Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple pushed back the launch of the company’s first smart glasses from the early 2027 target to debuting at June’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC), with the glasses made available to the public by the end of 2027. The delay is reportedly concerning the current image of smart glasses being seen as, colloquially, “pervert glasses”. Gurman says Apple is expected to publicly emphasize features like on-device processing and the absence of facial recognition.

In an exclusive, The Wall Street Journal’s sources claim Nvidia is in talks to provide an approximately $250 billion backstop for OpenAI for a data center project. The sources say the backing allows OpenAI to lease a 10-gigawatt project being developed in Ohio with Softbank’s energy subsidiary. The Wall Street Journal notes “OpenAI has no investment-grade credit rating as an unprofitable private company” and that Nvidia’s backstop would enable the company to negotiate more favorable terms.

Roku confirmed the previously expected device price hikes to Engadget, with the Roku Ultra now costing $150, up from $100. The Streaming Stick 4K rose from $50 to $80. The Streaming Stick Plus went from $40 to $60. And the basic Roku stick’s price increased from $30 to $40. A Roku representative told The Desk the price jump was a “tough decision” made to address shortages in memory and other components.
9to5Google spoke with Google’s Vice President of Devices and Services Shakil Barkat about the higher Pixel 11 prices due to “supply realities”.

Barkat also mentioned there is a “dedicated effort” to lower memory requirements in Android “while maintaining a great user experience”. The base Pixel 11 is expected to launch at $899, $100 more than the $799 Pixel 10 launch.

The Register, passing along a vulnerability disclosure from BobDaHacker, reports the Click To Pray app — which was launched by Pope Francis back in 2019 — had been leaking user’s names and emails for months. The app and website have nearly 720,000 registered accounts as of July 2026. BobDaHacker first contacted nine Click To Pray affiliated email addresses six months ago, but received no response. As of July 24th, following some press about the lack of communication about the vulnerability, it has now been patched. There is still no official statement about the issue and no response to the disclosing party as BobDaHacker first found out it was fixed thanks to a Reddit comment. In the initial public disclosure notice BobDaHacker asks Click To Pray for a way to QUOTE “give researchers a way to reach you that doesn’t involve literally praying for a response.”
