iSnitched? Apple sues YouTuber over elaborate iOS 26 leak plot

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-23 06:21:34

Front Page Tech TL;DR Apple is suing YouTuber Jon Prosser for Front Page Tech for allegedly accessing a development iPhone and leaking iOS 26 details months before launch. The lawsuit accuses him and a collaborator of a conspiracy to misappropriate trade secrets and secretly record unreleased features. It’s an unusually aggressive legal move for a tech company, one we’ve never seen from an Android brand. Apple is generally better than most Android brands at keeping its unreleased products an

I ditched my $1,000 Android phone for Google’s $500 one, and I barely noticed a difference

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the world of writing about Android phones on the internet, it’s very easy to focus solely on the big flagships — the Google Pixel 9 Pros, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras, and OnePlus 13s of the world. Those are the phones with the best and flashiest specs, and they’re often the most fun to talk about. But equally important, if not more so, are more affordable handsets. Expensive flagships may be exciting, but they aren’t the phones that everyone is buying. After us

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-23 09:08:07

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

Other writers may look to AI as a quick fix when they hit a roadblock. Plus, publishing on a budget can be tough, so AI-generated images and audio may seem like a good solution.
