Faster animations on iOS 26 makes even older iPhones feel like new

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-11-30 18:39:18

The design revamp brought about with iOS 26 brings all sorts of new animations along with the Liquid Glass visual treatments. With beta 6, Apple overhauled Springboard’s app launch animations for the first time in years. Apps now launch to full-screen much faster than before, accompanied a minor warp effect that is reminiscent of how Mac windows minimise to the dock. The faster animation speed makes a big difference. It really feels like iOS 26 made your iPhone faster, even several-year old mod

The best tablets for 2025: Tested and reviewed by our experts

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-30 16:00:37

Tablets are the perfect middle ground between your phone and laptop, giving you the best of both worlds. Whether you want a lightweight device to binge your favorite shows, a larger screen for mobile gaming or a portable way to get some work done on the go, a tablet can do it all. They’re also great for keeping kids entertained, managing work tasks or sharing family moments through video calls. When a phone feels too small and lugging around a laptop is just too much, that’s where tablets fit in

What to expect at Apple's iPhone 17 event

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-30 16:00:59

We're likely only around a month away (give or take) from Apple's next iPhone launch event. This year's shindig could see the thinnest iPhone to date joining the iPhone 17 lineup. Also on tap could be new Apple Watch models — including the first Ultra model in two years — and (maybe) the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3. Apple's iPhone family will likely welcome a new member this year. The iPhone Air is expected to be roughly 5.55 mm thick. The thinnest model so far has been 2014's iPhone 6, at 6.9 m

Meta accessed women's health data from Flo app without consent, says court

news.ycombinator.com Danny Bradbury 2025-11-30 17:51:40

A jury has ruled that Meta accessed sensitive information from a woman’s reproductive health tracking app without consent. The app in question is called Flo Health. Developed in 2015 in Belarus to track menstrual cycles, it has evolved over the years as a tracking app for highly detailed, intimate aspects of women’s reproductive health. Flo Health user Erica Frasco bought a class action lawsuit against the company in 2021, following a damning report about its privacy infractions by the Wall St

Apple, I'm Begging You: Don't Let AI Ruin the iPhone 17's Camera

AI has become an expected part of every new phone launching in 2025 and not just in the form of Gemini Live or Circle to Search. The cameras on many phones have AI baked deep into the heart of the experience too. I was taken aback by the Honor 400 Pro's image-to-video AI tool when it brought my dad back to life, while the Pixel 9 Pro focused more on generative AI to add new elements to your Images or even create new scenes out of nowhere.

Prefer Chrome Over Safari? Here's How to Change Your iPhone's Default Apps

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.

Even the most die-hard iPad fans have started to lose faith in recent years.
