Apple's World Wide Developers Conference, WWDC 2025, took place on Monday and featured a wide variety of reveals from Apple, captured in our live blog of the event. But aside from news about the company's naming changes and design overhauls, there are always moments that get just a little bit weird. How many times can company representatives say the words "Liquid Glass"? Did you expect it to end with a singer crooning app reviews to music, and meowing? Viewers didn't even wait until the 90-minu

I'm a 42-Year-Old Mom and I Tried 18 Products to Finally Sleep Better. These Are the Ones That Worked

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-17 10:00:06

Remember when falling asleep was easy? Even well into my 30s, I could simply close my eyes, take a few deep breaths and gently drift off to dreamland. These days, it takes a carefully curated wind-down routine, an army of sleep aids and the mental zen of a shaman for me to fall and stay asleep. Some nights it's because of the rap-tap-tap of my 4-year-old complaining of a bad dream, or the intermittent cries of my 1-year-old. Other times, it's my laundry list of deadlines or to-dos. Or maybe it'

I upgraded to Android 16 - here's what I love and what's still missing

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android 16 looked to be one of the most impressive upgrades to the mobile operating system in recent times. Google teased some seriously cool features that would elevate Android to the next level. However, although some of those expected features made their way to the final release, some did not. Because some of the more hotly anticipated features have yet to materialize, Android 16 seems (on the surface) to be kinda blah. But don't be fooled. Even though the big U

Threads Will Now Let You Hide Spoilers, but Logging Off Is Still Free

If you’re one of those people who refuses to look at social media out of fear of spoilers, Meta’s Instagram-adjacent Threads app has a solution it hopes will keep you doomscrolling anyway. The new tool will let people mark words in their posts as “spoilers,” preventing eyeballs who haven’t yet watched, say, a certain episode of The Last of Us from learning a certain beloved main character’s grisly fate.

I don't use Microsoft Office very often. I do most of my writing in Obsidian and my number crunching in Google Sheets. Every once in a while, though, someone who does use Office sends me a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet. What do I do if I want to open it, make edits, and send it back? In this situation, it's probably excessive to purchase Microsoft Office. A one-time purchase of the Microsoft Office suite costs $150, which is a lot for the occasional file.

How Apple Created a Custom iPhone Camera for ‘F1’

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-03-17 15:00:00

You can't mount a cinema camera on a Formula One race car. These nimble vehicles are built to precise specs, and capturing racing footage from the driver’s point of view isn’t as simple as slapping a GoPro on and calling it a day. That’s the challenge Apple faced after Joseph Kosinski and Claudio Miranda, the director and cinematographer of the upcoming F1 Apple Original, wanted to use real POV racing footage in the film.

Dutch court upholds antitrust ruling against Apple over App Store and dating apps

Apple has been dealt another regulatory blow in Europe this week. A court in Rotterdam has upheld a 2021 decision by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), confirming that the company abused its dominant App Store position. Or at least when it comes to dating apps. This specific case centers on Apple’s long-standing requirement that app developers use its in-app payment system (IAP) for digital purchases, with no option to direct users to external payment methods.

Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing

It doesn’t look like much, but Finland recently flipped the switch on the world’s largest sand-based battery. Yes, sand. A sand battery is a type of thermal energy storage system that uses sand or crushed rock to store heat. Electricity — typically from renewable sources — is used to heat the sand. That stored heat can later be used for various ends, including to warm buildings. The economics are compelling, and it’s hard to get any cheaper than the crushed soapstone now housed inside an insu
