Say Goodbye to Spam Calls With Call Screening in iOS 26

Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24. The beta 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 the ability to screen incoming unknown calls, that way spam callers don't bother you as much. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26 compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, will get this featur

14 Best Beauty Box Subscriptions, Tested for Months (2025)

Ipsy is likely best known for its Glam Bags, which include a cute makeup bag each month filled with five deluxe samples. It was cofounded by OG beauty guru Michelle Phan in 2011. I received some excellent deluxe samples, including Fenty Beauty mascara, a BYOD blush brush, and a Just Ximena highlighter.

PHP 8.5 adds pipe operator

PHP 8.5, due out November of this year, will bring with it another long-sought-after feature: the pipe operator ( |> ). It's a small feature with huge potential, yet it still took years to happen. What is a pipe operator? The pipe operator, spelled |> , is deceptively simple. It takes the value on its left side and passes it as the single argument to a function (or in PHP's case, callable ) on its right side: $result = "Hello World" |> strlen(...) // Is equivalent to $result = strlen("Hello W

US iPhones: ‘Made in India’, built in China

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-16 23:16:47

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains. For the last two quarters, Apple CEO Tim Cook has noted that iPhones sold in the U.S. are sourced from India. The move, of course, allows Apple to avoid those pesky Trump tariffs on products exported from China and sold in the United States. Responding to a technically tru
