Of all years to sleep on bringing new innovations to its folding phone, Samsung seems to have decided that its Z Fold 5 only needed the smallest of tweaks. At least they got rid of the hinge gap!

When you have an Android phone without access to the Google Play Store and you are looking to install Apple’s Move to iOS app, that is.

Look, the Pixel Fold is the new hotness and we know the Z Fold 5 is coming in just a couple weeks, but both of those are going to cost you close to $2,000. Last year’s Z Fold 4, meanwhile, is still an excellent device and with today’s $700 discount, much more attainable than those other folding phones.

Even The Verge Merch Store is having a sale today and you can get 20 percent off anything in it, including these sweet joggers. (Or sweatpants, if you’re an old like me.) The discount applies automatically at checkout.

Co-founder of Withings, Eric Carreel, is setting the record straight on how exactly to pronounce the company’s name. According to Carreel, the correct pronounciation is “Wee-things”, because the Wi refers to Wi-Fi and in French, Wi-Fi is pronounced “Wee-Fee”.

You might not be aware, but Amazon didn’t invent the ebook reader with the Kindle.
ThisDoesNotCompute has a new video today taking a look at Sony’s Data Discman devices from the early 1990s, its first cut at an ebook reader that predated the Kindle by over a decade. The Data Discman was weird: a lot of the models looked like little laptops and instead of storing the books locally, you inserted cartridges into it. Inside the plastic cartridge were three-inch CDs.

We’re barely past the fourth of July, but Amazon has announced that it will be hosting an event to presumably launch new devices on September 20th. According to Dave Limp, the company’s head of devices and services, it will be hosted at the Amazon’s new HQ2 in Arlington, VA.
