The best iPhones

is a reviewer with over a decade of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. The wait is over — kind of. Apple’s iPhone 16 series is now widely available, including the kinda affordable 16E, and its much-hyped Apple Intelligence has arrived courtesy of iOS 18.1. But if you’re expecting a new kind of iPhone experience, well, I have some bad news for you. The AI features introduced in iOS 18.1 and mor

GIGABYTE's new AI PCs are slim, multitasking powerhouses for professionals

GIGABYTE ZDNET BrandX for GIGABYTE For the modern on-the-go professional, there are two non-negotiables when it comes to laptops: It has to be light, and it has to be powerful. Until recently, these two demands were in conflict. The lighter a laptop was, the less likely that it could make it through a long remote workday or a transatlantic flight without its battery dying or the entire system overheating. GIGABYTE's new AI laptops are powerhouse machines designed for gamers and creators, but

Using the Matrix Cores of AMD RDNA 4 architecture GPUs

Android 16 is a mess right now

Joe Maring / Android Authority If you’re reading this article, chances are you love Android. Or, at the very least, have a fairly high interest in the OS. You probably like staying up-to-date with the latest features, new platform releases, and other happenings with Google’s operating system. Unfortunately for people like us, trying to keep up with new Android developments has never been more complicated. And this past week, Google just made it all the more obscure with the release of Android

Best iPhone in 2025: Here's Which Apple Phone You Should Buy

Phone makers promise varying lengths of long-term software and security support, ranging from just one year to as many as seven. These updates not only ensure you get many of the latest features, but also keep your phone secure. Phone cameras have gotten better over the past five years. But don’t be fooled by how many cameras a phone has. More is not necessarily better. Phones are big in general, with the smallest ones having a 6.1-inch screen and larger models topping out at 6.8 inches. That

Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 is here to install with Google’s latest bug fixes

Google just changed the way we’re going to be looking at new Android features with the introduction of its public Canary program, and while that’s going have a major impact on how Android 17 reveals itself to us, the company’s existing Beta programs are rolling right on like always. This summer we’ve already seen lots of progress towards what we’ll be getting from the next Pixel Drop in the form of Google’s Android 16 QPR1 releases, first with Beta 1 in May, and then Beta 2 in early June.

Here are the new features for Pixels in Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google has released the third and final beta for Android 16’s first quarterly platform release (QPR1). Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 is available without a detailed changelog, which is typical for these releases. We’ve already started digging into the build to find out what’s new, though, and here’s what we’ve discovered so far. Note: At the time of this article’s publication, Google has only released the Generic System Images (GSIs) for Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3. The

Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election

The voting age will be lowered to 16 across the UK by the next general election in a major change of the democratic system. The government said it was a reform to bring in more fairness for 16- and 17-year-olds, many of whom already work and are able to serve in the military. It brings the whole of the UK voting age to 16. Scotland and Wales have already made the change for Holyrood and Senedd elections, as well as local council elections. In a sweeping package of changes, ministers will also

IPhone 16E vs. iPhone 15 Pro: Affordable Alternatives to the iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 is an excellent handset for Apple aficionados, but $799 can be pretty pricey for a lot of people. But there are a couple of good options that are both cheaper and have Apple Intelligence: the iPhone 16E and the iPhone 15 Pro. Both have 6.1-inch displays, but the Pro has a few more perks. The 16E starts at $599, but Apple no longer sells the 15 Pro. However, you can snag a used version of the 15 Pro for anywhere between $538 and $684 or get a refurbished one from Apple for $759. On

Today's AI Appreciation Day Feels Weird. Celebrate These Other Made-Up Holidays Instead

July 16 is AI Appreciation Day. So break out the champagne for ChatGPT! Bring gifts of Nvidia chips and cake for Gemini and flowers and training data for Claude.

I Watched a $30,000, 116-Inch TV. Now I Need a Bigger Living Room

The whole TV industry is moving towards bigger and bigger screens, and the new Hisense 116UX takes the concept to a room-filling extreme. This is a 116-inch 4K TV that costs as much as a decent new car. But it's not just any 116-inch, $30,000 TV. Hisense built some sophisticated tech under the hood, and I got some hands-on time with it. I can confirm that this is a truly massive screen. Like, absolutely huge. A real unit.

Configuring Split Horizon DNS with Pi-Hole and Tailscale

I've long had some form of VPN for my devices to use when I'm out and about. Although I used to run OpenVPN, I moved to Tailscale a little while back. Tailscale builds a mesh network using Wireguard protocol and so is able to connect and run quite a bit faster than OpenVPN. Side note: for those wondering, Tailscale is Canadian and can't see the content of connections (although if you're worried about this it's also possible to self-host using Headscale).
