Microsoft is just leaving some Liquid Glass here.
Who did the glass-like design first? Was it Apple with its Aqua transparency effects in 2000, or Microsoft with its Aero Glass theme in Windows Vista in 2007? Either way, Microsoft seems to think Apple’s Liquid Glass design bears some resemblance to its glass look in Windows Media Center, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Whatever you think, just don’t call it that.
First, The Browser Company tried to overhaul the web browser. Now it aims to change the way we think about computers.

The Android phone that works with Apple.
Vivo claims its X Fold 5 has achieved an Android first: interoperability with the Apple Watch. According to product manager Han Boxiao the watch can display calls and texts from the X Fold 5, and sync health data. The phone can also receive calls and texts sent to an iPhone, access iCloud, and extend the display of a Mac.
How? We have no idea, but hopefully we’ll find out when the phone launches this month.

Apple has released a haptic F1 trailer enhanced with iPhone vibrations.
If you’ve got an iPhone running iOS 18.4 or later, the Apple TV Plus tab of the TV app now features a trailer for the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie that’s now enhanced with vibrations created by the modern iPhone’s Taptic Engine.
You can not only feel an F1 car’s engine revving, but subtler events in the trailer like the click of a seatbelt being fastened, and buttons being pressed on a steering wheel.

Siri was mostly missing in Apple’s AI updates this week.
The Verge’s new senior AI reporter, Hayden Field, noticed we didn’t hear the name of Apple’s assistant very much during the WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday.
Even as presenters discussed opening up Apple Intelligence to third-party developers and new AI features for other apps, Siri was conspicuous in its absence. So what does that mean for the future of Apple’s AI efforts?

Lexon turned Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog sculptures into functional art.
The collaboration between Koons and Lexon Design sees the artist’s most iconic creation turned into a wireless speaker with touch controls delivering 360-degree sound and a lamp that uses tubes filled with color-changing LEDs to recreate the appearance of neon lighting.
Pricing isn’t known, but both will only be available in limited quantities later this month and hopefully be much cheaper than the 10-foot Balloon Dog sculpture Koons sold in 2013 for $58 million.

Apple adding digital car key support for more automakers.
According to 9 to 5 Mac, the company said during WWDC that it would soon support digital car keys from 13 additional vehicle brands, including Audi, Cadillac, Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, GMC, Volvo, Rivian, and others. That brings the total number of brands supported to 33. The keys are added to the Wallet app, and can be used to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle using technology like NFC, UWB, or BLE — depending on which are supported by the vehicle.
