How AI Is Helping Kids Find the Right College

After Julia Dixon graduated from the University of Michigan in 2014, her family and friends asked for her help with the college application process. Dixon was happy to share her recently earned expertise about the world of higher education but soon realized how many parents and students in her community needed help and how hard it was for them to access that support. The ratio of college counselors to students in the US, according to the American School Counselor Association, is one for every 3

Here’s My Experience With 5 Cheap Gadgets I Bought From AliExpress

If you're shopping online, you may have noticed products from Temu and AliExpress often come up in your shopping search. These items are so cheap that you may wonder if it's really a steal or if you should stay away. I was in that boat as well. And I love a good YouTube video where the host tests cheap tech from low-cost retailers. So, curious as I am, I decided to try my hand at testing cheap home products from the popular discount marketplace, AliExpress. Now, when shopping for a new piece of

Apple’s push in India continues: Foxconn to start making iPhone casings in the country

Apple wins Grand Prix at Cannes for ‘Shot on iPhone’ campaign

Apple’s famous “Shot on iPhone” ad series has just earned one of the advertising industry’s highest honors: the Grand Prix in the Creative Effectiveness Lions category at this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

‘Best Wishes to All’ Proves J-Horror Can Still Find New Ways to Freak You Out

New Shudder release Best Wishes to All begins with a nightmare, and that sets the tone for everything that follows. A nursing student, never given a name and played by the instantly sympathetic Kotone Furukawa, dreams she’s a child again visiting her grandparents—and wakes up screaming after spotting something deeply alarming beyond a cracked-open door. We soon realize this was really more of a flashback, in anticipation of what seems to be her first trip to their rural home since that happened

Spotify may finally let you import music without jumping through hoops (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all. If you want to switch to Spotify, this will be the position you’ll find yourself in since it doesn’t offer an im

Adobe just released an iPhone camera app with full manual controls

For photography enthusiasts, the prosumer camera app market has had no shortage of great options, with longtime favorites like Halide from Lux leading the pack. Now, Adobe has decided to enter the picture (get it?) with a free experimental app from the same team behind the original Google Pixel camera. If you remember the early days of the Google Pixel and its heavy focus on computational photography, you already have a sense of what this team, now at Adobe, cares about and is capable of. Its n

iPhone 'Flip': The Apple Foldable Is Still Rumored To Come in 2026

We're half a decade into foldable phones, with plenty of devices from Samsung, Google and Motorola (as well as others from Oppo, Huawei and more) for consumers to choose between. Yet among big phone makers, only Apple still lacks one in its lineup. The latest flexible-screen devices, like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Motorola Razr Plus reboot and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold show mature designs and robust bending displays, leaving the foldables niche handily dominated by Android devices. Recurring leaks and

Spotify lossless streaming edges closer with new in-app references to ’24-bit’ and FLAC

After years (and years, and years) of waiting and speculation, Spotify’s long-promised lossless audio feature appears to be inching closer to reality. The latest desktop app builds now show multiple references to “Lossless” streaming, giving users the loudest sign yet that higher-fidelity streaming could soon roll out. Here’s what to expect. Lossless options appear in streaming settings and Spotify Connect menus Screenshots shared earlier today by the X account @spicetifyapp, which focuses on

Star Quakes and Monster Shock Waves

Like the simulation depicting how a neutron star cracks, this one also predicts the characteristics of the resulting flares astronomers might see through telescopes. In the fleeting moments when monster shock waves rip outward and a black hole pulsar forms, telescopes may be able to catch outbursts of radio waves or a combination of X-rays and gamma rays. In short, the simulations performed by Most and colleagues provide a deeper understanding of the physics driving some of the most energetic ev

YouTube Shorts is about to look a little more like Instagram Reels

Tapping on the sticker will redirect the viewer to the retailer’s website for that product. Viewers can see the full list of products the creator tagged by tapping on the down arrow.

The Fairphone 6 leaks ahead of its rumored late June launch

The Fairphone 6 is widely expected to get an official unveiling in the next week but the leadup to the repairable smartphone’s launch has been leakier than a bad tap. In a new report from WinFuture , purported images of the Fairphone 6 show that it’ll feature two back covers: one for the main body covering the cameras, and a lower panel that can be easily removed by loosening a few visible screws. Doing so grants access to the battery, which WinFuture notes is not glued down, though swapping it

Google Photos’ upcoming Remix feature could launch with a video upgrade (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos’ upcoming Remix feature, internally codenamed “Bluejay,” will likely support video editing. When it launches, the feature will use generative AI to transform videos into various styles, with options potentially including “I’m feeling lucky,” “Subtle movements,” and “Go wild.” Creating AI photos and videos is all the rage these days, but many people are using AI to remix their existing photos and videos. For instance, the Studio Ghibli tr

Apple's first foldable iPhone to enter production this year, launch expected in 2026

Something to look forward to: Apple's long-rumored folding iPhone will finally go into production later this year ahead of its launch in the fall of 2026, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. But despite that deadline fast approaching, Apple has yet to finalize many of the handset's component specifications. According to Kuo's latest report, Foxconn will officially begin production of Apple's first foldable iPhone late in the third quarter of 2025 (late September) or early in the fourth quarter (

Astronomers Suggest That Entire Stars Are Being Obscured by Giant "Lampshades" of Dark Matter

Hunting for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to account for 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos, isn't easy. If it interacts with light at all, it does so incredibly weakly. Still, we can see its handiwork everywhere, with its gravitational pull determining the formation of everything from whole galaxies to individual stars. Now a team of astronomers is proposing a new technique for searching for dark matter — and it runs counter to its reputation as a completely invisible, light-i

Nothing Phone 3 says goodbye to Glyph Interface, hello to Glyph Matrix

TL;DR Nothing teases its upcoming Phone 3 with a new design element called “Glyph Matrix.” The teaser suggests dot matrix-style lighting on the back of the device, potentially for more intricate light patterns. Previously leaked renders of the Phone 3 do not align with the newly teased Glyph Matrix design. In typical Carl Pei fashion, the Nothing Phone 3 hype train is at full speed. We’ve just about recovered from the heartbreak after learning about the Phone 3’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor

As a Pixel fan, I tried the new iPhone app made by Google’s camera team, and it’s fantastic

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the Android world, it’s hard to beat Google’s Pixel phones for consistent, lifelike photos. While the HDR-ified look may not be for everyone, there’s no questioning the sheer reliability of a Pixel camera. When you tap the shutter button, you can all but guarantee you’ll get a pleasing and natural picture every single time. That camera experience is one of the main reasons I like using Pixels so much, and thanks to a new app called Indigo, you can now get some
