A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers. My own guess back in May was a $50 price raise, and a

New iPhone 17 Air video reveals beautiful Sky Blue dummy model

Apple’s new iPhone 17 Air is expected to come in four colors, including Sky Blue. And based on a new dummy model video, Sky Blue looks like it could easily prove the most popular color. Sky Blue coming to iPhone 17 Air after proving a hit on M4 MacBook Air Earlier this year, the M4 MacBook Air debuted in Sky Blue, and the color became an instant hit. So it should perhaps be unsurprising that Apple’s going back to a proven winner with its forthcoming iPhone 17 Air. Today Majin Bu posted a new

Android phone feeling slow? I changed these 4 settings to revitalize the whole system

Google Photos is testing two time-saving changes to sorting and album sharing (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos may be changing how you group your photos together based on a person’s face.

I Won't Split AirPods With My Wife Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But we always have to split a set of AirPods when we watch these shows. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane, which can be distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods, AirPods Pro or other headphones. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 and i

With back-to-school season almost here, there's lots of pressure to make sure your kids have all their supplies on hand. However, another thing you have to look out for is potential illness.

Even kids who don’t have chronic absenteeism can miss a day or two because they catch something in the classroom. Dr. Markyia Ni

Illegal Price-Gouging Runs Rampant After Disasters. The LA Fires Proved It

Last January, a series of massive wildfires broke out across the Los Angeles area, fueled by high winds and dry temperatures. The fires raged for weeks, incinerating entire neighborhoods in the wealthy Pacific Palisades and in middle-class Altadena. They killed at least 30 people and destroyed at least 10,000 homes. As the embers cooled, thousands of displaced Angelenos scrambled to find new housing in a rental market that was already among the nation’s toughest. They scoured Zillow and Airbnb

This Might Be the Most Massive Black Hole Ever Discovered

Astronomers have identified what could be a new supermassive black hole, and with an estimated mass 36 billion times that of the sun, it is about 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This would make it among the most massive objects ever detected. The finding, published in the Monthly Notice of the Royal Astronomical Society, was made by researchers from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth in the UK in collaboration with

The Fairphone (Gen. 6) Review: Better Than Ever

I have always loved the idea of the Fairphone. A fair-trade, repairable smartphone designed to be used for a long time, shedding the notion of upgrading every year or two. The idea makes it more environmentally friendly than every other phone. The goal is admirable, but the company's hardware always fell short in a few ways. The Fairphone 5, for example, had a mediocre camera and so-so performance. I've now been using The Fairphone (Gen. 6) for two weeks, and I don't feel like the phone is seve

StubHub is once again working on its IPO that could raise $1B

In Brief StubHub is giving a strong indication that its IPO is back on again. It filed a public S-1 in late March, then paused in April after the Trump administration’s tariffs spooked Wall Street.

IPO experts Renaissance Capital estimated in March that the IPO could raise $1 billion, and says this fresh S-1 could mean a debut next month.

Research Psychiatrist Warns He’s Seeing a Wave of AI Psychosis

Is your iPhone alarm not going off? 6 potential fixes that worked for me

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it. At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down. But after double-checking that, even switching off vibrate and cranking the volume all the way up overnight, the problem persisted. Somewhere between frustration and desperation, I installed a third-party alarm app to try an

How to turn off headphone volume limit warnings on iPhone and iPad

Hearing health is incredibly important, and gentle reminders from Apple to keep that in mind can be helpful. However, if you’re just tired of seeing headphone volume limit warnings, there’s actually a way to turn those off. iOS and iPadOS track headphone audio exposure over a rolling seven-day period. If the system detects that you’ve exceeded safe listening levels (based on guidelines from the World Health Organization), you’ll get a notification urging you to lower your volume. How to turn o
