See the 163 new emoji available in iOS 26.4 beta 4
Apple's latest iOS beta — 26.4 beta 4 — rolled out this week and came with a serious upgrade in emoji.
Your mileage may vary on what's technically new, but iOS 26.4 beta 4 brings a total of 163 new emoji designs. There are 13 truly new emoji concepts (which we've seen before), and then 150 new skin tone variations for the existing wrestling and people with bunny ears emoji.
The emoji-focused resource, Emojipedia, helpfully published a first look at all the new emoji. They appear to be variations on the new emojis introduced by Unicode — the nonprofit that standardizes digital characters — last year.

The new concepts, as shown above, include a distorted face, a so-called fight cloud, a bigfoot-esque creature (technically, it's known as the "hairy creature"), an orca, a landslide, a treasure chest, and a ballerina in various skin tones. These are long-expected updates to emoji, as we covered back in 2025, but now they're starting to roll out.
Hairy creature, aka Bigfoot, appears to be the most anticipated of the new emoji. Personally, I think the fight cloud emoji has a bright future, especially for anyone who loved Saturday morning cartoons back in the day.

If you're stumped by an abstract math problem or a complicated physics concept, ChatGPT can help.
Announced today, OpenAI's chatbot can now generate interactive visuals in response to prompts on math and science questions, including dynamic, customizable graphs, diagrams, and geometric renderings. Once generated, users can adjust variables and manipulate formulas directly in the chat and watch the visuals change in real-time.
For now, visual explanations are available for 70 "core concepts" in science and math, including specific physics and geometric formulas like the Pythagorean theorem, Charles’ and Ohm's laws, kinetic and potential energy, and more. The subjects are curated for high school and college-age learners, OpenAI says, and the company plans to expand the feature with additional subjects in the future.

ChatGPT fields math and science questions from 140 million users each week, according to parent company OpenAI. Last year, the company launched Study Mode, a toggle-on ChatGPT experience designed to act more like an AI tutor rather than an all-around helper. With Study Mode on, ChatGPT is instructed not to give direct solutions but to encourage a more socratic style of learning. In Mashable's tests, however, the chatbot still provided answers, even when unprompted.
Dynamic visuals aren't a Study Mode-only feature, however, and the company told Mashable that the experience was designed and tested using the standard ChatGPT mode. Math and science visuals will appear across all ChatGPT experiences and plans, and are available now.

Amazon is celebrating Mar10 Day by offering tons of discounts on Mario-themed Lego sets, and we're in love with all of them. Here are some fun Mario Lego deals to shop today in honor of the famous plumber himself.

Why we like it
Love escaping their fireballs or dread their brutality, the Mario Piranha Plant is an icon. Lego designed this build with 540 pieces and recommends it to builders ages 18 and up. Posable parts include the leaves, head, mouth, and stalk. Plus, it could potentially blend in with your other Lego Botanical builds, but who knows what damage it could do come nightfall.
The Lego Mario Piranha Plant usually sells for $59.99, but it's on sale at Amazon today for only $41.99 in honor of Mar10 Day.
