December 8, 2025, 3:06 AM EST. Meta is delaying its next-generation mixed-reality glasses to 2027, shifting the roadmap to give teams more time to get the details right. Internal memos viewed by Business Insider show the product, code-named Phoenix, now targets the first half of 2027 instead of 2026, with a limited edition Malibu 2 wearable rumored for 2026 and a major upgrade to the Quest headset on the horizon. The move comes amid leadership changes at Reality Labs and the arrival of former Apple designers Alan Dye and Billy Sorrentino, who are tasked with a new design lab and a revised UX. Meta emphasizes not compromising on a polished, reliable experience as it competes in the crowded smart glasses and XR space, aiming to improve unit economics with the new hardware.

December 8, 2025, 3:04 AM EST. Night sky watchers are spotting groups of satellites known as Starlink trains after SpaceX launches. WTOP's space expert explains what you're seeing: a lineup of satellites deployed into orbit to provide low-cost internet. There are more than 11,000 active satellites worldwide, with Starlink accounting for a large share-over 8,000 in orbit today. After a Falcon 9 launch, these satellites appear as a glowing trail moving across the sky, sometimes with dozens visible at once. Smartphone apps can help you track them. SpaceX plans to expand to tens of thousands more, making such sightings more common. For verification, visit the tracking website cited by WTOP and consult the expert broadcast.

December 8, 2025, 3:02 AM EST. Huawei's Mate 80 lineup is reportedly the fastest-selling flagship in the brand's history, with around 400,000 units moved in just 10 days. Sales data from RDObservation suggests the Mate 80 series reached about 376,600 units in a week, even topping the iPhone 17 Pro shipments in China for the first time in years. The four-model family centers on the new infinity design, while flagship specs highlight 8000 nits peak brightness, HarmonyOS 6, the Kirin 5G 9030 Pro chip, and a top-tier imaging system with a second-generation multispectral camera. Analysts expect the Mate 80 to approach the 20 million shipments milestone, with the vanilla variant currently leading demand among the lineup.

December 8, 2025, 2:50 AM EST. The AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $230 on Amazon, down from the September release. The premium earbuds feature Apple's H2 chip, improved Active Noise Cancellation, and new foam-infused ear tips for better passive isolation. Notable additions include heart-rate sensing and Live Translation, enabling in-ear translation across multiple languages on compatible devices. Engadget gave the model a strong score (90/100), praising its quieter mics and computational audio that silence more background noise. This deal highlights the best AirPods yet, combining improved battery life, sound quality, and practical features at a discounted price.

December 8, 2025, 2:48 AM EST. AI researchers are pursuing world models that generate immersive, fully simulated 3D environments. These systems aim to let users explore worlds with inhabitants and physics that respond to input. There are two approaches: dynamic, on-the-fly generation that creates visuals and sounds in real time, and a prompt-to-persistent-asset method that produces reusable geometries, assets, and physics metadata. Each has tradeoffs: real-time generation offers flexible, unique experiences but demands heavy compute, while asset pipelines enable easier integration with existing tools. Major players like Google with Genie 3 are pushing this work, signaling potential impacts across engineering, architecture, robotics, and medicine by speeding prototyping, testing, and training in realistic simulations.
