Pinarello has unveiled the Dogma X, its premium all-road/endurance bike built from Torayca M40X carbon with refined X-stays, aero-tuned down tube, internal routing inspired by the Dogma F, 35mm tyre clearance, and UDH compatibility. It’s offered in 11 sizes with frame-only pricing around £5,500 and complete builds from roughly £12,000, marking it as a high-end, performance-first model likely out of reach for most riders.
Xreal’s A01 Plus is a $299, 62-gram, stripped-down version of the 1S that aims to bring affordable AR to a broader audience with bright 1080p visuals at 120Hz and modular shells, but it trims features like 3DoF positioning, on-glass volume control, and adjustable opacity. It relies on prescription inserts (~$50) for crisp clarity, and its frame can feel flimsy compared to the 1S, making it a solid entry point for first-time buyers who don’t need premium features.
Rumors say Apple's first foldable iPhone Ultra will debut this fall (September 2026) with a 7.8-inch main display and a 5.5-inch exterior screen, a thinner unfolded body, a new hinge, Touch ID in the lock button instead of Face ID, and a tweaked iOS 27 supporting side-by-side multitasking; production is said to be ramping toward about 10 million units with sales likely from late 2026, and a high price around $2,000–$2,399.
Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo says Apple's first foldable iPhone, likely named the Ultra, will be announced in September with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup but won’t ship for about a month. He pegs the Ultra’s price at roughly $2,300–$2,500—about double the iPhone 17 Pro Max—and despite the high cost, he expects strong demand that could cause immediate sellouts and 4–6 week delivery times through year-end.
Gizmodo questions Ayaneo’s Next 2 handheld, which can cost up to $5,300 with 128GB RAM and 2TB storage. Despite a premium 9-inch OLED screen and high-end controls, the piece argues the device is far pricier than capable gaming laptops or cheaper handhelds (e.g., the Xbox Ally X at $1,000, the Claw 8 EX AI+ at around $1,800). Memory shortages and the need to trade off graphical fidelity, frame rate, or battery life make such a device a luxury rather than a smart buy, suggesting most buyers should skip the $5k-plus price tag.
The 2027 Corvette Stingray gains a 6.7-liter LS6 V8 (535 hp, 520 lb-ft), dropping 0–60 to 2.8 seconds and pushing top speed over 200 mph; base price starts at $73,495, with the Z51 package adding $5,395 for enhanced brakes and handling.
Following GTA 6’s price reveal, fans reportedly aimed to snag the $100 Ultimate Edition for free by leveraging Microsoft Rewards, which offers points for store purchases and Bing searches; the buzz includes Xbox claiming record orders while Sony touts PS5 performance, and headlines highlight controversy over what content is locked behind the Ultimate Edition.
RAM-driven price hikes in 2026 make last year’s Android phones a smarter buy than the newest models. The piece highlights five solid options: Samsung Galaxy S25, Moto G Stylus (2025), Google Pixel 9a, Samsung Galaxy A56 5G, and Motorola Razr (2025) — all offering strong specs and substantial savings over their 2026 successors.
GTA 6 will cost £69.99 in the UK (£89.99 for the Ultimate edition); physical copies will include a digital download code instead of a disc. US pricing is $79.99 standard and $100 premium. The game releases on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-load available from 12 November. The disc-less physical edition aims to curb leaks and resales, a point of debate among fans and analysts before the launch.
Slate Auto’s American-made electric pickup finally has a price: $24,950, not under $20k as once promised, but still the least expensive truck and EV in the US. Preorders go live now with a $300 non-refundable deposit to lock in a delivery date, production is slated for autumn 2026 and deliveries start in late 2026. Slate claims roughly 180,000 reservations to date.
Rockstar revealed GTA 6 pricing ahead of pre-orders: $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate edition, described as a single-player experience at launch. Pre-orders begin June 25 across PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Store, and retailers, with digital pre-loading starting November 12 and physical editions available the same day to support pre-loading. The game launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Digital pre-orders come with the Vintage Vice City Pack and a free GTA+ month. No multiplayer or online features were announced for launch in the initial pricing reveal.
Valve revealed Steam Machine pricing from $1,049 for 515GB to $1,428 for 2TB with a controller, a level driven by higher DRAM/NAND costs as AI demand tightens supply. The price anchors the device as a niche, limited-launch product unlikely to move mainstream console volumes, with analysts forecasting constrained availability and considering implications for next-gen systems (PS6, Project Helix) and potential shifts to subsidies, streaming boxes, or hardware-subscription models as costs stay high.
MSI’s Claw 8 EX AI+ uses Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme to deliver top-tier handheld PC performance, clocking in strong frame rates (often 50–75% ahead of rivals) with long battery life, a bright 8-inch 120Hz display, and premium inputs. However, at $1,800 it sits among the most expensive portables, and users will contend with a mixed software experience, some missing features at launch (like frame generation in Endurance mode), and design quirks that may deter casual buyers.
Digital Foundry’s Steam Machine review finds the PS5 generally matches or slightly outperforms Valve’s living‑room PC in several games, aided by Sony’s memory bandwidth; the Steam Machine does better in some CPU‑limited scenes, but its steep price (over $1k) versus the PS5’s $599.99 makes it a niche choice for PC enthusiasts.
Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk headline the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026, with Cindy Curley also inducted as a player and Brian Burke as a Builder; induction is set for November 9. Bergeron, in his first year of eligibility, enjoyed a 19‑season Bruins career, a six‑time Selke winner and a Stanley Cup champion who’s also expected to have his No. 37 retired by Boston. Price is the Canadiens’ all‑time wins leader and joined the rare club to win both the Vezina and Hart in the same season (2014‑15). Rinne is the Predators’ all‑time goalie legend, a Vezina winner and a key figure in Nashville’s rise, while Tkachuk tallied 538 goals and 1,065 points in a storied career; he’s also the father of Matthew and Brady Tkachuk. Curley contributed to U.S. women’s hockey and NCAA success, and Burke’s long executive résumé includes leadership roles with multiple NHL teams. The class will be inducted November 9.
