The iPhone 17 Needs Amazing Cameras. Here's What I Think Apple Should Do

The iPhone 16 Pro already packs one of the best camera setups found on any phone, but the iPhone 17 needs to take things even further when it launches in just a few weeks. Sure, Apple's phones are capable of taking stunning photos, thanks to its awesome software, ProRaw format and its wealth of video skills, but Apple's rivals have been doing big things, too. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra all pack amazing camera setups that have given the iPhone 16 Pro a run for i

Even with three cameras, the Pixel 10 isn’t the Pixel phone I want

Thanks to Google’s nonchalance about early announcements, we’ve already seen how the new Pixel 10 series is going to look. The biggest upgrade by far is coming to the base model, which is, for the first time, getting a third camera lens on the back. It’s such a big upgrade that it makes the Pixel 10 the perfect phone for most people — you won’t be missing out on the usual differentiator between the Pro and non-Pro models. But here’s the thing: the Pro and non-Pro Pixels remain two different ent

OnePlus 15’s SuperBlack could be the blackest black color we’ve seen on a phone

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming OnePlus 15 may feature a brand new design, including a “black hole”-inspired aesthetic featuring the SuperBlack color and a new camera island design. The phone is rumored to come with a 6.78-inch flat LIPO display with a 1.5K resolution and symmetrically thin bezels. Other leaks suggest the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP triple camera, and a 7,000mAh battery. Once the Pixel 10 series launches, we’re

This iOS 26 Feature Lets You Stop iPhone Spam Calls In a Few Easy Steps

Apple released the second public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 7. The update brought a handful of new features, like a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to change your alarm's snooze length, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. It also gave developers and beta testers an easy way to stop spam callers from bothering them with a new call screening feature. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26 compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, will get this feature wh

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals

Here’s a simple question: Is the current top iPhone better for the environment than the top iPhone was five years ago? Let’s take the iPhone Pro series. If we’re looking at recycled and renewable materials, it’s an easy yes. Compare the iPhone 11 Pro, released in September 2019, with the iPhone 16 Pro, released in September 2024, and there has been good progress—from a few smaller components and packaging to now at more than 25 percent of the whole phone. There's work to do, of course, but that

Ready for Apple's iOS 26? Here are all the compatible iPhones that can run the beta today

Your iPhone and iPad's operating systems are getting big upgrades this fall with the release of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. My favorite coming to both is the visual update, called Liquid Glass — it's like the better-executed version of Windows Vista. We spent two weeks test-driving it — you can check out our detailed hands-on iOS 26 preview, or you can try it out yourself by downloading and installing the public beta. That software is a more stable iteration of the separate developer version, which re

iPhone 17 release is rumored for September: Everything you need to know about the 'thinnest iPhone ever' and the Apple fall event

The closer we get to Apple's reveal of the iPhone 17 lineup, the more excited we are to see what's different from the previous iPhones. The newest smartphones will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features.

iOS 26 beta hints at upcoming AirPods live translation gesture

When Apple announced Live Translation at WWDC25, it highlighted use cases like FaceTime, phone calls, and messages. But one major use case was missing: real-world conversations. As it turns out, that was in the works too.

8 settings I changed on my Google Pixel phone to extend the battery life by hours

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Pixel phones have an excellent reputation for smart software, but battery life has been a common complaint with Google's smartphones. Thankfully, that same smart software is now improving battery life and longevity, though many features aren't set up for maximum endurance out of the box. I've found that a handful of features can dramatically improve how long your Pixel lasts, both in a single day and over the long haul. Also: I've owned every Google Pixel flagship phone since t

The Rise of Native Phishing: Microsoft 365 Apps Abused in Attacks

Attackers don’t need exploits; they need TRUST. Changes in attack methods reflect changes in generations. Gen Z, a generation known for prioritizing ease and efficiency, is now entering the cybersecurity landscape on both sides. Some are protecting data, and others are stealing it. With the rise of AI and no-code platforms in attackers’ phishing toolkits, building trust and deceiving users has never been easier.

iPhone 17, the ‘thinnest iPhone ever,’ and everything else we’re expecting out of Apple’s hardware event

The event is reported to be on September 9, and Apple is expected to release its iPhone 17 lineup, along with updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods.

Just because I like Pixels doesn’t mean I hate Samsung

It’s one of the oldest rivalries in the consumer world: Coke vs Pepsi. If I told you I prefer Coke, would you then assume I hate Pepsi? Any sane person would answer “no” to that question. “It’s just a preference,” they’d say. For some reason, though, that same logic doesn’t always seem to apply in the tech world, especially when it comes to smartphones. After working at Android Authority for many years, I’ve learned that lots of people out there think that if you’re on one side of a coin, you m

A Global Look at Teletext

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

Adobe Wants You to Use AI to Stop Poorly Photoshopping Images

At its very core, Photoshop is a compositing program -- able to combine multiple images into one project. So it's not totally surprising, in this era of generative AI, to see that this core photo editing activity has gotten an AI-powered boost. Harmonize is the newest Photoshop beta feature. Named after the photo harmonization process, the tool helps seamlessly match an image to a project by naturally blending objects into the background.

Apple applies for patent on that ‘single slab of glass’ iPhone

iOS 26 is giving us a glass-like UI, but Apple’s long-term vision for the iPhone hardware is what former design chief Jony Ive referred to as a “single slab of glass.” A new Apple patent application appears to refer to work on this, describing a “six-sided glass enclosure” … An all-glass iPhone Ive may be long gone from his role at Apple, but the company is believed to be still working toward his vision of a device which would look like a single slab of glass.

Impress Me, Apple. Make This One Unexpected Change With the iPhone 17

We're now less than a month away from Apple unveiling the iPhone 17, if rumors are to be believed. I always look forward to this highlight of the tech calendar, especially since I've been writing about and primarily using an iPhone for well over a decade. When it comes to the 2025 iPhone, there's one thing I'd love to see Apple prioritize -- and it might not be what you expect. It's not a cool new design, a bigger battery or a more impressive camera. It's definitely not advanced AI capabilities

Best Internet Providers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What is the best internet provider in Philadelphia? Verizon Fios is CNET's broadband expert's top pick for the best internet service provider in Philadelphia.

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We’re seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it loo
