iPhone alarm not going off? 6 potential fixes to this annoying issue

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted. Somewhere between frustration and desperation, I installed a third-party alarm app to try and

Which Foldable Will You Flip For? Comparing Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE

Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware. But the Z Flip 7 isn't the only clamshell foldable Samsung is debuting this summer. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is slightly smaller and bridges the gap between the two generatio

The 2025 Low-Power Computer Vision Challenge: Spurring Innovation for Edge and Mobile Devices

Imagine a downtown urban street on a traffic-heavy Saturday night. Now, add a severe snowstorm and an autonomous vehicle that safely navigates it all, despite fogged-up cameras, unpredictable pedestrians in oversized outerwear, streetlights throwing glare off a dozen wet surfaces, and the snow itself, which all but obliterates the visibility of traffic signs and lane markers. A computer vision (CV) system that could make this safe navigation possible would revolutionize not only autonomous

TikTok parent ByteDance reportedly developing its own XR glasses

We’ve known for a few months now that Meta is working on XR glasses, internally codenamed Phoenix (previously codenamed Puffin). Not to be confused with Orion, which is the

MagSafe Monday: Heading off to college in the fall? Here’s your best MagSafe gear

I went off to college with a giant desktop computer, so I’m a little envious of the gear students have today.

If you’re heading to campus this fall, here’s the best MagSafe gear to make your dorm setup cleaner, smarter, and less tangled.

This entry-level robot vacuum left some of my expensive ones in the dust

ZDNET's key takeaways At $199, the Tapo RV20 Max is an affordable option that works surprisingly well.

Why I recommend this Samsung Galaxy Watch over competing Androids

Samsung’s Z Flip handsets have always been a safe choice in the flip phone market, but the Flip 7 looks like a truly exciting one. Between the vastly improved cover screen, larger main display, and slimmer design, it’s an impressive piece of kit. But for everything Samsung seems to have gotten right with the Z Flip 7, I do have some conc

Not again: Sony’s WH-1000XM6 hinge shows signs of cracking

TL;DR A WH-1000XM6 user has reported a broken hinge, even after using the headphones “carefully.” While there has only been this one report so far, Sony supposedly redesigned the XM6 hinge to prevent this.

Specifically, it’s an issue from the predecessor device we had hoped was in the past. A Reddit po
