iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max review: An impactful redesign

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-09 14:00:02

For the sake of this iPhone 17 Pro review, I’ve developed a gaming addiction. I don’t mean triple-A games like Destiny: Rising and Genshin Impact, or even double-A or non-A titles like Inside or Vampire Survivors, both of which I greatly enjoy. I’m specifically referring to Snake Clash on YouTube Games — the type of thing you mindlessly play while pretending to watch a documentary on TV, or while slowly growing a hemorrhoid as you waste away on the throne. The reason I’ve been playing so much

iPhone Air Review: A Magic Sheet of Glass With Expected Tradeoffs

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-09 14:01:19

Turns out an iPhone can be too thin and too light—maybe. That’s what I realized as I picked up the iPhone Air off the ground and inspected it for damage. Moments earlier, Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever—a 5.6mm glass and titanium metal sandwich that makes the previous thinnest iPhone, the 6.9mm iPhone 6, look fat by comparison—had flown out of my hands and fallen onto its screen, just as I pulled it out of my pocket. The good news is that the iPhone Air was largely undamaged. There were a few ver

Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max Review: Level Up

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-10-09 14:00:00

At first glance, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max seem like a drastic upgrade over their predecessors. They have a fantastic new look—one that adds more character with a two-tone design highlighting the blend of the aluminum chassis and glass. The “Camera Plateau,” as Apple calls it, elongates the camera module and gives it a more balanced appearance and feel. (Although I have to say, Google did it first.) The specs might not read as revolutionary on paper: a bigger battery, a brighter s

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro already sounds like a massive disappointment

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 21:30:21

Joe Maring / Android Authority Earlier this summer, Android Authority revealed a potentially huge shakeup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series. Instead of the expected Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup, we found evidence that Samsung’s 2026 Galaxy S family may consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The idea that Samsung would eliminate the Galaxy S26 and replace it with the Galaxy S26 Pro was the biggest takeaway in my book, as it would open a big opportunity for Samsung.

This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 22:00:33

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s safe to say that the Chromecast with Google TV is a basic Android streaming device. It packs exactly one USB-C port used for powering the device and an HDMI tongue to output video — that’s it. This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality. I wasn’t looking for everything and the kitchen sink when I purchased my Chromecast with Google TV, but rather a compact p

Apple Photos App Corrupts Images

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 23:07:44

The Apple Photos app sometimes corrupts images when importing from my camera. I just wanted to make a blog post about it in case anyone else runs into the problem. I’ve seen other references to this online, but most of the people gave up trying to fix it, and none of them went as far as I did to debug the issue. I’ll try to describe the problem, and the things I’ve tried to do to fix it. But also note that I’ve (sort of) given up on the Photos app too. Since I can’t trust it to import photos fr

Insta360 Go Ultra Review: This Tiny Action Camera Got Swacked by a Sword, and Survived

2025 My brother punched his rapier toward my head. The blade missed me by inches, but the clever duelist swiped down and chopped at my crown, sending the $450 action camera attached to my fencing mask spinning away. The magnetic pod for Insta360’s Go Ultra tumbled to the floor, the light still blinking red, still recording. His sword left a gash along the side of the lens and a scuff on plastic.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T is testing out an agentic AI tool that can identify and filter out robocallers. The “digital receptionist” screens calls to determine if the caller is human, how urgent the call is, and whether it meets your customized criteria before passing the call to you. If the caller won’t identify themselves, it’s a wrong number, or the call doesn’t meet your criteria, the receptionist will either disconnect or take a message. Are you tired of being bothe

An antidote to fat, heavy cars? Check out these lightweighting awards.

Although cars are much safer—for their occupants at least—than they used to be, that has come at a cost: added weight.

Around 90% of an Earthquake’s Energy Doesn’t Do What You Think It Does

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, researchers describe how they created “lab quakes,” or miniature versions of natural earthquakes created in a controlled laboratory. Doing so allowed the team to derive a complete energy budget for the quakes, a “simplified analog” of real-life earthquakes, they reported in the paper. Surprisingly, they fou
