Today’s best camera phones irritate me for one silly reason

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The best camera phones have a range of features that make them appealing, from their great performance to their large displays. Powerful cameras are no longer limited to the most expensive phones either, with more pricing tiers introducing multi-lens setups with impressive specs. But as I’ve experimented with different devices, especially those that don’t come with a case in the box, I am noticing an annoying issue. When you try to use these phones on a flat sur

Buy the iPhone 16 or wait for iPhone 17? My advice after years of phone reviews

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Like clockwork, a new iPhone has made its way through the rumor mill in August, and users are beginning to wonder if they should buy what's currently available or wait until fall to see how things play out. Based on past trends, there's a good chance Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 series next Tuesday. So, should you pick up an iPhone 16 from your local Apple store today or play the long (but not that long) game? Also: App

A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

iPhone 17 Pro pre-order and release aren’t the only big Apple moments this September

September has officially arrived, and with the new month comes the end of summer and the beginning of a busy fall for Apple. In the weeks ahead, there are several key dates to anticipate for Apple fans, even beyond the major iPhone 17 event set for September 9. Tuesday, September 9: Awe Dropping event Apple’s annual fall keynote kicks off at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on Tuesday, September 9. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, alongside Apple

Apple could reintroduce iPhone mini thanks to this recent lineup change, here’s how

In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones. With iPhone 12 mini, Apple did something fairly special, by squeezing all of the same technologies of the iPhone 12 into a 5.4-inch form factor. Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence. iPhone mini history The iPhone mini ultimately lived a 2 year life. There was the iPhone 12 mini, then a s

How to Watch Apple’s iPhone 17 Announcement, and What to Expect

Ah, September. The kiddos head back to school, the geese head south for the winter, and we all head to Cupertino to see the new iPhones. Apple’s latest product launch event is happening on September 9. The livestreamed announcement starts on Tuesday at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, and 6 pm British Summer Time. You can watch the livestream right here on this page, on Apple's website, or on Apple's YouTube channel. If you're already deep in the Appleverse, you can also watch in the Apple TV app o

These are the 5 best budget camera phones we recommend

We can thank the Google Tensor G4 chipset for making imaging so special in this budget phone. After all, computational photography is what has made the Google Pixel phones so good in mobile photography. The good news is this processing doesn’t change much from phone to phone, as it is all software enhancements. Of course, hardware matters too. The Pixel 9a comes with a 48MP main sensor, which may seem like a downgrade from the Pixel 8a’s 64MP sensor, but photo quality is not always about megapi

Apple is announcing the iPhone 17 lineup on Tuesday: Rumors, prices, new features and what else you need to know

Apple plans to release iPhone 17 and more at the 'Awe Dropping' event September 9: Here's everything to expect

We're now just days away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on

I've Heard the iPhone 17 Air Rumors, and I Don't Get the Hype

Apple recently sent out invitations to an "awe-dropping" special event on Sept. 9, which is widely presumed to be its annual iPhone announcement extravaganza. Rumors about the upcoming iPhone lineup have been circulating for months now, with leaks dropping as early as last year. One of the most well-circulated rumors is that, in addition to the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple will also introduce a brand-new ultra-thin model called the iPhone 17 Air. I'm in the market for a n

I Made My iPhone a Little Bit Dumber and It's Made My Life So Much Better

It's not every day that you get to upgrade your phone, and I was so excited to trade in my well-loved but outdated iPhone 11 last fall for a brand new iPhone 16. I was ready to channel my inner photographer with the nicer cameras, not worry too much about charging it every night thanks to better battery life and -- very exciting to me -- to have a phone in a new Barbie pink color. But what I didn't expect is that one new addition would threaten to ruin my entire experience with my brand new phon

Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S25 FE: 4 reasons why the cheaper one isn’t worth it

With every passing year, the Galaxy S25 FE has been inching closer to the main high-end lineup, both in features and price. They share the same software with One UI 8, boast top-notch build quality, have great displays, top-tier IP ratings, and whatnot. But what started as a solid mid-tier phone that felt like a flagship without the flagship money is now becoming a less enticing deal. With the gap bridging, there are more reasons to spend that extra cash on the standard Galaxy S25 to get a bett

Google Pixel 10 review: The best of Pixel without the fuss

Google Pixel 10 Google has struck a great balance between its baseline and Pro-tier flagships with the Pixel 10. While it doesn't have absolutely everything found in its bigger siblings, the more flexible camera package, new AI tools, great design, and faster processor make for a compact flagship phone with few compromises. Best of all, it still costs the same as last year. The Pixel 10 really is one of the best phones Google has ever made. For my daily driver, I typically pick a hulking great

iPhone 17 Pro will drop titanium for aluminum, and this might be why

Among the various rumors about Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup, one of the most curious centers on design materials. Apple will reportedly drop titanium from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in favor of aluminum, and now we might finally know why. Aluminum iPhone 17 Pro design may provide two key benefits Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg: One other major change to the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max design will be a reversal: moving back to an aluminum frame after switching to titanium in 2023 with the

Gizmodo’s Best of IFA 2025 Awards: See the Winners

IFA, short for Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, meaning “International Radio Exhibition Berlin” because it started in 1924 when radios were the hottest things in tech, doesn’t see as many major gadget announcements as CES. Still, it’s Europe’s largest tech show to close out summer, and this year the show doubled down on the stuff its Messe Berlin convention halls are typically known for: smart home gear and robots. That’s not to say there weren’t the usual new laptops, speakers, and wacky

Bose Debuts QuietComfort Ultra Headphones With Upgraded Noise Canceling and Small Improvements

A few months ago, Bose unveiled a second-gen version of its QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds ($299) that featured some modest improvements, including better noise canceling. The company is following a similar playbook with its flagship over-ear QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen), which are available now for preorder for $449 ($50 more than their predecessor). They deliver better noise canceling, according to Bose, along with some other small performance and feature upgrades. Read more: Best nois

What to expect (and not expect) from yet another September Apple event

Apple's next product event is happening on September 9, and while the company hasn't technically dropped any hints about what's coming, anyone with a working memory and a sense of object permanence can tell you that an Apple event in the month of September means next-generation iPhones. Apple's flagship phones have changed in mostly subtle ways since 2022's iPhone 14 Pro added the Dynamic Island and 2023's refreshes switched from Lightning to USB-C. Chips get gradually faster, cameras get gradu

Apple's iOS 26 release date is coming up: Check to see if your iPhone is compatible for the update

We're only a few days away Apple's iPhone 17 event, which the company has dubbed "awe dropping" and scheduled for Tuesday, September 9. If all goes as expected, we should get to download iOS 26 and iPad 26 about a week later. Coming with those OS updates are substantial updates to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems. You may have already heard about "Liquid Glass," which (intentional or not) is sort of like Apple's take on the old Windows Vista design language. That's the most notable chan

We Use Our Smartphones Like Laptops, So Why Do We Need Both? Here's What CNET's Survey Says

It's not uncommon to have a smartphone, a laptop and a tablet. I use all three, sometimes for many of the same tasks, like text messages, streaming and social media. The same is true for a lot of people. CNET's recent survey examines how most US adults use laptops, tablets and smartphones. Laptops are commonly used for work and educational tasks like creating and viewing documents (52%), streaming (35%) and creative work (33%). Besides texting, calls and social media, we use our smartphones fo

September is usually iPhone season, and Apple appears poised to unveil its newest smartphones with its latest showcase, which is set for next week.

iOS 26: Everything you need to know about the iPhone update ahead of the Apple event next week

Forget Open Earbuds, It’s All About Open Headphones Now

I’m a big fan of open audio, but not everyone loves the earbud form factor. Despite how comfortable some of the entrants in the open-ear audio space may be—Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds and Nothing’s Ear Open are particularly comfy—sometimes you just want a pair of more traditional over-ear headphones, whether for ergonomics or more stability on your head. The problem is, if you want to combine the two (headphones and open-ear audio, that is), you’re not exactly flush with options. JLab, however, pl

With three new upcoming launches, Apple products will push prices higher than ever

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning. You know that when you buy Apple, you’re going to be paying a higher price than for almost any competing product, and are willing to do so for the perceived benefits of this – whether that’s the quality, the style, or the ecosystem. The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook. But we’re also moving into an era where three new product launches a
