The results were announced today at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Gear News This Week: Adobe Wants to Make iPhone Photos Better, and TCL Brings Flexibility to Atmos

The brains behind the computational photography that vaulted Google's Pixel phone camera to fame have a new camera app for you to try, this time from Adobe. Marc Levoy and Florian Kainz left Google several years ago, and Adobe's Project Indigo seems to be the fruit of their labor.

iPhones and iPads now come with EU energy labels, here’s what they reveal

If you live in the European Union and visit Apple’s website today, you’ll notice a new information snippet alongside iPhones and iPads: colorful energy labels grading each model’s efficiency, durability, and repairability. This change isn’t voluntary, but rather Apple’s compliance with a new EU regulation that just went into effect. The new labels assign each device a grade from A to G for energy efficiency and durability factors, including impact resistance and repairability. But Apple being

Cracovians: The Twisted Twins of Matrices

Linear algebra is typically explained using matrices. But matrix theory is just one possible perspective. Below, I describe an alternative approach to linear algebra. Tadeusz Banachiewicz (1882–1954), a Polish astronomer living in Krakow, was passionate about calculating machines. From the 1920s, Banachiewicz developed a method for computations on tables of numbers, which was particularly easy to perform with arithmometers. In honor of Krakow, Banachiewicz named these computational objects crac

Rumor: Two new colors competing for the iPhone 17 base model

According to leaker Majin Bu, Apple is experimenting with two new colors for this year’s iPhone 17 base models, but only one might make it to launch. And if the current internal scuttlebutt is anything to go by, there seems to be a frontrunner. Purple vs. Green Bu’s sources say that Purple and Green are currently in development for the aluminum-framed iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus, but Apple will likely pick just one of them for the final lineup this fall. And Purple is in the lead. As the lea

Latest Starship Explosion Drastically Decreases SpaceX's Chances of Reaching Mars Without Having to Wait Years

"One of the toughest problems to solve." With tech billionaire Elon Musk out of the White House after his disastrous turn as a bureaucrat, he can now focus on more pressing subjects — such as his SpaceX Starship rockets that keep on exploding into fiery columns of fire, with the latest dramatic failure this past Wednesday in Texas, when the massive spacecraft hadn't even left the ground yet. This recent setback ratchets up the pressure on Musk even further, who faces a hard deadline and steep

Yet another Android brand is copying the iPhone’s Action button

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple replaced the mute switch with a customizable Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro models. OnePlus recently copied this move and replaced its iconic alert slider with a customizable button on the OnePlus 13s. Another Android brand could soon follow suit and add a customizable button on an upcoming phone. After including a silent switch on every iPhone model since the original, Apple dropped it in favor of a customizable button starting with the iPhone

Leaker doubles down on two key display changes for the iPhone 18 Pro

If you were hoping Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro models would shake up their physical screen sizes, you can extra-officially temper your expectations. But that doesn’t mean the 2026 lineup won’t bring significant shifts in how the front of the iPhone looks. Here’s what may be coming. A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo today says the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will stick with the same display sizes as the current iPhone 16 Pro series: roughly 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.

SpaceX's String of Starship Failures Continues With Massive Rocket Explosion

SpaceX's ongoing mission to prepare Starship spacecraft for trips to the moon and, eventually, Mars suffered a setback when a spacecraft exploded this week in South Texas. The explosion happened during what SpaceX called routine testing in preparation for Starship's 10th flight since 2023, which was expected to happen later this month. SpaceX uses a different rocket design to launch its Starlink internet satellites. On X, the space company wrote, "On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m

Follow These Expert Tips to Store Your Electric Yard Equipment the Right Way This Summer

Summer is here, and that means it's finally time to enjoy your garden once again. But getting the most out of your outdoor space means maintaining it, and that means having the right tools.

You need to make sure that your tools are ready when you need them, and that means doing more than just throwing them into a shed and f

‘Major Anomaly’ Behind Latest SpaceX Starship Explosion

Musk wrote that the nitrogen COPV appears to have failed below its proof pressure, within conditions that should not have damaged the tank. "If further investigation confirms that this is what happened, it is the first time ever for this design," Musk added. Picking Up the Pieces Earlier Wednesday, just hours before the late-night explosion at Starbase, an advisory released by the Federal Aviation Administration showed SpaceX had set June 29 as a tentative launch date for the next Starship tes

Why I recommend this power bank to most iPhone users - especially if you travel often

ZDNET's key takeaways The Nitecore NW5000 has an ultralight and ultrathin design that blends into the iPhone. It has a 5,000mAh capacity that's just enough to fully charge any iPhone model (and some more). You'll have to pay a premium for this accessory, but its build quality justifies it. $69.95 at Amazon I find that rather than complaining about the iPhone's poor battery life, I prefer to do something about it. This is why my iPhone is almost always rocking with a magnetic power bank attach

Arma 3 and War Thunder clips are being passed off as real airstrike footage in the Iran - Israel conflict

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust Facepalm: It seems that wherever there is war in the world, there will also be clips of video games that people claim are real footage. Once again, this form of propaganda involves old favorites Arma 3 and War Thunder, with the Middle East conflict helping increase the spread. Following Israel's surprise airstrikes on Iranian targets on June 13, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps posted a cl

The iPad Is Almost a Mac Now. Time to Finish the Job

What's a computer? It's whatever helps me get my work done. I love new ideas for what computers can be, but traditional work tools still win out. For my job, it's generally a PC or Mac. When I travel, an iPad is often convenient, but it's not the same, so I often bring both. The "why not both" approach is exactly what Apple has been pitching with iPads and Macs for years, but Apple has also been adamant that these platforms will never merge. I remember the stage announcement that said as much b

iPhone 16E Specs vs. Google Pixel 8A: How Apple and Google's Lower-Cost Phones Match Up

Google's A-series Pixel handsets are typically budget-friendly, but currently the cheapest Google goes is $499 for the Pixel 9A. If you do want all of Google's flagship features and are comfortable with getting a used or refurbished device, you could check out last year's Pixel 8A which is going for under $300 in the secondary market. Strangely, Google is currently selling the Pixel 8A for the same price as the Pixel 9A, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new version of the Pixel 8A. A sub-$300

8 things I want to see on the Pixel 10 series

Joe Maring / Android Authority Given the rumored earlier launch date of August this year, the Pixel 10 series is right around the corner. As is customary with every Google product, the leaks are really starting to ramp up as we get closer to the release. Up to now, all the tidbits of info we’ve seen are pointing to an iterative update with no meaningful changes to the design, except perhaps a slightly bigger camera bar on the back. While they might not look that different from their predecesso

MIT brain scans suggest that using GenAI tools reduces cognitive activity

Why it matters: As the use of generative AI becomes increasingly common in education, law, politics, media, and other fields, many worry that reliance on the technology may reduce cognitive independence. A recent study from MIT strongly supports this concern, indicating that the use of digital tools significantly alters brain activity. The newly published paper explains that as participants in an experiment wrote a series of essays, electronic brain monitoring revealed substantially weaker conn

Apple’s push in India continues: Foxconn to start making iPhone casings in the country

After years of focusing mainly on iPhone assembly, the Taiwanese contract manufacturing giant is now preparing to build iPhone casings locally for the first time. Here’s why that matters. According to a new report from The Economic Times, Foxconn is setting up a new unit at the ESR Industrial Park in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, focused specifically on making metal casings for iPhones.

Adobe just released an iPhone camera app with full manual controls

For photography enthusiasts, the prosumer camera app market has had no shortage of great options, with longtime favorites like Halide from Lux leading the pack.

iPhone 'Flip': The Apple Foldable Is Still Rumored To Come in 2026

We're half a decade into foldable phones, with plenty of devices from Samsung, Google and Motorola (as well as others from Oppo, Huawei and more) for consumers to choose between. Yet among big phone makers, only Apple still lacks one in its lineup. The latest flexible-screen devices, like the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Motorola Razr Plus reboot and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold show mature designs and robust bending displays, leaving the foldables niche handily dominated by Android devices.
