Valve making a Big comeback to PC this week. The company, best known for its PC gaming platform Steam, has announced a new home console called Steam machine In addition to the new version of Steam controllerAnd a new virtual reality headset called… Steam frame.
Steam Machine is a revival of Valve’s original Steam machinea failed attempt to bring PC gaming into the living room Almost exactly 10 years ago. And now she’s back, building on her success Steam surface Portable. Valve claims the new Steam Machine is six times more powerful than the Steam Deck, and is a bit like a compact PC. We don’t have exact measurements yet, but some early hands-on impressions describe it as similar in size to a Nintendo GameCube. The Steam Machine uses AMD’s custom Zen 4 CPU, and will be sold in several memory and storage configurations, which can be upgraded by the user. New Steam controller Meant to be paired with a Steam Machine, it has two trackpads for haptic feedback and the typical assortment of joysticks, buttons, triggers, and bumpers.
Finally, there it is Steam frame. The long-awaited VR headset is the follow-up to LED indicatorwho is over six years old. Valve calls the Steam Frame a “streaming-first” VR headset, and it’s meant to be connected to a PC for lag-free wireless gaming. To overcome the latency issue, Steam Frame will come with a dedicated wireless module to connect to your computer to ensure all visual data is transferred as smoothly as possible.
The Steam Frame can also be used as a standalone headset, running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, meaning you’ll be playing x86 games on ARM in SteamOS. It’s a tough endeavor, but based on Steam Deck’s success in juggling the required emulation layers, I have faith that Valve will do it in a way Microsoft has always struggled with. As for the earphone itself, it weighs only 440 grams, which is much lighter than the two earphones Meta Quest 3S Recently announced Samsung Galaxy XR. It has two pancake lenses with two LCD displays with a resolution of 2160 x 2160 pixels for each eye.
There’s a lot to learn about these devices, and no specific release date or price has been set for any of the new devices yet, as is usual with Valve. All we know is that these devices will start shipping in early 2026.Luke Larsen

You’ve probably seen or heard about iPhone pocket. It’s inspired by the “Piece of Cloth”, a small shoulder bag designed to hold your iPhone, and is the result of a collaboration between Apple and Japanese design label Issey Miyake. The two companies have a long history, with Steve Jobs wearing black Issey Miyake jackets on stage during every major launch event.
The fabric is a unique 3D knitted structure made in Japan and will be able to fit any iPhone model. This is not the first time that Apple has proposed placing one of its products in a piece of cloth. In 2004, Apple debuted iPod Socks, a simple and fun way to keep your iPod screen protected while traveling. It cost $29 at the time (about $50 today).
Unfortunately, you’ll pay a lot more for the iPhone Pocket. The bag comes in a short version for $150 and a long version for $230. Both are available in a range of colors, but since this is a special edition, you’ll only be able to purchase them at select Apple Store locations. and Apple.com In France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. (It’s already sold out online.)
Your digital ID is coming to Apple Wallet
You already have your boarding pass on your iPhone, so why not your passport too? This is the idea behind the new Apple Digital identitya new way to add information from your US passport to Apple Wallet. Acceptance is being rolled out in a pilot at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports across the US for domestic travel, though Apple says this will expand in the future.
You will be able to provide this type of identification even if you do not have a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or state ID. (You can already add your file Driver’s license to Apple Wallet(But this is only available in select states.) However, it’s important to remember that a digital Apple ID does not replace a passport, which is still required for international travel.

Samsung Announce A new line of “portable” monitors designed to travel with you around your home or office. the Moving style (LSM7F) and MovingStyle M7 Smart Monitor (M70F) They’re standard 27- or 32-inch monitors, with one big touch: they come with a folding floor stand with hidden wheels. Instead of having separate large screens in each room, the idea behind these Movingstyle Screens is to have a screen on the go, similar to LG StanbyMe range. It’s not hard to imagine scenarios where this could be appropriate. Maybe you’re following a recipe in the kitchen or want to end a show you’re watching on TV in the bedroom. Samsung claims that the wheels are quiet and stable on hard floors and carpets.
