Kyle Chandler is top of the list to play Hal Jordan in HBO and DC's Lanterns TV series.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 isn’t new, as it launched last year, but its newly available black color looks pretty sick and is currently receiving one of its first (small) discounts. Right now, you can get the black titanium Ultra 2 with a green Alpine Loop strap in either small or large sizes for $749.99 ($49 off) at Amazon. (And if you’re not style-obsessed, the Ultra 2 is still available at Amazon in its original color for $689.99.) It’s still an expensive smartwatch even with this modest discount, but if you feel compelled to get one now, whether for its adventure-ready fitness tracking or fashion reasons (hey, no judgment here), you might as well save what you can. Apple’s chunky wearable has a large 49mm display, and its titanium case...

Nothing is expected to reveal its Ear (Open) headphones tomorrow, but a set of leaked images from WinFuture seems to have spoiled the surprise. The new earbuds appear to have a curved band that hooks around the back of your ear for a potentially more comfortable fit. The speaker, which rests just outside your ear, could come with a 14.2mm driver, according to WinFuture. Just like Nothing’s other earbuds, it looks like the Ear (Open) will sport a transparent design on the stem with the company’s branding. Additionally, WinFuture reports that the new earbuds offer up to eight hours of battery life without the case (or 30 hours with it). The buds are rumored to come with touch controls, the ability to connect to multiple devices at once,...

Get ready to see more PlayStation games. Sony is hosting a State of Play presentation tomorrow, September 24th, and the company says it will feature news and updates on “more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world.” Sony says the State of Play will be more than 30 minutes long, and you’ll be able to watch it at 6PM ET / 3PM PT on YouTube and Twitch. The show is taking place just two days before preorders for the PS5 Pro are available. Sony’s initial presentation about the PS5 Pro was a little lacking, so hopefully we’ll get some better looks at games that will be enhanced by the new console. In a May State of Play, Sony shared information about Astro Bot, one of the best games of the year, and Concord, which...

You can do things like turn lights on or off or dim / brighten, trigger a Movie Time automation, and adjust your...

We’ve been tracking the slow redefinition of photography for years now here at The Verge — I am pretty sure we kicked off the “what is a photo” debate as it relates to smartphone photography on The Vergecast sometime in 2018, with a live show on the topic in 2019. But things started changing fast this year, as more and more companies roll out AI tools that totally redefine how images are made at every step of the photography process, from composition to capture to editing. We’ve written about some of those tools and what they can do, and we’ve published pieces explaining how the widespread availability of these tools makes their impact meaningfully different — and more dangerous — than tools like Photoshop. But as it happens, executives...
