Roku’s first OLED TVs are up to $400 off, starting at $699
Roku recently launched its first-ever OLED TVs. The $999 starting price was already impressive for the 55-inch Pro Series model that has a 120Hz refresh rate OLED panel (with four HDMI 2.1 ports and support for Dolby Vision and HDR 10 Plus). The price is even lower right now at Amazon when you enter the code ROKUOLED300 at checkout. It knocks a clean $300 off, as the code indicates, making this the most affordable modern 55-inch OLED you can get right now.
If you’re more of a 65-inch TV kind of person, you’re in luck, as there’s a code that knocks $400 off that model to make it just $799 at checkout. Enter the code ROKUOLED400 to bring the $1,299 65-inch Pro Series down to $799. We haven’t had a chance to test either model, but they seem respectable if you want great picture quality without breaking the bank.
Roku Pro Series OLED (2026)
Where to Buy:
Given that these are Roku TVs, the company’s software is built-in, negating the need to stick a streaming device into one of its HDMI ports, unless you prefer hardware from other brands. The Pro Series includes a backlit Roku remote, and it supports auto low latency mode, and has variable refresh rate (AMD FreeSync Premium) for gaming. There’s a pricier Pro Series LX coming in October starting at $1,299 that claims to be twice as bright as the Pro Series, with a reflection-reducing polarizer and 144Hz refresh rate.

- The Nothing Phone 4A Pro got its first big discount at Amazon. The base model with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage is $449 (usually $499), and the upgraded model with 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage is $509 (usually $599). The Phone 4A Pro borrows the high-end version’s signature feature, its Glyph Matrix, which displays the time, battery life, or notification icons. My colleague Dominic Preston reviewed the 4A Pro, and appreciated its fun and unique design, slim build, and excellent display.
- Amazon has a variety of DJI Osmo Nano video camera bundles on sale. The most basic option for $349 includes the camera, which has 64GB of internal storage, the Vision Dock with a built-in screen, a magnetic ball joint mount, a protective case, USB-C cable, and two magnetic mounting options. This tiny video camera has earned a reputation for offering surprisingly rich video quality despite its tiny size and affordable price point.

Phones don’t have lights
Mark Zuckerberg has a new defense of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses: They're actually doing more to signal they're taking a photo than phones do. He's brought this up in at least two recent interviews, noting that the glasses have a light that comes on to signal when a photo is being taken, while phones do not. In one of the interviews, Joanna Stern notes that, while phones do not always emit a light, someone does have to hold a phone up in the air, which is itself pretty noticeable.
On today's Vergecast, we're talking about Meta Connect, the Muse AI assistant, all the new smart glasses hardware, and Zuckerberg's response to the privacy uproar ar …
These camera apps give you more control over the iPhone 18 Pro’s aperture
One of the questionable limitations of the iPhone 18 Pro's new main camera with a variable aperture is that you're limited to just four settings in the native iOS' camera app in manual mode: f/1.48, f/1.8, f/2.8, and f/4. Those same limitations are also in place when the app is adjusting the iris itself in Auto aperture mode, but it turns out that's not a strict limitation of the iPhone's camera hardware. Apple's SDK allows third-party camera apps to implement more granular control of the aperture.
BlackMagic Design's well-featured and still completely free BlackMagic Camera app for iOS was one of the first third-party options to introduce …
Tesla’s Optimus robot is going through growing pains
Hitting its goal of making 20,000 Optimus robots per week is reportedly proving tricky for Tesla. The Information reports that Tesla produced "several hundred robots a week" last month, after it repurposed its Model S and Model X production lines for Optimus earlier this year. However, this strategy is reportedly creating manufacturing snags, like issues lining up parts precisely, as The Information notes: "Not only are the Optimus production lines new, but the Optimus parts are much smaller and have to fit together far more precisely than car parts."
It reports that even in the "V3" Optimus robots it's currently producing, the hands and f …
Meta makes the Muse filesystem even more accessible
Yesterday, with a little prodding, it was discovered that Meta's Muse would expose its filesystem to curious users. The files offered a fascinating peek under the hood of an AI chatbot, and appeared to expose details we weren't meant to see, not least because Muse itself told people, including us, it wasn't supposed to reveal them.
But today Muse will eagerly offer up the contents of its file system when you ask for it. That appears to be because, as Meta's Nat Friedman later said, this is the "intended behavior."
In a post on X, Meta Superintelligence Labs' David Singleton elaborated:
This was a very deliberate choice - your Muse Secur …
Leaks reveal a new Apple HomePod mini, iPad mini, and Apple TV 4K
Apple is expected to announce more hardware before the end of the year following the debut of the iPhone 18 Pro and folding iPhone Duo earlier this month. The updated products will include a new version of the HomePod mini, the iPad mini 8, and the Apple TV 4K, according to details and images discovered in Apple's own code by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.
Details from the leaks are sparse, but the HomePod Mini 2 will carry forward a similar design to the original model that debuted in late 2020. While the current model is available in bright color options including orange, yellow, and blue, the leaked images of the HomePod Mini 2 reve …
Sony and UMG are suing Suno again
Sony and Universal Music Group filed yet another suit against Suno. The labels claim its new v6 model still infringes on their copyrights because it's trained on user outputs from previous models, which were themselves trained on unlicensed music ripped from YouTube and other sources. Sony and UMG are notable holdouts who did not sign a licensing agreement with Suno.
In its complaint shared with The Verge, Sony and UMG accuse Suno of "model laundering," saying:
"Training a 'new' model on the outputs of an infringing model does not eliminate the infringement; it launders it, passing the value of Plaintiffs' expression from the copied reco …
One company is at the center of a wave of rogue AI attacks
In July, OpenAI revealed that its AI agents had attacked Hugging Face without permission, sparking widespread concerns about AI safety. Since then, a string of similar incidents involving agents from Meta, Anthropic, Google, and other companies has fueled further fears about rogue AI. As disclosures implicating numerous AI models trickled out over the past few months, these seemed like separate incidents. But many share a common source: one specific company tasked with testing the agents.
Irregular, an Israeli startup that stress-tests AI models in "high-fidelity research platforms that simulate and monitor real-world AI security scenarios …

Gaming’s biggest horror series are more vital than ever
For the third year in a row, I've been scared out of my wits by a new Silent Hill game. First it was the modern remake of Silent Hill 2, then the Japan-set spinoff Silent Hill F. Now I find myself slowly crawling through a quaint Scottish town in Silent Hill: Townfall, trying my best not to get brutally murdered by demonic creatures chasing me through the streets. It's been a remarkable turnaround for a franchise that once seemed like it was on life support. And when you combine it with a strong run from Resident Evil across games and film, you have gaming's two biggest horror franchises both at the height of their powers.
For Resident Evil …
