theverge.com Bradley Iger 2025-08-21 17:00:31

It’s been more than a decade since Apple unveiled the original version of CarPlay. In that time, the system has become indispensable for countless drivers all over the world. But while new iterations of iOS have introduced user interface tweaks and some additional customization features, its basic functionality hasn’t advanced much since that announcement back in March 2014. This changes with the introduction of CarPlay Ultra. First shown at WWDC 2022 and now available on any iPhone 12 or newer

If only this Android camera powerhouse was easy to buy, I’d recommend it in a heartbeat

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-22 02:30:20

OPPO Find X8 Ultra The OPPO Find X8 Ultra is one of the best Android phones for photography and videography, but it's ultra difficult for most of us to find and purchase due to its regional exclusivity. I’ve been waiting a long time for this, but finally, I spent some time with the OPPO Find X8 Ultra. I was a big fan of the Find X8 Pro that preceded it, especially its camera capabilities, and the Ultra builds on that, so I was eager to give it a spin. Unfortunately, this is the Chinese model s

ZDNET's key takeaways The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra battery and inverter unit is available now for $6,299 while the Smart Home Panel 2 is available for $1,899. The single unit has a 6kWh capacity and supports a 7,200W output and 5.6kW solar input, allowing it to run an entire home, especially when stacked with other units for increased capacity. The Delta Pro Ultra is a decidedly expensive solution for a home backup system, and though portable, its hefty weight could affect portability. View now

Apple's CarPlay Ultra faces pushback as Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, and Renault opt out

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-08-26 01:09:00

In context: As the automotive industry shifts toward electric and autonomous vehicles, the battle for control of the dashboard – and the valuable data it generates – is heating up, with Apple making significant investments in the space. However, pushback from automakers suggests that the road to a fully Apple-powered cockpit will be slower and more contested than the company once envisioned.

Samsung could be ditching the S Pen as you know it — for a very good reason

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-27 09:18:03

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s already rumored to be adopting new, active S Pen tracking tech for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now a new report claims Samsung will use the same new system on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. While this would result in a thicker stylus, one side effect might be opening the door for Qi2 magnetic support. Modern smartphones may have the PDAs of yesteryear in their DNA, but over the past couple decades we’ve seen advancement after advancement take this hardware to

Google Pixel 10 leak points to some disappointing feature omissions

It could also miss out on the new “Ultra Res Zoom” feature and ultra-stable video recording. The base model Pixel 10 is shaping up to sound like a mixed bag of good news and bad news.

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter.
