This week, we have been handled to Google AI updates galore at Google I/O 2026, and Apple introduced the date of its personal software program showcase keynote: WWDC 2026.
To atone for all this and extra, scroll right down to learn our highlights of the most important tech information tales of the week.
However earlier than you go, you may need to check your self on our tech information quiz…
7. The Trump Telephone saga bought worse
Final week, we reported on what was hopefully the top of the T1 Trump Telephone’s saga: it’s being shipped out to clients. Although this week now we have horrible information, and that’s the private information of seemingly everybody who purchased one has been leaked, due to a safety exploit on the Trump Cellular web site.
This consists of names, addresses, and “all the pieces wanting bank card quantity,” stated YouTuber Coffeezilla through his Voidzilla sidechannel (who was one of many folks affected by the leak).
This leak additionally seemingly revealed that solely round 30,000 orders have really been positioned for the T1 Telephone, and solely from roughly 10,000 distinct clients, which is a far cry from the earlier estimates of round 590,000.
6. Apple set a WWDC date
Understanding when Apple will maintain WWDC and realizing the precise day and time of the keynote are two various things. One is a sign to mark your calendar and make journey plans, the opposite (that keynote) is a set off for deep rumination about all Apple will say and do. Now that we all know it’s June 8 at 10AM PST, we’ve been pondering that massive Google Gemini-backed Siri reveal, platform updates galore, a folding tease (please), and Tim Cook’s CEO swan song. What a wild day it will be.
5. Nvidia gave up on gamers?
This change in strategy lines up with the rumor that we won’t see any new GPUs from Nvidia this year at all, as it seems Team Green is turning its back on PC gamers somewhat.
The move to bury graphics sales in Nvidia’s financial reports feels like another step on this path of marginalizing the GeForce family. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions, but it does feel somewhat ominous.
4. We played Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
After going hands-on with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced at a Ubisoft preview event in Paris last month, we can safely say that this is a remake done extremely well. It has all the makings of a fabulously refreshed experience, taking one of the best games in the series, giving it a boost mechanically and a glow-up aesthetically, and still ensuring the right balance of the original’s spirit with some game-enhancing modernizations.
Combat has been overhauled to be much more action-oriented, and while there’s a clear influence of recent games in the series like Assassin’s Creed Mirage here, it still retains that flow, style, and piratical action that made Edward Kenway such a joy to take on in combat all those years ago. The world of the Caribbean in the Golden Age of Piracy looks absolutely breathtaking, controls have been tightened, exploration feels more organic and natural, and there are even big changes to those pesky and annoying insta-fail stealth missions.
We didn’t get to see much of the brand-new content that’s been made for Resynced, but we’re excited to dive back in and devour everything the original had, and more, all over again when the game releases on July 9.
3. We tested Sony’s expensive headphones
2. Google I/O delivered Android XR… kinda
We’ve known since last year that 2026 will be Google’s year of the smart glasses, and at I/O we finally saw that promise in all its glory as Samsung unveiled a pair of pairs from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. Attendees also got to experience Xreal’s Project Aura glasses.
As expected, they’re essential Ray-Ban Meta glasses but powered by Google Gemini — though that’s not necessarily a bad thing given the popularity of Meta’s specs.
The only catch? We didn’t get prices or release dates for any of this tech, though Samsung did promise its glasses would land in the “Fall” (so either September, October, or November).
1. Google I/O brought AI galore
In fact, Google is so confident about the all-encompassing nature of its new software tools that the company used an iPhone (not a Pixel) to demo Gemini Spark at Google I/O. Was that a warning shot to Apple, or an olive branch? Maybe we’ll find out at WWDC…
