We got to test drive Antigravity's A1 drone, billed as the world's first drone built to capture 360-degree video.

• A collection of new leaked DJI Mini 5 Pro photos has been released
• “C0” sticker suggests it will be the first sub-249g drone with a 1-inch sensor
• Battery appears to be the same as that used by DJI Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro

A new set of leaked photos of the DJI Mini 5 Pro have arrived, bringing with them a whole heap of new information about the upcoming ultra-lightweight drone.

Following on from the leaked render and specs that emerged earlier this month, this set of photos, shared on X (formerly Twitter) and DroneXL by trusted drone tipster Jasper Ellens, appear to show the actual drone itself from a variety of angles.

Some exclusive new pictures from my friends today. Revealing multiple secrets on the #Mini5Pro. It seems DJI managed to pull off the unthinkable: a sub 249 gram #C0 consumer 1 inch camera drone. They actually made it happen! Cheers Jasperhttps://t.co/OOUwzGuLGCAugust 13, 2025

These new views of the DJI Mini 5 Pro appear to reveal a few key details about the drone, such as the fact that it’ll use the exact same batteries as the Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro – great news for people who already own one or both of those models.

More exciting, though, is the presence of a “C0” class sticker on the bottom of the drone. Assuming this is real, it’s confirmation that the Mini 5 Pro will still weigh less than 250g.

While this couldn’t be called surprising news – after all, sub-250g weight has long been one of the key selling points of the Mini series – it’s great to see that the Mini 5 Pro’s purported new features like LiDAR and a camera with a 1-inch sensor haven’t tipped it into the C1 class.

Personally, I see getting a 1-inch sensor on a sub-250g drone as a huge achievement for DJI; having DJI Air-levels of imaging performance on a drone that can be flown with far less fuss, at least here in the UK where I live, makes it a truly exciting prospect.

If the leaked info turns out to be correct, I can definitely see the DJI Mini 5 Pro being my next go-to drone for day-to-day aerial photography and videography.

Secret button?

One last intriguing detail from the new leaks is the presence of what looks like a small button on the side of the drone.

What this might do remains a mystery, but one potential theory is that it will launch the drone when there’s no controller present. This could give it similar selfie shooting capabilities to the DJI Flip or DJI Neo, allowing users to unfold it, launch it from their hand to take a quick clip or photo before having it return automatically – no controller or even smartphone required.

With these latest pieces of info added to what we’ve already heard, we can now build up a pretty clear image of how the Mini 5 Pro might look spec-wise.

• DJI Mini 5 Pro rumored specs
• 1-inch image sensor supporting up to 4K 120fps video
• 24mm lens with f/1.8 aperture
• 48mm medium telephoto shooting mode
• Gimbal supporting 225º movement, including vertical shooting
• Forward-facing LiDAR and omnidirectional infrared vision sensors
• 36-minute battery life

That’s an impressive set of specs for a small folding drone, and I’m very much looking forward to getting confirmation when DJI finally gets around to officially launching the Mini 5 Pro.

Rumor has it this will be happening in September 2025, which is getting nearer and nearer. Check back for more news in the coming weeks.

• Football Manager 26 has been announced with a Match Day teaser trailer
• The footage provides our first look at the game running on the Unity engine
• Football Manager 26's announcement comes after the cancellation of Football Manager 25

Sega and Sports Interactive have unveiled the first look at Football Manager 26, showcasing the game running on the Unity engine.

Following the cancellation of Football Manager 25, the sports series has made a surprise return with the announcement of Football Manager 26 in a short trailer teasing a 'Match Day first look' coming soon.

The trailer features live-action scenes filmed of the Match Day experience through the lens of the official Premier League license, but also provides a first look at some rendered footage running on the Unity engine.

However, the video does note that "actual game footage - not final".

In a press release, Sega said, "FM26 promises to take players on a journey to define their footballing destiny with our most immersive and visually rich Football Manager experience yet. The potential for storytelling is redefined by taking players closer to the heart of the beautiful game."

A website is also live, displaying the announcement trailer and text that reads, "Back. Better. Building for the season ahead. FM26 Match Day First Look. Coming Soon."

There's no release date just yet, but Sega has previously revealed in its internal sales showing its launch roadmap that it has plans to release FM26 in Fall 2025.

Understandably, fans of the series are excited about the announcement, as evident by the replies to the X / Twitter post, now that there's confirmation that FM26 hasn't been canned, just like FM25.

Football Manager 25 was canceled in February after it was delayed twice, with Sports Interactive stating that it "hasn't achieved what we set out to do."

At the time, the developer said it couldn't release the game in its current state and would "shift our focus to the next release."

• YouTube has officially rolled out age verification checks to US users
• The service will use AI to determine your age
• If it detects you're under 18, you'll have to verify your age by submitting a credit card or government ID

YouTube has officially launched its AI-based age checks in the US, following the introduction of online age verification checks in the UK, which aim to shield young people from viewing adult content. Since its widespread rollout came into effect, it’s been met with a slew of backlash, and users are furious.

The main reason why users are concerned with YouTube’s new age check process is down to the age-estimation model itself, which the company announced will "use AI to interpret a variety of signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18". But how will it work?

YouTube’s AI model will use ‘signals’ to detect whether a user is under or over the age of 18, which include the longevity of the account, the types of videos a user searches for, and the categories of videos they’ve already watched.

If YouTube detects you’re underage, it will restrict your account by disabling personalized advertising, turning on digital wellbeing tools, and limiting repetitive views of some kinds of content, despite the age you’ve set on your account. If you’re falsely estimated to be under 18, you’ll have to verify your age by submitting a credit card or government ID.

YouTube hasn't stated how this AI model will receive data from those trying to verify their age, nor how the data will be stored, which has sparked fears of possible data leaks.

Widespread frustration

Although it’s early days into YouTube’s new AI age checks, users are already taking measures to stop them. On Tuesday, a Change.org petition was published and has grown exponentially, reaching over 90,000 signatures so far.

The petition reads "this isn’t just about age restriction – it’s about mass surveillance and data control", but that’s not the only reason why users are angry. One Reddit post has sparked widespread conversation about YouTube’s new age checks, garnering 1.8k responses.

Oh my GOD, it's happening from r/youtube

Aside from data control concerns, the question as to whether YouTube is a host for ‘real’ adult content is another conversation furious users are having (see below). This was also raised when Spotify introduced its face-scanning age checks in the UK, another service that - despite not hosting X-rated content - hosts podcasts that may be deemed of mature nature.

Comment from r/youtube

While YouTube is very much on it with flagging adult-leaning content, this can affect videos such as movie and game trailers, which are watched by users of all ages. With the new age checks in place, some content in this category won’t be available to watch if you haven’t logged in, as one user has shared.

• Proton said the company has begun moving some of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland for fear of the new proposed surveillance law
• Lumo, the company's newly launched privacy-first AI chatbot, is the first product to move
• An amendment to the current surveillance law would require VPNs and messaging apps to identify and retain user data

Proton has confirmed the company has begun moving out of Switzerland due to "legal uncertainty" over the newly proposed surveillance law.

Proton's newly launched privacy-first AI chatbot, Lumo, has become the first product to change home yet, "investing in Europe does not equate to leaving Switzerland," a company spokesperson told TechRadar, amid rumors it's exiting the country for good.

The firm behind one of the best VPN and encrypted email services has been very critical of the Swiss government’s proposed amendment of its surveillance law since the beginning, already sharing plans to quit Switzerland back in May.

If it passes, the Ordinance on the Surveillance of Correspondence by Post and Telecommunications (OSCPT) will introduce new obligations for virtual private networks (VPNs), messaging apps, and social networks. These measures include mandatory user identification and data retention of up to six months for all services with at least 5,000 users. Providers will also be required to decrypt the communication upon the authorities' request should they own encryption keys.

Lumo – the first to go

(Image credit: Proton)

Proton launched its ChatGPT competitor, Lumo, in July 2025, to give its users an alternative to Big Tech solutions that truly protect their privacy.

In a blog post about the launch, Proton's Head of Anti-Abuse and Account Security, Eamonn Maguire, explains that the company has decided to invest outside Switzerland for fear of the looming legal changes.

He wrote: "Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance – proposals that have been outlawed in the EU – Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move."

Talking to a Swiss publication after the launch, Proton's CEO Andy Yen confirmed that the proposed changes to the Swiss surveillance law made the company opt for Germany instead to host Lumo's servers. Proton has also confirmed it's also developing facilities in Norway.

While the company did not specify that Germany would become the new home of the majority of its infrastructure, Proton confirmed to TechRadar that investing in Europe doesn't equate to leaving Switzerland.

It's worth noting, however, that being based in the EU could make Proton, and similar companies, vulnerable to wider data retention or scanning obligations if proposals like the so-called ProtectEU or Chat Control were to pass.

We approached Proton for clarification on this point, but are still waiting for a reply at the time of publication.

What's next for the Swiss tech privacy industry?

Proton isn't the only provider that has been vocal against what critics have deemed Switzerland's "war against online anonymity."

Another VPN provider, NymVPN, confirmed back in May its intentions to leave Switzerland if the new surveillance rules are enforced.

Talking to TechRadar, Nym's co-founder and COO, Alexis Roussel, shares support for Proton's decision to find a new home for its private AI chatbot.

He said, "Proton is in a position that they are expanding, so it totally makes sense. You cannot invest in privacy in Switzerland right now."

Roussel also confirmed to TechRadar that the company has already developed a strategy to move its VPN activities outside Switzerland and the EU. Yet, this remains the last resort.

He also explains that the fact that Nym works on a decentralised infrastructure means that it won't be affected by the encryption provision, as the company doesn't hold any encryption keys.

"Depending on how they modify things within the law, this will affect our decision to move. But we would like to resist the ordinance until the end and go to the tribunal," said Roussel.

As reported by Cyberinsider, also secure and private messaging app Session said that, "while keeping a close eye on the situation," its decentralized structure means its services are less vulnerable to the changes.

• The iPhone 17 Pro will reportedly cost $50 more than the iPhone 16 Pro
• However, it's also said to start with twice as much storage
• Based on this and other leaks, we've predicted pricing for every iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max configuration

It’s now looking very likely that the iPhone 17 series – and in particular the iPhone 17 Pro – will cost more than the iPhone 16 series, with the latest leak pointing to a $50 price increase for the iPhone 17 Pro.

This tip comes from leaker Instant Digital (via MacRumors), and they’ve actually made the same iPhone 17 Pro price rise claim before. So, they're just reiterating it here, but this shows that they’re still confident in its accuracy. It’s not all bad news, either, as Instant Digital additionally states that there won’t be a 128GB model, so you’ll be getting 256GB for your money instead.

At $50 more than the current 128GB iPhone 16 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro would start at $1,049, but again, that’s with 256GB of storage, and since the 256GB iPhone 16 Pro costs $1,099, that could actually be seen as a price decrease for the iPhone 17 Pro – at least for anyone who wants 256GB.

Predicting the other prices

This gives us some indication of what the other models and configurations might cost, but the same source (and others) have previously said to expect a $50 price increase across the board.

In which case, assuming the iPhone 17 Pro is the only phone to be getting a storage bump, prices might look like what you can see in the chart below.

Note that we haven’t included the iPhone 17 Air since this is a totally new model, so there’s no price history to work with. Mind you, there's a good chance that it'll have a similar price to the iPhone 16 Plus – or perhaps cost $50 more, in line with what we’re hearing about the other iPhone 17 models.

In any case, we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt, but with Trump’s tariffs increasing production costs, it seems likely that the iPhone 17 series will cost more than the current models anyway.

We should find out in September, with leaks suggesting September 9 could be the date when Apple will announce the iPhone 17 series.

• Razer's Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC has been released, an evolution of the Wolverine V3 Pro controller
• The controller features Razer’s 8000 Hz HyperPolling tech, which is also offered in Razer's impressive Viper 8K gaming mouse, for the best input response
• A Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC is also available for purchase

Razer has announced the launch of its Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC, a next-generation controller built specifically for PC gaming and featuring new improvements.

As the next evolution of the Wolverine V3 Pro controller, this latest model features Razer’s 8000 Hz HyperPolling technology for both wired and wireless gaming, which should offer an impressive "near-instantaneous" input response for first-person shooter (FPS) gaming.

This tech was also present in Razer's excellent Viper 8K gaming mouse, one of the fastest, most responsive gaming mice TechRadar has ever seen.

The Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC also offers TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) Thumbsticks with swappable caps and provides anti-drift performance and long-lasting durability, which is a must for pinpoint accuracy in FPS games.

It's also Razer's lightest wireless esports controller to date, featuring an ergonomic shape that reduces hand fatigue during long gaming sessions, four mouse click back buttons, and two claw grip bumpers that are fully remappable, Razer Pro HyperTriggers, and more.

The controller also comes packaged with a carrying case and a 2m braided cable for portability.

"PC gamers have long demanded a controller that doesn’t compromise on speed, precision, or customization," said Nick Bourne, head of mobile and console division at Razer. "With the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC, we’ve delivered exactly that — a controller built specifically for the PC ecosystem.

"From the industry’s fastest polling rate to our lightest wireless form factor, this is the definitive device for competitive PC players who want every advantage."

Razer is also launching the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC, a wired variant offering the aforementioned features "designed for players who demand uncompromising performance and zero-latency input."

"Engineered with the same elite-level features as its wireless counterpart, the Tournament Edition delivers precision and responsiveness through a direct wired connection, making it the ideal choice for competitive gamers," Razer said.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC is now available for purchase at $199.99 / £179.99 GBP, while the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC will cost $119.99 / £99.99 GBP.

• Universal Print anywhere, or pull printing, is now generally available for Microsoft 365
• Users authenticate print jobs when they arrive at their chosen printer
• It avoids privacy blunders and waste from duplicates

Microsoft has released 'Universal Print anywhere' for all Microsoft 365 organizations at no extra cost, all in a bid to improve security by avoiding erroneous prints to wrong locations.

The company's Nishant Lakhanpal explained in a blog post that users can "print securely from any location and retrieve their documents at any printer" – a feature which has become known as 'pull print'.

It means that users will have to authorize print jobs once they arrive at their chosen printer, meaning important or private documents won't automatically print and end up in unwanted hands.

Microsoft brings pull printing to all eligible users

The feature works by sending print jobs without selecting a specific printer in advance, so documents can be retrieved from any registered corporate printer by authenticating on the device. It also saves users from having to trawl through long printer lists to find the right printer – which often leads to mistakes.

"Universal Print anywhere ensures that confidential documents are never left on printers for unauthorized viewing," Lakhanpal wrote.

Apart from the security benefits, Microsoft also notes that pull printing helps to reduce waste by avoiding duplicate printing caused by forgotten or uncollected print jobs.

"The feature is included with your existing Universal Print licensing at no additional cost," Microsoft confirmed.

Handily, Universal Print anywhere works across Windows and macOS platforms, meaning that all employees can use the functionality without being bound to Microsoft's own operating system. To participate with Universal Print anywhere, admins must register printers to the network.

Looking ahead, Microsoft has also committed to extending Universal Print anywhere to even more OEMs to ensure maximum device compatibility and support.

• Windows 10 has a new update for August
• It rolls out the offer of extended support until October 2026 to everyone
• Microsoft has also fixed a bug that caused the sign-up process to crash

Windows 10's latest update is an important one in terms of the impending End of Life for the operating system, as it rolls out the offer of extended support (beyond October 2025) to all users – and fixes a bug that meant some people weren't able to successfully sign up for said offer.

Windows Latest noticed that the August update for Windows 10 (known as KB5063709) brings in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) option for everyone.

Some folks (a minority) have already had the ESU offer – which appears in the Windows Update panel – with a previous update, but the KB5063709 patch brings it to all Windows 10 PCs ahead of the October deadline for support ending.

For some of those who have already seen the ESU option, though – which fires up an enrollment wizard that facilitates signing up – there was a frustrating bug that meant the process didn't work.

As Windows Latest points out, that wizard was crashing (either immediately, or partway through the process) for some Windows 10 users, leaving them rather bewildered as to how they were going to get their extended support sorted.

However, we're told that Microsoft has resolved this issue with the August update, just in time for the wider rollout of the ESU.

Analysis: Wizard mended

So, if you've previously tried to enroll for extended support using the ESU wizard in Windows Update but it was crashing – either becoming unresponsive, or bombing out entirely – try again after installing this new patch for Windows 10, an you should be okay, fingers crossed.

And if you've never seen the ESU offer and you were wondering where on earth it was, then check back in Windows Update after applying the August update. You should see the offer of extended support on the right-hand side of the Windows Update panel.

To remind you, there are a few choices as to how you can sign up for the ESU program, one of which is to pay $30 for the extra year of support it grants (through to October 2026). If you'd prefer to get extended support for free, you can do so using another choice, namely syncing your PC's settings to OneDrive (not your files, note – just the settings). A third option is to spend 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, if you have that many.

It's also worth remembering that you'll need a Microsoft account to sign up for the ESU program.

• Mimecast uncovers phishing campaign targeting the UK Home Office
• Accounts are being stolen through phishing emails and fake websites
• The fake sites are almost indistinguishable

A phishing campaign has been uncovered by Mimecast researchers targeting the Home Office Sponsorship Management System (SMS).

The main aim of the campaign appear to be to compromise access to accounts, which can then be sold on the dark web, extorting organizations through the theft of sensitive data, and creating fraudulent Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS).

The campaign doesn’t just affect organizations with sponsor license privileges, but threatens to undermine the entire UK immigration system.

UK Home Office at risk

The attackers begin the campaign by sending emails that closely resemble legitimate emails distributed by the Home Office, using the same branding and stylization. The emails include an urgent call to action that threatens account suspension if the user doesn’t log in.

The victims are guided to a fake login page via a captcha-gated URL that looks very similar to the legitimate URL used by the Home Office. After completing the captcha, the user lands on a cloned Home Office login page.

The only differences between the legitimate and illegitimate pages are in the form submission. The fake page directs credentials to an attacker-controlled script, where the exposed credentials can be used to log in to the victims account.

With the stolen accounts, the attackers can then create fake job offers and visa sponsorship schemes, and charge victims tens of thousands of pounds to access them.

The best protection against phishing campaigns such as this one is constant vigilance. Always double check URLs and be cautious of urgent calls to action.

A full list of the indicators from this phishing campaign can be found on the Mimecast blog.

Sure as night follows day, the pinnacle of English football is back for another jam-packed season of 380 games between August and next May. Liverpool is the club with a target on its back, as Arsenal, Chelsea and usurped champions Man City all seek a way to get their hands on the iconic Premier League trophy.

This will also be the year that the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest all try to break the domination of the top four. And for Man United and Tottenham Hotspur – who finished 15th and 17th respectively last time out – it's going to be a season of refresh and rebuild in order to propel themselves back to the top half.

For promoted Burnley, Leeds and, back in the top flight after a decade away, Sunderland, it's all about survival. While Wolves, West Ham, Fulham and a newly homes Everton will all be desperate to be dragged into a relegation dogfight.

A report from Arctic Wolf found 70% of UK&I insurance brokers are anticipating claims to increase in 2026, with a similar number (68%) predicting premium rates to rise over the same period.

The news comes as cybercriminals are using AI tools more and more to help build more sophisticated attackes, targeting company data and adding to privacy concerns.

Many companies lack cyber insurance

Arctic Wolf's data claims ransomware has now become the most common type of insurance claim globally, followed by data breaches, theft of funds and phishing.

Nearly one in five (18%) respondents' clients had experienced a cyberattack within the past month, with the average global insurance claim hovering around the $115,000 mark and large businesses claiming an average of over $812,000.

Recent UK Government analysis shows that the number of businesses experiencing a ransomware crime doubled between 2024 and 2025, with 43% of businesses having experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months.

"While the insurance industry is working with clients to improve protection, attacks are ultimately costing businesses hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage," Senior Director of Strategy for Insurance Alliances Kevin Kiser explained.

In the UK and Ireland, around one in four (23%) brokers have now negotiated pre-arranged insurance benefits for clients with cyber risk vendors, and UK&I brokers are more likely than the global average to partner with cybersecurity providers.

"As threat tactics evolve, cyber insurance is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a strategic pillar of modern risk management," Kiser added.

• Evidence of satellite location-sharing in Find Hub is spotted
• Google had previously promised the feature was on the way
• It seems you'll be able to share your location via pings every 15 minutes

Google's Find Hub is the place to go to find out where your devices and your friends and family have got to, and there's a big upgrade on the way in the form of location-sharing over satellite, for those times when you don't have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

We already knew this feature was incoming, but the Android Authority team has now seen evidence of it in the latest version of the Find Hub app for Android. That suggests we're about to see the functionality go live, though it isn't yet.

Recently rebranded from Find My Device and then Find My, the Find Hub will now be even more useful: if you should be unfortunate enough to get into trouble a long way from public Wi-Fi and network coverage, other people will still be able to find you.

As always, you'll have full control over who's able to see your location from inside the app, so it's only for those contacts you fully trust. You're able to see who you're sharing your location with and change those settings at any time, either through the Find Hub app or through Google Maps.

Based on the hidden strings found in the Find Hub code, it looks as though satellite location-sharing won't be continuous. Instead, you'll be able to ping your contacts with a location every 15 minutes, up to a certain limit that isn't yet clear – a bit like dropping a pin in an app like WhatsApp.

From the evidence here, it looks as though the sharing will be manual rather than continuous and in the background (as it usually is). You'll be kept informed of how many location pings you have remaining over a certain period.

There's still a lot we don't know, such as which Android devices this is going to be compatible with, and whether or not using it will incur a charge, but it's definitely another step in the right direction for staying safe while you're out and about.

Note that this won't be replacing the Emergency SOS feature already available on selected Android phones, which lets you get in touch with the emergency services via a satellite connection if you get into trouble, and which also includes a location-sharing element.

• Apple TV upgrade from A15 Bionic to A17 Pro
• Apple's new wireless chip in Apple TV and HomePod mini
• Could arrive any time between now and the holidays

Apple's excellent Apple TV 4K is getting a big upgrade any day now, and the second-generation HomePod mini's getting a speed bump too. That's according to the latest leaked news leaked by, er, Apple.

As AppleInsider reports, details in Apple's own code indicate that the next generation of Apple TV 4K will come with the A17 Pro chip; the current model has the A15 Bionic.

I'm using the tvOS 26 beta on my Apple TV 4K and it clearly doesn't need any more processing power to handle the new Liquid Glass interface or the games you can play on it. And that suggests that other than more efficient decoding of video and audio formats, it's going to be for Apple Intelligence.

The 2025 Apple TV 4K is likely to launch any time in the next three months, and is expected to have Apple's new wireless chip too. That would give the TV box Wi-Fi 6E support to match the current MacBooks; the 2022 model has Wi-Fi 6. And the same chip is expected to make its way into the forthcoming HomePod mini 2.

The HomePod mini has been around forever in computer years – it launched way back in 2020 – and the same report says it's getting an upgrade too. This is going to be much more minor, however, with the small speaker getting a variation of the S-series chips found inside the Apple Watch Series 9, 10 and the imminent 11.

The current HomePod mini is already S-powered but the 2025 version of the processor is likely to be significantly faster; again, the most likely beneficiary of that power is Apple Intelligence. If that means an end to the incredibly long pauses between me asking Siri to do something and Siri responding, I'll buy the new model in a heartbeat.
