iPhone 17 release date, iOS 26 features and everything else to know about Apple's upcoming lineup

August is almost over, which means we're getting closer to the Apple iPhone event — it usually takes place in mid-September. That also means we'll finally get to officially lay eyes on the iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we (presumably) still have to wait a few weeks until the iPhone event, we can only speculate what the new devices will look like. As with most u

At This Point, It’s Impossible to Know What the Trump Phone Looks Like

It's been over two months since Trump Mobile announced the T1 Phone was being “Made in the USA” designed “with American values in mind,” and it seems that anyone deciding to preorder it still can’t be sure exactly what phone they might receive. In posts on X and Instagram on Wednesday, the Trump Mobile account encouraged followers to place their preorder, promising them that “the wait is almost over.” This was joined by an image that looks nothing like the one of the T1 phone that's currently o

The Best Google Pixel Phones of 2025, Tested and Reviewed: Which Model to Buy, Cases and Accessories, Feature Drops

You get all the same software features as the Pixel 9 series, but there are some extras to take advantage of all the screens. Made You Look, for example, plays a cute animation on the outer screen to make sure your kiddo stares at it when you're trying to capture a photo. When you're on a Google Meet call, you can now utilize all the screens so that everyone around you can see the person you're speaking with, and that means using all the cameras too, so the person on the other end doesn't have t

Clues to Apple's Next TV Box Point to Big Video Game Possibilities

Trump Mobile’s latest T1 phone teaser fails to hide an epic Photoshop blunder

Trump Mobile TL;DR Trump Mobile is now advertising a new design for its upcoming T1 smartphone. If it looks familiar, that is because the team has now picked up the Galaxy S25 Ultra to showcase the design. Funnily, the image now used by Trump Mobile hides a logo from casemaker Spigen, suggesting the former lifted off media from the latter’s catalog. Trump Mobile can’t stick to a single phone design for its trumpeted phone, which is set to launch in the US next month. After recently showcasin

Google exec explains what makes Pixel better than Nexus

TL;DR A Google executive has outlined one specific reason why the Pixel program was better than its Nexus phone initiative. The executive confirmed that multi-year ideas were easier to develop with Pixels as Google wasn’t switching partners each year. He also pointed to Tensor chips as an example of an ambitious, years-long project under the Pixel banner. Google has offered Pixel phones since 2016, featuring an in-house approach to most of these smartphones. Prior to this, the company offered

The best photo editing software of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

Trump Mobile is promoting its smartphone with terribly edited photos of other brands' products

Since it was announced in June, Trump Mobile has committed to an increasingly-surreal smoke-and-mirrors approach to its promised T1 smartphone. Despite the initial claims that the phone would be made in the United States, it seemed highly unlikely from the start that it was accurate. The "Made in USA" claims were quietly removed from the Trump Mobile website at a later date. AppleInsider spotted the latest bizarre wrinkle to this story, which is that the actual phone still does not exist. The p

The Best Gaming Headsets for Xbox, PS5, and PC (2025)

Microphones are common on most headphones and earbuds, but on gaming-specific headsets you're more likely to find boom mics sticking out from one of the ears. These tend to provide better audio quality, as well as a few other features you may want to consider when buying a new headset. The first is a visual indicator for whether your mic is muted. I know that sounds a little funny, but it serves a dual purpose of letting you know that you're being heard when you're talking, and also ensuring yo

Here’s how Google Photo’s new Tinder-like swiping feature works (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is getting a swiping mechanism to keep or delete photos, and we got it working. With this, you will be able to weed out unwanted photos by swiping left on them. It currently lets you keep or delete images and videos from daily or monthly clusters in the Google Photos app. Among the many reasons to use Google Photos is the ease of backing up valuable memories to Drive and accessing them across multiple devices. But enabling automatic upl

Apple iPhone 17 launch date is rumored for September: Everything to know about the newest lineup

Here are all the Android phones that support Qi2

The Qi2 wireless charging spec was originally announced back in early 2023. However, Android phone makers haven’t exactly been rushing to add Qi2 support to their latest devices since then. That’s made finding a compatible handset rather difficult, which is a bummer for anyone who has seen the wealth of accessories and power banks that iPhone owners have had access to for several generations. On top of faster charging speeds (up to 25 watts or higher in later revisions), Qi2 dictates the inclus

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Foldables Should Look Like the Microsoft Surface Duo

Google almost got it right with the first Pixel Fold. As Google unveils its latest foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, at this year's Made by Google event, I keep thinking about the original Pixel Fold. Released in 2023, it was far from a perfect phone. It was underpowered, had a thick inner bezel and couldn't open completely flat. Even then, it was a beautiful device with a shiny stainless steel chassis that felt substantial in the hand. Not only that, it was wide. The passport-like form factor m

What makes the Headphone 1 unique is their retro-transparent design that Nothing introduced with the Phone 1. Similar to other high-end headphones, they suppo

AT&T Promo Code: Get Up to $200 in August

Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days

Switching from iPhone to Pixel 10? It’ll soon be easier to transfer your eSIM (APK teardown)

TL;DR Google is bringing a new feature to transfer eSIM from iPhone to Android. The feature is expected to work both ways, allowing a seamless migration of profiles. It only works with devices running iOS 26, and is unlikely to work with iPhones running older firmware. Google just unveiled the Pixel 10 series officially. While the new phones bring some welcome improvements like Pixelsnap, a more efficient chipset, and a host of new AI features, there’s one grim change that could rile up folks

Rather, this update focuses on “important security fixes.” Here are Apple’s release
