Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-04 21:00:09

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone. And it's a good thing too, as despite being available for years and being required for the iPhone in the US since 2022's iPhone 14 l

Porsche adds digital keys, in-car gaming to 2026 Macan Electric

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-04 21:48:14

Although it feels like Porsche only just introduced the electric Macan, the sporty EV SUV is starting to become a more common sight on the road. And as the automaker transitions into model year 2026, it's giving the Macan some new digital toys. Now, both Android and iPhone users will be able to create a digital key for the car (iPhone users can also add a key to their Apple Watch). This works via near-field communication as well as Bluetooth low energy and ultra-wideband, and you can share keys

Lost Android phones will soon greet finders with a new warning screen (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR A redesigned warning screen for Google’s Find Hub is being tested. This new screen now clearly indicates the phone is lost or stolen and has been locked with Find Hub. As part of the redesign, we also see bigger buttons to call the owner or contact emergency services. Back in May this year, Google renamed Find My Device, the app that lets you track and locate your phone, smart tags, or audio accessories if you can’t find them, to Find Hub. Over the fo

While we absolutely prioritize things like performance, features, and pricing when evaluating which phone we want to buy next, we don’t talk nearly as much about another still-very-important consideration: how the phone feels in your hand.

Google says it’s easier to switch from iPhone to Pixel 10, but is it really? We tried it out

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Apple iPhone owners can now use the Pixel Head Start Tool to prepare their data for a switch to a Pixel 10 series phone. The feature lets you prepare your iPhone’s passwords and photos for transfer before the Pixel 10 device arrives. However, this doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade over previous transfer solutions.

Dual-camera setups now lead shipments, while single-camera models are making a comeback. Brands are swapping extra lenses for higher-res sensors and AI-driven photography.
