Odds are if you know the name Arduino, it's through its connection to the DIY community. Much like Raspberry Pi, the company built its reputation creating microcontrollers for hobbyists. But the last few years have seen it expanding that horizon. Last year's Arduino Pro announcement was aim

The biggest story in tech today is that Arm, the British chip designer, has set an initial IPO price range of $47 to $51 per share. While the company will not be the only tech IPO of note that we see this year, it will likely be the largest in terms of dollars raised and its valuation. The pricing

Google is changing its mobile operating system’s branding by adopting “Android” with a capital A instead of all lowercase letters. The company is also updating the bug droid logo to a 3D avatar. The search giant said that the new Android logo takes elements from the Material desig

Latch was a pretty good name for a startup. One could make the argument that it doesn't exactly say what it does on the tin, but no one shops at the Apple Store looking for produce. Soon, however, Latch Inc. will die. In its place, we're getting Door.com, which is a fine name for a 90s hard

Arm this morning submitted an update to its SEC IPO filing proposing a $47 to $51 share pricing. The high end would put the British chip maker's valuation north of $52 billion. The firm has seen a banner few years, as the world's largest hardware makers have adopted its architecture. Arm cu

IFA technically kicks off today in Berlin, but it seems like Lenovo may have won the thing outright. I've given the company plenty of credit in the past for its willingness to try new things in this oft-staid world of consumer electronics, and it's really come out of the gates swinging. Muc

As a company, Magic Leap moved on from its first headset some time ago. Along with a new CEO came a major pivot. With the Magic Leap 2, the startup went all in on enterprise — a far safer and more lucrative bet than the fickle world of gaming. Still, the Magic Leap 1 has continued to operate

We’ve braved the thronging press scrum to bring you a closer look at the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. The big thing across the line is — of course — the arrival of USB-C. It’s been more than a decade since Apple introduced the beleaguered Lightning port exactly 11 years ag

Sooner or later, the numbers were going to contract. Broadly speaking, the pandemic has been a gamechanger for automation broadly and robotics specifically. But not even those categories are immune from macro trends. Per new numbers from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) — whose j

As someone who travels a lot and writes about tech for a living, I'm perpetually on the lookout for things that can ease electronic burden. Anker's been a go-to for the past several years, for clever, quality accessories on the (relative) cheap. The firm launched a handful of portable acces

We’re rapidly approaching a hardware season for the ages. A day after Apple officially set the date for its iPhone 15 unveiling, Google has planted its Pixel flag. The latest version of the company’s proprietary handset is set for an October 4 debut in New York City. The event will almo

The rumors were right as usual. Apple’s next iPhone event is scheduled for September 12. The firm just sent out invites for the event, once again scheduled for its Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino. The invite features a Thanos snap-like graphic (spoilers), accompanied by the word “W
