The news comes from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a leaker with an inside hook into Apple’s supply chain. “Well, I checked with the Apple supply chain a few days ago.

1 week ago | digitaltrends.com | Patrick Hearn

Another day, another Half-Life 3 rumor. At this point, we don’t need to say it, but we’re going to anyway: take this with a grain of salt. According to Tyler McVicker (transcribed by Eurogamer), Half-Life 3 is “playable, end-to-end.” He recently streamed a three-hour-long Q&A session where he dropped numerous hints about the widely anticipated sequel, including the suggestion that it could be released as soon as this summer.
The iPhone 17 Air might not stack up in terms of battery life

1 week ago | digitaltrends.com | Patrick Hearn

Concerns over the iPhone 17 Air’s battery life might have been spot-on, according to a new report from The Information. Apple allegedly conducted internal tests that showed only 60 to 70 percent of iPhone 17 Air devices would make it through the day without needing a recharge, versus between 80 to 90 percent for other iPhone models. Of course, part of that is due to the design of the handset.

1 week ago | digitaltrends.com | Patrick Hearn

Garn47 is described as “an adventure game where you explore to find secrets and meet new friends,” and it just received a major overhaul with version 2.4.4, otherwise known as “The Glorgle Patch D.” Confused yet? So are we, and that’s entirely intentional. Garn47 is an odd, unsettling fever dream of a game that was originally hidden inside another game (Friday Night Funkin) that was released on Newgrounds in 2020. You can download Garn47 yourself from Itch for free.

The news that the Galaxy S25 FE is on the way isn’t really news — it’s been leaked several times before — but SamMobile has now discovered the firmware for the US variant of the phone, assuaging worries that Samsung might skip this generation.

1 week ago | digitaltrends.com | Patrick Hearn

Table of Contents Grand Theft Auto 6 now has an official release date, but unfortunately, it’s in May 2026, not fall 2025 as previously expected. It was set to be perhaps the biggest launch of the year, but Rockstar says it needs more time to make GTA 6 the best game it can be. While it’s a disappointment for fans, it’s probably the best move for the game.

1 week ago | digitaltrends.com | Patrick Hearn

At a Comicon panel in Naples, Italy, Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger creator Yuji Horii might have just said something he shouldn’t have: a Chrono Trigger remake could be in the works. According to Reddit user u/df_tarocco_1, a member of the audience at the event, “[Horii] let this information slip during an interview. The host whispered something in his ear, and he covered his mouth. The audience went crazy.”Take this report with a unhealthy portion of salt, though.
