cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-21 14:00:03

Apple released the third public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 14. 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 let developers and beta testers stop spam calls 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 when Apple releases

I Prefer the Merlin Bird ID App Over Meditation Apps for Staying in the Present Moment

I've downloaded countless meditation apps and tried all the breathing exercises to stay present. Yet, the app I wasn't expecting to help me with mindfulness is the one I've had the most success with. It's an app for identifying birds. I was just as surprised as you are. Merlin Bird ID was launched in 2014 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to help people identify the birds around them. Thanks to eBird, the world's largest database of bird sounds and photos based on 800 million global sightings,

Next month, Apple should be refreshing its entire Apple Watch lineup.

This excellent Samsung Good Lock feature should come to all Android phones

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Say what you will about Samsung One UI, but it makes a strong argument for being one of the most feature-rich Android skins on the market. That’s in large part due to the company’s Good Lock suite of apps, which allows you to deeply customize various aspects of your phone. The latest Good Lock app is Display Assistant, which was released at the tail end of 2024. After recently downloading it, I’ve discovered a feature I’d love to see on all of my future Androi

Apple's iPad Air M3 is cheaper than ever right now

For a lot of people, the iPad Air is Apple’s goldilocks tablet. It’s more powerful and available in a larger size than the entry-level iPad, but a lot less expensive than the iPad Pro, which can be overkill for some.

Apple Finally Destroyed Steve Jobs’ Vision of the iPad. Good

For years, Apple treated the idea of windows on the iPad as sacrilege. But with iPadOS 26 installed, today’s iPads are doing macOS cosplay, becoming touchscreen Macs in all but name. And here’s the thing: It’s actually pretty good. So how did we get here? When did this fundamental shift occur that killed off Steve Jobs’ vision of the iPad?
