Apple Releases AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 Firmware for Public Beta Testers

Apple today released public new beta firmware that's designed for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4. The firmware is now available for Apple's public beta testing group, and it has a build number of 8B5014c. Apple provided this firmware to developers last week.


The firmware comes alongside a new public beta of iOS 26.1, and it likely adds support for Live Translation in new languages, including Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Chinese (both Mandarin Traditional and Simplified).

With iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple added a beta firmware update installation option that's available from the AirPods settings interface when the AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, which facilitates beta testing.

Public beta testers can use the beta option to turn on beta downloads after signing up on Apple's website.

Test du Sony Xperia 1 VII : pourquoi c’est tellement frustrant

Sony persiste dans sa vision d'un smartphone "différent". Prise jack toujours là, slot microSD conservé, modes photo manuels poussés… le Xperia 1 VII cultive sa différence face aux Galaxy, Pixel et iPhone dopés à l'intelligence artificielle. Mais cette différence assumée justifie-t-elle un tarif de 1 500 euros ? Réponse dans ce test.

Test Ghost of Yotei (PlayStation 5) - Trois cents ans ont passé depuis Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Yotei présente une nouvelle protagoniste nommée Atsu , une guerrière connue sous le nom d'Onryo , terme désignant un esprit vengeur dans le folklore japonais. Le jeu se déroule dans le Japon féodal de 1603, environ 300 ans après les événements de Ghost of Tsushima. Cependant, Atsu n'a aucun lien avec Jin Sakai du jeu précédent. Autrefois, Atsu vivait heureuse quelque part dans la région d'Ezo avec son jeune frère et ses parents. Un jour, alors que son jeune frère jouait, ils trouvèrent un homme d'âge mûr et le recueillirent chez eux. Contre toute attente, cet homme était le Seigneur Saito , membre du groupe criminel Yotei Six, qui entretenait une sombre histoire avec le père d'Atsu. Outre le Seigneur Saito, il y avait cinq autres membres cruels surnommés le Serpent, l'Oni, le Kitsune, l'Araignée et le Dragon . Pour faire court, les six membres des Yotei Six se sont rendus chez Atsu et ont impitoyablement massacré sa famille et détruit sa maison. Heureusement, Atsu a survécu à l'attaque. Cependant, cet incident lui a certainement causé des souffrances pour le restant de ses jours. Elle s'est entraînée dur pour se venger des Yotei Six. Ghost of Yotei est le deuxième jeu de la franchise « Ghost » de Sucker Punch Productions. Malgré un titre similaire, Ghost of Yotei n'est pas une suite de Ghost of Tsushima, car il n'a aucun lien direct avec le jeu en termes d'univers, d'histoire ou de personnages. En résumé, Ghost of Yotei s'inscrit dans le même genre que Ghost of Tsushima : un jeu d'action-aventure en monde ouvert. Vous incarnez Atsu , une Ronin en quête de vengeance pour sa famille, massacrée par un groupe de personnages masqués connus sous le nom des Yotei Six . Le nom d'Atsu se répand dans tout le pays d'Ezo, et elle est surnommée Onryo (esprit vengeur). Atsu finit par devenir une fugitive publique, et sa tête est mise à prix. (Lire la suite)

What to Expect From Apple's New Products as Early as This Week

Apple plans to announce new products "this week," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.


In his Power On newsletter, Gurman said the products set to be updated this week include the iPad Pro, Vision Pro, and "likely" the base 14-inch MacBook Pro, with all three likely to receive a spec bump with Apple's next-generation M5 chip.

Gurman does not expect Apple to hold an event to announce these products. Instead, there will likely be a series of press releases on the Apple Newsroom website, and there might also be shorter promotional videos for each product on YouTube.

Below, we have recapped rumors about each product.

iPad Pro



The next iPad Pro was already leaked in a pair of unboxing videos out of Russia. The videos confirmed that the device will be equipped with the M5 chip, and an increased minimum of 12GB of RAM, but no major design changes were visible.

There is one minor design change: "iPad Pro" is no longer inscribed on the back of the device.

It was previously rumored that the next iPad Pro models would be equipped with two front cameras, instead of one, making it easy to have video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations. However, there was no evidence of a second front camera in the unboxing videos out of Russia, so it is unclear if this rumor will pan out.

Geekbench 6 results shown in one of the unboxing videos revealed the M5 chip will stick with a 9-core CPU, with three performance cores and six efficiency cores. The results showed the M5 chip will offer up to 12% faster multi-core CPU performance, and up to 36% faster GPU performance, compared to the M4 chip in the current iPad Pro.

Vision Pro



An updated version of the Vision Pro is also expected to be equipped with an M5 chip, although an earlier rumor said the device would receive an M4 chip.

There could also be an R2 chip for improved input processing, but the report said that chip would be manufactured with TSMC's latest 2nm process, and Apple's first chips using that process are not expected to debut until the second half of next year.

Apple is expected to start including a more comfortable "Dual Knit Band" head strap in the box with the updated Vision Pro, and the headset could get a Space Black color option. The device will continue to support Wi-Fi 6, rather than Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, according to FCC documents that were erroneously made available for public viewing.

It is unclear if these changes will be enough for Apple to consider the updated Vision Pro to be a second-generation model. Recent reports have indicated that Apple has suspended development of a truly next-generation Vision Pro, along with a lightweight and lower-cost "Vision Air" model, as it focuses its efforts on smart glasses.

14-inch MacBook Pro



A base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip is "ready for launch," according to Gurman.

Last week, AppleInsider reported that a base MacBook Pro with an M5 chip would be released before higher-end models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which are expected to follow in early 2026. Beyond the M5 chip, no significant changes are expected.

Bigger changes to the MacBook Pro are expected with the two-generations-away models, with rumored upgrades including an OLED display, touchscreen capabilities, a thinner design, built-in cellular connectivity, and M6 chips manufactured with TSMC's latest 2nm process, for even greater year-over-year performance gains.

Other Products in Pipeline



The following products are expected to be updated before the end of the year, but it is not clear if Apple will announce any of them this week in particular.

HomePod mini availability is starting to dwindle at select Apple Store locations around the world. For example, the HomePod mini is completely out of stock in all five color options at Apple's flagship Regent Street store in London.

New models of the Pro Display XDR and Studio Display have also been rumored.

‘Not difficult’: Wane explains omission of Jake Connor from England Ashes squad

  • Leeds half-back won the 2025 Man of Steel award

  • First Test against Australia at Wembley on 25 October

The England head coach, Shaun Wane, has said the decision to leave Super League’s Man of Steel, Jake Connor, out of his squad for the Ashes was “not really difficult”. He added that he does not understand the obsession surrounding the exile of the Leeds Rhinos half-back.

Connor is by far the most notable omission from the 24-man squad to take on Australia in the first Ashes series since 2003. It begins on 25 October at Wembley, with Tests at Everton and Headingley to follow on successive Saturdays. There are a number of surprise inclusions, including a returnfor Hull KR’s Joe Burgess after his two-try performance in the Super League Grand Final on Saturday. The winger has been out of the national side for a decade.

A new Dissidia Final Fantasy is coming, but it’s a mobile game

For years, fans have been hoping for a revival of the Dissidia Final Fantasy series. This weekend, Square Enix granted that wish, but with a twist. A new entry in the Final Fantasy fighting game series has been officially announced, but it's not coming to consoles or PC. Instead, the next battle between heroes and villains will take place exclusively on iOS and Android mobile devices.

The announcement, which dropped on social media and the official Square Enix website, was met with scepticism from much of the community. This is rooted in Square Enix's less-than-stellar track record with its live-service mobile spin-offs. Fans were quick to point to the fates of past Final Fantasy mobile titles like Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia and Final Fantasy: Record Keeper, both of which were shut down after a few years.

For now, the future of the Dissidia franchise lies on mobile. A full reveal, including the game's official title and a first look at gameplay, is scheduled for this Tuesday, October 14th.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: Final Fantasy mobile games have been a bit of a mixed bag in the past. It will be interesting to see how this one looks when its revealed tomorrow.

Screenshots of Rare’s Everwild leak following cancellation

In recent weeks, art leaks have revealed evidence of several cancelled Xbox games, ranging from Perfect Dark to Zenimax Online Studios' cancelled MMO. Now, a new leak has revealed a few screenshots from Rare's now cancelled game, Everwild. 

MP1st found the screenshots through the website of an unnamed artist who worked on the game. It shows a handful of in-game scenes, as well as UI elements like inventory menus and the graphics settings screen. Some of the collectable resources in this early development build were figments, mosaics, seeds and plants.

Apparently, the images come from a version of the game “relatively close” to its cancellation. It is clear that a plan for the game was taking shape prior to the cancellation, but it was still very early on.

At this point, Everwild will no longer be coming out. Rare was one of a number of studios to be hit by layoffs at Microsoft this year, although a small portion of the Everwild team is now working on Sea of Thieves instead. At this time, it is unclear what we can expect out of Rare beyond continued updates for Sea of Thieves.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Previous reports have claimed that Everwild went through many stops and starts after being announced in 2019. Based on these screenshots, it would have been a survival / crafting game of sorts.

Test Particle Hearts (PS5) - Une expérience particulière.

Particle Hearts est un jeu de plateforme et de réflexion méditatif et riche en émotions qui invite les joueurs dans un monde lumineux et onirique, entièrement construit à partir de particules changeantes et d'une narration ambiante. Développé par Underwater Fire et publié par First Break Labs, le jeu s'éloigne des conventions traditionnelles du jeu de plateforme et se concentre davantage sur la création d'une expérience surréaliste et atmosphérique, privilégiant l'introspection, la découverte et la poésie visuelle. C'est un jeu au ton doux, proposant des fragments narratifs subtils et des défis abstraits dans un environnement qui semble constamment sur le point de se défaire ou de se transformer en quelque chose de nouveau. Au cœur du jeu se trouve le Vagabond, une mystérieuse silhouette cornue qui se réveille dans un monde silencieux et étranger, sans aucun souvenir de son passé. Pas de présentation ni de tutoriel guidé : juste un paysage ouvert et le vague sentiment d'avoir perdu ou oublié quelque chose. À mesure que les joueurs explorent, le monde s'ouvre à travers des biomes interconnectés, chacun doté de sa propre identité, de son ambiance sonore et de ses environnements de particules changeantes. Plutôt que d'être guidé par une intrigue centrale, le jeu utilise des fragments de mémoire dispersés – des carillons éoliens disséminés à travers le monde – pour évoquer le passé du Vagabond et l'étrange cycle dans lequel il semble prisonnier. Ces fragments sont entièrement optionnels, ce qui confère à l'histoire une dimension à la fois intime et insaisissable, privilégiant la curiosité plutôt que la réalisation de listes de contrôle.
