The Verge Announces Summer IN/OUT Tech Trends

The Verge is back at its annual “IN for Summer, OUT for Summer” roundup, a trend‑forecasting exercise that has become a staple of the tech media landscape. Each year the publication’s staff curates a list of gadgets, cultural moments, and industry buzz that they predict will dominate the season, as well as those that are expected to fade. The latest edition follows the same format, offering a snapshot of what the tech world will embrace and what will be left behind as the heat‑wave months approach.

In this year’s lineup, the Verge highlights a mix of quirky and high‑tech items. Among the “IN” picks are motion‑sickness glasses and AI‑powered “pervert” glasses, while fiber‑protein blends and bootleg sports merchandise are slated to trend. Official tech company apparel, floating‑in‑water accessories, and the ever‑popular “touching grass” trend also make the list. On the “OUT” side, the article notes the decline of the Knicks garbage can and the fading buzz around Taylor Swift’s MSG wedding, among other cultural touchstones. Senior reporter Mia Sato and editor Meredith Haggerty provide the editorial voice that frames these predictions, echoing the Verge’s tradition of blending tech analysis with pop‑culture commentary.

The roundup serves both as a quick guide for consumers and a barometer of the tech industry’s shifting priorities as summer approaches.
