I Found the Best Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Rumors for the Fold 7, Flip 7 and Watch 8

Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is a week away and I expect to see new foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 as well as new Galaxy Watches. Remember when July was a quiet month for tech? Not anymore. Samsung was one of the first companies to launch a foldable phone, but over the past few years, competitors including Motorola and Google (as well as Chinese brands such as Honor, Oppo and Xiaomi) have released their own flips and folds that improve or solve many of the shortcomi

The eight reasons people upgrade Mac or PC, as shipments surge

A new market intelligence report lists the eight reasons people opt to upgrade Mac or PC, divided into three categories. It also reveals that Mac shipments grew faster than any PC brand in the first quarter of the year, with year–on–year growth of almost 29% … Canalys measures shipments rather than sales. These are often closely related, but there are a number of ways in which they may differ. In this case, the market intelligence firm says that concerns about tariffs have led resellers to im

Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine. Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, sa

Show HN: Spegel, a Terminal Browser That Uses LLMs to Rewrite Webpages

Spegel - A Terminal Browser That Uses LLMs to Rewrite Webpages June 23, 2025 TL;DR Spegel is a proof-of-concept terminal web browser that feeds HTML through an LLM and renders the result as markdown directly in your terminal.

A couple of hours later, I had a minimal web browser running in my terminal (no JavaSc

Apple Should Steal These Galaxy S25 Edge Features for a Thin iPhone

Tech companies are known for, shall we say, "borrowing" features from each other. Any time Apple or Samsung release a new phone or software update, you can be sure arguments over who did it first, or better, will ensue among hardcore fans. So, as Apple reportedly plans to debut a thinner version of the iPhone 17 this fall, it might look to competitors to see what resonates with consumers. And a few features on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge are on my wishlist for the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Reports

These Rumored iPhone 17 Pro Max Features Make Me Want It Now

I've never been one to track rumors of upcoming iPhone models, even as I've followed Apple's mobile phone adventure from the beginning (yep, I was in the room where it started). Why chase today's speculation when we'll all find out what's coming during the new iPhone announcements in September? But that's the catch, isn't it? September is suddenly not so far away, which means now is the time when people start thinking about fall budgets and whether the iPhone they've been holding onto can make

The best iPad to buy

There are no bad iPads. That’s the best news about Apple’s tablet lineup: 15 years after Steve Jobs first debuted the device, the iPad is the best tablet on the market, and it’s not particularly close. Apple’s App Store is enormous and filled with great apps, Apple’s performance and battery life are consistently excellent, and the iPad is still the company’s most versatile device. That’s one easy answer to your question: yes, if you want a tablet you should buy an iPad. Even last year’s iPad, or

The best iPhone accessories for 2025

There are often better and cheaper alternatives to Apple’s first-party accessories, but the company’s MagSafe wireless charger is worth considering if you have a new iPhone. Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it’s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger’s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn’t

Thousands in Norway told they had won life-changing sums in lottery error

Touching the back wall of the Apple store

Touching the back wall of the Apple store 23 Jun, 2025 Here's a dumb story. When I was in high school, my friends and I had a game we used to play at the mall: we would go into the Apple store and try to make it to the back wall of the store, touch it, and exit out the front without an Apple staff person talking to us. We were fascinated with the Apple store in the mall because it was essentially an interactive luxury goods store where they'd let you actually grasp all the luxury goods with y
