9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-12-17 05:25:39

iPadOS 26 is packed full of productivity upgrades, including a new windowing system that lets you use far more apps at once than before. And that newfound ability has made an overlooked ‘More Space’ setting significantly more useful. ‘More Space’ makes app windows more dense with content, perfect for iPadOS 26 No matter which iPad you’re using, iPadOS 26 has big upgrades for how many apps can be visible on-screen. On my 13-inch M4 iPad Pro, I can have up to 12 windows visible simultaneously.

Tim Cook: iOS 26 is ‘by far’ Apple’s most popular beta ever

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-12-18 00:37:18

Apple reported huge quarterly earnings yesterday, and on the call with investors, CEO Tim Cook gave an update on how popular iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe are proving thus far. Whatever your opinion of the new Liquid Glass design coming in iOS 26 and Apple’s other updates, there’s no doubt it’s sparked a lot of interest. As compelling as new features might be for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, there’s nothing like a fresh design to spur upgrades. And according to CEO Tim Cook, Apple has seen

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-18 05:00:28

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

Yesterday, Android Authority published an exclusive report detailing what Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup could look like next year. And based on what we know, Samsung could be releasing one of the biggest Galaxy S shakeups we’ve ever seen. Traditionally, we expect Samsung to release three phones: a base model, a Plus variant, and its flagship Ultra — as you see with the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

That’s a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals. The phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.
