Liquid Glass on iOS 26 Is Here to Stay, Whether You Like It or Not

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-24 01:18:33

The old debate of form over function remains true with iOS 26 and the final version that launched for all iPhones today. There’s all but a faint whiff of that long-promised Apple Intelligence, though you’ll still find plenty to love and more to complain about with the switch from iOS 18 all the way to the “26” generation. Remember to set aside some storage on iPhone, as the update will demand a good chunk. iOS 26 showed up as 6GB for me on my iPhone 14 Pro, coming from version iOS 18.6. (Apple

Apple's Sleeper Hit of Its Fall Lineup? The Apple Watch SE 3

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-24 01:18:00

At Apple's September event, the new iPhone 17 models and AirPods Pro 3 took much of the attention, plus the super-thin iPhone Air and updated Apple Watch Ultra 3. But in this frugal girl's book, the real headliner was the one that snuck in as the real underdog of Apple's entire fall lineup: the Apple Watch SE 3. I usually overlook Apple's SE model because it lacks many of the powerhouse features of the flagship and Ultra editions, like an always-on display or temperature tracking. But this year

Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee

AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been

2025 Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds features—good audio, good ANC, and good battery life—are table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s third-gen
