If You Own an iPhone, Amazon Is Offering a Free AirTag Just Before Prime Day

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2025-08-28 03:28:41

Apple doesn’t often discount products, and AirTags have never been on sale from the Apple website or in Apple stores. Amazon, however, occasionally surprises us with exclusive pricing on these useful Bluetooth trackers. For the best value, a pack of AirTags is nearly always a better buy than a single one. Amazon is also running a great deal just in time for Prime Day: purchase three AirTags and receive a fourth free. That drops the price of four AirTags to just $74, down from the regular $99 ($

Android 16 will alert users to possible Stingray surveillance, fake cell towers

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-08-27 23:37:00

Why it matters: As Android 16's new security features roll out with the next generation of smartphones, users will, for the first time, have a tool to detect invisible digital surveillance. Whether this prompts broader reforms in how such technology is used and regulated remains to be seen. Still, the feature reflects a growing awareness of the need to protect personal privacy in the mobile age. An upcoming Android update will introduce a warning system to help users detect one of the most elus

It’s a tumultuous time for copyright in the United States, with dozens of potentially economy-shaking AI copyright lawsuits winding through the courts. It’s also the most turbulent moment in the US Copyright Office’s history. Described as “sleepy” in the past, the Copyright Office has taken on new prominence during the AI boom, issuing key rulings about AI and copyright. It also hasn’t had a leader in more than a month.

The ANBERNIC RG Slide is the Xperia Play I wish I had 15 years ago

ANBERNIC RG Slide The RG Slide is one of the most unique devices ANBERNIC has ever made, and it offers the right mix of nostalgic fun and solid performance to be a compelling choice for retro emulation. While many people are nostalgic for flip phones, sliders are the way to go for me.

Cheglakov Eugene/Getty Many popular AIs offer a voice mode that enables you to carry on live conversations with a chatbot. Often, chatting by voice is more convenient, more natural, and more fun than trying to converse through text prompts. Plus, you can typically review a transcript of the conversation after you're done, so you still have access to the actual text. But which AIs are the best conversationalists?

TL;DR Android 16 is adding a new security feature that can warn you when your phone might be connected to a fake or insecure mobile network created by a “stingray” device. This feature alerts you to unencrypted connections or when the network requests your phone’s identifiers, which can help detect when surveillance might be happening. Due to new hardware requirements, this protection will likely only be on new devices launching with Android 16, such as the upcoming Pixel 10. There are many s

The Trump Phone Is Already a Lot Different From Last Week

Apparently, things change quickly in the world of the Trump phone. It’s been 10 days since the Trump Organization announced it would be launching the $499 T1 smartphone, and in that time there have already been a confusing series of changes to a product that was initially supposed to be arriving as soon as August. Now, you can only expect it “later this year,” according to the most recent update of the Trump Mobile website, with all mention of it “coming soon” gone. That is not the only change.

MacBook Air Diary: iPadOS improvements haven’t tempted me back

I wrote a year ago that I hardly use an iPad any more. With one small exception, that remains the case – but iPadOS 26 did have me revisit the question. That’s because this transforms the device so much that, for the first time, I considered it impossible to argue that the iPad isn’t now a (proper) computer … Why I (almost) stopped using my iPads I said there were five reasons, four of which were that Apple Silicon MacBooks effectively closed the gap between the two device types, and for me t
