Jason Hiner and Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple just announced the new iPhone 17 Pro at its Awe Dropping live event, and it comes with some pretty substantial upgrades both in terms of design and capabilities. We're talking longer battery life, more onboard memory, a bigger and brighter screen, and an improved camera system. If you've got an iPhone 15 Pro, your device is already two years old.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Apple just launched its iPhone 17 Pro. The new model includes some enticing upgrades. I have had the 16 Pro for one year, and might trade it in. While most people choose to wait several years before upgrading their iPhones, that's a bit more challenging for tech aficionados like myself. I really wanted to hold out on upgrading my daily driver, the iPhone 16 Pro, but after watching the launch e

CorentinJ: Real-Time Voice Cloning (2021)

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

The AI Label Is on Everything Now: That's a Problem for Buyers and Home Brands Alike

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-02 09:00:00

If there's one thing I learned from Berlin's 2025 IFA consumer tech show, it's that AI has taken over marketing, too. Even with my smart home focus, it was difficult to find a new product or announcement that didn't have "AI" somewhere in its promotion. That's a problem for the average tech enjoyer, because it's no longer clear what AI means, if it's actually AI in the modern sense (which some would argue isn't even true AI at all), or if it adds anything worth having.

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.

As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

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

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

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.

Typically, they're produced by stars dying in a spectacular supernova — a rapid collapse that completely obliterates the stellar object.
