The new AirTag that Apple unveiled today features a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, enabling the Precision Finding feature to work up to 50% farther away from an item compared to the previous AirTag, according to Apple. However, you need a compatible iPhone model in order to take advantage of this improvement. The improved Precision Finding requires one of these iPhone models: iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 17 iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Max iPhone Air Precision Finding at longer distances is limited to the iPhone models listed above because both the AirTag and the iPhone need Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which was introduced starting with the iPhone 15 series. Note that the lower-end iPhone 16e does not have a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. The new AirTag also has an upgraded Bluetooth chip for improved overall range outside of Precision Finding mode, with an iPhone 11 or newer. The new AirTag is available to order on Apple.com and in the Apple Store app starting today, and it will be available at Apple Store locations later this week. In the U.S., pricing remains set at $29 for one AirTag and at $99 for four.

Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Publisher: Capcom Developer: Capcom Release: February 27, 2026 Rating: Mature Nearly 30 years ago, a rookie cop named Leon S. Kennedy exited a vehicle and stumbled into a labyrinthine police department within Raccoon City, a metropolis in the process of being overrun by a horrific virus. In the present day, I sit within an unassuming office building in Los Angeles, watching a much older Leon do almost the same thing in Resident Evil Requiem. His hair’s longer, his sculpted jaw shaded by the remnants of an early morning shave, his jacket more stylish; he exits not a police car, but a custom Porsche this time around, and once more stumbles into a labyrinthine building. It’s not long before a mysterious virus turns humans into zombies, and the hallways of this quiet building, a therapeutic care medical facility, echo with painful groans, stumbling bodies, and a familiar chaos Leon was practically born for. I dispatch a few zombies before one rushes me with a chainsaw. I dodge and riddle its head with bullets. The chainsaw falls to the ground and begins spinning wildly, like it has a mind of its own. Nearby zombies walk into its path, losing legs in the process, blood painting the surrounding walls, fake plants, and expensive office chairs. As I approach the weapon, I take damage too before picking it up. Finally, Leon’s got a chainsaw. The chainsaw rips mercilessly through zombies before its use is depleted and left buzzing in the chest of what used to be a doctor. It’s exhilarating, both diegetically and as a fan of the series who’s been terrorized by this machine’s rapid-spin teeth many, many times. During this preview, I play as Leon for an hour and control the game’s other protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, for two. Everything I see, hear, and feel while playing as Leon speaks to the final hours of Resident Evil 4, specifically on The Island, when confidence built up over the game’s prior eight or so hours, combined with the weaponry on hand, allows you to feel like a blonde killing machine. Though Requiem’s Leon is much older, that killing machine is still ready at a moment’s notice – you need only to prime its engine with a threat and pull a cord, like the very chainsaw I just used to eviscerate the undead corpses of this facility’s patients and employees. Playing as Leon in Requiem during this specific preview is so clearly meant to provide the feeling of control and power that Grace’s sections strip away in favor of methodical exploration and terror. Leon is not concerned with finding every green herb and box of ammo here. Though I don’t know the details, he’s on a mission and deftly handles any obstacle before him with speed, cunning, bullets, and a nasty roundhouse kick. Compared to Grace, Leon’s movement feels like a sprint. I worry little about the room full of zombies, or the hulking, pus-filled monstrosity squeezing through attic hallways later in the preview, and what they can do to my health. I kill and kill and kill, and it feels good. It’s the adrenaline I need before my two hours (and after) with Grace in this very same medical facility. Separated from Leon, Grace finds herself in a similarly nostalgic and familiar situation. For some ungodly reason, this medical facility uses gems like quartz, exceedingly advanced levels of security, and old, musty hallways to create a maze-like puzzle. I can imagine employees spending hours (rightfully) complaining about this layout after work over a beer or two. Why does Grace need to find mysterious jewels, security bracelets, cast-iron keys, and more to get around this facility? Why are these items mystifyingly placed in puzzle boxes that require me to understand ritualistic poems and observe faded photographs for clues? Why, because the Raccoon City Police Station in Resident Evil 2 did. Capcom is not trying to hide what Grace’s section is meant to emulate. It isn’t the aforementioned police station, but, like… it is. And Grace plays like 1998’s (or 2019’s) Leon, too, boldly trying to put aside fears to confront zombies that stand before her and some key items she needs. After blitzing through Leon’s section in third-person, I go first-person for Grace’s section, adding some Resident Evil 7-inspired flair to this horror experience. I pass through a kitchen where a rotten behemoth of a man chops meat, scanning the room and its surrounding hallways for signs of life (presumably also to be chopped). It’s unnerving in first-person, just as it was cowering through the Baker family’s demented dinner party. Requiem plays its greatest hits here as I kill a zombie with the very last bullet in my inventory, as I reach the next typewriter to save at, as I open another drawer and locker and cabinet to find something, anything that will help me survive this god-awful night. It’s not all familiar tricks here, though. A new crafting system in the form of blood synthesis allows me to make use of the zombies I mar as I can now collect their ichor in an upgradable tube. I can combine it with ammunition, herbs, and more to create powerful healing vaccines and one-shot-one-kill bullets, among other things. It’s a fun addition to Resident Evil’s inventory resume, and makes me think twice before sprinting past a zombie to advance – what could its blood do for me? I can even craft a special inhibitor that Grace plunges into the backs of unaware zombies to prevent them from metastasizing into an unholy tumor of blood, muscle, and guts, a second life of sorts for zombies already brought to the ground by my bullets. There are some surprising, interesting, and strange (complementary) things happening narratively, but I won’t spoil them here. I’m both excited about what I see play out on that front and nervous – what’s interesting and strange in the first halves of many Resident Evil games morphs into something weaker in the second half. I hope the other hours of Requiem match the adrenaline and horror I felt in this preview’s sections.

When Anthropic announced Monday that it was embedding nine workplace applications directly inside Claude, transforming its AI chatbot into what I earlier described as a " workplace command center ," Asana was among the headliners. But while the broader launch signals a new era of AI-native productivity tools, Asana's participation reflects a deeper strategic bet — one that positions the project management company not as an AI competitor, but as the essential context layer that makes any AI model more useful. In an exclusive interview with VentureBeat, Arnab Bose , Asana's Chief Product Officer, explained the thinking behind the partnership and why the company chose to embrace external AI providers rather than build proprietary models. "The AI landscape is advancing at a breakneck pace," Bose said. "We believe our customers are best served when they have access to the latest, most powerful reasoning capabilities from best-in-class providers like Anthropic, rather than being locked into a single, proprietary model that may fall behind quickly." The integration arrives at a pivotal moment for Asana: the company is navigating a leadership transition after co-founder Dustin Moskovitz's retirement , competing against rivals racing to embed AI into productivity software, and betting that its proprietary "Work Graph" — the company's mapping of how tasks, people, and goals connect inside organizations — can differentiate it in an increasingly crowded market. Asana's chief product officer argues that raw AI power matters less than business context The strategic logic Bose outlined goes beyond simply offering Claude users another tool to connect. At its core, Asana is making a bet about where value will accrue in the AI era — and the company believes context will matter more than raw model capability. "An LLM in isolation is context-starved," Bose told VentureBeat. "It knows how to write, but it doesn't know your business—your goals, your knowledge, your specific approvals, or your historical relationships. Asana provides the scaffolding—the Work Graph data model—that grounds those external models in the reality of how your company actually operates." It's a framing that positions Asana as essential infrastructure rather than a replaceable application. If Bose is right, then even as AI models from Anthropic , OpenAI , and Google grow more powerful, they will remain fundamentally limited without deep integration into how organizations actually function. "Most errors happen because models are context-starved," Bose said. "Asana solves this with context that is unique to each business." The argument has implications beyond Asana . It suggests a future where AI capability becomes increasingly commoditized, while the companies that control rich organizational data — project histories, approval workflows, team relationships — become the essential partners that make AI useful in enterprise settings. The integration transforms natural language conversations into structured project plans In practice, the Claude integration allows users to create and manage Asana projects entirely through natural conversation. When a user connects their Asana account via OAuth authentication, Claude gains the ability to read project data, create new tasks, and build entire project structures based on natural language instructions. A marketing team discussing a product launch in Claude can simply say: "Create a Q2 product launch project with phases for creative development, partner outreach, press kit, and launch day." Claude then generates the project structure, complete with sections and tasks, which the user can review before pushing it live to Asana. "When you use Claude to explore a new initiative, like brainstorming a campaign structure, outlining a project plan, or mapping out a cross-functional launch, you can turn that thinking into real, structured work in Asana without breaking your flow," the company said in its press release announcing the integration. The synchronization runs in real time. Changes made through Claude appear immediately in Asana, and status updates from Asana can be pulled into Claude conversations for on-the-fly reporting. Users can ask questions like "What's behind schedule in our marketing campaigns right now?" and receive answers grounded in their actual project data. Human approval remains mandatory before Claude can create or modify any work in Asana One of the key design decisions in the integration is a strict requirement for human oversight. Bose emphasized that Claude cannot act autonomously within Asana — every consequential action requires explicit user approval. "Our architecture follows a strict human-in-the-loop philosophy where AI actions—from drafting project plans to summarizing risks—has a human in the loop to course correct, check quality, and ultimately give final sign-off when working with AI," Bose told VentureBeat. "Users review and approve before tasks are created and projects are built." When asked whether Claude could potentially access projects or tasks that a user wouldn't normally have permission to see, Bose was direct: "No. Users need to authenticate via OAuth with their Asana credentials to use this integration, and Claude respects their permissions and access." The approach is an increasingly common pattern in enterprise AI — giving artificial intelligence significant capabilities while maintaining human control over final decisions. It addresses one of the core anxieties around AI in workplace settings: the fear that automated systems will make mistakes that propagate through organizations before anyone notices. When asked about audit capabilities for enterprise administrators, Bose said admins can monitor usage information about Claude in Asana's Admin App Management portal, with deeper audit log visibility potentially coming based on customer feedback. Asana is building integrations with ChatGPT and Google Gemini to avoid platform lock-in Notably, Asana is not betting exclusively on Claude. Bose emphasized the company's commitment to working with multiple AI providers, positioning Asana as a neutral platform that works with whichever AI systems its customers prefer. "Our philosophy is to meet users where they want to work," Bose said. "We are building the work platform for today and the future which means being the best front-end for any vendor's agents." He confirmed that Asana offers "foundational connectors" with both ChatGPT and Google Gemini and is working to deepen those integrations. The company is also committed to emerging industry standards for AI agent interoperability, including the Agent-to-Agent protocol and MCP . "We want to be the best front-end for agents from any vendor," Bose said, describing a vision where Asana becomes the coordination layer through which various AI systems — whether from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or others — can operate within enterprise workflows. This multi-provider approach differs from companies that have tied themselves exclusively to a single AI partner. It reflects both a pragmatic recognition that the AI landscape remains volatile and a strategic bet that Asana's value lies in its data and workflow capabilities rather than any particular AI model. The announcement comes as Asana navigates a major leadership transition The Claude integration arrives as Asana navigates significant organizational change. Dustin Moskovitz, the company's co-founder and longtime CEO, retired earlier this year after announcing his departure during Asana's fourth-quarter earnings report in March . Moskovitz's departure triggered immediate market reaction, with Asana's stock dropping more than 25 percent in after-hours trading following the announcement. The company subsequently hired Dan Rogers — formerly CEO of software startup LaunchDarkly and previously president of Rubrik and marketing chief at ServiceNow — to take over as chief executive. Rogers started in July, with Moskovitz transitioning to the role of board chairman. In a recent appearance on the Stratechery podcast , Moskovitz reflected candidly on his tenure. "I don't like to manage teams, and it wasn't my intention when we started Asana," he said. "I'd intended to be more of a independent or head of engineering or something again. Then one thing led to another and I was CEO for 13 years and I just found it quite exhausting." Moskovitz — who co-founded Facebook alongside Mark Zuckerberg before leaving to start Asana in 2008 — retains approximately 39 percent of outstanding Asana shares. He said he plans to focus more on his philanthropic endeavors, including Good Ventures and Open Philanthropy, which lists "potential risks from advanced AI" among its focus areas. Bose envisions AI handling orchestration while humans retain control over strategic decisions When asked about the long-term trajectory of AI in Asana, Bose outlined a vision that balances automation with human judgment — what he described as a "self-driving" organization where humans nonetheless remain at the wheel. "Our vision is for customers to work however suits them best, alongside AI agents that actually have the context to be helpful and productive," he said. "But the goal is not for agents to make important decisions on their own. That is where humans provide value: having the judgment, relationships, and nuance to make complex decisions." He described a future in which AI handles "orchestration" — spotting patterns, flagging risks, managing follow-ups — while humans retain authority over strategy and trade-offs. As an example, Bose pointed to Asana's AI Teammates feature, which the company introduced in beta last year. "Asana AI Teammates — built on the Work Graph, so they understand who is doing what, by when, and why — can flag that three teams are behind on dependencies for a launch and draft a mitigation plan," Bose said. "But a human reviews it, adjusts based on business priorities, and makes the call on what happens next." The question is whether that boundary will hold as AI capabilities advance. Anthropic and OpenAI are both racing to build more capable "agentic" systems that can execute multi-step tasks with less human oversight. If those systems become reliable enough, the human-in-the-loop requirement may shift from necessity to preference — a transition Asana appears to be preparing for, even as it emphasizes human control today. How to access the Asana integration in Claude The Asana integration in Claude is available immediately to all Asana customers who have a paid Claude subscription. Users can connect Asana through Claude's app directory or request that their administrator enable the integration for their workspace. The interactive app feature is available on Claude's web and desktop applications for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. Once connected, users can mention Asana in any Claude conversation to start creating projects, assigning tasks, or pulling status updates from their existing work.

Apple considered introducing a new Apple Intelligence feature that would dynamically re-arrange apps on the Home Screen . The detail emerged in a report last week from The Information , which said that subordinates of software chief Craig Federighi approached him with proposals for an AI-powered iPhone ‌Home Screen‌. The feature would dynamically change the locations of apps on the ‌Home Screen‌ according to users' needs. Federighi reportedly rejected the idea, believing that it would disorient users, many of whom rely on knowing the fixed location of apps on their ‌Home Screen‌ for quick access. With iOS 26 , Apple prioritized new ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features that included Live Translation, more powerful Visual Intelligence , ChatGPT image generation in Image Playground , and actions in Shortcuts. Broader and more capable ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features are expected to arrive later this year with iOS 27, such as a Siri chatbot powered by Google Gemini. The rest of The Information 's report focused on how Apple restructured its artificial intelligence strategy under Federighi, accelerating plans to overhaul Siri by relying on external AI models after years of internal delays and organizational friction.
