9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-05 11:24:38

One of the downsides of tech giants creating Silicon Valley was the affordable housing crisis it spurred. That has made it next to impossible for those on typical salaries to rent or buy in the area. Apple was one of a number of tech companies which pledged to help out back in 2019, and so far has delivered more than most … The growth of tech companies within the Bay Area led to dramatically increased demand for housing, alongside price pressure created by the relatively high salaries paid to

7 things the Galaxy S26 Pro needs to be my next Android phone

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
