cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-23 23:00:03

Your default apps are the apps your iPhone uses automatically in certain situations. So if you tap a phone number on a website, for example, your iPhone will open your Phone app and place a call to that number. But if you like using a certain browser app, like Chrome or Firefox, you can make that app your iPhone's default browser app. When Apple released iOS 18.2 in December, that update made it easier to change your iPhone's default apps.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 could remedy this current ‘Ultra’ discrepancy

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is coming very soon, and rumors indicate it could remedy a discrepancy that arose last year, when the Apple Watch Series 10 debuted several exclusive features that bested the latest Ultra model. Apple Watch Series 10 surpassed the latest Ultra model in several ways last year Last year after the Apple Watch Series 10 launched, I wrote an article that proved controversial. It was titled, “When Ultra doesn’t mean ‘best’ anymore.” The inspiration was Apple Watch Series 10 gain

Should we get the option of a round Apple Watch and more? [Poll]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-26 09:42:30

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch. This clearly offers the most efficient use of space, allowing some info-dense faces alongside simpler ones. If we ignore the frankl

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung’s phone lineup hasn’t changed much since 2020, when the Galaxy S20 series set the precedent of a base, Plus, and Ultra model every year. There have been some additions, such as the more budget-friendly FE variants or this year’s thinner Galaxy S25 Edge, but by and large, the formula has been the same for the last five years. That could change in 2026, as Samsung may pivot to a Galaxy S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra. If that is the case, the phone I’d be most in
