Apple, Please Don't Let AI Ruin the iPhone 17's Camera

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-01 09:00:10

AI has quickly made its way into all parts of our phones, and the cameras are no exception. I was taken aback by the Honor 400 Pro phone'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. But the iPhones have always focused first and foremost on delivering some of the best image quality you can get in a camera phone, and as a professional photographer I wan

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 23:15:55

Google Pixel phones are packed with intelligent and helpful features. While Google ensures many of these are front and center by promoting them when you first set up the phone or by periodically reminding you about them when you perform certain tasks, a surprising number of equally brilliant features fly under the radar. These hidden gems can significantly improve your daily experience with your phone. It’s a shame that a ton of users simply don’t know about them. With that in mind, this is a l

Google says pick Maps or Waze in the car — here’s how I use both

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-02 00:30:28

Andy Walker / Android Authority Despite its litany of flaws, I love Android Auto. It makes driving more enjoyable by offering easy access to my music collection and putting important navigation information front and center. However, it does have some silly limitations that hamper the latter. Google Maps is my primary navigation platform. It’s what my Android Auto instance boots into, and I don’t necessarily have a problem with that. It’s relatively reliable for daily commutes and has an approa

Does alleged iPhone 17 Pro leak show second Camera Control?

iPhone 17 Pro could be even more ‘Pro’ than usual this year

Recent years have brought a notable shift in Apple’s ‘Pro’-branded products, and rumors indicate the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will continue that trend in a big way by leaning more ‘Pro’ than ever. Apple’s ‘Pro’ branding used to mostly mean ‘better,’ but that’s changing Not long ago, Apple’s Pro-branded products didn’t exactly mean “for professionals.” Rather, ‘Pro’ has generally been another way for Apple to indicate “premium,” “more expensive,” or just overall “better than non-Pro.” But th
