Cameo’s birthday reminder app, Candl, is a weak attempt at a comeback

Around this time last year, Cameo hit a significant low point. Its valuation dropped by at least 90%, and the company’s dire financial situation meant it was unable to pay a $600,000 fine from the FTC. Now, the company behind the celebrity greeting app is exploring a new, albeit somewhat dull, avenue for growth. On Thursday, Cameo announced the launch of Candl, a birthday planning app designed for forgetful users who want to celebrate their friends’ birthdays without being late to the party. I

My Galaxy phone was missing this crucial Contacts feature, but I found a workaround

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority There aren’t many tasks the latest Android phones can’t assist with, which makes it all the stranger when you discover some fundamental functionality missing. This happened to me recently, when I finally got around to cleaning up my contacts list. The chore would be made a whole lot easier if I could sort my contacts by the date I added them, but I realized that this isn’t something you can do. When this issue comes up online, people usually want to look up re

This iOS 26 change could make it Apple’s most surprising update yet

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months. The iOS 26 strategy shift Apple’s change in strategy was clearly driven by what happened at WWDC 2024 and during the subsequent iOS 18 cycle. The company pre-announced major new features for Siri, but failed to actually deliver those features. But iOS

How to clear your iPhone cache (and why it greatly improves the performance)

What is cache? Cache -- or browser cache -- is the temporary storage of website files. So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: Every iPhone model that can be updated to iOS 26 (and which ones don't support it) Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down. That's why it's smart to clear your browser cache regularly. In this art

Meta offered Apple’s head of foundation models more than $200M to jump ship

Earlier this week, Ruoming Pang, the executive who until recently led Apple’s AI models team, left the company to join Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL.

Microsoft Authenticator on iOS moves backups fully to iCloud

Microsoft is rolling out a new backup system in September for its Authenticator app on iOS, removing the requirement to use a Microsoft personal account to back up TOTP secrets and account names. Previously, the Microsoft Authenticator app required iOS users to sign in with a personal Microsoft Account to enable backups, regardless of whether they were using the app for personal or enterprise credentials. This created problems in enterprise environments where organizations often like to keep p

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration. But I am interested in single-core random access perfor

Report: Apple M4, more comfortable strap will headline first major Vision Pro update

Apple hasn't iterated on its Vision Pro hardware since launching it in early 2024 for $3,499, opting instead to refine the headset with a steady stream of software updates.
