🎧 One of my favorite little changes in iOS 27 Beta 3 is the new UI for Adaptive Audio on AirPods Pro.

Instead of just a simple toggle, Adaptive Listening is now a customizable scale, letting you fine tune exactly how much outside noise you want to let in. 🎚️✨

It’s a small change, but the new interface feels much more intuitive and gives you a lot more control over the experience.

Definitely a quality of life improvement. 👏🍎

Monsieur le Ministre,
Compte tenu de ces propos intolérables, cette sénatrice paraguayenne ne doit plus jamais être autorisée à fouler le sol français.
Vous vous devez - avec votre collègue de l’Interieur - de lui interdire définitivement l’accès et le séjour sur le territoire national.

[Jean-Noël Barrot @jnbarrot]

Le racisme est une tumeur de l’âme humaine, la bêtise transformée en haine.

Je prends acte de la dénonciation par les autorités paraguayennes des propos racistes d’une sénatrice à l’encontre de Kylian Mbappé.

Total soutien à notre capitaine et à notre équipe. Ils portent haut nos couleurs, celles de la France.

Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.

Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

[FFF @FFF]

COMMUNIQUÉ DE LA FFF :

Les propos racistes de la Sénatrice paraguayenne Celeste Amarilla visant Kylian Mbappé sont totalement abjects et inacceptables. Comment peut-on tenir un tel discours ? Ces propos sont délictueux et condamnables. Ils doivent être poursuivis ici comme ailleurs. La FFF procède à un signalement au parquet à des fins de poursuite judiciaire.

La Fédération apporte son entier soutien à son capitaine, ses joueurs et plus généralement à toutes les victimes de tels propos odieux. Plus que jamais la FFF entend lutter contre le racisme et toute forme de discriminations. Ces propos déshonorent ceux qui les tiennent et ceux qui les diffusent. Les joueurs de l’Équipe de France représentent la France, c’est notre pays qui est insulté.

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX:

Team,

We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management. I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day, and I wanted to be direct about the scale.

I know this is painful. These changes will directly affect people who have poured their creativity into building XBOX. Many joined us through acquisitions, while others were recruited here, or sought us out because they loved this industry and loved XBOX. Today's decisions do not reflect their talent or dedication.

Our business today is not healthy. We are operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses. We entered Gen 9 with a smaller install base and a higher cost structure. To grow, we bet on Game Pass, multi-platform, and a broader portfolio of content. While those businesses have created meaningful value, they did not grow at the pace we expected. As that happened, our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome. And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history. We must reset XBOX.

First, we will reset our content portfolio.

Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision.

Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options.

We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. None of our first party publicly announced games or projects are being cancelled as part of these reductions.

In addition, Mojang and King will now report directly to me. These two studios have increasingly become platforms and are our largest by monthly active players. They bring critical geographic, demographic, and differentiation to XBOX.

Second, we will reset our platform.

We know that great technology gets better when it gets simpler, not bigger. Today, in some parts of the company, work passes through as many as 14 layers of management. Our platform teams are 40% larger than they were at the start of this generation, even as our player base and playtime have declined. That complexity has slowed decisions, blurred accountability, and made it harder to deliver for players. As we reset XBOX, we will simplify.

We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes. And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend.

Third, we are resetting how we operate.

As XBOX grew our headcount, we became more fragmented. Teams, studios, and functions often operate independently, and it became harder to work towards a shared goal, make the right tradeoffs, and get things done.

For the first time, we are establishing a Chief Operating Officer with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services. Helen Chiang has been promoted to this role and will report directly to me. Over nearly two decades at XBOX, Helen has helped build some of our most important businesses, from XBOX Live to leading Mojang and the Minecraft franchise. She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results.

Thank you, Dave McCarthy, who is retiring after 17 years with XBOX. Dave has played a defining role in building the platform that millions of players rely on every day and has been a trusted partner through many of the biggest moments in XBOX's history. We wish him all the best.

These changes are about a bigger future for XBOX, not a smaller one. The next decade of gaming will be larger, more global, and more creative than anything we've seen before. This year, we'll invest as much in XBOX as we ever have, but we'll invest with greater focus, greater discipline, and greater clarity, all in service of making XBOX where the world plays and creates.

I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect. I know we can achieve this goal. XBOX has many of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history, talented studios around the world, and we will return to growth in 2027.

History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them.

Asha

XBOX is set to lay off 3,200 employees, 20% of its workforce, as part of a company reset.

In addition, XBOX is spinning off and/or selling 5 of its first party studios: Arkane Lyon, Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and Undead Labs.

According to Kuo, Apple’s foldable “iPhone Ultra” could follow the iPhone X launch strategy

> Announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup
> Pre-orders may slip to late October
> Sales could begin in early November due to limited supply
> Apple reportedly expects only 7–8M foldable shipments in 2H26, with just 500K–1M units ready in Q3
> Estimated price: $2,300 – $2,500

Initial demand is expected to outpace supply

The iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a 5567mAh battery, which is already an impressive number by itself.

If we also take into account the expected efficiency improvement of the A20 Pro, the sustained performance gains from the new thermal design, and iOS’s excellent system scheduling and background management, the overall battery life of the iPhone 18 Pro Max can reasonably be estimated to be on the level of a 7000mAh Android flagship.

The iPhone 18 Pro series battery capacities have been certified.

iPhone 18 Pro
🇨🇳 China version: 4056mAh
🇺🇸 US version: 4288mAh

iPhone 18 Pro Max
🇨🇳 China version: 5391mAh
🇺🇸 US version: 5567mAh

For comparison:

iPhone 17 Pro
🇨🇳 China version: 3988mAh
🇺🇸 US version: 4252mAh

iPhone 17 Pro Max
🇨🇳 China version: 4823mAh
🇺🇸 US version: 5088mAh

The biggest improvement comes from the iPhone 18 Pro Max, with a significant battery capacity increase.
