It's About Darn Time: Apple Will Finally Screen Your Calls and Messages

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-23 10:15:02

There's one big feature I'm looking forward to in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and MacOS Tahoe 26, and it's one that Apple should have added ages ago: call and text screening. It could do more than keep me from talking to strangers -- it could keep me safe from scammers looking to steal my information or my identity. Similar to features from Google and Samsung, Apple's Call Screening vets unknown callers by checking what they want before sending them your way. The company announced the capability at its W

Google is shutting down Android Instant Apps over ‘low’ usage

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Google has confirmed that it plans to shut down Android’s Instant Apps later this year, attributing the decision to “low” usage of the functionality. Instant Apps were introduced in 2017, and allow developers to create mini versions of Android apps that load, well, instantly. Users can try apps and demo games from the click of a link, without having to fully install them. Th

How Much Will the iPhone 17 Cost? Is a $2,400 Tariff-Fueled Price Tag Realistic?

There isn't just one thing deciding how much you'll pay for the new iPhone when it's released this fall. No, there are many, many reasons you'll likely pay a higher price for the rumored iPhone 17. After a long, dizzying past few months of President Donald Trump raising, lowering and pausing tariffs on various countries, he announced this week that he'd made a deal with China, setting the effective tariff rate to 55%.

Apple CarPlay will soon let you watch videos while parked

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-09-23 12:28:00

In a nutshell: For safety reasons, Apple has limited CarPlay to audio-only features until now. With iOS 26, users will be able to stream video as long as the car is parked. App developers may need to issue patches to support the feature, and compatible vehicles have yet to be confirmed. With the iOS 26 update arriving this fall, users can stream videos via AirPlay to the dashboards of parked vehicles. This marks a notable shift from CarPlay's traditional audio-only focus.

Steam finally goes native on Apple Silicon, here’s how to try it

After a years-long wait, Steam for Mac is finally a native Apple Silicon app. Or about to be. Valve quietly rolled out the new version as part of a beta update, and you can try it right now. Until now, Steam has relied entirely on Rosetta 2 to function on Apple Silicon Macs. To many users, that meant extra overhead, slower performance, and a clunky experience across the board, especially in the Chromium-based UI that powers much of the Steam client.

The fastest laptops of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Kyle Kucharski 2025-09-23 12:39:39

At ZDNET, we're often asked, "what's the fastest laptop?" It's a fair question, but it really depends. If you want speed for creative tasks, "fastest" means editing 4K video or rendering high-res images. In that case, you'll want a powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) and lots of random access memory (RAM). The Asus ProArt P16, our pick for fastest creator laptop, has those features in spades.

Android 16 is great, but changing this one setting makes it even better

Google’s Android 16 update is now available for Pixels, and like many of you, I eagerly rushed to update my phone as soon as the new software was live.

AI flunks logic test: Multiple studies reveal illusion of reasoning

Bottom line: More and more AI companies say their models can reason. Two recent studies say otherwise. When asked to show their logic, most models flub the task – proving they're not reasoning so much as rehashing patterns. The result: confident answers, but not intelligent ones. Apple researchers have uncovered a key weakness in today's most hyped AI systems – they falter at solving puzzles that require step-by-step reasoning.
