iPadOS 26 preview: The rare software update that makes (most) old hardware feel new

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-02 09:18:54

The Mac and the iPad are different devices that do different things. This has been the line from Apple executives, from its initial introduction to the advent of touchscreen PCs to just last month when Apple’s Craig Federighi talked to us about iPadOS 26’s new multitasking features. But it sometimes feels like this internal commitment to keeping the devices separate has held the iPad back as its hardware has become more capable. A mouse cursor? Sure, we’ll add it, after a few years of insisting

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T was named best network by Rootmetrics, while T-Mobile claims the Speedtest crown, showing there’s no single “best” carrier for everyone. Different awards use different methods, so the right carrier depends on your priorities and where you live. Local coverage varies a lot, so always check how each carrier performs in your area before deciding. Recently, Rootmetrics awarded AT&T as the best network for the first half of 2025.

Elon Musk’s X Says ‘Nope’ to French Authorities Trying to Access Its Algorithm

Onlookers have long suspected that Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) has a right-wing bias embedded in its digital DNA, and, in January of this year, cybercrime authorities in France took it upon themselves to uncover whether this was true or not. The investigation has sought to determine whether the site is guilty of algorithmically manipulating the visibility of content on its website. NBC reports that, earlier this month, the probe was transferred to a “key unit of France’s national police.” N

Andy Walker / Android Authority For many, the choice between Spotify and YouTube Music is a major dilemma. But for me, it’s not a question of picking one over the other.
