Kids have sticky fingers. If they touch your iPhone, expect smudges on your camera lens. That means the next time you take a photo, the pic might have a weird haze about it, and you'll have to take the photo multiple times. It's not always your kids' fault either. Even adults can be to blame for a dirty camera lens. Luckily, with the iOS 26 beta there is a feature that can warn you when your camera lens needs cleaning, that way you don't waste a perfectly good sunset or other Instagrammable mome

Sony just locked one of the best Xperia features behind a paywall

Sony TL;DR Sony has recently updated its Monitor & Control app, which lets you control your Sony camera using a smartphone. With the update, Sony is locking high-resolution monitoring over USB behind a paywall. This update also limits USB video feeds to top-tier Sony Xperia phones.

Kuo reiterates Touch ID in the iPhone Fold; unlikely to be in-display

Kerry Wan/ZDNET No, your eyes are not deceiving you. For a limited time, Amazon has the iPhone 16 Pro, unlocked and all, listing at a $255 discount. That brings the flagship iPhone down to around $745, from its retail price of $1,000. Is there a catch? When you're buying outside of the Apple store, there almost always is. Fortunately, this one's a little easier to shoulder: the discounted model is in "renewed" condition, a refurbish standard placed by Amazon that indicates that while the phone

Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack doesn’t just stick to iPhones now

We all miss Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack and want to see it return. In the meantime, the old magnetic battery accessory has resurfaced in an unlikely place. Apple introduced MagSafe as part of the iPhone 12 lineup, mainstreaming magnetically attached accessories and vastly improving wireless charging performance with precision alignment.
