Two new retro computing organizations have launched in northern New England: the New England RetroFest, scheduled for October 24, 2026 in Concord, New Hampshire with admission starting at $10, and the Maine Vintage Computer Society, which held its inaugural virtual meeting and plans in-person gatherings in the Brunswick area. Both aim to bring together vintage computer enthusiasts in the region who previously had limited local opportunities to connect.
Apple's iPhone Duo, releasing October 23, is a foldable phone designed like a notebook that converts skeptics into enthusiasts through intuitive design and seamless software integration. Drawing inspiration from the A-Series paper system, the device features a curved titanium frame and dynamic iOS that adjusts to the phone's orientation, avoiding the awkward experience of existing foldables.
