Samsung Messages hints at satellite support, but should you get your hopes up? (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 12:32:38

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Users found references to Satellite Messaging in the Samsung Messages app. However, the checked version of the app is old. The relevant code was actually added back in December 2024 and hasn’t changed since. There’s no indication that active feature development is underway, so don’t get your hopes up for satellite messaging. In January, Samsung reiterated that it was sunsetting Samsung Messages and moving users to Google Messages. Those who don’t wish to

iOS 26 is giving us a glass-like UI, but Apple’s long-term vision for the iPhone hardware is what former design chief Jony Ive referred to as a “single slab of glass.” A new Apple patent application appears to refer to work on this, describing a “six-sided glass enclosure” … An all-glass iPhone Ive may be long gone from his role at Apple, but the company is believed to be still working toward his vision of a device which would look like a single slab of glass.

Running macOS on an iPad? Jailbreak project makes progress

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-06 17:29:34

Apple may not be merging macOS and iPadOS, but the two version 26 operating systems share a lot of similarities. Still, the quest to actually port the Mac operating system to the iPad continues. As Steve Troughton-Smith suggests Mastodon, “hackintosh” may soon refer to an iPad running macOS and not a homegrown Mac clone. “Apple may not bring macOS to iPad, but it looks like we’re getting to a point where people can hackintosh it together on a jailbroken device anyway,” he writes.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are back on sale for $169

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 17:35:22

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.

We're now less than a month away from Apple unveiling the iPhone 17, if rumors are to be believed. I always look forward to this highlight of the tech calendar, especially since I've been writing about and primarily using an iPhone for well over a decade.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri.

Back in 2024, Apple promised a significant Siri upgrade that would understand voice commands better, have a more intuitive model running underneath, and be “deeply integrated” into the sys

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung phones are well known for One UI, one of the most functional and intuitive Android interfaces. While it's highly customizable, these phones often come with preinstalled bloatware. Some built-in Samsung apps, such as Wearable and Wallet, are useful within the Samsung ecosystem.
