There's also an interactive element when you view the invite on Apple.com. With a finge

About to Buy a New iPhone? Here's Why You Should Definitely Wait

If you're ready to upgrade your iPhone, you might want to hang tight. Apple's fall event is happening on Tuesday, during which it's expected to debut the iPhone 17 lineup. So if you wait just a bit longer, you can either score the latest device or get a discount on previous models. Preorders for new iPhones typically open up the Friday after they're announced, meaning you'll likely be able to place an order for the iPhone 17 starting Sept. 12. The phones usually ship a week later. Watch this:

Today’s best camera phones irritate me for one silly reason

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The best camera phones have a range of features that make them appealing, from their great performance to their large displays. Powerful cameras are no longer limited to the most expensive phones either, with more pricing tiers introducing multi-lens setups with impressive specs. But as I’ve experimented with different devices, especially those that don’t come with a case in the box, I am noticing an annoying issue. When you try to use these phones on a flat sur

Buy the iPhone 16 or wait for iPhone 17? My advice after years of phone reviews

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.

A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

Apple could reintroduce iPhone mini thanks to this recent lineup change, here’s how

In 2020, Apple surprised a lot of people by re-entering a neglected segment of the smartphone market: small phones. With iPhone 12 mini, Apple did something fairly special, by squeezing all of the same technologies of the iPhone 12 into a 5.4-inch form factor. Unfortunately, it didn’t live for too long, but thanks to a recent lineup change, a new window might’ve opened for its resurgence. iPhone mini history The iPhone mini ultimately lived a 2 year life. There was the iPhone 12 mini, then a s

Please, ‘Highlander’ Reboot, Don’t Waste Djimon Hounsou

The upcoming Highlander movie continues to build out its cast: after recently nabbing Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, we’ve got another Marvel alum in Djimon Hounsou. Per the Hollywood Reporter, Hounsou will play an immortal African warrior and presumably cross paths with either Henry Cavill’s Connor MacLeod or Bautista’s villainous Kurgen. We really don’t know much about this movie, save for director Chad Stahelski’s aim to expand upon the mythology from the pre

These are the 5 best budget camera phones we recommend

We can thank the Google Tensor G4 chipset for making imaging so special in this budget phone. After all, computational photography is what has made the Google Pixel phones so good in mobile photography. The good news is this processing doesn’t change much from phone to phone, as it is all software enhancements. Of course, hardware matters too. The Pixel 9a comes with a 48MP main sensor, which may seem like a downgrade from the Pixel 8a’s 64MP sensor, but photo quality is not always about megapi

Gemini for Home isn’t enough to revive Google’s forgotten Nest speakers

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google Nest speakers are neat little utility tools that let you holler at Google Assistant anywhere in the house — add something to your shopping list before it slips your mind or run the Roomba in a certain room. They’re so handy that a lot of us just grab Nest Minis by the dozen and place them across our homes so that we can call Assistant from literally anywhere. However, Google’s home efforts have been stagnant for a few years, to the point where they’ve

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m your average techie millennial who saw the dotcom bubble burst and was around when many of the OG services of the internet era simply vanished. Let’s just say, watching favorites like GeoCities and Launchcast go bust was a big motivation for me to start self-hosting my most-used services as soon as I was able to. Initially, it was mostly curiosity and tinkering. That changed over time. Today, self-hosting for me is equal parts habit, convenience, and once-i

Apple plans to release iPhone 17 and more at the 'Awe Dropping' event September 9: Here's everything to expect

We're now just days away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on

Apple faces lawsuit over alleged use of pirated books for AI training

Two authors have filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of infringing on their copyright by using their books to train its artificial intelligence model without their consent. The plaintiffs, Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson, claimed that Apple used a dataset of pirated copyrighted books that include their works for AI training. They said in their complaint that Applebot, the company's scraper, can "reach 'shadow libraries'" made up of unlicensed copyrighted books, including (on

I've Heard the iPhone 17 Air Rumors, and I Don't Get the Hype

Apple recently sent out invitations to an "awe-dropping" special event on Sept. 9, which is widely presumed to be its annual iPhone announcement extravaganza. Rumors about the upcoming iPhone lineup have been circulating for months now, with leaks dropping as early as last year. One of the most well-circulated rumors is that, in addition to the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple will also introduce a brand-new ultra-thin model called the iPhone 17 Air. I'm in the market for a n

I Made My iPhone a Little Bit Dumber and It's Made My Life So Much Better

It's not every day that you get to upgrade your phone, and I was so excited to trade in my well-loved but outdated iPhone 11 last fall for a brand new iPhone 16. I was ready to channel my inner photographer with the nicer cameras, not worry too much about charging it every night thanks to better battery life and -- very exciting to me -- to have a phone in a new Barbie pink color. But what I didn't expect is that one new addition would threaten to ruin my entire experience with my brand new phon

Scientists Boast That Their AI-Powered Stethoscope Only Fails Two-Thirds of the Time

A team of researchers in the UK say their AI-powered stethoscope can detect three different heart conditions in just 15 seconds. It's also, they readily admit, horrendously inaccurate. Placed over the chest, the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity. Then, all that info is packaged and sent "securely" to the c

Galaxy S25 vs Galaxy S25 FE: 4 reasons why the cheaper one isn’t worth it

With every passing year, the Galaxy S25 FE has been inching closer to the main high-end lineup, both in features and price. They share the same software with One UI 8, boast top-notch build quality, have great displays, top-tier IP ratings, and whatnot. But what started as a solid mid-tier phone that felt like a flagship without the flagship money is now becoming a less enticing deal. With the gap bridging, there are more reasons to spend that extra cash on the standard Galaxy S25 to get a bett

Google Pixel 10 review: The best of Pixel without the fuss

Google Pixel 10 Google has struck a great balance between its baseline and Pro-tier flagships with the Pixel 10. While it doesn't have absolutely everything found in its bigger siblings, the more flexible camera package, new AI tools, great design, and faster processor make for a compact flagship phone with few compromises. Best of all, it still costs the same as last year. The Pixel 10 really is one of the best phones Google has ever made. For my daily driver, I typically pick a hulking great
