Adobe Premiere video editor coming to iPhone as a free app

Adobe Premiere Pro users will be happy to hear there’s an iPhone app launching later this month, which the company is promising will be closer to the capabilities of its desktop app than the cut-down Premiere Rush app. The company will also be hoping to attract those who are newer to video editing on iPhone, in order to create a potential new market for the desktop app … Premiere Pro is a popular choice for filmmaking and videography pros, so the availability of an iPhone app comes as good new

TCL's new smartphone uses the latest version of its eye-comfort screen tech

TCL is showcasing a new phone at IFA 2025. A late entrant to the modern mobile market, the company tries to differentiate its devices with NXTPAPER eye-comfort screen tech. The new NXTPAPER 60 Ultra is TCL's first phone to feature the latest version of that technology, which it first introduced in a tablet at CES 2025. The idea behind NXTPAPER is to strike a balance between e-paper and OLED screens, alleviating eye strain without sacrificing color range or refresh rates. Its hardware-level feat

TCL’s New Phone Is What You Want if You Stare Too Long at Screens

TCL, the company whose bread and butter is putting giant TVs in living rooms for relatively cheap, seems to understand many of us are tired of looking at screens. The company’s new phone promises to offer all the peak features mobile buyers expect with a display that can become an e-reader with the flip of a switch. And before you ask—no, sorry—you can’t buy it in the U.S. Announced at IFA 2025, the NXTPaper 60 Ultra is the sequel to last year’s budget 50 NXTPaper phone. The phone’s main raison

No, Your iPhone Isn't Listening to You. Here's What's Really Happening

The bartender's first hoot is so clean and high-pitched it sounds piped in from the ceiling speakers — a single whooo that slices through the post-punk and clinking glassware. My friend Michael jolts on his barstool, beer sloshing dangerously close to the rim. "Did you hear that owl?" he whispers. "Not an owl," I say, matter-of-factly, wiping condensation from my glass before it drips onto the bar. The bartender, in his mid-30s with slicked-back hair and an immaculate black apron, lets out ano

Is Apple Coming for Our Homes? All the Rumored Smart Home Products Ahead of This Month's Event

For the past year, reports have made it clear that Apple is planning to release its own line of devices for smart home and home security. The only question is when. With Apple's big "awe-dropping" fall event only days away, it's time to start hoping. On Sept. 9, we'll see the new iPhone 17, a new Apple Watch and probably new AirPods, too. But Apple may also make a surprise announcement about a security camera, smart display and more home tech. Could it be too early for the rumors to come true?

12 Kitchen Items That Your Dishwasher Will Destroy

Whether you're breaking in a new dishwasher or you're a veteran of automated cleaning, the urge to cram everything inside and hit start is real. Hold up before you toss every utensil and blade onto those racks. Those scorching temperatures and intense wash cycles can wreak havoc on your best kitchen gear. Think warping, rust, cracks, and dull edges -- even items marked "dishwasher-safe" aren't immune. Yes, that means some of your most expensive tools are at risk too. So before you run that nex

iPhone 17 colors leak points to vibrant orange for Pro

We’re five days out from Apple’s iPhone 17 event, which means the last-minute leaks are more likely to be accurate. That’s good news for fans of the rumored orange iPhone… Reliable leaker Sonny Dickson has shared shots of purported Camera Control buttons for iPhone 17 hardware. One image shows yellow, green, blue, pink, and black hardware. Another shows a darker blue, silver, and a vibrant orange that looks a lot like the shade of orange used on the Apple Watch Ultra Action button. If these c

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may ape the iPhone 17’s biggest design change

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. At least one phone in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 range may look a little different to what we were expecting, and a lot more like Apple’s iPhone 17 series. That’s going by a photo of dummy phones shared by leaker and journalist Sonny Dickson, who has a pretty good track record for sourcing accurate Apple and Samsung phone designs. Dickson’s photo shows three phones, which we’re expecting to be the Galaxy

Huawei launches second trifold smartphone at $2,500 as it looks to cement comeback

Huawei on Thursday launched the second generation of its trifold smartphone, as the Chinese tech giant looks to cement its comeback in its home market and dip its toe back overseas.

Foldable smartphones typically have one hinge that allows a user to fold the device in half. Huawei's Mate XTs is dubbed a tr

Galaxy S25 FE vs S24 FE: Here’s why I wouldn’t upgrade

It’s here. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, a phone that impresses in many ways and serves as an affordable alternative to the more feature-packed Galaxy S25 series. While I believe the phone is a solid purchase, the more important question for many is whether it’s worth upgrading to from last year’s Galaxy S24 FE. In short, the answer is no. The days when a yearly smartphone upgrade made sense for most people are long gone. The incremental changes between generations are simply not sign

5 Android phones you should buy instead of the Google Pixel 10 Pro

Joe Maring / Android Authority The Google Pixel 10 Pro is a darn impressive phone. I’ve been using it for a little while now, and although my review isn’t quite ready, I can safely say the Pixel 10 Pro is the Android phone I plan on using for the foreseeable future. Its hardware is great, the cameras are unbelievably powerful, and Google’s software experience is unmatched. The Pixel 10 Pro is just about the perfect Android phone for me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best Android p

The big iPhone 17 Air question: will Apple’s new design phone carry a premium price tag?

Next week, Apple will announce the new lineup of iPhone. The big change is the discontinuation of the iPhone 16 Plus phone, instead introducing a new thin form factor design model. This is widely expected to be branded as the iPhone 17 Air. It will feature the thinnest chassis of an iPhone ever, measuring about 5.5mm at its thinnest point. The tradeoff to achieve the strikingly-thin enclosure is a compromise on camera specs, with the model featuring just one rear lens. But the big question over

I Let the Pixel 10's AI Camera Coach Tell Me How to Take Photos and Here Are the Results

If you look through the camera roll on your phone, what kind of photos do you find? I see images of my friends, my pets, the odd receipt for a work expense and snapshots of coffee -- hey, I was a barista for 11 years! Not every photo is meant to rival an Ansel Adams masterpiece. (Though I'm sure if he had a smartphone, he'd also take a pic of his parking space to remember where he parked his car.) If you want to take better photos with your phone, Google has added a new tool to the Pixel 10 cam

Apple's iPhone 17 Is Almost Here: These Are the Biggest Rumors

Key takeaways: The iPhone 17 could feature a redesigned camera bump, though it may not be as drastic a difference as the Pro models. A higher refresh rate could be coming to the full lineup, potentially enabling the baseline iPhone to have an always-on display. Prices remain uncertain with tariffs, but they'll likely go up, given it's been years since Apple raised the price of the iPhone. The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just days away, with the big unveiling slated for Sept

Motorola Razr 2025 drops back to its all-time low price of $600

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) Foldable phones are still super cool little engineering feats. I still get pleasant conversations with random strangers when I use mine around town. The thing is, they have been pretty expensive until recently. The Motorola Razr 2025 is honestly the most affordable one that we would still recommend. It’s usually $699.99, but today the price is even better at $599.99, which happens to be the cheapest it has ever been. Buy the Motorola Razr 202

Former NASA chief says United States likely to lose second lunar space race

As part of its efforts to shore up NASA's flailing Artemis Program, the Trump administration earlier this year proposed two major changes to the agency's deep space exploration plans. First, in the president's budget request for fiscal year 2026, the White House sought to terminate NASA's costly Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft after the Artemis III mission, the first human landing. And second, to focus on "direct-to-surface" exploration, the White House sought to cancel the Luna
