Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 143, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, new tech season is here, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)
This week, I’ve been devouring every iPhone Duo video I can find, clicking on the wonderful websites nominated for this year’s Tiny Awards, catching up on the excellent Onimusha: Way of the Sword, reading Wildwood ahead of the upcoming movie, watching the new Taskmaster series, coming to grips with Link’s new look in the Ocarina of Time remake, and fixing the flat tire on my toddler’s stroller. I’m very proud of that last one.
I also have for you new iPhones, Meta’s AI agent, revived Sony headphones, and more. It’s good to be back after a week off.
