The Trump Phone Looks Like This. No, Wait, It Looks Like This

Trump Mobile has teased its T1 Phone once again, saying, "The wait is almost over!" The question is, what exactly are we waiting for?

A Trump Mobile Instagram post shows what appears to be an iPhone 16 Pro Max with a gold finish and a US flag. A post on X (and another on Instagram) shows what looks a lot like a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Both de

iOS 26: Everything to know about Apple's upcoming iPhone and iPad updates

TL;DR Google is bringing a new feature to transfer eSIM from iPhone to Android. The feature is expected to work both ways, allowing a seamless migration of profiles.

While the new phones bring some welcome improvements like Pixelsnap, a more efficient chipset, and a host of new AI features, there’s one grim change that could rile up folks

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26 at WWDC, I rushed to install the developer beta on my M4 iPad Pro. And for the first time in years, it felt like Apple was finally putting iPad users first. We got features we’ve been asking for since iPadOS split from iOS: a fresh new look, Mac-like windowing, a smarter Files app, and more. But what surprised me wasn’t the iPad Pro experience.

iPhone 17 Pro case line may have new leather alternative after flawed FineWoven

It’s been a while since Apple dropped leather and replaced it with FineWoven — only to mostly drop FineWoven over customer feedback. Now leaker Majin Bu says Apple has yet another leather alternative ready to go for the iPhone 17 case lineup.

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time. A hardware control was something I’d wished for pri
