I switched my Garmin for this $130 rugged watch for a week - here's my verdict now

A few months ago, I tested a pair of Kospet Tank Ultra smartwatches and found them to be pretty compelling for their $150 price point. Since then, I acquired two new Kospet smartwatches: the Magic P10 and R10, and after a few weeks of running, rowing, and exercising with them, I'm impressed with their performance and similarly agreeable price of $160. Also: The best smartwatches you can buy: Expert tested These two new flagship models have the same key internal specs and functionality, but dif

Apple's tariff costs and iPhone sales are soaring - how long until device prices are too?

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Tariffs cost Apple approximately $800 million last quarter. That bill will go up to about $1.1 billion this quarter. Apple says 1 in 10 iPhone sales in April were due to tariff fears. Apple earnings calls usually have a theme, and there's usually a word associated with that theme that ends up being repeated many times throughout the call. During yesterday's call, the theme and repeated word was "tariffs." iPhone sales were up Because of

TikTok launches ‘TikTok Pro’ in Europe with built-in charity program

In Brief TikTok is launching a new version of its app called “TikTok Pro” in Germany, Portugal, and Spain. The app features TikTok’s new “Sunshine Programme,” which allows users to support charitable organizations.

Apple ships 3 billionth iPhone as quarterly revenue jumps 10% – its biggest growth since 2021

What just happened? Apple has sold a lot of iPhones since the first model launched in 2007. As we approach the 20-year anniversary, Cupertino's handsets have hit a milestone: 3 billion units have now been shipped. It was an excellent quarter overall for Apple, partly spurred by people panic-buying its products over fears that the Trump tariffs would drastically increase their prices. With fears of falling behind rivals in the AI race, struggling in its once-dominant China market, and facing pre

Google Messages will finally tell you when your custom ROM is the problem (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Last year, Google began preventing devices that failed Play Integrity checks from sending RCS messages. Google Messages would simply drop texts, without delivering any errors or warnings. Messages now appears to be adding an explicit notice when security requirements are not met. What’s more annoying than when an app stops working? Well — a lot of things, actually — but in this narrow context we’re specifically talking about when an app intentionally

iOS 26 Diary: Much work remains, but I love the new look and the direction

Tim Cook: iOS 26 is ‘by far’ Apple’s most popular beta ever

Apple reported huge quarterly earnings yesterday, and on the call with investors, CEO Tim Cook gave an update on how popular iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe are proving thus far. Whatever your opinion of the new Liquid Glass design coming in iOS 26 and Apple’s other updates, there’s no doubt it’s sparked a lot of interest. As compelling as new features might be for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, there’s nothing like a fresh design to spur upgrades. And according to CEO Tim Cook, Apple has seen

Our Farewell from Google Play

Our project started in 2016 with the goal of offering alternatives to apps with basic functionality that demanded – back then at install time – many permissions they did not need.

Our current selection of Privacy Friendly Apps has grown since then to more than 30. And with more than 350,000 installs we believe we left a dent. We want to take this opportunity to also thank al

Hidden iOS 26 Features Apple Didn't Mention at WWDC

Apple's next iPhone operating system is making several big changes to the iPhone experience. iOS 26 will give everything a more transparent, bubbly look in the Liquid Glass design -- and it also adds new live language translations to your calls and offers more protections against unwanted spam. But there are a number of changes that don't make splashy headlines. These include being able to set how many minutes you want to snooze, making an easy control center shortcut for reminders and having t

I tried iOS 26 as an Android user, and my biggest issue has nothing to do with Liquid Glass

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’m a Pixel guy, have been for years — everyone knows it. So, you can imagine I was pretty pleased when Google unveiled Material 3 Expressive, and it looked like a refinement of the Pixel UI design that I already loved. And then came Apple with its new Liquid Glass interface as part of iOS 26. Simply put, I thought it looked awful. It was hard to read, and the original glass effects looked clunky. Now, though, I’ve given iOS 26 a shot. I’ve loaded it onto my iP

The Apple Watch Series 11 Needs to Catch Up to the Galaxy Watch in One Key Area

I'm nearing the end of my first month with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and for the first time in nearly a decade of reviewing wearables, I'm reluctant to switch back to the Apple Watch. That hesitation comes down to one surprising new addition: Gemini on the watch. Samsung's latest watches were the first to debut with Google's Gemini AI assistant, and the experience has left a lasting impression. Gemini isn't just more conversational than previous voice assistants, it's smart

Best Fitness Trackers (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Fitness Trackers to Consider Photograph: Adrienne So Garmin Instinct 3 for $400: Garmin's Instinct line doesn't have as many high-end features as the Fenix 8, but it's popular because it's cheaper and it has a cool, chunky retro aesthetic that I love. This year's updates include the built-in flashlight and a new reinforced bezel, which is good considering that I still managed to bang up the Fenix and Epix watches quite a bit.

Reddit plans to unify its search interface as it looks to become a search engine

With search today so full of AI slop and sites spamming SEO tricks, it’s not unusual for people to append “reddit” to their queries in hopes of finding useful answers to their questions. Google has tried to integrate results from Reddit in its search interface, and taking notice of the trend, Reddit has been experimenting with its own AI search as well. But the company has loftier ambitions: it wants to become the go-to search engine people use. Reddit’s CEO, Steve Huffman, said as much during

Samsung TV glitch locks users out of apps worldwide

Samsung TVs seem to be facing a widespread issue where apps won’t load properly. The problem appears to be affecting users globally. A Reddit thread with over 700 comments shows that many Samsung TV owners are unable to use any apps on their TVs.

Instead, they show a “202 error” message, which usually points to an internet issue. However, affected users sa

The iPhone is more than a mere smartphone. While we at Android Authority focus mainly on Android (it’s in the name!), many of the contributors and staff members

6 reasons why I prefer self hosted apps — and why you should too

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Lately, there’s a lot of hype around self-hosting and running your own apps on a home lab or NAS. But you might be wondering what you stand to gain from it?

And if you’re curious why, saddle up — I’ve got some thoughts to share. When I first dived into self-hosting
