Apple CEO Tim Cook (L) takes a selfie with a greets customers on arrival for the release of the Vision Pro headset at the Apple Store in New York City on February 2, 2024. When Apple revealed the Vision Pro in 2023, it called the $3,500 headset its next "major platform." Two years later, and a year after going on sale, the device is thin on apps. Apple doesn't regularly release stats on the number of Vision Pro apps that are available, and it's hard to tell how many new apps come out in any gi

Shares of Hims & Hers Health tumbled more than 23% on Friday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that the shortage of semaglutide injection products has been resolved. Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's blockbuster weight loss drugs Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic.

Today’s top Android phones all have in-display fingerprint sensors, and this tech has made major strides over the years. In fact, many modern high-end phones have ultrasonic in-display sensors with fast, accurate unlocking and the ability to scan wet fingers. However, I recently went back to the Samsung Galaxy S8 while working on a different article, and I realized that I really missed fingerprint scanner gestures on old smartphones.

Sony’s next Xperia flagship could go all out with not one, not two, but three Exmor T sensors

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR A rumor claims the Xperia 1 VII will use Exmor T sensors for all three rear cameras. Last year’s model only had an Exmor T sensor for the main camera. The Exmor T sensors could reduce noise in low-light shots and improve dynamic range. Last year’s Xperia 1 VI did little to improve the rear camera situation from the previous year. The hardware was largely identical to the Xperia V, but with some quality-of-life improvements. But a new rumor suggests

The iPhone 16e lacks support for MagSafe charging, an omission that has dominated conversations about Apple’s cheapest iPhone model this week.
