Apple, I'm Begging You: Don't Let AI Ruin the iPhone 17's Camera

AI has become an expected part of every new phone launching in 2025 and not just in the form of Gemini Live or Circle to Search. The cameras on many phones have AI baked deep into the heart of the experience too. I was taken aback by the Honor 400 Pro's image-to-video AI tool when it brought my dad back to life, while the Pixel 9 Pro focused more on generative AI to add new elements to your Images or even create new scenes out of nowhere. But the iPhones have always focused first and foremost o

I Love How Streamlined the Excellent Pixel 9 Pro Is, and It’s 40% Off for a Limited Time

CNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 9 Pro is currently on sale with $400 off After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users do swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex. The user interface isn't quite as easy to adjust as the Apple offering, and while it may sound unreasonable, Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for ex

Say Cheese! Here's How to Use Your AirPods to Take an iPhone Picture in iOS 26

Taking photos can be a fun way to save and share memories, but sometimes getting a good picture can be difficult. For example, if you're taking a selfie, you might find it hard to hold your phone at the right angle to get everyone in the shot while keeping your hand out of frame and still being able to press the capture button. But when Apple releases iOS 26 this fall, it will let you use your AirPods to take photos so you can just worry about getting everyone's best angle. Apple released the s

Should You Buy the iPhone 16E Now or Wait for the iPhone 17?

We are less than a month away from Apple announcing the rumored iPhone 17. We expect the iPhone 17 to be a replacement the iPhone 16 which launched 11 months ago. Apple's newest phone, the $599 iPhone 16E, launched in February and offers a unique appeal: Get some of the iPhone 16's best features (a 48-megapixel camera, iOS 18 and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence) for $200 less than the $799 iPhone 16.

Ready for Apple's iOS 26? These are all the compatible iPhones that can run public beta 2 right now

iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are coming this fall, bringing huge upgrades to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems.

iPhone 17 release is rumored for September: Everything you need to know ahead of the Apple fall event

If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, we should see the company reveal its latest lineup of smartphones: the iPhone 17 models. The new models will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features preinstalled, along with whatever additional features Apple reveals at the launch event.

Your iPhone has a secret in-car feature that's seriously underutilized - here's how to access it

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I've always had a mixed experience with motion sickness. I don't suffer from it on a plane or ship, thankfully. But put me in the back seat of a car, and I often get hit by a bad case of it, especially if the ride is twisty and turny. Triggered by mixed signals across your eyes, inner ear, and brain, those feelings of dizziness and queasiness can be extremely uncomfortable. For anyone else who experiences motion sickness, you can turn to your iPhone for help. Also: Install

Scientists Unveil Wild New Way to Explore the Edge of Space

Scientists often refer to the mesosphere as the “ignorosphere”—a region that’s too high for planes or weather balloons to explore, yet too low for satellites to probe. Despite our technological advances, we’ve yet to find a decent way to monitor this large stretch of air, which lies about 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface. But engineers are inching towards a solution—one inspired by a toy-like invention from the 19th century. A Nature paper published today presents a proof-of-concept f

A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers.

I Won't Split AirPods With My Wife Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But we always have to split a set of AirPods when we watch these shows. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane, which can be distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods, AirPods Pro or other headphones. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 and i
