iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max back design mystery may be solved ahead of Apple event

Earlier this week, we flagged that despite knowing an awful lot about the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, there was still a major design mystery going into Apple’s “Awe dropping” event. Now new reporting points to a more dramatic splash in that category. There have been two competing rumors around the design of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max backs. Both agree that the camera mound will expand into a full-width camera bar across the top. Where things diverge is the rest of the back: an all-glass cont

Your old Google phone may be getting this Pixel 9 livestreaming feature

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel’s Connected Cameras feature is appearing on older models, such as the Pixel 6a, 7, and 8 Pro.

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

Samsung launches the Galaxy S25 FE at IFA 2025

Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone at IFA. It's available right now, starting at $650. The handset is available in four colorways. This is a midrange member of the Galaxy S25 family, after the company released the S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra back in January and the ultra-thin S25 Edge in May . The base-level S25 starts at $800 , so this is a slightly cheaper way to get in on all of that Galaxy action. This phone actually ships with the company's One UI 8 operating system. The o

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

New AI model turns photos into explorable 3D worlds, with caveats

On Tuesday, Tencent released HunyuanWorld-Voyager, a new open-weights AI model that generates 3D-consistent video sequences from a single image, allowing users to pilot a camera path to "explore" virtual scenes. The model simultaneously generates RGB video and depth information to enable direct 3D reconstruction without the need for traditional modeling techniques. However, it won't be replacing video games anytime soon. The results aren't true 3D models, but they achieve a similar effect: The

The first iPhone with all-screen display could arrive next year: report

The dream of an edge-to-edge iPhone display with no cutout could come true sooner than we thought. Per a new analyst report, next year’s iPhone Fold might be the first iPhone to move camera components under the display, thus offering a truly all-screen design. iPhone Fold expected to feature under-display front camera When Apple launched the iPhone X in 2017, it touted a “gorgeous all-glass design.” But as we all know, that design included a notch, which in 2022 shrank into the Dynamic Island.

These 8 iPhone 17 Pro Max Feature Rumors Have Me Questioning My Earlier Phone Choices

Apple's phone lineup is usually split between the more-affordable iPhone and the extras-added iPhone Pro models, but this year we could see another split, and I'm not talking about a possible iPhone 17 Air. Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are basically the same phones but with different size screens and bodies, the iPhone 17 Pro Max expected to be announced at Apple's "Awe dropping" event next week on Sept. 9 could set itself apart from the regular-size iPhone 17 Pro.

Is It Legal to Record Audio or Video on a Home Security Camera? Here Are the Rules

The core purpose of a security camera is to keep eyes on your home -- but how do privacy laws affect their use? You should know if you could get in trouble before getting a security camera that could watch anyone from joggers on the street to babysitters in your home. The good news is that your security monitoring should be fine in most cases, especially with a little common sense. But there are rules everyone should know before using live views or downloading video clips. Let's start with the

I’d be more excited about the Pixel 10 Pro if it had this iPhone camera feature

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro sits in quite an awkward spot this year. The main differentiator between the standard Pixel and the Pro model has long been the third camera, but that gap closed with the Pixel 10 also rocking a three-cam setup this time. Getting a solid telephoto camera on a $200 cheaper phone already sabotages the 10 Pro’s position as the real ‘Pro’ for most people. Since Google’s phones are known for cameras — they are called Pixels after all — the Pixel 10

How Pixel 10 Pro created the world's smartest phone camera - a peek inside Google

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Isaac Reynolds has been working on the Pixel Camera team at Google for almost a decade -- since the first Google Pixel phone launched in 2016. And yet, I think it's fair to say that he's never been more bullish about the technology that Google has integrated into a phone camera than he is with this year's Pixel 10 Pro. A new wave of AI breakthroughs in the past year have allowed Google to use Large Language
