The most leftfield part, though, might be a letter from Xbox chief Phil Spencer talking about Nintendo. He said Nintendo was a prime asset for Microsoft\u2019s continued push in gaming and could be the company\u2019s best bet for consumer relevance. Spencer added Nintendo had a board of directors that had not pushed for increases in market growth in ages \u2014 indicating, of course, a massive difference in how Nintendo governs itself compared to Microsoft. Eventually, Xbox bought gaming giants, including Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, so fewer plumbers and more gunners.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has attempted to acquire the Japanese gaming giant for a while. When Bloomberg<\/em> published an in-depth on the development of Xbox in 2021, it revealed that Microsoft execs had asked Nintendo if it was willing to be acquired \u2014 and were laughed out of the room.<\/p>\n

By the end of yesterday, Spencer commented on X, saying: \u201cso much has changed\u201d since those documents. He added the company \u201cwill share the real plans when we are ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the year of the USB-C iPhone, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max adds a new action button and the most versatile camera system yet. Apple has kept the same price for the Pro ($999) and Pro Max ($1,199) while doubling the storage capacity on the base model of the latter. If you\u2019ve been holding on to an iPhone that\u2019s at least two years old (or even just a year old), this could well be the year to upgrade. The changes coming to Apple\u2019s Pro handsets feel meatier than before, and a new titanium build makes these devices seem fresher too.<\/p>\n

Microsoft plans an all-digital Xbox Series X and haptic controller<\/a><\/h2>\n

The console could land November 2024.<\/h3>\n

\n

Microsoft is planning a mid-generation refresh of the Xbox Series X with a new discless cylindrical design, according to those leaked documents. Microsoft previously said it has no plans for a mid-gen console refresh, but that doesn\u2019t appear to be true according to the document. In fact, the company may be working on three new consoles. The first, codenamed Ellewood, is a light refresh of the Xbox Series S (set to arrive around September 2024), while Brooklin, tentatively planned for November 2024, is a new discless version of the Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n

Another model, XDL, matches Brooklin\u2019s specs but will presumably offer Xbox Design Lab customization. Another slide details a two-tone Sebile controller with built-in accelerometers and haptics that would make it more like Sony\u2019s latest DualSense controller. There are apparently some sustainability tweaks, like a swappable battery, recycled materials and improved repairability. If you\u2019re looking even further into the future, the documents also detailed a cloud hybrid Xbox for 2028, which would combine console power with cloud strength.<\/p>\n

Neuralink opens enrollment for its first human-brain-computer interfaces<\/a><\/h2>\n

The company wants to test its implants on people with quadriplegia.<\/h3>\n

Elon Musk\u2019s Neuralink company, purveyors of the experimental N1 brain-computer interface (BCI), announced on Tuesday<\/a> it has finally opened enrollment for its first human study.<\/p>\n

The study \u201caims to evaluate the safety of our implant (N1) and surgical robot (R1) and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with paralysis to control external devices with their thoughts.\u201d As such, this study is looking primarily for \u201cthose who have quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).\u201d The release adds: \u201cThe initial goal of our BCI is to grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
