Poll: Who’s got the best color options, iPhone 17 or Pixel 10?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For as nice as it can be to feel safe and sound by wrapping your expensive new smartphone tightly in a protective case, there’s also a lot to be said for living a little dangerously and showing off the actual hardware — especially when it’s available in some really appealing colors. That’s just we got this year from the Pixel 10 series, as Google updated its lineup with arguably some of the best Pixel color options in years. Don’t want to miss the best from A

Why choosing between the iPhone Air and the Pro isn’t easy for everyone

Apple’s hardware design chief said yesterday the company knew it would be hard for some to choose between the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. That isn’t true for everyone, of course. For some, the decision will be very straightforward – but I can see how it could be tricky for others … If I think back to some of the tech purchases I’ve made over the years, there have been many cases where the decision was straightforward. Either the best product for my needs was immediately ob

Hot Chips 2025: Session 1 – CPUs

Samsung taking market share from Apple in U.S. as foldable phones gain momentum

In this article AAPL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT In 2014, Apple and Samsung were duking it out to rule the U.S. smartphone market. Samsung was selling devices with large screens, and iPhone fans were demanding a response. It took Apple some time, but the company finally released the iPhone 6, breaking with previous iterations and giving consumers a large-screen option. The iPhone won. But more than a decade later, recent smartphone sales and shipment figures signal that the

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time?

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care. So after a typical weekday I only have 30 blocks = 300 minutes left of discretionary time

Tim Cook and other Apple execs talk iPhone Air’s design vision in new WSJ interview

Here are the details. ‘An iPhone for the Ozempic era’ While the WSJ’s story may include the oddest definition of the iPhone Air yet, it does provide some insight into what Apple sees as the device’s strongest selling points.

iPhone Air vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max: I compared Apple's two best models, and I'd buy this one

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's iPhone 17 lineup brings some of the biggest design changes the smartphone series has seen in years, and no two models better highlight this shift than the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone Air is one of the thinnest smartphones Apple has ever made, made for those who value a sleek, portable design. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max doubles down on power with a cutting-edge camera system and a new vapor c

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: I compared both phones, and it's a close one

Jason Hiner and Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. It feels like yesterday when I sat in a Brooklyn warehouse to watch Jimmy Fallon introduce the Google Pixel 10 series to the world. Since then, Apple has joined the fray with the new iPhone 17, and now I've got a few too many new handsets on my mind. Between what Apple and Google announced, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL stand out as the best of the best. They're the models that tech enthus

The iPhone Air Looks Like a Wild Preview for Apple AR Glasses

Apple had a lot of announcements this week, but arguably none was bigger (and paradoxically thinner) than the iPhone Air. For one, there’s the fact that this is Apple’s first-ever phone with “Air” branding, marking a rare new category of iPhone, both present and future. Then, there’s the fact that the iPhone Air is very slim—5.64mm to be exact. Gizmodo’s Senior Editor, Consumer Tech, Raymond Wong, got some hands-on time with the iPhone Air, and he says it feels as thin as it looks—even thinner t

Download the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro wallpapers [U: iPhone 17]

You know the drill: new iPhones, new wallpapers. And if you liked what you saw during the “Awe Dropping” event, we’ve got you covered. Download the new wallpapers below. iOS now creates its default wallpapers dynamically, reacting to movement and interaction on the device. For this reason, the images below are static versions of those wallpapers. And here is one interesting tidbit: the wallpapers can be configured to color-match either the device or the color of the iPhone case. iPhone Air Th

As Apple pursues AI, spare a thought for the poor HomePod

When the video kicking off Apple's "Awe dropping" event began yesterday, I was pleased to see a HomePod in the opening shot. I hadn't given any thought to Apple's beleaguered smart home speaker in ages, so I was all set for Tim Cook and crew to deliver an actual surprise and reveal new stuff for HomePod. When the entire presentation then passed without another peep about the product, I was disappointed, but resigned. HomePod has always been behind the curve. When smart speakers first came on th

Should You Buy an iPhone 16 or iPhone 17? Here's How They Compare

Now that Apple has debuted the iPhone 17, you may be wondering whether to get that flashy new device or buy last year's iPhone 16 at a discount. To help with that decision, here's a breakdown of how the two handsets compare. The iPhone 17 starts at $829 (or $799 if you activate with a carrier), the same as the iPhone 16 when it came out -- with the caveat that the iPhone 17 starts with a higher 256GB storage option, as opposed to 128GB. The iPhone 16 is now available at a $100 discount, though

Here’s everything Apple discontinued after the ‘Awe Dropping’ event

As it usually does, Apple discontinued a few products to make room for everything it announced during Tuesday’s event. Here’s the full list of products that Apple dropped, following the ‘Awe Dropping’ presentation. The vintage clock is now ticking for these products Every time Apple announces new products, it immediately stops selling some of its previous versions, although they remain available from third-party retailers, usually at pretty attractive discounts. Yesterday was no different. Fo

iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 15 Pro: I compared both models, and here's who should upgrade

Jason Hiner/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. It may look like a good time to spring for the new phone, but how bi

Longhorn – A Kubernetes-Native Filesystem

Longhorn – a Kubernetes-native filesystem The other day, I took a look at Longhorn again. I briefly looked at it earlier, as a way to get volumes that are writeable from more than one node. I tossed it away then, because I mistook it for nothing more than a glorified NFS server. I was quite wrong. At the time of writing, I already know I’m going to make fundamental changes, I will not run with a 2-node cluster permanently, because the latency I have isn’t necessarily a good idea. However, long

‘Stranger Things’ Hellfire Club Catch-Up: Season 3

As the final season of Stranger Things draws near, our Hellfire Club catch-up covers the events of season three’s action-packed summer. If you haven’t yet, you can also refresh your memory on seasons one and two! The Battle of Starcourt is the all-time event in the series so far as a red threat rises in the sleepy town of Hawkins. The Duffer Brothers’ show really fires on all cylinders in season three, which, in our opinion, is the best season of the Netflix franchise so far. It’s a true telev

While US stalls, Australia and Anduril move to put XL undersea vehicle into service

With Anduril’s help, Australia has done what the U.S. Navy has struggled to accomplish: transition an extra-large undersea drone from white board to under contract in just three years. Anduril announced Tuesday that a fleet of its XL uncrewed undersea vehicle (XLUUV) “Ghost Shark” will begin operations in Australian waters next year under a massive AUS$1.7 billion (US$1.1 billion) contract. The five-year award structure is the defense-startup holy grail; it’s a program of record that essential

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

Seven iPhone Air details you might’ve missed during yesterday’s keynote

iPhone 17 has long-awaited fix for OLED screen flickering problem

Have you ever heard of PWM (pulse width modulation)? Even if you haven’t, this screen flickering issue still might impact you. But iPhone 17 looks like it will bring a long-awaited PWM fix. PWM can be disabled on iPhone 17 models I had never heard the term PWM before today, but as I learned by visiting the ‘PWM Sensitive’ subreddit—which has 16k weekly visitors—it’s a fairly widespread issue, and has been for years. Pulse width modulation is a tactic used by smartphones when brightness is red

Apple acknowledges iPhone Camera Control is overly complicated with iOS 26 change

I absolutely love the Camera Control on my iPhone — just not in its default state. With the final version of iOS 26, Apple is taking the first step toward pulling back the overly complex Camera Control with one simple change. Camera Control is a highly requested feature iPhone users have wanted physical camera buttons since at least the iPhone 4 in 2010. That’s why Apple added the ability to use the volume buttons to snap photos in the Camera app way back then. More recently, Apple brought th

‘Traumatika’ Puts a Gruesome Spin on the Idea of Facing Your Demons

The new indie horror film Traumatika opens with a title card informing us of the “five forms of childhood trauma,” unsubtly announcing what’s about to happen over the next 80 minutes. Then we’re in the Egyptian desert, circa 1910, watching an anguished man bury a sinister-looking figurine in the sand. Only then do we arrive in the 21st century, where terrible things are very much afoot. The flashback adds a little bit of context, but it feels unnecessary; a cursed object is a not-uncommon horro
