial-recognition doorbell aimed at rivals such as Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest.

A service layer would be a notable shift. Apple already offers HomeKit Secure Video through iCloud, but Gurman’s latest account points to a more complete security and monitoring offering — the kind of recurring product that could sit alongside Apple’s other subscription businesses. Industry coverage of the same Bloomberg report has noted that such a service could later be bundled into Apple One, though Apple has not announced pricing, professional monitoring, or how much processing would stay on-device.

The security push is part of a larger home reset. Gurman and other reports have said Apple is first rolling out refreshed living-room hardware, including a new Apple TV 4K, an updated HomePod mini, and a screen-equipped home hub often referred to as a HomePad, before the 2027 security system arrives. The company has long lagged Amazon and Google in connected-home hardware even as it has marketed privacy as a differentiator. An AI-first sensor that avoids constant video recording would be an attempt to turn that brand position into a product category.

Apple has not publicly confirmed the devices or the service. Details on design, battery life, outdoor coverage, emergency dispatch, and whether video would still be captured after an AI alert remain unreported. What Gurman’s reporting does make clear is that Apple now sees home security as both a hardware line and a services opportunity — and that the company is targeting 2027 to bring them to market together.

WhatsApp permitirá customizar a barra padrão de reações com emojis

14 August 2026 at 13:11

O WhatsApp está desenvolvendo uma opção para customizar a barra padrão de reações com emojis, permitindo que os usuários substituam qualquer uma das seis opções predefinidas pelo emoji de sua preferência. No entanto, esse recurso deverá fazer parte de um novo conjunto de funcionalidades para assinantes do WhatsApp Plus, conforme informações do WABetaInfo.

Os usuários poderão substituir qualquer emoji por outro do teclado e fazer quantas alterações quiserem — bem como restaurar a barra de reações padrão a qualquer momento. A imagem abaixo mostra uma tela de “reações padrão” com o conjunto predefinido de emojis, à esquerda, e uma versão personalizada, à direita.

Atualmente, o conjunto padrão inclui os seguintes emojis: polegar para cima (👍), coração vermelho (❤️), rosto chorando de rir (😂), rosto surpreso (😮), rosto chorando (😢) e mãos juntas (🙏). Esses emojis são os mesmos para todos os usuários, independentemente de suas preferências; para reagir a uma mensagem com um emoji diferente, é preciso tocar no botão “+”, de modo a abrir o teclado completo de emojis.

A opção para customizar a barra padrão de reações com emojis está em desenvolvimento para iOS e ainda não foi liberada nem mesmo para os testadores da versão beta.

I watched the behind-the-scenes documentary Disney Worldbuilders and it's inspiring — but I wish they had turned it into a Disney+ series instead

After falling in love with Disneyland Handcrafted, I was excited to dive into the studio's latest documentary movie, Disney Worldbuilders. Directed by Leslie Iwerks, the new movie has a tiny runtime of 58 minutes and call me greedy, but I really wanted more.

Disney Worldbuilders gets up-close-and-personal with some of Disney's most influential voices, where we learn about creative processes and their lasting impact on both cinema and the Disney Parks around the world.

Even though I loved what I saw, I did feel as though Worldbuilders tries to squeeze too much into its runtime. Unlike Handcrafted, which solely focuses on Walt's vision for Disneyland in Anaheim, this jumps around between subjects, and I wish we'd had an episode for each person interviewed so we could've taken a deeper dive.

The stacked line-up is made up of Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, Pete Docter, Dave Filoni, Jared Bush, and Josh D’Amaro. That's a lot of people to talk to in under an hour, so I really wish we'd had more time with all of them!

Bob Iger in particular deserves a documentary of his own, and I hope we get one so we can properly examine the huge impact he's had on the Walt Disney Company, because it's not to be sniffed at. His segments didn't seem to fit with the rest of the interviews.

Still, that doesn't mean Worldbuilders is not worth your time. Far from it, in fact; I think it gives some really valuable and inspiring insights from some of the biggest names across Disney properties like Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel, and it's hard not to smile when you're greeted with this footage.

Disney Worldbuilders first look

The scale of the Disney Parks really is fascinating, and I liked how we were able to see the early days of areas such as Hollywood Studios' Galaxy's Edge and Animal Kingdom’s Pandora, especially how the directors of those movies responded to seeing their creations come to life. Now, fans get to walk through the worlds we see on screen, and the constant innovation going on across the global parks is jaw-dropping.

I found myself getting emotional during certain parts, particularly Jennifer Lee's reaction to World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris. Seeing her wandering around with Olaf and reflecting on her relationship with her sister is incredibly touching, given how Anna and Elsa are such inspirational figures to a lot of people out there.

Even though the interviews with each subject are short, we do get a lot of heartfelt anecdotes which I found to be very interesting. As someone who has been enamored with filmmaking from a young age, it's inspiring to see how these amazing creatives can help shape future attractions for all ages. In Worldbuilders, they reflect on their own childhoods and how they ended up working for one of the biggest media companies in the world.

Ultimately, this would have worked so much better in an episodic format because I could have happily watched eight hours of this, as opposed to the one hour we did get. I am hopeful that Disney will do more long-form Parks-focused documentaries like this, especially ones that talk to the creatives responsible for writing these worlds we know and love.

Disney Worldbuilders comes to Disney+ on August 20. While you wait, why not check out the best Disney+ movies and best Disney+ TV shows to stream right now.

After jacking up prices, Disney+ and Netflix consider offering free alternatives

5 August 2026 at 18:12

Disney is “exploring a free product” for streaming customers, CEO Josh D’Amaro confirmed in a call with investors today.

D’Amaro, who succeeded Bob Iger as Disney’s chief in March, said that a free Disney-owned streaming service would help Disney reach more “price-sensitive” customers, which is a “strategic priority” for Disney, according to a transcript of the call.

A free streaming service would also generate more ad revenue, which has become increasingly important for streaming services challenged by plateauing subscriber numbers, subscriber churn, and competition from cheaper and free rivals.

Apple eyes health and fitness features for rumored smart glasses, job listing suggests

Apple is laying groundwork to turn its long-rumored smart glasses into a health and fitness platform, according to a recent job listing highlighted by Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman.

In his Power On newsletter, Gurman pointed to an opening in Apple’s Vision Products Group for a “strategic product design leader.” The role is tasked with helping “define the future of health, well-being and fitness experiences across vision products.” The successful candidate would “translate ambiguous opportunities at the intersection of spatial computing, wearables, consumer health, and human behavior into clear first-party product direction.”

The posting, which lists locations in Los Angeles and San Jose, also emphasizes experience with “sensor-driven experiences,” digital health or fitness products, personalization, and multimodal interfaces. Cult of Mac noted that the Los Angeles option may reflect proximity to Apple Fitness+ studios in Santa Monica.

This builds on earlier ambitions for the Vision Pro. Gurman reported that Apple had explored an Apple Fitness+ experience on the headset that would let users follow workout classes while body-tracking cameras analyzed form. Those plans were shelved due to technical challenges and the device’s weight, which made it impractical for exercise.

Smart glasses, expected to be a lighter, more everyday alternative similar in concept to Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses, offer a better form factor for such features over time. Sensors, cameras, and accelerometers could eventually support workout tracking, form analysis (for activities like weightlifting or yoga), and other biometric insights.

Gurman and other reports indicate these advanced health capabilities are unlikely to debut with the first-generation glasses, currently anticipated around late 2027 (with a possible earlier reveal). Instead, Apple is expected to follow its pattern with the Apple Watch and AirPods: launch the core hardware platform first, then expand health and fitness features across subsequent generations.

The job listing provides one of the clearest public signals yet of Apple’s longer-term vision for its eyewear and other vision products as potential companions to the Watch and AirPods in the company’s health ecosystem. As always with Apple rumors, timelines and final features remain subject to change.

MacDailyNews Take: We feel like we’ve been waiting for Apple’s AR smart glasses for forever!

The Apple Glasses will be the key as holding up slabs of glass as “windows” is suboptimal. When we’re running in a race, for example, we don’t want to have to hold an iPhone or even glance at an Apple Watch, but with a pair of Apple Glasses constantly overlaying time, pace, splits, etc. it’ll be ideal! — MacDailyNews, September 6, 2019
