Comprar um novo iPhone é sempre uma experiência especial — principalmente quando estamos falando dos recém-lançados iPhones 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max e do novíssimo iPhone Duo! Mas, junto com a empolgação de conhecer os novos recursos, surge também uma preocupação inevitável: como proteger um aparelho tão valioso sem esconder seu design ou comprometer a experiência de uso?

Pensando nisso, os nossos parceiros da Shokan Premium apresentam sua nova linha de capas desenvolvida especialmente para os novos modelos profissionais da Apple.

Mais do que um acessório, a capa representa a primeira linha de defesa do iPhone contra quedas, impactos, riscos e pequenos acidentes do dia a dia. Afinal, basta um único descuido para transformar a empolgação com o aparelho novo em uma grande dor de cabeça.

Proteção premium por todos os lados

As novas capas Shokan Premium foram desenvolvidas para proporcionar proteção, conforto e um acabamento à altura dos iPhones 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max e do novíssimo iPhone Duo, garantindo uma experiência realmente premium.

Com encaixe preciso, construção resistente e design cuidadosamente elaborado, elas ajudam a proteger as laterais, a traseira, os botões e o conjunto de câmeras, preservando a aparência premium do iPhone sem deixá-lo pesado ou exageradamente volumoso.

É proteção para a rotina real: dentro da bolsa, sobre a mesa, durante o trabalho, em viagens ou naquele momento inesperado em que o iPhone escapa das mãos.

Capa, película e garantia de tela original

Para uma proteção ainda mais completa, a Shokan oferece uma condição especial que combina a capa premium com a película de proteção avançada da marca.

Além de ajudar a proteger a tela contra riscos, arranhões e impactos, a película Shokan conta com um grande diferencial: a sua garantia exclusiva de tela.

Depois da compra e da ativação da garantia, caso ocorra um dano acidental coberto pelo programa, a tela do iPhone poderá ser substituída por outra original em um Centro de Serviço Autorizado Apple, conforme os termos e condições da garantia Shokan.

Enquanto a capa protege as laterais, a traseira e o conjunto de câmeras, a película cuida justamente da parte mais sensível e utilizada do aparelho.

É uma combinação pensada para quem deseja aproveitar o novo iPhone com muito mais segurança e tranquilidade desde o primeiro dia.

Você já comprou algum case nos Estados Unidos? E película?

A Shokan Premium é uma marca brasileira com produtos desenvolvidos nos Estados Unidos, então se você conhece as cases premium de verdade (como Incipio, OtterBox, Tech21, Speck, Balkin, Griffin e Prodigee), precisa conhecer a Shokan Premium. É uma marca pensada para quem realmente sabe o que quer em termos de qualidade e proteção — produtos com acabamento completamente diferente do que encontramos aqui no Brasil.

A proposta da marca é trazer produtos de qualidade superior com uma relação ótima de custo-benefício. Se compararmos, por exemplo, o preço de um case premium em uma Apple Store ou na Best Buy (que vai de US$69 a US$199), vale muito mais a pena comprar a proteção completa da Shokan e receber em casa.

Ah, e se você estiver nos EUA, a Shokan também entrega em todo o território pelos mesmos preços daqui.

Além da nova linha de proteção, a Shokan também oferece uma alternativa versátil para quem deseja ampliar as possibilidades de uso dos seus dispositivos Apple.

A Shokan Pencil é uma caneta capacitiva ativa e passiva, com bateria interna recarregável, ponta de alta precisão e excelente desempenho para atividades domésticas e profissionais.

Ela pode ser utilizada para fazer anotações, desenhar, assinar documentos, editar imagens, navegar por aplicativos e executar tarefas que exigem mais controle e precisão do que o toque dos dedos.

• Ponta de alta precisão;
• Formato confortável e ergonômico;
• Ampla compatibilidade com dispositivos Apple elegíveis;

A Apple acaba de liberar para testadores dos seus sistemas as versões Release Candidate do iOS 27.2 (compilação 24B115), iPadOS 27.2 (idem), macOS Golden Gate 27.2 (26B118), watchOS 27.2 (24S116), tvOS 27.2 (24K120) e visionOS 27.2 (24N118).

Estão disponíveis também as RCs do iOS 26.7.2 (compilação 23H127), iPadOS 26.7.2 (idem), macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 (24H230) e macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 (25G330), bem como a do Xcode 27.2 (27B48).

Como sempre, essas são as versões candidatas a serem lançadas para o público final, mas pode ser que mais versões sejam disponibilizadas até lá — caso a Apple encontre algum problema de última hora que precise ser resolvido.

A expectativa agora é de que as versões finais dos sistemas 27.2 sejam lançadas para todos os usuários já na próxima semana.

Meta and Apple have teamed up for the launch of the social media giant's newest model, Muse Spark Open, which will run locally on Apple silicon.

What you need to know

• Threads is reportedly starting a test in the U.S. called "Gems."
• These are badges that the platform's algorithm will reportedly hand out to posts and replies that spur conversation with original thoughts, perspective, and more.
• Earlier this year, Threads rolled out "Dear Algo," which puts users in the driver's seat of their algorithm for content they want to see more of.

Meta is starting a new test in the U.S. on Threads to spotlight posts and comments from users that get the conversation going.

Meta published an "About Gems on Threads" document this week, highlighting the test (via Android Headlines). The company states a "Threads Gem" will appear on "public posts and replies that started or continued these (standout) conversations." An automated system within the Threads app is responsible for dishing out these purple badges.

Gems are given based on the level of conversation, "not on how many followers a profile has." The company clarifies that Gems are decided based on a few factors, such as "Perspective." If a conversation or comment brings a fresh take (or a hot take), that could be the catalyst for a Gem badge. Originality is another key player in deciding these new badges.

Threads will also factor in the level of discussion, which seems like the bar for something like this. It states that if the post or reply facilitates "real back-and-forth dialogue" that progresses the thread, that might warrant a Gem.

Everything isn't fair game for Gems on Threads. The document says content is only eligible if you've posted on Threads and you're directly replying to the original post (if you're replying to a reply, that won't count). If you're given a Gem badge, it'll appear publicly for everyone to see, and you'll receive a notification about it.

You're a Gem

Android Central's Take

This reminds me of a forum—the Gem badges. If you frequent Reddit, you'll see badges there, too. They're called Awards over there, and they're given by the people. Threads kind of took that same concept, but handed the keys over to its software. I don't think it's a bad idea ... the Gems, not the algorithm part. It brings more of a sense of community. An online community that's interacting and talking through things.

Threads has had a couple of updates worthy of discussion. If we're talking about discussions on the internet (oh boy), you can't leave out the hottest of hot takes. Threads rolled out "ghost posts," otherwise known as disappearing posts. Users can set a ghost post to disappear in 24 hours. Threads says it rolled out ghost posts for "fresh takes/thoughts." Users can post their hot takes and more without "the pressure of permanence or polish."

However, since these are active for a time on the platform, others can reply. If this happens, all replies are sent to your DMs.

Threads had another update earlier this year called "Dear Algo." This is a system that puts users in the driver's seat of the algorithm. You can control what you see on Threads for up to three days via a "request." Users can share their algorithm requests with others to share the vibes.

Lors de sa Keynote du 23 septembre, Meta a gardé une petite surprise pour la fin. Un objet discret, pensé pour donner accès à son nouvel assistant IA sans passer par un smartphone, et qui rappelle un certain appareil qui n’a pas laissé un souvenir impérissable.

Meta vient d’annoncer ses nouvelles lunettes de réalité mixte qui sortiront l’année prochaine. Malgré un format beaucoup plus compact et léger, elles ont toutefois un défaut qui pourrait freiner de nombreux utilisateurs.

Meta a du mal à faire décoller ses IA, alors la firme a pensé autrement avec sa nouvelle application Muse. Plutôt que de proposer un chatbot, le groupe de Mark Zuckerberg mise sur une autre bataille : celle des agents capables d’agir à la place de l’utilisateur. Et les premiers chiffres montrent...

After only a few months on the market, Meta’s new AI-integrated smart glasses are already being exploited for nefarious purposes.

Dubbed “pervert glasses” for their incognito ability to film anybody in public, the new specs have enabled voyeurs and content creeps the world over, leading to widespread harassment, bullying, and privacy violations.

And now the pervert glasses are also feeding another grim genre of content: joybait.

You may have heard of ragebait, which is online content deliberately designed to piss people off, therefore driving clicks and views. Joybait is ragebait’s seemingly innocent twin: content designed to stir up those warm fuzzies and make you smile.

A now-viral clip uploaded by public prank content creator Levese shows that a user of Meta’s AI glasses shows how the scheme unfolds. The video, first spotted by journalist James Vincent, shows Levese catch a glimpse of the author Travis Schick as he shops with his partner in a Walmart.

Crucially, Levese doesn’t approach Schick right away, but rather uses his phone to snap a photo of Schick’s face, which he then searches using a facial recognition site. After the service uncovers Schick’s social media accounts — revealing the random man as an aspiring novelist — Levese makes his approach, recording with his Meta glasses as he catches the unassuming writer off guard.

“Wait, Travis?” Levese asks as Schick tries to check out. “You wrote the book ‘The Readhead?'”

“Yeah?” the confused writer confirms.

“No way I love that book man! Yo I love that book bro,” Levese replies disingenuously. “It was a really good novel.”

“Yeah that was me,” Schick says, trying to contain a smile.

Let’s Make His Book #1 . . . . | #author #caught #digitalfootprint #fyp |

As positive as the interaction seems on its surface, it’s all based on a false premise constructed through use of facial recognition software, without which Levese never would have known who Travis Schick actually was. Of course, Schick himself is ancillary to the entire scheme, which was really about making some content — joybait — for Levese to post to his 225,000 TikTok followers.

And as content, the stunt was wildly successful. The reel has over 60 million views and 30,000 comments on Levese’s TikTok page alone, and has become easy fodder for content farms on every social media feed you can think of.

On uncovering the clip, the journalist James Vincent remarked that it embodies “individualized surveillance culture posing as feelgood content.”

Falling for the original premise of the bait, some excused the privacy violation, arguing the exposure is boosting Schick’s work.

Sure enough, comments under Schick’s novel “The Redhead” on the creative platform Quotev are flooding in by the hundreds, full of well wishers and supporters who otherwise never would have found his work. Schick’s TikTok page has likewise exploded, going from around 150 followers to well over 12,700 in just a few short days.

But Schick’s viral moment is beside the point, as Vincent observes: “there may be positive outcomes from this one video (which stem from its novelty as short form content) — but the larger effect is creating a society where we monetize kindness, exploit the goodwill of strangers, and destroy the right to privacy in public,” he wrote in a comment on X-formerly-Twitter.

And the aspiring novelist is far from alone. Levese has dozens of videos following the exact same format, each with millions of views. For his part, the content creator is well aware that he’s crossing a line. The first one, in which the content creator stalks a man buying bananas, prominently features pinned text reading “day 1: stealing people’s digital footprint.”

“This app is dangrous [sic],” Levese wrote in the video caption.

The post Influencers Are Using Meta’s AI-Glasses to Film Manipulative Feel-Good Slop of People in Public appeared first on Futurism.

In record time, Meta’s camera-adorned smart glasses have turned from a lucrative and well-reviewed consumer product into a widely-reviled and privacy-infringing tool of abuse in the arsenal of creepy men.

The backlash has grown so much that many owners of the “pervert glasses” have become too afraid to use them in public, a PR disaster for what once was an accessory that was flying off the shelves.

Meta is evidently alarmed by the growing criticism, desperately trying to implement a “kill switch” and remotely cutting off “manfluencers” by bricking their glasses.

And now, as The Information reports, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company is now looking to release a camera-free pair as well later this year — the clearest indication yet that Meta is losing in the court of public opinion.

Whether removing the camera from the glasses will be enough to assuage ongoing concerns over privacy remains to be seen. The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping.

The news comes just days after two families filed a proposed class action lawsuit, alleging Meta was extracting biometric information from people’s Instagram and Facebook photos to build a face-recognition system for its smart glasses.

The glasses could be the ultimate litmus test on what drew buyers to the pair of spectacles in the first place. By relying on microphones alone, Meta is betting that people are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars just to talk to its flawed AI companions — not take first-person view photos.

Project Luna could be unveiled as soon as next week’s Meta Connect conference. It’ll be interesting to see how the company will address the major backlash to its camera-equipped smart glasses, if at all. An admission that its consumer product is facilitating some incredibly creepy behavior in public feels unlikely — but it’ll certainly be the elephant in the room.

Meta Platforms added fresh podcast tools to its Threads social media service to simplify promotion and boost listener retention.

The features include profile banners and posts to help listeners find shows.

Podcasters can also feature their favourite episode and highlight links to others.

Transcription, video and guest detail tools are also being added, along with the ability to save posts to access later.

An opt-in reminder prompts producers to alert listeners when a new episode is published.

Podcast Insights offers metrics on audience reach and engagement including the number of clicks, saves and views dissected into followers, non-followers and overall audience.

Meta Platforms recently revealed Threads had reached 500 million monthly active users.

Meta is making the platform even better for podcast promotion.

O WhatsApp está avaliando (na versão beta 26.37.10.15) a implementação do suporte ao acesso de até três contas simultâneas no mesmo dispositivo.

A opção de adicionar uma terceira conta é bem semelhante ao que já foi implementado pela Meta ao adicionar o suporte a uma segunda conta no mensageiro, exibindo a foto de perfil e o número de telefone para facilitar a identificação na hora de alternar entre os perfis.

Sincronização do papel de parede

Outro recurso que a Meta avalia implementar (na versão beta 26.37.10.16) é a possibilidade de sincronizar para todos os participantes da conversa determinadas informações, como o papel de parede (ou os temas oferecidos pelo próprio WhatsApp) importado a partir da biblioteca de fotos do aparelho, além da cor dos balões de conversa.

A definição dessa configuração para todos os participantes da conversa permite que todos os usuários visualizem as interações de um jeito semelhante, tanto para conversas individuais do WhatsApp quanto para conversas em grupo (os usuários são alertados caso qualquer alteração nesse sentido seja feita).

A sincronização desses elementos também conta com a criptografia de ponta a ponta oferecida em outros recursos do aplicativo.

---

No momento, ambos os recursos estão sendo testados pelo WhatsApp e estão indisponíveis inclusive para quem utiliza a versão beta do app via TestFlight.

Over the past few days, a lot of people who stand to make a lot of money from AI all publicly agreed that it's time to make everyone slow down before we lose control - including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and X CEO Elon Musk.

When people who profit from something declare that it's dangerous and needs to be regulated, there's always reason to be skeptical. But whatever their reason, this is far from the first time AI thought leaders have sounded the alarm.

Meta may be ready to reveal a new pair of smart glasses with no camera at all, amid a PR crisis for the company caused by the video recording capabilities of its flagship smart glasses. A new report from The Information claims the camera-free glasses, codenamed Luna, could be revealed as soon as the Meta Connect event next week.

Instead of a camera, the Luna glasses will reportedly include six microphones that allow users to chat to Meta AI and the new Muse AI agent, along with speakers for audio playback.

What you need to know

• Meta One subscription plans were announced for individual, AI power users, creators, and businesses.
• Each plan is tailored for what that specific user might need, such as an enhanced profile for creators/businesses, highlighting their website, locations, and more.
• Meta One subscriptions plans are available today (Sept. 15), beginning at $14.99 for creators/businesses and $7.99 for the Core plan (individual users).

We knew it was coming ever since Meta's original announcement back in May. Today (Sept. 15), Meta's latest subscription plans for its slew of apps are here.

In the company's press release, it states the Meta One subscription plans intend to "bring more value to the apps and experiences billions of people already use..." Meta One features plans intended for individuals, AI power users, creators, and businesses. The level of "expression" will depend on which subscription plan works best for you.

Meta builds on past announcements with the Core and Premium plans. It states these plans will bring more "compute-intensive AI capabilities." The Core and Premium plans are focused on assisting users with more "creative freedom" while using its AI services. More media generation is possible with Meta AI through the Core and Premium plans, as well as the availability of in-app AI features, like Restyle (on Instagram).

Here's the breakdown of the Core and Premium plans for individual and AI power users:

• Core ($7.99/mo): Restyle more Stories on Instagram, use voice effects and creative tools more often, and generate more images and videos with Meta AI. Plus, express yourself in more ways with our individual app features (Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus, Facebook Plus)
• Premium ($19.99/mo): Everything in Core, with the most room to create content with Meta AI and across our family of apps

Users starting their small businesses, or even creators looking to grow, might opt for one of Meta One's other four plans.

The company says its creator and business plans place the tools users will need to grow and expand their reach directly in-app. These features include professional tools and AI that's integrated with your account. Meta says this removes the necessity of creating an entirely new account to manage your business.

These plans will also provide users with an "enhanced profile." This profile will place everything important to your business or creator scope front and center. Your website and location (business locations) were mentioned. However, Meta One will send follow invitations to people who interact with your content and feature a "bold follow button" on your Reels.

Meta One's subscription plans for businesses and creators begin at $14.99 a month. While you'll receive a verified badge, a verified business channel on WhatsApp, and impersonation protection, Meta One adds access to the Meta Business Agent. This agent is available through WhatsApp and is available 24/7. You can check the remaining plans' details in the gallery above.

Meta's app subscriptions

Android Central's Take

This is certainly an interesting approach from Meta. I feel like these kinds of subscription plans only make sense for creators and businesses. If you're not doing something like that, is $4 worth it for a few animations? I'm sure we can express ourselves for free just fine. That's just me, though. It's your choice if you feel something like this is worth it.

We knew "Meta One" was coming since May. At that time, the company revealed a slew of app subscriptions for Facebook Plus, Instagram Plus, and WhatsApp Plus. Naomi Gleit, Meta's head of product, detailed everything we needed to know, stating that these plans would give users more ways to "express and connect." WhatsApp Plus is the cheapest option at $2.99. Facebook and Instagram users would have to cough up a dollar more at $3.99 for Plus additions.

For Instagram Plus, more vibrant and expressive animations were highlighted early on. These animations would play when liking someone's Story, such as "Super Heart." Subscribers could also "spotlight" a Story once a week to reach for extra views.

Meta One bundles expanded access to the company’s AI tools with premium features across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

A Meta está lançando um novo pacotão que combina suas assinaturas de aplicativos individuais com uso adicional de recursos de inteligência artificial. Chamado Meta One, esse pacote passou por testes no início deste ano, mas agora está disponível globalmente, com várias categorias para usuários individuais, criadores e empresas.

Há dois pacotes para usuários individuais: o Core, por R$32/mês (ou US$8/mês nos Estados Unidos), e o Premium, por R$97/mês (US$20/mês). Ambos incluem as assinaturas Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus e Facebook Plus, além de oferecerem um limite maior de geração de mídia com a Meta AI.

As assinaturas Meta One voltadas a criadores e empresas variam de R$60/mês (US$15/mês) a R$2.000/mês (US$500/mês). Elas também incluem as assinaturas individuais dos aplicativos da Meta, além de benefícios como um botão de seguir em destaque, selo de verificação, melhor posicionamento nos resultados de busca e monitoramento contra contas falsas que se passam por você.

Eis os planos:

• Essencial (R$60/mês ou US$15/mês): obtenha ferramentas para gerenciar sua presença e mais acesso ao Meta Business Agent no WhatsApp para responder a clientes 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana. Inclui também selo de verificação, canal verificado no aplicativo WhatsApp Business e proteção contra falsificação de identidade, para que as pessoas saibam que você é quem diz ser.
• Avançado (R$200/mês ou US$50/mês): recursos avançados de publicação, como agendamento de Stories com até 30 dias de antecedência, links em posts orgânicos e Reels, relatórios de análise exportáveis ​​e insights mais detalhados sobre o público. Permita que membros da equipe acessem sua conta sem compartilhar sua senha e obtenha mais dispositivos conectados e créditos para transmissões comerciais no WhatsApp. Inclui também um volume ainda maior de respostas do Meta Business Agent.
• Expert (R$600/mês ou US$150/mês) e Máximo (R$2.000/mês ou US$500/mês): oferecem os níveis mais altos de acesso a recursos e capacidade do Meta Business Agent para equipes que operam em grande escala.

A Meta afirma que a “experiência principal” em seus aplicativos e na Meta AI continuará gratuita, e os usuários ainda poderão adquirir as assinaturas para o Facebook, o Instagram e o WhatsApp separadamente, sem o pacote One.

A empresa também diz planejar aprimorar ainda mais as assinaturas com a inclusão de recursos de edição, óculos com IA e muito mais “ao longo do tempo”.
