QUICK SUMMARY
Hublot has debuted the Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic watch. It claims to be the world's first multicolour ceramic timepiece and it's limited to just 20 pieces.
Hublot has just announced a new addition to the Big Bang collection and it uses an all-new material that you might not have seen or heard of before. The Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic features multicoloured ceramic, and the brand claims it to be the world's first multicolour ceramic watch – but you probably won't get one.
Multicoloured ceramic or 'Magic Ceramic' is a homogeneous material that layers different coloured pigments to achieve different patterns and colours. The process of creating Magic Ceramic is complex, as each pigment has to go through different temperatures during the ceramic's baking and moulding process.
Hublot has been developing and producing coloured ceramics for over 10 years, and the new Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is the first watch from Hublot to use this new material. In correlation with the Big Bang's 20th anniversary, the Magic Ceramic material is patent-pending and is a seriously impressive timepiece to celebrate such a big milestone.
The standout feature of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is its bezel. The dark grey ceramic bezel has dramatic blue circles that scatter the bezel randomly and in an organic pattern. It has a pop art feel to it, and adds a bit of playfulness to the watch. The bezel also prominently displays the screws, a key accent with Big Bang watches.
The dial of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is similar to other Unico timepieces, with its bold hour numbers and skeletonised dial. It has two chronograph counters and a date window at the three o'clock position. The case measures 42mm and it's water resistant to 100 metres.
The Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is powered by the UNICO automatic flyback chronograph movement which is displayed through the dial and makes it look even more dramatic and industrial. The watch is finished with a black lined rubber strap.
If you like the look of the new Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic by Hublot, chances are you won't be able to get your hands on one – unless you're very quick. As a limited edition timepiece, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Ceramic is limited to just 20 pieces.

SpaceX launches Sirius XM radio satellite to orbit, lands rocket on ship at sea (video, photos)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. SpaceX launched the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM early Saturday morning (June 7), adding another spacecraft to the company's broadcasting constellation. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying SXM-10 lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Saturday at 12:54 a.m. EDT (0454 GMT). The rocket's first stage came back to Earth about 8.5 minutes later as planned, touching down on the SpaceX drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas," which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the eighth launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description. Among its previous missions were the Crew-9 and Fram2 astronaut flights and the liftoff on Jan. 15 of this year that sent two private moon landers — Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost and ispace's Resilience — toward Earth's nearest neighbor. Blue Ghost aced its lunar touchdown on March 2, but Resilience crashed during its landing attempt on Thursday (June 5).

The 14,100-pound (6,400 kilograms) satellite, which was built by Maxar Technologies, will now maneuver to join SiriusXM's radio constellation, adding its own capabilities to the mix. Saturday's launch was SpaceX's second for SiriusXM in just six months; a Falcon 9 lofted the SXM-9 satellite in early December 2024. SpaceX has now launched 69 Falcon 9 missions in 2025. Fifty-one of them have been dedicated to building out the company's Starlink broadband megaconstellation in low Earth orbit.

Apple reportedly ditching its OS naming system for something more... confusing?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary Apple is set to rip up the copybook when it comes to the names of its new OS updates. Industry sources claim the next iOS will be called iOS 26. Apple's other operating systems will follow suit, it is said. If you own an Apple device you'll likely be au fait with the company's OS naming system. We're currently on variants of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, etc, and iOS 19 and we're fully expecting iOS 19 and its equivalents to be announced during WWDC in a couple of weeks. However, it turns out we could be very wrong. It is claimed that Apple is set to shake-up the naming convention for the software coming to its best iPhones and other devices. And rather than simplify things, it could be more baffling than ever. Bloomberg's resident Apple expert, Mark Gurman, has reported that Apple will switch to yearly identifiers from this year's OS updates. However, much like EA does with its annual EA Sports games, it'll opt for the forthcoming year, not the current one. According to "people with knowledge of the matter", that means we'll get iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26 this year, while next year will see iOS 27 release, and so on. The software will be the same as the rumoured iOS 19, etc, but the name will be different. Of course, once we get into the swing of it, it'll make sense. And we get why Apple would want to use the proceeding year rather than current one, considering each OS is likely to release towards the end of 2025 (in September). However, it could make it particularly confusing when scanning through app compatibility, for example. The jump from 19 to 26 leaves quite a gap for the uninitiated. It's also been pointed out just how Samsung this all seems. Samsung has, since 2020, named its flagship Android phones after years – although as they launch in February or March, they use the current date. The Samsung Galaxy S25 family is the latest, therefore. It doesn't do so with its software though, with One UI 8 (based on Android 16) set to be its next big phone OS release. We'll find out more about the new naming structure on 9 June during during Apple's WWDC 25 opening keynote (or should that be 26?).

Apple teases iOS redesign in WWDC 25 clip
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary Apple's changes to iOS may be clearer after a new tease. We're expecting something inspired by the Apple Vision Pro. It's a jubilant time of year of year for Apple fans. The brand will be hosting its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday 9th June. That event has historically played host to a wide range of new software and operating system-based goodies. The brand often utilises its opening keynote speech as a platform to introduce new software for every part of its portfolio. All of the rumours and leaks so far have pointed to a new design, which will take on the glass-like aesthetic seen in the Apple Vision Pro's VisionOS. And the latest teaser from the brand seems to support that theory. The WWDC website has been changed to offer a new tagline. That reads 'Sleek Peak' and is topped by an Apple logo which appears to be made from frosted glass. It should be an exciting update. Everything in the in the Apple catalogue from the Apple Watch to the iPad and the iPhone to the Mac is expected to receive the update, and we'd expect them all to make use of this theme in some way. I think that's a much needed update. The brand has always been known for sleek, classy and minimal designs, and this embodies that perfectly. Keeping the design consistent across all of its products would also help to tie the entire ecosystem together a little more. It's not the only big change expected either. Earlier rumours suggested that the brand is set to change the numbering convention of its software, to better align with the year. That means that we'll see all of the various operating systems released as xOS 26 this time out. There's not too much else to go on right now – Apple has always been pretty good at keeping things under wraps. Still, with less than a week to go before the show takes place, there's not much longer to wait for the news direct from the source.
