AirPods Pro 3 have less overall battery life than AirPods Pro 2

The new AirPods Pro 3 have better battery life than AirPods Pro 2 on a single charge, with the buds lasting up to 2 hours longer on one charge. But here’s a curveball. The overall battery life of AirPods Pro 3 is actually less. Including the charging case, Apple says AirPods Pro 3 are good for 24 hours of listening time, whereas AirPods Pro 2 actually last for 30 hours. That’s a surprising 20% reduction … This means for one continuous session of music and podcast listening, AirPods Pro 3 are s

Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"

With the number of passenger vehicles rising across Europe, cities are grappling with air pollution, traffic accidents, and the loss of public space. In Spain, the city of Pontevedra has managed to overcome these challenges, surpassing national air quality standards and creating safer streets. The key, according to the Galician municipality’s mayor, is an urban model that prioritises residents over cars – without imposing an outright ban on private vehicles. It is a bright summer evening in Pon

Apple's New Hypertension Notifications: Everything to Know About the High Blood Pressure Alerts

After years of waiting, Apple announced at its "awe dropping" event that the Watch Series 11 will have Hypertension Notifications. This joins similar, alert-based Apple Watch health features including notifications for noise, sleep apnea and heart health. The groundbreaking new Hypertension Notifications feature is designed to alert users if signs of hypertension (or chronic high blood pressure) are detected. But how exactly does the feature work, and when will it be available? This is everythi

Apple just added two surprise iOS 26 features that I absolutely love

iOS 26 launches to all users next week, and despite months of beta testing already, Apple saved a couple surprise features for the wide launch that have become instant favorites: app icons can now auto-tint based on your iPhone’s color or its case color. App icons can now be tinted to match your iPhone color or case in iOS 26 Last year in iOS 18, Apple unlocked a bunch of new customization options for iPhone users. But two last-minute additions to iOS 26 could steal the show as some of the mo

California’s High-Speed Rail Fiasco Keeps Getting Worse

Seventeen years ago, Californians bet on a grand vision of the future. They narrowly approved a $10 billion bond issue to build a high-speed rail line that would zip between San Francisco and Los Angeles in under three hours. This technological marvel would slash emissions, revitalize the state’s Central Valley, and, with some financial help from the feds and private sector, provide the fast, efficient, and convenient travel Asia and Europe have long enjoyed. State officials promised to deliver

13 Best Electrolyte Powders (2025): Tasty and Effective

TL;DR Don't choose something with ultra-high amounts of sodium, carbohydrates, or sugar unless you need to based on your exercise levels or a sweat test. Amy Brownstein, a registered dietitian nutritionist at MyNetDiary, says electrolytes are minerals that exist naturally in your body. These include magnesium, calcium, chloride, sodium, potassium, and phosphorous. Electrolyte powders usually contain these, as well as sugars and carbohydrates which can help a little bit with the absorption of th

The iPhone 17 camera looks completely outdated next to 2025’s Android phones

Apple has just launched the iPhone 17 series, and there are quite a few camera changes this time. We’ve got a square selfie camera sensor that enables portrait or landscape shots without rotating the phone, a 48MP 4x camera for the Pro phones, and a 48MP ultrawide camera for the standard model. Unfortunately, one thing you won’t find on the standard Phone 17 is a telephoto camera. Apple has decided to skip this option yet again, and this is a frankly embarrassing decision in 2025. What do you

Apple’s new Crossbody Strap makes more sense than we might think

I’ll freely admit to being one of the many people who viewed Apple’s new crossbody strap with some bemusement. Internet comments on it mostly use terms like “bizarre” or worse. But a new piece today suggests that many of us are misunderstanding Apple’s latest iPhone accessory, and that it does in fact have a valuable role … I once saw a meme which said that women want only two things in life: equality, and pockets. It’s the lack of the latter in women’s fashion which creates demand for this ty

All iPhone 17 models get dual capture video recording in the Apple Camera app

A new software feature available across the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air lineup is Dual Capture, which allows you to record from the front and rear camera at the same time. This mode is available through a button in the Apple Camera app running on an iPhone 17. The dual video recording capability was first demoed by Apple back in 2019 as a feature of the iPhone 11 Pro, but required a third-party app to use … You can see Apple unveil multi-cam recording at this point in the 2019 iPho

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might get a camera downgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could offer an inferior 3x camera to the S25 Ultra. The phone will apparently use a 3x camera with a smaller sensor, suggesting lower quality photos. We’ve already seen some Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leaks, and we most recently heard that the 3x camera could get a new sensor. Now, it sounds like this might be a downgrade.

Nikon's ZR is its first cinema camera co-designed with RED

Nikon has unveiled its first cinema camera developed in collaboration with the company it acquired last year, RED. The Nikon ZR (the "R" is for "RED" I imagine) is a camera that neither company could have made on its own, marrying RED's color science and video codecs with Nikon's advanced subject detect AF and in-body stabilization. It will go up against other creator-oriented models like Canon's new C50 and the Sony FX3 but at a much lower price. Nikon's mirrorless cameras are known for their

Beats' new iPhone 17 case has a lanyard that turns into a kickstand

Should you upgrade to an iPhone 17 Pro from a 16 Pro? How I'm justifying it

iPhone 17 Pro: These two features will make you want to upgrade

Apple’s full iPhone 17 lineup is almost here, and the latest rumors point to major iPhone 17 Pro improvements coming in two areas that often motivate upgrades: battery life and cameras. #1: Huge battery life gains Apple’s flashy new model this year will be the iPhone 17 Air, but for anyone who cares a lot about battery life, iPhone 17 Pro will be the better option. The latest leaks indicate Apple’s 17 Pro models will offer significantly better battery life than their predecessors. Here’s the

Immunotherapy drug clinical trial results: half of tumors shrink or disappear

Over the past 20 years, a class of cancer drugs called CD40 agonist antibodies have shown great promise—and induced great disappointment. While effective at activating the immune system to kill cancer cells in animal models, the drugs had limited impact on patients in clinical trials and caused dangerously systemic inflammatory responses, low platelet counts, and liver toxicity, among other adverse reactions—even at a low dose. But in 2018, the lab of Rockefeller University’s Jeffrey V. Ravetch

Apple’s Best New iOS 26 Feature Has Been on Pixel Phones for Years

Ever since I was a child, I’ve despised answering the phone when an unknown number calls. Who could be on the other end? Literally anyone: an acquaintance, a telemarketer, a serial killer who’s menacingly breathing into the mouthpiece. While Apple’s upcoming Liquid Glass refresh in iOS 26 is likely to be the most immediately noticeable aspect of the software update as it starts rolling out to the public on September 15, I believe a smaller addition in iOS 26 might even have a bigger impact on h

Apple’s new Center Stage Camera always keeps you in frame

The biggest takeaway from the iPhone 17’s new front camera? You won’t have to rotate your phone to take a landscape selfie. The new square sensor allows for multiple aspect ratios to be captured at once; you just have to click to expand or switch between compositions. And that’s just the start of the phone’s new features, as revealed at Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal event, not to mention the implications of the iPhone 17 Pro’s potent camera on manufacturers targeting vloggers and content creators.

Apple’s big fall event just wrapped up, and we rushed out of the Steve Jobs Theater to get our hands on the latest iPhones. Here’s a look at the new iPhone 17, Apple’s base model this year, which is joined by the thinner iPhone Air and beefier iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max — there’s no Plus this time around. The first place to start is the rear camera. Not because a lot has changed here, but rather because it hasn’t: while the iPhone 17 Pro and Air have both adopted new horizontal camera “plateaus,

As AI Reigns, Students' Math and Reading Scores Just Hit an All-Time Low

The US Education Department, which the Trump administration is actively attempting to dismantle, has released the latest math and reading test scores for American high-school seniors — and they're an absolute disaster.
