How to clear your iPhone cache (and why it greatly improves the performance)

What is cache? Cache -- or browser cache -- is the temporary storage of website files. So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: Every iPhone model that can be updated to iOS 26 (and which ones don't support it) Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down. That's why it's smart to clear your browser cache regularly. In this art

The FTC's 'Click to Cancel' Rule Is Blocked. Here's What That Means for Your Subscriptions

The Click to Cancel rule is supposed to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one. Viva Tung/Getty Images The Federal Trade Commission's "click to cancel" rule -- which would have made it easier to cancel unwanted subscriptions -- has been blocked by the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The rule was set to take effect on July 14. "Click to cancel" would have required businesses to clearly disclose terms and obtain informed consent before charging for a subscriptio

The ‘Click-to-Cancel’ Rule Was Killed, but Consumer Advocates Could Revive It

United States residents almost escaped subscription cancellation hell, but the Federal Trade Commission's “Click to Cancel” rule was unanimously struck down by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on Tuesday—just days before it was set to go into effect. What would have happened if this updated FTC rule had gone into effect on July 14 as planned? “The stated goal was that they wanted to make it as easy for you to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up,” says John Breyault, vice pre

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE hands-on: The 'cheaper' foldable phone got me very confused

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a big upgrade over its predecessor. It features an edge-to-edge cover-screen display, a bigger battery, and more polished AI features.

Gen Z Deserves a Cute Flip Phone. Samsung's Cheaper Foldable Is Too Pricey to Be It

I Tried the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE and I'm Here for the Larger Cover Screen

Are two Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones better than one? That's the question I kept pondering as I held the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 in one hand and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in the other at a Samsung press preview.

The new Galaxy Z Flip 7, which starts at $1,100, has been completely redesigned with a 4.1-inch cover screen, a 6.9-inch main

The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s best new feature is one that other Samsung phones have had for years

TL;DR The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first in the clamshell foldable series to finally get full support for Samsung’s DeX desktop mode.

I love the look and feel of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, but the price confuses me

When Samsung launches new foldable phones, most people who read sites like Android Authority are only really interested in the Fold model — the ultra-expensive one that opens like a book. However, the foldable that sells the most is the Flip model — the smaller, cheaper design that opens like a clamshell. This year is no different, as the eyes of the internet seem to be exclusively on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which got its first significant design refresh in years and is positioned to be competitive
