7 launchers you should use instead of Nova Launcher

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-14 09:30:25

Andy Walker / Android Authority If you’ve been using Android phones as long as me, it’s impossible that you haven’t dabbled in Nova Launcher at some point. In fact, I’d say that Nova Launcher has been the go-to app for Android customization for well over a decade. It earned that well-deserved status by giving users more control than stock launchers ever could, from how icons looked to how gestures worked to how the app drawer was laid out. But all good things come to an end, and the development

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority When Apple drops a new health feature, the ripple effect is rarely subtle. The company’s latest announcement that hypertension notifications are coming to the Apple Watch lineup is one of those moments. For years, smartwatches have toyed with the promise of more medical-grade metrics. My hope is that now, thanks to Apple, blood pressure monitoring is about to become mainstream.

YouTube TV increased its price 9 months ago, but I still haven’t had to pay it. Here’s how

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-14 10:30:02

Joe Maring / Android Authority Almost exactly nine months ago, Google announced it was raising the price of YouTube TV, increasing it from $72.99 per month to $82.99/month. And for anyone who has been subscribed to YouTube TV for a while, you probably saw this coming. When YouTube TV initially launched in 2017, the service cost just $34.99 each month — an unbelievably good deal by today’s standards. But it only took about a year for the first price increase to arrive, bumping it up to $39.99 p

iPhone 17 sales off to a strong start in China, while iPhone Air launch is blocked

The iPhone 17 is seemingly resonating with Chinese consumers, with seemingly strong preorder sales volume. The South China Morning Post reports that iPhone 17 sales at JD.com (a large online Chinese retailer) within the first hour of preorders going on sale exceeded the first day of iPhone 16 preorders last year. The base iPhone 17 with 256 GB storage was said to be the most popular model. Meanwhile, the launch of the iPhone Air is indefinitely delayed while Apple waits for eSIM-related regulat

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has officially arrived, bringing four new devices to the table. As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made." And for the first time in several generations, there will not be a "Plus" model. Also: Apple iPhone 17 event recap: iPhone Air pr

A single, 'naked' black hole confounds theories of the young cosmos

news.ycombinator.com Charlie Wood 2025-11-14 03:27:12

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new class of enormous “naked” black holes, upends the textbook understanding of the young universe. “This is completely off the scale,” said Roberto Maiolino, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge who helped reveal the nature of the object in a preprint posted on August 29. “It’s terribly ex

Joe Maring / Android Authority Every Apple event, be it WWDC or the new iPhone launch, brings me a set of confusing thoughts.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 15 Pro: What’s more worthwhile?

Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models – and as we’ve seen, the base iPhone 17 gained a plethora of upgrades that have made it quite a compelling package. That begs the question, does a 2 year old ‘Pro’ iPhone still have a leg up, or should you just go with the new base model iPhone 17?

For the first time, iPhone 17 Pro truly feels deserving of the ‘Pro’ moniker

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-14 02:32:20

Apple introduced the Pro moniker for iPhones six years ago with the iPhone 11 lineup. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup in particular – it feels like Apple truly developed a professional iPhone for the first time. I’ll explain. ‘Pro’ is no longer just flashy First things first, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is no longer the flashy model, unlike previous Pro iPhones. With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.

Kodak's mini camera fits on your keyring and is smaller than an AirPods case
