November 23, 2025, 2:26 AM EST. Meta Hyperscape is a Meta Quest app that lets you scan real locations with headset sensors and turn them into ultra-realistic virtual environments. You can visit these worlds on a Meta Quest headset or a smartphone, moving freely around each environment. A new update lets you invite up to eight players per world, regardless of platform, by sharing a link. The worlds are rendered in real time on your device-no longer cloud-rendered-delivering smoother multiplayer experiences. Hyperscape started in beta at Meta Connect and has been ported into the Horizon Worlds Engine for easier sharing. Even without a headset, you can explore via the Horizon app on iOS/Android. Meta aims to add even more participants in future updates.

November 23, 2025, 2:24 AM EST. Apple is reportedly expanding its iPhone lineup with an iPhone 17e launching in mid-2026, bringing a notable camera upgrade to the low-cost model. The latest rumor, via analyst Jeff Pu, claims the iPhone 17e will adopt the 18MP Center Stage front camera already introduced on the main line, narrowing the gap between models. While the rear camera and Pro features like ProMotion may stay modest, the front camera upgrade could make selfies easier for all users. The device is said to keep the A19 chip and remain a budget option, reinforcing Apple's strategy of spreading its latest imaging tech across more SKUs. Expect a launch in mid-1Q26, with the usual caveats about rumors, timing, and model differentiation.

November 23, 2025, 2:22 AM EST. SpaceX confirmed that its third-gen Starship booster, Booster 18, suffered a gas-system anomaly during pre-proof testing. There was no propellant and no engines installed, and no injuries were reported. SpaceX will take time to investigate the cause. The explosive gas release appeared to blow out the bottom half of the booster and was captured in photos and livestream clips. Booster 18 is part of the Starship V3 program, SpaceX's ambitious fully reusable launcher intended for high payloads to the Moon and Mars. The project has logged 11 successful launches and five explosions during testing to date; the company continues testing toward lower costs and higher reuse as it pursues its long-term space goals.

November 23, 2025, 2:20 AM EST. Nokia unveiled plans to invest about $4 billion in the United States to expand R&D and manufacturing for AI-ready mobile, fixed, IP, optical, and data center networking technologies, in partnership with the Trump administration. The move builds on a prior $2.3 billion U.S. investment linked to Infinera, and follows Infinera's own $456 million investment in two U.S. manufacturing facilities with CHIPS Act incentives. Nokia says roughly $3.5 billion will fund U.S. R&D across mobile, fixed access, IP, optical, data center networking, and defense solutions, anchored by its Nokia Bell Labs legacy. About $500 million of capital expenditures will target manufacturing and R&D in Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The plan aims to strengthen Nokia's AI-optimized networking offerings, including automation, quantum-safe networks, semiconductor manufacturing, testing, packaging, and advanced materials science.
