The days news in handy list form because everyone loves lists
The first day on the ground at IFA (and New York) is now done, and there was literally a deluge of news and product announcements. That's exactly why we love it, and likely what everyone was hoping for from the event. ASUS, Samsung and Sony all held their press events, bringing everything from watches to VR headsets — as well as a phone or two. We expect more of the same in the coming days, so stick around for everything you want to know about what's going on in Berlin.
In the meantime, with this much good news, it's hard to find it all. That's where we can help. Here's a roundup of all of the days news and events, in one handy spot. I know I'll be reading it again!
