Motorola just teased a phone thin enough to take on the Galaxy S25 Edge

Motorola TL;DR Motorola has begun teasing a new flagship Android phone called the “Moto X70 Air,” with a full reveal coming later in October. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air, the main draw to the Moto X70 Air will be its ultra-thin design. Currently, we expect the X70 Air to be released exclusively in China, although a global launch may occur at a later date. Thin smartphones are all the rage this year. After Samsung kickstarted the trend earlier this year, and Apple just brought it

CMF Headphone Pro goes up for pre-order with a limited-time discount

TL;DR The CMF Headphone Pro is CMF’s first pair of over-ear headphones. The headphones come with benefits like ANC and battery life of up to 100 hours. Pre-orders are open today at a limited-time price of $84. Nothing released its first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1, in July. We liked the headset quite a bit, but at an MSRP of $299, it’s pretty unequivocally a luxury item. Today, Nothing’s budget sub-brand, CMF, has launched its own pair of over-ears — and they’re predictably a

The OnePlus 15 Is One of the First Phones That Could Kick the iPhone 17 Pro’s Ass

OnePlus is changing things up with the launch of its next flagship Android phone, the OnePlus 15. The company is skipping the 14 because four, which sounds like the word for death, is bad luck in Chinese culture. Notably, the OnePlus 15 will be one of the first phones to launch with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a chipset that seems to kick the iPhone 17 Pro 17’s ass, especially for gaming and graphics-intensive tasks. Releasing sometime in China in October, and then with a global la

Do iPhone 16 cases fit the iPhone 17?

The answer to that question is simple: you’re going to need to invest in new cases for your iPhone 17. iPhone 16 vs iPhone 17 cases Here are the dimensions of the iPhone 16 lineup: iPhone 16 : 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm : 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8 mm iPhone 16 Plus : 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm : 160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm iPhone 16 Pro : 149.6 x 71.5 x 8.25 mm : 149.6 x

Apple has released a new software update for iPhone: iOS 26.0.1 is now available for download. Here’s what’s new. Two weeks ago, Apple launched iOS 26 to the public.

Most notably, Apple says the update fixes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems that were impacting some iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air users. As we reported last week, some iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users took to social media to complain of unreliable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi problems. Those users said their phones were randomly disconnecting from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, leading to other problems with ac

FCC Accidentally Leaked iPhone Schematics

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently published a 163-page PDF showing the electrical schematics for the iPhone 16e, despite Apple specifically requesting them to be confidential. This was most likely a mistake on the part of the FCC, according to a report by AppleInsider . The agency also distributed a cover letter from Apple alongside the schematics, which is dated September 16, 2024. This letter verifies the company's request for privacy, indicating that the documents contain

The OnePlus 15 Humiliates iPhone 17 Pro Max With 43% Larger Battery

OnePlus is changing things up with the launch of the OnePlus 15. (OnePlus is skipping the 14 because four, which sounds like the word for death, is bad luck in Chinese culture.) Instead of following previous years and releasing its flagship Android phone in China first, then following it with a global release a few months later, the tech brand is pushing the OnePlus 15 out before the holidays. Releasing in China at the end of October, then launching globally and in North America on Nov. 13, the

Today’s Pixel phones owe a lot to the amazing Nexus 6P

It’s been 10 years since Google released the Nexus 6P, the last phone to bear the Nexus name before the Google Pixel followed it in 2016. Usually, a phone turning 10 is nothing more than an opportunity to wax nostalgic about a beloved device from the past. I think the Nexus 6P is different because a decade later, we’re still feeling the ripples of the splash this phone made, from its incredible camera to its timeless design. The Nexus 6P isn’t any old Google phone. It’s the start of where Googl

As the proud user of the aging but still golden Google Pixel 8, I’ve had plenty of fun using this handset.

iPhone Fold a step closer as Samsung prepping mass production of displays

Expectations that Apple will launch an iPhone Fold next year got further traction from a Samsung announcement. While Apple’s display partner did not mention the company by name, there seems little doubt who is being referenced … 2026 iPhone Fold Everyone now seems aligned on reports that a foldable iPhone will finally be launched next year. This follows the launch of the iPhone Air, which was an important stepping stone toward the far thinner displays needed. Apple was said to have been testi

CMF’s First Wireless Headphones Have a Slider for People That Are Hyperfixated on Bass

CMF is finally done teasing its first pair of over-ear headphones. The company—which is, for now, a subbrand of Nothing—is launching the $99 Headphone Pro, an affordable pair of active noise cancellation headphones (ANC) with lots of buttons and a really sturdy battery life. Like I suspected, the 100-hour battery that CMF already teased doesn’t apply to playback with ANC like I had hoped, but if you’re listening sans ANC, the company says they’re rated for that length of listening. If you are l

I know how Google could make the perfect Pixel phones, but it’ll never happen

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Google recently announced the Pixel 10 series, and these phones excel on the software front. This includes seven years of updates, a slew of AI tricks, and some nifty Pixel-only features. However, Pixel phones tend to lag behind rivals on the hardware front in several ways. I have a pie-in-the-sky solution that would allow smartphone buyers to pair the best software with the best hardware. There’s just one problem: it almost certainly won’t happen. Say hello t

How to record a phone call on an iPhone

With iOS 26, Apple has expanded its native call recording feature with transcripts, Live Translation, summaries and tighter integration with Notes. It’s a more polished and useful tool than before, especially if you rely on your iPhone for interviews, meetings or important conversations. Call recording itself first arrived with iOS 18.1 in October 2024. The feature has always been region- and language-dependent, and that hasn’t changed. If it’s available where you live, you can capture calls di

20 Best iPhone 17 Cases and Accessories (2025)

A 45-Watt Charger Did you know your new iPhone can charge faster than ever? With a 40-watt charging adapter, you can get up to 50 percent in just 20 minutes. Your old charger will still be fine, but if you want the fastest speeds, I like this simple, no-frills charger from Anker. At 45W, it covers your bases and can even juice up a laptop like a MacBook Air. The prongs fold up, making it nice for travel, too. I tested it with the iPhone 17 Pro, and confirmed that the phone was receiving 35 wat
