Nearly 70% of iPhone users plan to upgrade to iPhone 17 - here's why (it's not AI)

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways More than 68% of iPhone users plan to upgrade to an iPhone 17. Battery life is the top reason cited for upgrading. The high price of a new iPhone is one reason for not upgrading. Will you be lining up to buy an iPhone 17 when the new phone debuts later this month? If so, you're in good company.

MrBeast’s Wackiest Challenge Yet: Launching a Phone Company

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-20 04:20:29

Globally popular social media star MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) is already estimated to be a billionaire, but he doesn’t seem to be satisfied with having made an obscene amount of money from YouTube videos. A new report claims that Beast plans to follow in the footsteps of Ryan Reynolds and get into the telecom business. Business Insider writes that Donaldson has been mulling launching his own phone company. Citing a leaked investor deck, the outlet reports that the company would be a “M

What Does 'Awe Dropping' Even Mean? Decoding Apple's iPhone 17 Event Announcement

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-20 03:00:05

Apple's big fall event is less than a week away, and we're still puzzling over the tagline and animated logo that accompanied invitations to the Sept. 9 "Awe dropping" gathering. Is the iconic Apple logo on fire? Does it portend a new heat-sensing feature of the Vision Pro that will make you feel like a Predator hunting prey through the jungle? Or maybe a designer at Apple just came up with a cool-looking effect and thought it would be fun to use it? Nah, the company has a history of enigmatic

Turns out it’s possible to get a Pixel 10 with a physical SIM slot in the US

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-20 08:36:12

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is reportedly sending out global Pixel 10 models with physical SIM slots as replacement units to users. These global models lack support for mmWave 5G. While some people are viewing this as an upgrade, others are concerned about connectivity issues. If you bought a Pixel 10, 10 Pro, or 10 Pro XL in the US, your phone came without a physical SIM slot. That’s the standard for US models of Google’s latest flagships. Instead of having a traditional

Latest Galaxy tri-fold rumor says the wait might be longer than we thought

TL;DR A new report from Korean media highlights a slightly different launch timeline for the Galaxy TriFold than previously rumored. It is reported that Samsung will unveil the dual-folding phone in October, with sales set to begin in November. Samsung reportedly plans to initially sell 50,000 units of the phone. The launch of the Samsung two-times folding phone, which is expected to be officially called “TriFold,” has been on the horizon for quite some time. Back in July, Android Authority e

This clever trick can help you find a lost or stolen Samsung phone. Here’s how it works

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-20 12:00:06

Joe Maring / Android Authority Losing your Android phone or having it stolen is never fun. While Google’s Find Hub can make the ordeal a lot less stressful, it isn’t a 100% foolproof solution to recovering a lost device. As with all things in life, having a backup plan is a good idea. In addition to Find Hub, lost Samsung phones also have the option of being found via Samsung’s SmartThings Find service.

I’d be more excited about the Pixel 10 Pro if it had this iPhone camera feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-20 13:00:07

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro sits in quite an awkward spot this year. The main differentiator between the standard Pixel and the Pro model has long been the third camera, but that gap closed with the Pixel 10 also rocking a three-cam setup this time. Getting a solid telephoto camera on a $200 cheaper phone already sabotages the 10 Pro’s position as the real ‘Pro’ for most people. Since Google’s phones are known for cameras — they are called Pixels after all — the Pixel 10

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that three upcoming Pro flagship phones will see notable battery capacity upgrades. It looks like the tipster is referring to the Xiaomi 16 Pro, vivo X300 Pro, and OPPO Find X9 Pro. The OPPO Find X9 Pro in particular could offer a 7,550mAh battery.

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don't call it an Android

After 10 generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.
