Apple Reportedly Still Under Pressure to Give UK Government Backdoor iCloud Access

The UK government continues to seek access to Apple's iCloud services, according to a new report, with its request to access people's data seemingly even broader than originally thought. According to a legal filing seen by the Financial Times, the UK Home Office wanted backdoor access to standard iCloud services in addition to those secured with the highest level of encryption. Just last week, President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that the UK and US had

WhatsApp fixes ‘zero-click’ bug used to hack Apple users with spyware

WhatsApp said on Friday that it fixed a security bug in its iOS and Mac apps that was being used to stealthily hack into the Apple devices of “specific targeted users.” The Meta-owned messaging app giant said in its security advisory that it fixed the vulnerability, known officially as CVE-2025-55177, which was used alongside a separate flaw found in iOS and Macs, which Apple fixed last week and tracks as CVE-2025-43300. Apple said at the time that the flaw was used in an “extremely sophistica

Google just can’t stop reimagining how it wants Quick Share to work (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android Quick Share is currently in the process of rolling out a new UI, but even more changes could be in the works. Developers appear to be working on an interface that’s much more minimal, without explicit send and receive screens. It’s possible some of this work could be focused on Quick Share for larger-screen devices. When it comes to app development, does progress ever really rest? No matter how many times you retool your app with a fresh new l

In just over a week, the Apple iPhone 17 event will be here — it's Tuesday, September 9 — and we'll finally get to see the new iPhone 17 lineup.

Aspects of modern HTML/CSS you may not be familiar with

You no longer need JavaScript So much of the web these days is ruined by the bloat that is modern JavaScript frameworks. React apps that take several seconds to load.

Samsung’s take on Pixel Screenshots is finally available to global users

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Global Galaxy owners on One UI 6 or later can now try out the Collections app. This app was previously exclusive to users in China. The app stores information and allows you to easily search for it, sort it by app, and summarize it with AI. Google offers a handy app called Pixel Screenshots, which makes it easy to organize and recall information from screenshots and photos. If you didn’t know, Samsung has a similar, but different app called Collections.

Google is killing a defining feature for Android phones soon - and there's one reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading. "But iOS is a walled garden. Apple controls what you can and can't install on your hardware." If I had a dime for every time an Android user said this argument to settle which mobile platform is the best, I'd be lying in a pool of dimes as I type.

Clues for Apple's iPhone 17 Event Point to More Than Thin Phones

The iPhone lineup will forever change on Sept. 9, as Apple's big "Awe Dropping" iPhone 17 event might reveal an ultra-thin model, nicknamed by many as "iPhone Air." Months of leaks, reports and rumors have analysts and pundits not only expecting a new, thinner iPhone in the 10 a.m. PT live-streamed presentation, but also new models of the Apple Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3. Apple may have hidden clues in the art of the announcement. For this week's episode of One More Thing, embedded above

Samsung’s latest dig at the iPhone lacks wit, but it has a cat at least

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has launched a new ad film, teasing Apple for its lack of a folding iPhone. The video shows the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and suggests it is a superior phone for multitasking. Despite its cheekiness, a cute feline, the ad feels dull and not as hilarious as some of Samsung’s older jabs. If you ever comb through the internet for phone brands poking fun at each other, you’re highly likely to find Samsung attempting to ridicule Apple. Some of its videos are

UK's demand for Apple backdoor may have been broader than previously thought

The UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) has submitted a new legal filing, suggesting that authorities wanted the iCloud backdoor they're demanding Apple to create to be able to access more data than previously thought. According to the Financial Times, UK's Home Office has also yet to legally withdraw or change its order for Apple to create backdoor access to its users' data. If you'll recall, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed a few days ago that the UK "has agreed

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, and this represented a change in naming convention after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We were expecting the Snap

Google’s working on making it easier to find calls you’ve recorded (APK teardown)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app supports call recording in select areas. Earlier this year we saw the Phone app picking up new filters to sort through your call log. Now the app appears to be working on a filter to quickly display calls that have been recorded. Being able to easily record a voice call is exactly the sort of thing a smartphone should be useful for, but messy legal concerns keep the feature from being nearly as ubiquitous as it should be. Google’s got
