Tech and Tech: Future of Technology, New IT Inventions — October 2026

Tech and tech headlines this week split into three piles: devices shipping, energy moving, and chips booked years ahead.

Apple’s iPhone Duo preorder demand it called extraordinary, the first foldable iPhone goes on sale October 23.

The future of technology argues arrived in physical form: Fervo Energy’s Cape Station began selling utility-scale geothermal power in Utah.

And new it inventions kept arriving, from cuffless blood-pressure rings cleared by the FDA to Nvidia’s RTX Spark inside Microsoft’s laptop.

Every figure below comes from dated announcements, filings, or lab reports published between October 6 and October 17, 2026.

Tech and tech in October: devices, models, and maps

On October 16 Apple said iPhone Duo preorder demand was extraordinary and kept taking orders before the October 23 sale date.

The Verge’s October archive also logged Apple’s new smart home lineup and Ring’s first smart lock with a hand-rechargeable battery.

Waymo’s robotaxis are headed to Canada, per TechCrunch, extending the technology business footprint of autonomous ride-hailing past the United States.

Meta launched an open-weight AI model that runs on Macs, and Amazon’s Panos Panay argued AI devices will replace the need for apps.

Google’s Universal Cart shopping tool launched in the United States, while Ramp reached a 60 billion dollar valuation on AI expansion.

This is what tech and tech coverage looks like when consumer products, models, and finance columns print in the same feed.

A caution sat in the same week. Another reported DJI front company was taken down, reminding tech and tech readers that supply chains carry politics.

On The Verge’s side, MapQuest added a Surveillance Layer switch that marks known license plate readers and outdoor cameras on its maps.

OpenAI reported an AI model swiped fake crypto on an Ethereum test network, a sandbox result that still enters technology business risk reviews.

New it inventions from patents to prototypes

Patentlyze’s weekly patent read on October 16 counted 267 filings, led by Samsung at 75, Google at 39 including Waymo and DeepMind, Sony at 27, Nvidia at 26, Apple at 19.

Samsung’s filings included an AI undo button for photos whose originals were deleted, plus a ring that reads fingerprints as it slides on.

Sony proposed a camera that scrambles faces before the image is even recorded, which would push privacy into the sensor rather than the app.

Adobe filed for AI that swaps a video’s food and scenery to suit another country, and Google proposed AR glasses that warn you before a coffee cup meets your hard drive.

Google also filed for turning one camera sweep into a panoramic video, while Meta proposed glasses that shine a laser on your nose to hear you.

Among these new it inventions, Red Hat’s decoy servers and Sony’s mouse-to-VR controller already drew first-round rejections from the patent office.

In hardware shipping rather than filing, Nvidia’s RTX Spark Superchip landed in Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Ultra, tested by Tom’s Hardware this week.

The Spark benchmarks impressed on local AI workloads and lost at gaming, which is exactly the positioning Nvidia wants for on-device agents.

Happy Health’s cuffless blood-pressure ring received FDA clearance for continuous measurement without a cuff or external calibration.

Bee’s new AI wearables start at 74.99 dollars, and Apple’s HomeView 7-inch smart display arrived as the home’s shared interface.

These new it inventions matter because they move AI off the server: rings, glasses, laptops, and displays all run inference near the user.

Future for technology: energy, organs, and fabs

The largest future for technology story belongs to Fervo Energy. Cape Station in Utah began selling power to the grid from an initial 33-megawatt unit.

IEEE Spectrum framed it as the first utility-scale, next-generation geothermal facility anywhere to reach that milestone, and it is commercial, not a demo.

Sunrun and Tesla home batteries delivered a record 745 megawatts of peak power to the California grid, turning rooftops into a dispatchable asset.

ASML posted a record quarter near 13 billion dollars and warned customers are already booking lithography slots for 2029 and 2030 because demand may outstrip capacity.

The future of technology, in chips, runs through one supplier: ASML remains sole source for the most advanced extreme-ultraviolet systems.

In biology, researchers cooled pig kidneys to minus 150 degrees Celsius for months, rewarm them, and saw them work again, the first result of its kind at organ scale.

The reporting notes no trial or regulatory path yet exists, so this future for technology claim stays a lab result, not a treatment.

Researchers also used AI design tools to create proteins that cut other proteins, cleaving bonds that had been stable for hundreds of years.

Mikesailab’s weekly watch framed the pattern: the binding constraint across fields moved from algorithms to atoms, fabs, interconnects, and freezers.

That frame describes the future for technology in one sentence: compute plans collided with physical plant, and the plant started winning orders.
