The iPhone 15’s USB-C port will let you charge your AirPods and Apple Watch.
It’s one nice perk from the iPhone’s switch to USB-C.

Ubisoft’s new shooter failed console certification.
Mark Rubin, an executive producer at Ubisoft, said in a post on Ubisoft’s website that XDefiant didn’t pass Sony and Microsoft’s certification testing. Had it passed, the game would have shipped at the end of August. Now, depending on the results of the next submission, the game may not come out until later this month or sometime in October.
You can read all the details in Rubin’s blog post.

Threads doesn’t show anything when you search for “covid.”
Meta’s Threads just got proper search, but Taylor Lorenz at The Washington Post found that it doesn’t show results for some terms related to covid and vaccines as well as terms like “sex,” “nude,” and “gore.”
From the piece:
“The search functionality temporarily doesn’t provide results for keywords that may show potentially sensitive content,” the statement said, adding that the company will add search functionality for terms only “once we are confident in the quality of the results.”
That said, as my colleague Wes Davis found, as you’re typing in terms like “covid” or “covid-19,” you might see a prompt pointing you to the CDC’s website. But if you hit enter to search for those terms directly, the results page will still be blank.
Update September 11th, 8:37PM ET: Added details about CDC prompt.
