    Apple TV Plus is about to get KPopped.

    The streaming service dropped a trailer for its KPopped series, which has K-Pop and Western artists collabing on ‘stages’ — the K-Pop term for live performances with elaborate concepts. It’ll be hosted by PSY and Megan Thee Stallion, and features a stacked lineup including Itzy, KEP1ER, Ateez, STAYC, Patti Labelle (?!), the Spice Girls, Kesha, and Kylie Minogue.

    As a K-Pop stan, this feels similar to Korean competition shows like Kingdom, which once produced this sick Deadpool-themed stage by Stray Kids.

    Garmin isn’t rushing to make smart glasses.

    In its Q2 2025 earnings call, Garmin CEO Cliff Pemble says, “Glasses have come and gone once, and the utility and concerns around the use of those have always come up in the context.” He went on to say it’s a “wait and see thing.”

    He’s not wrong. Privacy is still a major concern with smart glasses. But frankly, Garmin is probably happy enough with another gangbusters quarter in fitness, logging a 41 percent increase year-over-year.
