I tried Google Photos' AI search and it was surprisingly bad - 3 ways to fix it

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-06-07 18:40:00

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET One practical use case for AI natural language processing is being able to search your photos with the ease of a conversational prompt. As a result, Google unveiled a feature called Ask Photos last year and started rolling out early access to users via Google Labs in September. The feature finally rolled out to me -- and the results were surprising. I was excited to try it out for myself. Even though I am a long-time iPhone user, I've used Google Photos for about a decade f

Kerry Wan/ZDNET With the way we use our iPhones these days, it can be hard to make it through a single day on a full charge. A few FaceTime calls, some text messaging, and opening Maps a few times, and you could already be 25% down. If you've experienced this problem, you're not alone. These phones can be very power-hungry -- even the more affordable iPhone SE 4 has battery issues. The problem is made worse by all the different apps, features, and settings vying for battery life.

This useful Apple Intelligence camera feature is coming to iPhone 15 Pro - here's how it works

ZDNET Apple's Visual Intelligence skill is expanding beyond the iPhone 16. The iPhone 15 Pro will soon get custody of the feature, which digs up details on objects you snap through the camera. In a post published on Wednesday, Daring Fireball's John Gruber said that Apple representatives told him that iPhone 15 Pro (and presumably iPhone 15 Pro Max) owners will be able to use Visual Intelligence on their devices.

Archaeologists Unearth the First Pharaoh’s Tomb Since Tutankhamun

gizmodo.com Isaac Schultz 2025-06-07 15:40:51

A joint Egyptian-British archaeological project near Luxor found the tomb of Thutmose II, making it the first royal tomb to be unearthed since the discovery of Tutankhamun in 1922. When British archaeologist Howard Carter opened Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, he would have been shocked to learn that another royal tomb wouldn’t be discovered for over 100 years—but that’s exactly what happened. Now, archaeologists in Egypt have officially announced the discovery of the long-lost tomb of Pharaoh Thut

Study: Cuttlefish adapt camouflage displays when hunting prey

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-07 18:41:00

Crafty cuttlefish employ several different camouflaging displays while hunting their prey, according to a new paper published in the journal Ecology, including mimicking benign ocean objects like a leaf or coral, or flashing dark stripes down their bodies. And individual cuttlefish seem to choose different preferred hunting displays for different environments. It's well-known that cuttlefish and several other cephalopods can rapidly shift the colors in their skin thanks to that skin's unique st

In India, Apple’s iPhone 16e faces stiff competition from older models

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-06-07 16:20:17

On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e. The model replaces both the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 in the company’s lineup. The new handset is the least expensive member of the iPhone 16 lineup, aiming at emerging markets, including India. The world’s second largest smartphone market (behind China) has fueled significant iPhone sales, with Apple recently cracking the top five vendors in India. A week ahead of the iPhone 16e’s release, however, it’s unclear what impact the device will have on this

Apple’s iPhone 16e seems boring, and that’s exactly why I want one

Apple I might be the one and only person who’s genuinely excited about the iPhone 16e. On paper, there’s nothing crazy about Apple’s new mid-range phone — it only has one camera, brings back the notch for Face ID, and comes in two bland colorways, black and white. But hear me out — that’s why I’m excited. For the first time in a long time, it feels like Apple is making a phone for people who don’t want to be completely glued to their phones, and I think that will make the iPhone 16e a success.
