Apple beta season is here
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 91, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, how is summer more than a month over already, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I'm pondering the leaked Pixel 10 lineup, marveling at BYD's leaping Yangwang U9 supercar, reading about why everyone's reading Reddit, already looking forward to Ted Lasso's fourth season, rewatching MKBHD's videos about the Escobar folding phone, melting with joy at the new Pokémon Concierge season 2 trailer, dreaming of buying the Lego Game Boy but not actually doing so because my toddler would destroy it, and listening to Lucius' recently released self-titled album. I also have for you some new betas from Apple, a retro-styled PC, some thoughts about cases, and how to play Dance Dance Revolution at home today. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What do you want to know more about? What awesome tricks do you know that everyone else should? What app should everyone be using? Tell me everything: installer@ And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.) Thanks to everyone who replied to my quandary about whether or not I should keep using a phone case. There were a bunch of great perspectives and feelings, so I'm sharing a few of them here in the newsletter — a lot more people go caseless than I expected! As for my own decision? Well, I haven't reached one yet, and honestly, I may never pick one lane. Typically, my iPhone 16 Pro lives in this slim Torras case, but as I write this, it's sitting on top of the case, not in it. Will I put the case on before I walk out the door? We'll see! 'I, too, felt the urge to go caseless. I'm pretty careful with my electronics, so I still didn't love the idea of setting my phone down on tables and things alike. I got the magnetic back from Nomad, and it has felt like the perfect meet-in-the-middle accessory for me! Phone feels almost caseless, and I still get the back protection.' – Omesh 'I am totally the same with cases. I know I'll drop it once a year and totally ruin the thing and I hate that. What I do is take the case off when I'm just chilling at my desk or couch or chair. That way I get the joy of the smooth phone, but when I am in danger of dropping it on concrete or getting out of my truck, I have the protection it needs.' – Travis 'I ran my first gen Pixel Fold without a case (while living in a beachy resort town) for two years! If the Fold can survive it, so can a 16 Pro. The Fold is still alive and well as a secondary device/backup phone. Of course, it's definitely not pristine, so if you don't want your phone to bear its scars, you should probably keep a case on it.' – John 'I have the Peak Design GNAR case. Saw some complaints online about the protection being too minimal for the front of the phone, but it's been solid for me. Does well being outdoors (I run outside all the time). I'm rocking no screen protector.' – airwr3ck6669 'I never used cases until I got my current phone (Pixel 6A) because the Razer Kishi controller I used no longer fit snuggly around it, so I found a case that allowed it to fit again. I would say the case would eventually come off, but I only realized as I was reading this article that even though I no longer use that controller, I hadn't thought to take the case off.' – xPutNameHerex Today, I'm featuring Keith Broni, the editor-in-chief of Emojipedia. I thought of reaching out to him for this section after World Emoji Day on July 17th (the date shown on the calendar emoji), and he graciously replied. He initially got involved with the site in 2018 and took on increasing responsibilities 'over the years' before taking the editor-in-chief job in 2022. In addition to everything about his homescreen, I wanted to know what he's looking forward to in the world of emoji. 'I'm excited to see what the next unexpected emoji repurposing meme is going to be, especially as Gen Alpha becomes more and more online,' he tells me, like how Millennials repurposed the Eggplant and Peach and how Gen Z repurposed the Skull. Emoji fascinate me — full disclosure, I submitted proposals that helped bring the Saluting Face, Bubbles, Waffle, and Yawning Face emoji into the world — so I'm to share more of the emoji universe with Installer readers. Here's Keith's homescreen and his explanation of what's on it. The phone: Google Pixel 6. Like Molly last week, I'm an 'until the wheels fall off' type of person when it comes to my personal phone, though I use an iPhone 15 Pro for work. The wallpaper: A 2019 picture of me (I'm in all black, bar the white soles of my sneakers) wandering the grounds of the Zōjō-ji Temple in Tokyo, with the Tokyo Tower looming in the background. The apps: I also asked Keith to share a few things he's into right now. Here's what he said: Here's what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you're into right now as well! Email installer@ with your recommendations for anything and everything, and we'll feature some of our favorites here every week. For even more great recommendations, check out the replies to this post on The Verge, this post on Threads, and this post on Bluesky. 'I use Outplay on my Apple Watch to track the soccer matches I play. It shows a heat map of my movement during a match and has metrics specific to playing soccer like sprints. It works better for me than using the built-in Apple Workout app or Strava.' – Harry Tequila 'Been playing the macOS version of Cyberpunk 2077 on a base M4 Mac Mini. I am impressed with the game and graphic quality of this version. Just hoping this is the start for more Mac-native versions of A & S tier games.' – penguinchiller 'I just completed the (not so) Endless Tower in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and beat Clea... on an MSI Claw 8 with an Intel chip! Didn't expect that after panning the first Claw. It's the only handheld I've really enjoyed this game on so far!' – Sean 'I've become obsessed with the Twos app and using it constantly. Highly recommend!' – Rich 'After steadfastly avoiding it because of its difficulty, I recently purchased and have been dying over and over again in Returnal. The environment really does feel like a hostile alien planet, and with headphones it feels like I can hear every drop of rain. And yeah, it's really difficult.' – Aram 'Been playing Lushfoil Photography Sim and it is so relaxing and lovely.' – Allison 'I've been binging CityNerd on YouTube. The channel discusses cities, transportation, urban design, walkability, etc. Good stuff.' – low_light_mixes Last week, I included a tidbit from a reader who has been playing Dance Dance Revolution recently. As someone who played a lot of DDR when I was a kid ('Butterfly,' anyone?), I was curious to learn more about how he does it. Here's some of what the reader, Tom, told me — he also pointed me to a starter guide on Reddit: 'I'll start with acknowledging I am fully not an expert in the scene, but spent a lot of time in the local arcade and at home playing on a PS2 when I was growing up. 'I grabbed the Deluxe 1-inch thick foam pad from along with the extension cord and the preloaded Stepmania Flash drive. Stepmania is the open-source clone of DDR. People make their own stepcharts (the arrows that scroll up during a song) and make custom songs that you can download and load in, as well as songs from the actual DDR games. 'Someone who is really into playing may want to eventually invest in a metal pad, like what's in the arcades. They're super sturdy and will last for years of use, whereas soft mats could potentially tear over time. There are many manufacturers out there, and the price range is usually from $400 and up for the metal pads. People even buy old arcade cabinets for thousands of dollars and have them in their home.' Thanks, Tom! See you next week, everyone! Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

GWM teases Ferrari-fighting supercar
GWM is set to unveil its first supercar as it looks to muscle in on Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren turf. Company chairman Wei Jiajun posted an image of what appears to be a low-slung, two-door sports car on social media to celebrate the automaker's 35th anniversary. The vehicle under a silk cover sits below the waist height of the executives surrounding it, with a low bonnet and arching rear silhouette suggesting it has a mid-mounted powertrain. To be launched under a new 'super luxury' sub-brand called Confidence Auto, development of a GWM supercar was confirmed by GWM chief technology officer Wu Huixiao earlier this year. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. The confirmation came with the bold promise it would be better than the Ferrari SF90, the Italian brand's first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) supercar. In Australia, the SF90 has a list price of $846,888, meaning a price tag of more than $1 million once on-road costs are added. Car News China reports the GWM supercar will be priced at $US140,000 ($A211,600), to be cheaper than both the SF90 and the $A398,975 Yangwang U9 electric supercar made by rival BYD. The flagship Yangwang – a brand under consideration for Australia – uses four electric motors to give the electric U9 a 960kW output with a 2.36-second 0-100km/h claim and top speed of 309km/h. It's not the only Chinese supercar, with GAC's Hyptec brand offering the SSR with a 900kW/1230Nm tri-motor electric powertrain that gives it a claimed 0-100km/h time of as low as 1.9 seconds. ABOVE: Hyptec SSR, Yangwang U9 Ferrari's SF90 uses a mid-mounted 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a trio of electric motors to produce 735kW/800Nm, enabling a 2.5-second 0-100km/h time and 340km/h top speed. GWM showed off a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine of its own earlier this year, developed entirely in-house and designed as part of a PHEV powertrain. The V8 was originally destined for a large pickup truck to compete with the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado and Ram 1500 in the US. Those plans have been put on hold given the import tariffs introduced on Chinese-made vehicles by US President Donald Trump. While GWM has previously suggested the engine's physical dimensions ruled it out for the supercar, it could be repurposed given the idling of the V8 US truck project. GWM International vice-president James Yang told Australia media in Shanghai earlier this year the new V8 was under consideration for several models to be sold in China and export markets, including Australia. 'For the past three-four years we have been working on this V8, including lab as well as real-world testing,' said Mr Wang. Mr Wang also suggested the V8 is under consideration for GWM models, including the Tank 300 off-roader.

Great Wall Motor's first supercar to have a 4.0L V8 plug-in hybrid?
GREAT WALL MOTOR (GWM) has officially revealed a glimpse of its first-ever supercar, marking a bold entry into the high-performance automotive segment. Unveiled by Chairman Wei Jianjun on the company's 35th anniversary, the yet-to-be-named model is set to feature a self-developed 4.0-litre V8 engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system, positioning it as a formidable contender against BYD's all-electric Yangwang U9. The teaser image, shared on Wei Jianjun's official Weibo account, showcases the prototype cloaked in a black film, with the GWM chairman and company executives gathered around it. Though heavily covered, the car's long proportions, sloped bonnet, and muscular rear haunches suggest a mid- or rear-mounted engine layout. Prominent air intakes situated in front of the rear fenders reinforce expectations of a performance-focused design. The only difference between the U9 and this is that this does not feature the huge swan neck spoiler. The supercar has been in development for several years, with reports tracing its origins back to 2021. GWM formally committed to the project in January 2025, during its general meeting, which also marked the initiation of a new luxury division internally codenamed 'BG'. That same month, the company filed a new trademark, '自信汽车' (Zixin Qiche or 'Confidence Auto'), with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), signalling a new direction under a premium sub-brand. Further confirmation of the project came in April 2025, when GWM's Chief Technology Officer, Wu Huixiao, disclosed that the company had been consistently developing the supercar for five years. She noted that a significant portion of that time was devoted to balancing engineering ambition with cost control, an indication of the company's strategic planning to ensure feasibility without compromising on performance or innovation. The powertrain at the heart of this supercar is GWM's proprietary 4.0-litre V8 engine. While detailed performance specifications remain undisclosed, the V8 will be paired with an electric component as part of a plug-in hybrid setup, offering both high output and extended efficiency, in line with the latest trends in hybrid supercar engineering. Though GWM has yet to release full details, the vehicle is expected to enter the Chinese domestic market at a price exceeding one million yuan. This places it directly in competition with the BYD Yangwang U9, which has garnered attention for its quad-motor setup delivering 1,287hp and 1,680Nm of torque.
