According to Bloomberg, the next versions of Apple’s operating systems may be labeled by year, starting now. It makes sense. At this point, we’ve got VisionOS 2, watchOS 11, macOS 15, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. Instead, they might all be tagged 26 — even if they launch this year.
It’s not the first tech company to align new products with the year of release. Samsung started naming its phones by year of release in 2020 with the S20, which followed the S10. We’ll learn for sure in under two weeks: WWDC kicks off June 9.

PlayStation’s DualSense Edge wireless controller is cheaper than ever
Sony is discounting consoles, accessories, games and subscriptions.
One of the standout deals of this year’s Days of Play sale is the PS5 DualSense Edge controller. You can pick one up for $169, which is 15 percent off its usual price. The deal is available on Amazon and directly from Sony.
The Edge resembles a regular DualSense controller, but there’s a lot more to it. For instance, there are function buttons below each thumbstick and rear paddles, and you can choose between a set of levers or shorter half-domes.
If you haven’t jumped on the PS5 yet, the PS5 Pro also gets a $50 discount.
The new Opera browser can surf the web for you
It’s not Chrome, Safari or Edge, but if you’re willing to be different…
Opera has launched another… Opera browser. Neon is its first fully agentic browser. That means it’s baked in AI chat with users and can surf the web on their behalf.
It… clicks for you. It can even fill out forms and shop for you. If you’re feeling more ambitious, you can ask Neon to build websites, animations, even games, and it can continue chipping away at big projects while you’re offline.
Will that all be enough to swing you away from all your Chrome plugins or Safari passwords? According to recent figures, just over 2 percent of internet users use Opera. You can try it for yourself now. Oh wait, no, there’s a waitlist.
This gaming mouse has a tiny fan inside
For the pro gamers.
Pulsar’s latest competitive gaming mouse features a premium tiny fan from Noctua, the renowned fan brand. (Apparently, no one makes fans quite like the Austrians).
With a skeletal shell designed to enhance airflow, it’s for sweaty-palmed professional gamers. Like the original Feinmann mouse from Pulsar, it has a 32,00 DPI sensor and an ultra-fast 8,000 Hz polling rate. Due to the fan, it’s a little heavier than the original at 65 grams. And the price of dry palm calm? $180.
