Nintendo earlier this week revealed that Nintendo Switch 2 demand in Japan far exceeded the available supply for the first two planned preorder batches. The news dropped ahead of the US preorder process, with Nintendo telling Japanese gamers that it's doing everything it plans to ramp up production significantly. I warned the other day that the Nintendo Switch 2 demand in Japan is probably indicative of what will happen in other markets, including the US, where Switch 2 preorders were about to go live. American gamers got the chance to preorder the console much later than their international counterparts. Nintendo postponed the preorder start because of Trump's new tariffs that started dropping around the time the Switch 2 launch event happened. Thankfully, Nintendo kept the Switch 2 prices unchanged when it announced the April 24th preorder date. This gives us all the more reason to worry about supply and release date deliveries. Soon after midnight on April 24th, Nintendo Switch 2 preorders opened, not without issues and hitches. Unsurprisingly, the initial batch of Switch 2 stock is gone, and you'll probably have a tough time getting a console on release date. However, you have one more chance to preorder the new handheld. Unlike its rivals, GameStop didn't start Switch 2 preorders at midnight. Instead, sales will begin at 11:00 AM EST in just a few hours. Continue reading...

Imagine striking up a conversation in a bustling French café or navigating a street market in Mexico City without knowing a single word of the local language. Thanks to a new update from Meta AI, you can now use your Ray-Ban smart glasses as a live translator. The update does a lot to make the experience as seamless as possible, though there are still some hold-ups, of course. One of the biggest hold-ups is that to use the feature the easiest, you’ll either need the person you’re talking to to have a pair of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, or they’ll need to have the Meta app open to receive the translation. The live translator built into the new update for the smart glasses is currently only available in four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Italian. To start using it, you just have to ask Meta to start translating, and the AI will take over from there. You can download the languages ahead of time, too, so even if you go somewhere where you don’t have service, you can use the new feature. Despite the limitations, though, the convenience of having a live translator built directly into everyday eyewear can’t be overstated. Meta’s smart glasses aren’t stopping at language, either. The company is doing everything it can to make its AI-powered Ray-Bans as enticing as possible by expanding features across the board. These new features include music streaming options, access to Instagram messaging, and object recognition. Sure, the smart glasses live translator still has room to grow. But there’s no arguing against the fact that it will make communication easier by removing one of the barriers to traveling outside of countries where you know the language well enough to talk without any help or translator. A previous update also improved the vision capabilities and other functionality on the glasses.

visionOS 3 is Apple’s upcoming operating system for Apple Vision Pro. It’s expected to be announced during the WWDC 2025 keynote ahead of a public release in September 2025. Apple is believed to be preparing to expand Apple Intelligence features to its spatial computer while offering many other new features. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the upcoming visionOS 3 operating system update. When will Apple announce visionOS 3? Image source: Apple Inc. If Apple follows the trend, it should announce visionOS 3 during the WWDC 2025 keynote. The Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from June 9 to June 13. While it was previously held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in California, Apple turned WWDC into a pre-recorded keynote when the pandemic started. The company still invites the media and developers to watch WWDC from the Apple Park campus in Cupertino. As of now, Apple has already begun work on visionOS 3. Release date visionOS 3 is expected to be released in September 2025. Apple usually says the new system update will be available “in the fall.” However, the company has released major software updates in the second half of September for the past few years. Rumored visionOS 3 features Image source: Apple Inc. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, visionOS 3 will be a loaded update. After a boring visionOS 2 update, it seems Apple will put much effort into this upcoming release. However, the journalist didn't reveal which features it might add. Here's what he said: All signs are pointing to the company’s Vision Products Group shifting its resources to other form factors. But Apple can’t just let the Vision Pro die out. It has invested too much and needs to keep churning out the device’s visionOS updates (the third edition will be a pretty feature-packed release, I’m told).  More Apple Intelligence features With visionOS 2.4, Apple added the first batch of Apple Intelligence features to Apple Vision Pro. While it's unclear what the company is planning for this next cycle, Mark Gurman suggests a "Siri GPT" could be coming in the first half of 2026. According to the journalist, Apple’s new version of Siri will employ more advanced large language models (LLMs) to allow users to have long back-and-forth conversations with the virtual assistant. Sources also claim that “LLM Siri,” as Apple employees have dubbed it, will be capable of handling more sophisticated requests even faster. Apple Intelligence unveiled at WWDC 2024. Image source: Apple Inc. Apple is currently testing the upgraded Siri on iPhones, iPads, and Macs as a standalone app, but the goal is to eventually replace Siri with the new version.  As was the case with Apple Intelligence this fall, the new Siri reportedly won’t launch alongside the new hardware in 2025. Rather, Apple will announce it next year and start rolling out the upgraded Siri as early as spring 2026. “The revamped Siri will rely on new Apple AI models to interact more like a human and handle tasks in a way that’s closer to ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini,” Gurman explains in his report. “It will also make expanded use of App Intents, which allow for more precise control of third-party apps. And the software will be able to tap into features from Apple Intelligence, such as the ability to write and summarize text.” Official visionOS 3 download visionOS 3 hasn’t been officially announced. Therefore, you cannot test it or download its official version. How to download the visionOS beta? Image source: Jonathan S. Geller On June 21, 2023, Apple released the first beta of visionOS. On its developer page, the company offered the SDK of this platform alongside some tips on how to create apps for Vision Pro. As expected, visionOS relies on SwiftUI, RealityKit, ARKit, and Accessibility. Developers must use Xcode, Reality Composer Pro, and Unity to make the new apps come to life. With the visionOS 2 beta, Apple said it wouldn't offer a public beta to users. It's unclear if visionOS 3 might also lack a public beta. visionOS compatibility visionOS is compatible with the Apple Vision Pro.

As soon as ChatGPT became widely available, it stunned the world with its ability to answer questions in natural language almost immediately. It still does that today, and its performance has improved significantly as well. However, users quickly discovered that chatbots like ChatGPT do not always provide accurate information. They convincingly hallucinate. That's why I've been warning you about AI hallucinations since the early days of ChatGPT and routinely reminding you to ask for sources and check the facts the chatbot spews. ChatGPT and its rivals have come a long way since then. OpenAI and other AI firms will give you sources for the claims the AI makes, especially when an internet search is involved. Despite those upgrades, I still have custom instructions telling the AI to give me clear, working links for everything it says. I still correct the AI when it says something incorrect. Hallucinations will probably disappear in more advanced AI chatbots in the not-too-distant future. But it might take a while to get there. ChatGPT o3 and o4-mini are the best proof of that. They're ChatGPT's most advanced reasoning models, exceeding the performance of ChatGPT o1 in various fields. Strangely, however, ChatGPT o3 and o4-mini are hallucinating more than their predecessors, and that's something OpenAI admitted on its own. It's unclear what causes that behavior. Continue reading...

I love my MacBook Pro, and I’ve been buying these laptops for at least 15 years now. While I believe they’ve evolved well over time and the current iteration is hands down one of the best Apple has ever made, I still have two main concerns with the MacBook keyboard (and, in fact, all Apple keyboards). The first issue is that the keys are made of plastic. While the MacBook keyboard looks great, shiny, and new at first, the printed characters fade and the keys get smudged over time. Even if you’re diligent about cleaning them, the plastic will eventually wear off, especially on the most-used keys. Examples include the right side of the spacebar and the A, S, W, D, and E keys. The other issue with Apple’s laptops arises when buying them abroad, as they might not have the keyboard layout you prefer. While Apple allows you to order the correct version online, it could create problems for resale down the line, or even if you mistakenly buy a different keyboard style. Fortunately, a newly granted patent (via AppleInsider) could solve both of these problems. According to the patent, a future MacBook keyboard could be made of aluminum with swappable key labels. Instead of touchscreen keyboards, this design would still use a scissor-switch mechanism, but with aluminum keys instead of plastic. Personally, I consider this patent a potential game-changer, as the keys would likely maintain their appearance for much longer. Additionally, this patent suggests you could switch from an English-style keyboard to a French one, and the key labels would automatically update to reflect the change. Ultimately, Apple could create a MacBook that feels even more like “a single piece of aluminum” while also eliminating the need to ship different models to different countries, as one version could be compatible with all keyboard layouts. As of now, this is just a granted patent. However, much like the potential lens flare solution coming to iPhone Pro cameras, this could very well become a reality in the near future.
