'Haptic Trailer' For Brad Pitt's 'F1' Lets You Feel The Race On iPhone

In the movie "F1" Brad Pitt, shown opposite Damson Idris, is a Formula One racer who gets another ... More chance to prove himself. Want to feel what it's like to be Brad Pitt as a Formula One driver tearing around a racetrack? Apple has released a 'haptic trailer' for the upcoming racing film F1 that brings racing sensations to iPhones. The trailer leverages the phone's Taptic Engine to deliver vibrations that sync with the onscreen action as Pitt straps in for some high-speed shenanigans. Apple promises that viewers will 'experience the power of the engines, the rumble of the curbs and the intensity of every gear shift like never before with responsive vibrations.' That makes the haptic trailer sound more dramatic than it actually is, but the revs and roars are still a fun, novel way to draw interest for the film and demonstrate another way technology is making entertainment experiences more multisensory. The trailer works on iPhones 18.4 or later. F1, out in theaters June 27 from Apple Original Films, stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a fictional Formula One prodigy in the 1990s who has to retire due to a crash and now lives in a van and gambles his life away. In the film, a former teammate played by Javier Bardiem convinces Hayes to return to Formula 1 to save a struggling team and get the chance to prove he's still got it. I think we all know where this one's headed. 'As the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition, and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone,' reads a description of the film directed by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick, who also directed Tron: Legacy. Apple premiered the haptic trailer during this week's 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference. There, the company announced, among other things, its next iPhone operating software, iOS 26, which promises to screen scam calls and hold your place in the dreaded phone waiting line when you're stuck on hold. F1 features several F1 drivers including Lewis Hamilton in addition to starring Pitt, Bardiem, Damson Idris and Irish actor Kerry Condon, who gives Pitt's character a tough talking to in the trailer. 'They saying Sonny Hayes isn't a has-been,' she tells him. 'He's a never was.' Gauntlet thrown! Apple first introduced haptics to the iPhone in 2015 with a tiny motorized actuator that delivers subtle tactile sensations to confirm actions like toggling a switch or unlocking a device with Face ID and also provide discreet notifications when a phone's on silent. Last year, Apple released a number of accessibility features for iPhone users, including Music Haptics, which uses the Taptic Engine to layer synchronized sensations onto audio so those with hearing loss can get a more immersive listening experience. Feel the need for speed but don't have an iPhone? Here's a non-haptic version of the F1 trailer.

Instagram will finally let you rearrange your grid

Instagram announced on Thursday that it will finally allow users to rearrange their grid, and is testing a way for users to quietly post to their profile without having the content appear in users' feeds. The social network is also launching the ability to stream songs from Spotify directly to your Instagram Notes, along with a new initiative to support emerging creators. Instagram says the ability to rearrange grids has been one of its most high-requested features. With this update, users will be able to rearrange posts on their profile to customize the appearance of their grid. Up until now, posts on your profile have appeared in chronological order, with pinning a post being the only way to keep older content at the top. The idea behind the feature is to give users a way to make their grid layout more aesthetically pleasing or to highlight certain content above others. The announcement doesn't come as a surprise, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri said back in January that the company was looking to roll out the feature. It's worth noting that Instagram was seen developing the feature back in 2022, but ended up shelving the idea for some time. Fast-forward to 2025, and Instagram is now ready to launch the update soon. As for the ability to quietly post content without broadcasting it to your followers' feeds, Instagram says it's testing the feature now and plans to roll it out more broadly soon. Mosseri wrote in a blog post that 'creative expression can feel intimidating, especially when posting something to feed,' which is why it's introducing the new feature to make it easier for users to share content without having everybody's eyes on it. Of course, this feature likely won't be used by people who want tons of likes on their posts, like creators and celebrities. It's more for people who are focused on building out their profile without having the pressure to perform. The feature is somewhat similar to trial reels, an Instagram feature that lets creators test out new content by publishing videos that don't appear to their followers. The company shared on Thursday that the feature is somewhat similar to trial reels, an Instagram feature that lets creators test out new content by publishing videos that don't appear to their followers. Instagram shared on Thursday that 40% of creators posted Reels more often after trying out trial reels, and that of those, 80% saw their Reels reach more non-followers. Mosseri says that the purpose of both of the new creative features announced today is to give users 'added flexibility over how and where your content shows up and helps you create and share without added pressure.' The new Spotify integration allows users to share any song they're listening to in real-time on the streaming service to their Instagram Notes, letting their followers see and check out what kind of music they're into. The company also announced that it's launching Drafts, an initiative that will invest in emerging talent. Through Drafts, Instagram will partner with creators to provide support that may include financial support, connections, co-ideation, collaboration opportunities, and more. An Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch in an email that Drafts is not a dedicated creator fund, and that Instagram will 'collaborate closely with creators to provide them with the type of support that best suits the needs of each of their unique creative projects.'
