Um dos emuladores de jogos mais populares, o Deltachegou à versão 2.0, com uma novidade animadora para usuários na União Europeia: ele agora está disponível globalmente na App Store — inclusive nos países do bloco, onde só era possível baixá-lo pela loja alternativa AltStore PAL.
Além dessa expansão, é claro, o Delta 2.0 conta com uma série de novos recursos e aprimoramentos, entre os quais uma interface completamente adaptada ao Liquid Glass, com elementos translúcidos e adaptações para diferentes tamanhos de tela.
Ainda falando no ecossistema da Apple, ele também ganhou suporte ao iPhone Duo. Além de skins de controles otimizadas para cada posição do aparelho, ele oferece uma experiência semelhante à do Nintendo DS, suporte à multitarefa com tela dividida e ao Apple Pencil.
Outra novidade bem bacana é a possibilidade de jogar títulos do Sega Genesis no emulador, que agora conta com novas skins que recriam o visual clássico do controle do console, bem como oferece suporte integrado a códigos de trapaça do Action Replay e do Game Genie.
Há, ainda, suporte à plataforma de conquistas RetroAchievements, skins animadas, personalização para filtros gráficos e para a velocidade dos jogos, integração com cartuchos físicos, melhorias na biblioteca e muitas novidades menores e incrementais.
O Googleatualizou o Gemini Notebook com uma novidade bem útil para quem gosta de mais personalização na hora de gerar conteúdos usando inteligência artificial — especialmente na criação de vídeos e apresentações.
Agora, em vez de apenas fornecer um prompt e esperar que a plataforma entregue o conteúdo já pronto a partir dele — o que ainda funciona, cabe destacar —, agora também dá para seguir um processo de criação passo a passo.
Para começar a usar a novidade, basta pedir para o Gemini Notebook gerar uma apresentação ou um vídeo usando o chat, ou simplesmente clicar/tocar na opção correspondente no painel do Studio.
Uma das opções disponíveis é a personalização guiada, na qual o app sugere temas relevantes, formatos e estilos com base nas suas fontes. Essas preferências também podem ser indicadas já no prompt, para que sejam preenchidas automaticamente.
Você também pode deixar ativa a opção “Revisão”, para que o Notebook mostre a você um esboço da apresentação ou as notas de produção de um vídeo, permitindo refinar o conteúdo antes de gerar o resultado final.
A novidade está sendo disponibilizada gradualmente, tanto para usuários do Google Workspace quanto para quem tem apenas contas pessoais do Google.

Tesla says its new “Emergency Drive Away” feature can do up to $25,000 in damage to a Supercharger every time someone uses it, and the car needs a mandatory service visit too.
Tesla has since released more details about the feature in response to owner questions. But Tesla hasn’t said who gets that bill.
Tesla launched a new feature called “Emergency Drive Away” that lets drivers shift into Drive and leave while still plugged into a Supercharger.
The update comes two months after a gunman shot three people in Teslas at a Supercharger station in Twin Falls, Idaho. And Tesla is limiting it to the US.
Customers can now shop for Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro, and Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra, at Apple Store locations, online, and in the Apple Store app.
Com o início das entregas do iPhone Duo previsto para esta sexta-feira (23/10), alguns desenvolvedores de aplicativos (inclusive a própria Apple) estão correndo contra o tempo para adaptar os softwares ao novo formato.
No caso da Maçã (que, obviamente, já adaptou a maioria dos apps da empresa por meio de atualizações de sistema), a novidade é o aplicativo Suporte (Support), atualizado hoje para a versão 5.17 com “suporte ao iOS 27.1 e iPhone Duo”.
Partindo para os apps de terceiros, o SmartGym chegou recentemente à versão 8.1 com uma interface que se adapta à forma como o usuário posiciona o dispositivo, incluindo visualizações lado a lado, em tela cheia e outras novidades.
O SmartGym está pronto para o iPhone Duo! Um grande update, desenhado para tirar vantagem total de cada posição. Já disponível na App Store.
O Tripsy também já foi atualizado para suportar as novas visualizações do dispositivo. Como você pode conferir na captura de tela abaixo, a novidade já está disponível na versão 3.10.3 do aplicativo, liberada recentemente.
A lista ainda inclui apps como o Flighty (versão 4.11.2), que permite acompanhar voos de mãos livres quando o aparelho está posicionado em formato de tenda, o Instapaper (10.1) e o aplicativo oficial da Sonos (90.1).
O embargo de reviews do iPhone Duo caiu hoje e, com a enxurrada de análises do produto, temos algumas novidades sobre alguns recursos e acessórios.
De acordo com a WIRED, a função Alcançabilidade (Reachability) chegará ao iPhone Duo até o fim do ano. O recurso permite acessar os cantos esquerdo e direito da interface do sistema com um único toque, o que facilita o uso do aparelho (que tem um formato maior do que o dos iPhones convencionais) por quem tem mãos pequenas.
Já sobre o suporte ao Apple Pencil (restrito ao modelo USB-C), há uma boa notícia: o recurso virá junto com o lançamento do iOS 27.2, provavelmente na semana que vem.
O suporte ao Apple Pencil está no iOS 27.2, aliás. A RC do IOS 27.2 saiu na segunda-feira, e funciona.
Como originalmente a Apple só havia mencionado que o acessório poderia ser utilizado no iPhone “ainda neste ano”, esperava-se que a novidade só chegasse com uma futura atualização (um pouco mais distante), mas o suporte virá mesmo em breve, para a alegria dos (poucos) felizardos que já estarão com o aparelho em mãos.

Google has started rolling out the Android 17 QPR1 stable update to compatible Pixel devices, building on the features introduced with Android 17 while adding new animations, Quick Settings changes, multitasking improvements and additional health features.
The update covers a wide range of Pixel phones and tablets, extending from the Pixel 6 generation through the newly released Pixel 11 family. For users coming from the Android 17 QPR1 beta program, the final release is also arriving as a relatively small update rather than requiring a complete system reset.
Android 17 QPR1 Gives the System UI a More Expressive Look
One of the most obvious changes in Android 17 QPR1 is the increased use of blur and transparency throughout the system interface.
The volume panel now uses a semi-transparent design with dynamic colors, while the expanded volume interface has received a visual update. Google has also added background blur to the power menu, giving system controls a more layered appearance.
These changes make the interface feel less static and put more emphasis on depth, transparency and animated transitions.
New Material 3 Multitasking Interface
These changes are part of Google’s broader Material 3 design direction, which emphasizes more expressive motion, adaptive colors and updated interface components.
When several apps are open, the system media and multitasking interface now uses a Material 3-style carousel. Instead of displaying a row of simple dots at the bottom, the interface provides previews of other open applications.
The active app card can also shrink to make room for additional previews, making it easier to recognize and switch between recently used apps.
Quick Settings Get New Animations and Controls
The Quick Settings panel receives several practical changes in this release.
Google has introduced new elastic-style animations when opening Quick Settings, while an edit button is now displayed in the lower-right area for easier customization.
The mobile data tile also gains a “Don’t ask me again” option. Another new addition is a dedicated Keyboard Quick Settings tile, which provides faster access to the system keyboard switcher.
Screen recording has also been adjusted. The tool now defaults to the application that was used for the previous screen recording session, potentially reducing the number of steps needed to start another recording.
Home Screen Menus Are More Clearly Organized
Android 17 QPR1 changes several interactions on the Pixel home screen.
Long-pressing an app icon now separates app-specific shortcuts from system-level actions such as widgets and bubbles. This creates a clearer distinction between functions provided by the app and Android’s own controls.
Long-pressing an empty area of the home screen also opens an updated wallpaper switching interface. The new design uses more noticeable rounded corners and a cleaner arrangement of menu options.
Settings Gets New Material 3 Expressive Icons
The Settings application is another area receiving a visual update.
Android 17 QPR1 introduces new Material 3 Expressive icons in Settings. The design language was previously seen on Pixel Watch devices and is now being brought more prominently to the phone experience.
Google has also added a new animation when users double-click the power button from the lock screen to launch the camera.
Health Connect Tracks More Activity Data
Health-related tracking also gets an expansion in Android 17 QPR1.
Health Connect can now track additional activity measurements, including distance traveled and calories burned, alongside existing step information.
This gives Pixel users more data points for monitoring everyday movement without requiring every activity metric to be handled by a separate application.
Android 17 QPR1 Compatible Pixel Devices
The stable update is available across a broad range of Google Pixel phones and tablets, covering several generations from the Pixel 6 series onward:
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
Pixel 6a
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7a
Pixel Tablet
Pixel Fold
Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8a
Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel 9a
Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Pixel 10a
Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold
The inclusion of the latest Pixel 11 series means the QPR1 release covers Google’s recent Pixel generations as well as several older devices.
What Beta Users Need to Know
Users who are currently running Android 17 QPR1 Beta 9 should receive a relatively small update to move to the stable release.
However, users participating in the Android Beta Program may need to exit the beta program before receiving the stable OTA update, depending on their current enrollment status.
The stable update is being distributed over the air and does not require users to erase their device data as part of the normal upgrade process.
Android 17 QPR1 Is More Than a Visual Update
While the new blur effects and Material 3 styling are among the most visible changes, Android 17 QPR1 also improves everyday interactions through redesigned multitasking, Quick Settings controls, home screen menus and additional Health Connect measurements.
For Pixel owners, the update therefore represents a combination of visual refinement and practical interface changes, rather than simply another maintenance release. The continued Android Beta Program will also allow Google to test future QPR releases and feature updates on supported devices.
A Autoridade Central de Proteção ao Consumidor (CCPA, na sigla em inglês) da Índia está intensificando uma investigação contra a Apple envolvendo o lançamento do iOS 18, que teria causado problemas nas telas e nos microfones de iPhones — forçando, assim, consumidores do país a pagar quantias “exorbitantes” por reparos.
Segundo informações da Reuters, esse mais novo desdobramento é uma continuação de uma investigação iniciada ainda em 2024, quando o órgão regulador recebeu um grande número de reclamações relacionadas a essa atualização de software.
De acordo com alguns desses relatos, os problemas se manifestaram na forma de linhas verdes, rosas e brancas nas telas dos aparelhos — no caso do iPhone 15 (um dos modelos mais populares na época) podem custar cerca de ₹27.900 (algo em torno de R$1.500) para serem substituídas. Como updates do iOS não vêm com garantia, a Apple teria se recusado a arcar com os custos desses reparos.
O CCPA entrou em contato com a Apple em 29 de julho deste ano para informá-la que havia elevado o caso a uma “investigação detalhada” sobre o tema, citando uma possível “violação dos direitos dos consumidores”. A Apple, por sua vez, respondeu ao argumentar que softwares virem sem garantia trata-se de um “padrão global da indústria”, além de ter insistido que o iOS 18 não possuía problemas sistêmicos.
Em sua carta, a Maçã também destacou que a investigação se baseia em “apenas” 75 reclamações e disse que usuários foram lembrados nos termos de uso do seu software que ele vem “sem garantia de qualquer tipo”, bem como precisariam arcar com os custos de reparo caso haja algum problema com o software. “Exigir que cada problema seja tratado como uma violação de garantia absoluta transformaria efetivamente qualquer fornecedor de software em uma seguradora contra todos os riscos tecnológicos”, concluiu.
Em contrapartida, o CCPA disse que “cobrar dos consumidores por problemas decorrentes da própria negligência da empresa viola o princípio do comércio justo”.

Available today, Apple’s latest software updates introduce Siri AI and deliver helpful new Apple Intelligence features that make the apps users interact with every day smarter and more useful.
Apple’s latest software updates introduce Siri AI, a more intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable version of Siri, and deliver helpful new Apple Intelligence features that make the apps users interact with day to day smarter and more useful. The updates also bring powerful and intuitive new features to help parents create safer, more enriching digital experiences for kids and introduce an expansive set of improvements that make Apple products more responsive, more delightful, and easier to use.
Making Apple Products More Personal and Useful Than Ever
Siri AI is an entirely new version of Siri powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence and deeply integrated into iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. A more capable and conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, onscreen awareness, and even more systemwide app actions, Siri AI is now rolling out as a beta in English, with support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish coming in October.
Siri AI can understand personal context across messages, emails, photos, and more, to help users find what they need in the moment. It can also answer questions related to the content on a user’s screen or go out to the web to get up-to-date information to generate a helpful answer. Siri is integrated into the Camera app on iPhone with Siri mode, allowing users to get information and take action on what’s in front of them, like splitting a bill and paying friends with Apple Cash, or adding a custom pass to Wallet. With Visual Intelligence, users on iPhone, iPad, or Mac can now ask Siri about what they’re looking at on the screen, and Vision Pro users can search, ask questions, and take action simply by looking at their surroundings and asking Siri.
With Write with Siri, users can simply describe what they need to generate a draft or help refine what they’ve written. A dedicated Siri app uses iCloud to privately sync conversational history across a user’s products, so they can start chatting with Siri on iPhone and continue the conversation on Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro.
The next generation of Apple Intelligence also brings helpful new features to apps that users rely on every day. In Photos, Spatial Reframing, Extend, and an upgraded Clean Up tool provide more ways to edit photos while respecting the original moment as it was captured. Image Playground gives users the ability to create high-quality images in virtually any style, including photorealistic, and with image metadata and upcoming support for the SynthID standard, users can identify images generated or edited with AI. In Safari, Apple Intelligence powers new tools that automatically organize a user’s tabs into topics; notify them of website changes, like product restocks or price drops; and enable the creation of custom extensions based on a description. Call Context surfaces relevant information, like a confirmation code or reservation number, when calling a business.
New Expert-Informed Child Safety Features and a Redesigned Screen Time Experience
Easy-to-use new features help parents manage what their kids can see, who they can talk to, and when they have access to apps. A new setup flow for child accounts makes it easier to enable age-based safeguards across the system. From the beginning, parents can choose the exact apps their kids have access to on their device, and gradually add more over time. Ask to Browse allows parents to require approval before their kids access a new website in Safari. In addition to being able to approve each new contact their kids connect with, parents can lean on Communication Safety, which now also detects and intervenes to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos.
Redesigned to be more intuitive for parents, Screen Time offers an at-a-glance view of their kids’ average device usage and top apps. New tools make it easy to set daily total time allowances across Entertainment, Games, and Social Media apps, with guidance from leading clinical and child development experts, and Schedules let parents manage which apps their children have access to at different points in the day.
For parents and families looking for more information on how to help create safer, more enriching digital experiences for their kids, Apple has a dedicated website, which includes details on the latest tools and how to get started using them.
A More Refined Experience Across Platforms
The 2027 software releases deliver platform improvements that span performance, connectivity, search, and more, making Apple products even more responsive, reliable, and delightful to use.
• Performance: Users will experience faster performance on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On iPhone and iPad, apps launch up to 30 percent faster, photos load up to 70 percent faster after being taken, and AirDrop transfers are up to 80 percent faster. On iPad, browsing files and transferring them to an external USB drive is now up to 5x faster, and there are additional improvements to closing, switching, and dragging windows while multitasking. On Mac, things users do every day feel extra snappy and responsive. AirDrop transfers are quicker, iCloud Photos uploads begin faster, swiping between spaces and Mission Control is smoother, and more. On Apple Watch, music playback is even faster.
• Connectivity: On iPhone and iPad, transitions between cellular and Wi-Fi networks are more seamless than ever. In Messages, sending large photos and videos in low-bandwidth situations no longer prevents subsequent texts from going through, so users can continue replying while media is being delivered. On Mac, users will experience faster network file browsing. Apple Vision Pro starts and connects to Wi-Fi up to 3x faster.
• Search: On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, search across Spotlight, Photos, and Mail is more stable, efficient, and comprehensive, so it can better help users find exactly what they are looking for. Additionally, a completely new ranking system in Mail surfaces even more relevant results in Top Hits.
• Design: Refinements to the software design with Liquid Glass deliver an even more focused and approachable experience. For example, a new slider in Settings gives users the option to personalize Liquid Glass, adjusting it anywhere from ultraclear to fully tinted to match their preference, and app icons have been updated to be sharper and more defined.
Additional features across platforms:
• iCloud Shared Albums support full-resolution sharing for photos and videos, and make it easier for Android and Windows users to join and contribute.
• The Health app brings support for perimenopause and menopause in Cycle Tracking, including notifications about cycle deviations inclusive of perimenopause.
• AirPods users can now enjoy custom EQ to further personalize how their AirPods sound. And with expanded Apple GymKit functionality, users with AirPods Pro 3 can sync their heart rate data through iPhone while enjoying incredible audio quality.
• Apple Maps brings an enhanced Flyover experience, which combines aerial imagery with AI, allowing users to enjoy even more detailed visuals.
• On Apple Watch, new Smart Stack widget suggestions surface when they are relevant, and users can conveniently open a widget with a new single-handed tap gesture. Workout Buddy is supported even when users don’t have their iPhone nearby, and it’s now available in Spanish in addition to English.
• Apple Vision Pro users can now turn panoramas into spatial scenes with rich depth and use them as a personal Environment, or transform their space entirely with the new Thórsmörk Environment featuring a dynamic Icelandic aurora.
• On Apple TV, users get high-resolution lossless audio support for Apple Music, a redesigned Apple Podcasts app, and broader text-size accessibility options.
The new features start rolling out today across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, visionOS 27, and tvOS 27.
