9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-27 21:32:01

In its short film No Frame Missed, Apple shows how an iPhone videography feature has become an unlikely source of support for users with Parkinson’s. The video tells the story of how Action mode, first introduced with iPhone 14, stabilizes shaky footage so people with movement disorders can record moments without distraction or compromise. Paired with Voice Control, the accessibility feature that lets users operate iPhone hands-free with spoken commands, the two technologies have an even great

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-27 22:51:35

After Xbox and Nintendo both made their consoles and peripherals more expensive, it was inevitable that Sony would make the same move. Now every version of the PlayStation 5 costs $50 more, no matter if you decide to opt for the all-digital version or the PlayStation 5 Pro. No matter whether you’re an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo diehard, all your consoles will cost you way more, all down to the economic shitstorm caused by Trump tariffs.

Improvements to OCaml code editing: the basics of a refactor engine

Refactoring features have contributed to the popularity of editors like IntelliJ, as well as certain programming languages whose editor support offers interactive mechanisms to manage code — Gleam being an excellent example. Even though OCaml has some features related to refactoring (such as renaming occurrences, substituting typed holes with expressions, and case analysis for pattern matching), the goal of my internship was to kickstart work on a robust set of features to enable the smooth inte

A team of researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Spain has succeeded, for the first time, in recording in real time and in 3D the implantation of a human embryo.

iPhone 17 Pro case has surprising name after FineWoven mess, box hints at new Apple accessory

The latest development is the alleged name, and a potentially new Apple accessory that may be sold separately.
