iOS 26 introduces higher quality screen recordings for iPhone and iPad

For the first time, iOS 26 will let you record the screen of your iPhone or iPad in its full resolution, resulting in higher-quality and better-looking screen captures. Screen recording was first introduced with iOS 11, finally providing an easy way to capture what’s on your screen without using a computer. Since then, the resolution of those recordings has been limited to a maximum of 1920px in either height or width. This means that all modern iPhones have recorded at 884×1920, which on an iP

What Are AI Hallucinations? Why Chatbots Make Things Up, and What You Need to Know

If you've used ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, Claude, Perplexity or any other generative AI tool, you've probably seen them make things up with complete confidence. This is called an AI hallucination -- although one research paper suggests we call it BS instead -- and it's an inherent flaw that should give us all pause when using AI. Hallucinations happen when AI models generate information that looks plausible but is false, misleading or entirely fabricated. It can be as small as a wrong date i

The Biden-Era Plan to Pay Travelers for Airline-Caused Delays Is Dead

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted. His past few years in non-Tesla activities include: buying and renaming Twitter; going all in on President Donald Trump’s election campaign and then an obscure Wisconsin Supreme Court race; a lot of babymaking, plus attendant drama; and months spent standing up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, Tesla sales have slid as the electric-car maker faces fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers and rej

Samsung leak reveals how you’ll be opening and closing its dual-hinge foldable

TL;DR A new animation for Samsung’s multi-fold foldable has leaked. The animation shows how the device will open and close. It also appears to show that users will be able to take selfies with the rear cameras. Samsung debuted the Galaxy S25 FE this week, but that’s not the last smartphone the company is expected to announce this year. The tech giant also has a multi-fold device, popularly but misleadingly called a “tri-fold,” due later this year. Last week, a few 2D animations related to the

Anthropic Agrees to $1.5 Billion Settlement for Downloading Pirated Books to Train AI

Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by authors and publishers over its use of millions of copyrighted books to train the models for its AI chatbot Claude, according to a legal filing posted online. A federal judge found in June that Anthropic’s use of 7 million pirated books was protected under fair use but that holding the digital works in a “central library” violated copyright law. The judge ruled that executives at the company knew they were downloading pirat

Broadcom stock jumps 9% on new $10 billion customer that analysts say is OpenAI

Analysts at Mizuho, Cantor Fitzgerald and KeyBanc all said they think AI startup OpenAI is the customer. The Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the partnership, that the two companies co-designed a chip that will hit the market next year. "One of these prospects released production orders to Broadcom, and we have accordingly characterized them as a qualified customer for XPUs," Tan said. He added that the order increased Broadcom's forecast for AI revenue next yea

Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5 billion to settle authors' copyright lawsuit

Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a class action lawsuit with a group of authors, who claimed the artificial intelligence startup had illegally accessed their books. The company will pay roughly $3,000 per book plus interest, and agreed to destroy the datasets containing the allegedly pirated material, according to a filing on Friday. The lawsuit against Anthropic has been closely watched by AI startups and media companies that have been trying to determine what copyr

iOS 26 adds (and removes) CarPlay wallpaper options

Apple has changed up the wallpaper collection on CarPlay in iOS 26 Several new options have been added. The update also removes many of the existing wallpaper options that were still hanging around from older iOS versions. CarPlay in iOS 26 includes nine wallpaper choices. Each wallpaper changes its appearance for light and dark mode, creating 18 possible options. CarPlay previously featured a variety of wallpaper styles, including versions based on iPhone default wallpapers from over the year

19 of the Absolute Best Sci-Fi TV Shows on Prime Video

Prime Video has sci-fi TV shows you're looking for. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but stick with me here. You're probably used to finding the must-watch genre shows at places like Netflix, Disney Plus and even Apple TV Plus. Those streaming services are packed with good stuff, but the Amazon-owned streamer should not be slept on. When it comes to programming, each streamer seems to have a specific brand that their shows adhere to. For Prime Video, that vibe is cutting-edge, forward-thinkin

Trump threatens trade probe after 'discriminatory' EU fines against Google, Apple

US President Donald Trump during a dinner with tech leaders in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to launch a trade investigation to "nullify" what he said were discriminatory fines being levied by Europe against U.S. tech firms such as Google and Apple . "We cannot let this happen to brilliant and unprecedented American Ingenuity and, if it does, I will be forced to start a Section 301 proceed

Elon Musk's New Optimus Robot Demo Is So Painful It Will Make You Wince

Hot off of proudly announcing that he had replaced 4,000 people with AI at his company, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff posted a video of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, calling it a "productivity game-changer." However, going by the 52-second clip, the carmaker has a long way to go until it can successfully have AI-powered bipedal robots replace human jobs. Is this really what will make up a whopping 80 percent of Tesla's value, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised in a tweet earlier this week? In an

YouTube TV is offering a hidden $66 discount — here’s how to get it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden YouTube TV promotion is offering to take $33 off your monthly bill. The promotion lasts for two months, meaning you can save $66. You’ll need to use a web browser to access the promotion. Earlier this year, YouTube TV raised its subscription price from $72.99 to $82.99. But before this price hike went live, the service offered a six-month-long price lock that allowed users to delay paying that additional $10 per month. While that promotion h

Microsoft now enforces MFA on Azure Portal sign-ins for all tenants

Microsoft says it has been enforcing multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure Portal sign-ins across all tenants since March 2025. The company's Azure MFA enforcement efforts were announced in May 2024 when Redmond began implementing mandatory MFA for all users signing into Azure to administer resources. One year ago, in August 2024, Microsoft also warned Entra global admins to enable MFA for their tenants by October 15, 2024, to ensure users don't lose access to admin portals. After comple

EU Fines Google $3.45B for Giving Its Ad Tech Preferential Treatment

Google faces a $3.45 billion fine from the European Union for engaging in anticompetitive advertising technology practices, the European Commission said Friday. The fine stems from a complaint by the European Publishers Council alleging Google gave preference to its own online ad display services, hurting competitors and online publishers. The European Commission wants Google to stop these self-preferential practices and to cease its conflicts of interest. The Commission says it'll give Google,

Ignoring Trump threats, Europe hits Google with 2.95B euro fine for adtech monopoly

Google may have escaped the most serious consequences in its most recent antitrust fight with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), but the European Union is still gunning for the search giant. After a brief delay, the European Commission has announced a substantial 2.95 billion euro ($3.45 billion) fine relating to Google's anti-competitive advertising practices. This is not Google's first big fine in the EU, and it probably won't be the last, but it's the first time European leaders could face b

Civilization VII team at Firaxis Games faces layoffs

Firaxis Games, the studio that developed Civilization VII, is undergoing layoffs. The news went public when a former employee took to LinkedIn to announce her unemployment; Game Developer picked the story up, and publisher 2K Games soon confirmed it. "We can confirm there was a staff reduction today at Firaxis Games, as the studio restructures and optimizes its development process for adaptability, collaboration, and creativity," a spokesperson wrote to multiple news outlets. The company did no

Personalized AI companion app Dot is shutting down

Dot, an AI companion app that aimed to be a friend and confidante, is shutting down, the company announced on Friday. On a message published on its website, the startup behind Dot, New Computer, said that the product will remain operational until October 5, giving users time to download their data. Launched in 2024 by co-founders Sam Whitmore and former Apple designer Jason Yuan, Dot waded into what’s now become a more controversial area for AI chatbots. The app they created was described as an

Apple's iOS 26 release date is coming up: Check to see if your iPhone is compatible for the update

We're only a few days away Apple's iPhone 17 event, which the company has dubbed "awe dropping" and scheduled for Tuesday, September 9. If all goes as expected, we should get to download iOS 26 and iPad 26 about a week later. Coming with those OS updates are substantial updates to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems. You may have already heard about "Liquid Glass," which (intentional or not) is sort of like Apple's take on the old Windows Vista design language. That's the most notable chan

EU fines Google $3.5 billion over adtech antitrust violations

The European Commission has announced that it will fine Google €2.95 billion, or around $3.5 billion, for violating European Union antitrust laws and "distorting competition in the advertising technology industry." The decision follows a similar ruling from earlier in 2025, where a US federal judge concluded that Google maintains a monopoly in online advertising technology. Google displays ads in search results, but it also has a dominant position as a software provider for online advertisers a

‘Foundation’ Just Lowered the Boom

Season three of Foundation is nearly at its end, and the galaxy is in deep trouble. We’ve long known the fall of Empire would usher in a long period of darkness, something the Foundation was set up hundreds of years ago to try and mitigate. But while the end seems certain, exactly how it’ll come about has not yet been clear. The villainous Mule is certainly helping nudge things along… but might another doom-bringing element also emerge? “The Paths That Choose Us,” the ninth and penultimate epis

Broadcom stock jumps 11% on new $10 billion customer that analysts say is OpenAI

Analysts at Mizuho, Cantor Fitzgerald and KeyBanc all said they think AI startup OpenAI is the customer.

iOS 26: Everything you need to know about the iPhone update ahead of the Apple event next week

Get ready: The Apple iPhone 17 event is on Tuesday, September 9, which is less than a week away. (Here's how you can watch the iPhone 17 launch on YouTube.) We'll finally get the details on the new iPhone 17 lineup — and, assuming Apple sticks to tradition, that means we should be able to install iOS 26 about a week or so after the event. But you don't have to wait to test out the new features, since you can download and install the newly released public beta 6 or iOS 26 developer beta 9 for de

Purposeful animations

When done right, animations make an interface feel predictable, faster, and more enjoyable to use. They help you and your product stand out. But they can also do the opposite. They can make an interface feel unpredictable, slow, and annoying. They can even make your users lose trust in your product. So how do you know when and how to animate to improve the experience? Step one is making sure your animations have a purpose. Purposeful animations Before you start animating, ask yourself: what

Forget Open Earbuds, It’s All About Open Headphones Now

I’m a big fan of open audio, but not everyone loves the earbud form factor. Despite how comfortable some of the entrants in the open-ear audio space may be—Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds and Nothing’s Ear Open are particularly comfy—sometimes you just want a pair of more traditional over-ear headphones, whether for ergonomics or more stability on your head. The problem is, if you want to combine the two (headphones and open-ear audio, that is), you’re not exactly flush with options. JLab, however, pl
