iOS 26 officially launches today, but some developers aren’t sure it should

Today is the day that iOS 26 finally emerges from beta and is officially launched. The headline feature is of course the Liquid Glass look, which has proved almost as controversial as the minimalist look of iOS 7 back in 2013. Apple has made some pretty substantial changes to the look of the operating system after beta testers complained about poor legibility and confusing design elements. Even so, some developers are not at all convinced that Liquid Glass is ready to be unleashed … Wired’s Cr

Spotify Free now lets you play a specific track on demand

But one of the four limits is being removed from today … Unlike Apple Music, which offers paid subscriptions only (aside from a limited free trial), Spotify offers the choice of free and premium subscriptions. Spotify Free has so far had four major drawbacks: Interruptions from ads Lower audio quality Limited ability to skip unwanted tracks Shuffle-only playback on m

Snap's AR glasses are getting a better browser and support for Spotlight video

Snap is upgrading the software that powers its augmented reality glasses as it gets ready for the first non-developer version of its "Specs" next year. The latest update to Snap OS includes an improved web browser, as well as the ability to browse Spotlight videos in AR. The company has long said that one of its goals for AR glasses is to enable people to spend less time staring at their phones. Snap hasn't quite accomplished that yet, but Snap OS is starting to get more features that could hel

Free Spotify users can finally listen to any track immediately

There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb

I built a business plan with ChatGPT and it turned into a cautionary tale

I tested the Samsung S95F OLED for a week, and I'm ready to give up my living room TV

Samsung S95F OLED TV ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung S95F OLED TV delivers an excellent viewing and gaming experience thanks to its superb picture and sound quality, low latency, and the option to disable AI processing. However, this TV is a very expensive investment, especially at larger sizes, and its thin design makes it feel quite fragile. A key color accuracy issue is that the OLED panel runs very blue, which is a significant drawback for this otherwise high-performing TV. View now at A

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. As a current iPhone 14 Pro Max user, I still feel like my three-year-old iPhone gives me everything I need from a smartphone.

I'm skipping the iPhone 17 Pro this year - 3 reasons the base model makes more sense

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. There are plenty of dedicated iPhone users like myself who are loyal to base model iPhones.

I'm the opposite of a power user, unless power is synonymous with a scary a

ExpressVPN review: One of the fastest VPNs we've tested

June Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways ExpressVPN The servers are optimized for global geo-restrictions and fast bandwidth connections without giving up safety. Slight connection delays are noticeable when switching servers, and the VPN is still relatively overpriced. ExpressVPN is one of the best virtual private networks (VPNs) to ever exist.

In the Land of Living Skies: Reacquainting ourselves with the night (2022)

Adjust Share A few years ago, my relationship to darkness had turned a bit fanatical. I was living on the Canadian Prairies in Regina, Saskatchewan, and I’d found my way into a regimen of extreme early rising. Waking each day sometime after midnight but well before the suggestion of dawn, I would drape myself in a hooded fleece cape, light a votive as thick as my forearm, and carry it like a torch as I puttered importantly around the kitchen, arriving at my desk to scribble longhand as if engag

How does air pollution impact your brain?

Image credit: Ionut Stefan We’ve known for some time that air pollution is bad for human health. However, the focus was mostly on the lungs, and to some extent, the heart. After all, airborne pollutants are inhaled through the lungs and can reach the heart through the bloodstream, so it’s not surprising these take the brunt of the damage. But somewhere along the way, it became somewhat mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of
